"Calling the twelve about Him, Jesus bade them go out two and two through the towns and villages. None were sent forth alone, but brother was associated with brother, friend with friend. Thus they could help and encourage each other, counseling and praying together, each one's strength supplementing the other's weakness. In the same manner He afterward sent forth the seventy. It was the Saviour's purpose that the messengers of the gospel should be associated in this way. In our own time evangelistic work would be far more successful if this example were more closely followed. DA 350.1"
"And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;"
The EGW passage directly references and expands upon the event described in Mark 6:7, specifically the sending out of the twelve disciples in pairs.
"After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come."
The EGW passage explicitly mentions the sending out of the seventy, mirroring the event described in Luke 10:1. The detail of sending them out 'two and two' is also present in both texts.
"The disciples’ message was the same as that of John the Baptist and of Christ Himself: “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” They were to enter into no controversy with the people as to whether Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah; but in His name they were to do the same works of mercy as He had done. He bade them, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” DA 350.2"
"And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."
The EGW passage directly quotes Matthew 10:7-8, including the message 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand' and the instructions to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils, and freely give.
"And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Both passages refer to the message 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' While EGW doesn't directly quote Matthew 3:2, she connects the disciples' message to that of John the Baptist, which is the context of Matthew 3:2.
"During His ministry Jesus devoted more time to healing the sick than to preaching. His miracles testified to the truth of His words, that He came not to destroy but to save. His righteousness went before Him, and the glory of the Lord was His rearward. Wherever He went, the tidings of His mercy preceded Him. Where He had passed, the objects of His compassion were rejoicing in health, and making trial of their new-found powers. Crowds were collecting around them to hear from their lips the works that the Lord had wrought. His voice was the first sound that many had ever heard, His name the first word they had ever spoken, His face the first they had ever looked upon. Why should they not love Jesus, and sound His praise? As He passed through the towns and cities He was like a vital current, diffusing life and joy wherever He went. DA 350.3"
"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people."
Both passages highlight Jesus' ministry of teaching, preaching, and healing. The EGW passage elaborates on the impact of Jesus' healing ministry, which is summarized in Matthew 4:23.
"loving missionary can do more than this. Often the heart will harden under reproof; but it will melt under the love of Christ. The missionary cannot only relieve physical maladies, but he can lead the sinner to the Great Physician, who can cleanse the soul from the leprosy of sin. Through His servants, God designs that the sick, the unfortunate, those possessed of evil spirits, shall hear His voice. Through His human agencies He desires to be a Comforter such as the world knows not. DA 350.4"
"And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people."
Both passages describe Jesus' ministry of teaching, preaching, and healing, and the EGW passage expands on the idea of leading people to spiritual healing, which is implicit in Matthew 9:35.
