Main points to ponder
The twelve apostles. “An ‘apostle’ is an ordained leader in the Melchizedek Priesthood in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Apostles are chosen through inspiration by the President of the Church, sustained by the general membership of the Church, and ordained by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles by the laying on of hands. … In addition to serving as witnesses of Jesus Christ to all the world (Doctrine and Covenants 107:23), as Jesus’ apostles did, members of the current Quorum of the Twelve Apostles hold the keys of the priesthood—that is, the rights of presidency (Doctrine and Covenants 107:35; cf. 124:128)” (Encyclopedia of Mormonism [1992], 1:59–60).

Is there a point at which it is “too late” to be healed? Consider the story of Jairus 5 and the story of the woman with a chronic ailment, both found in Mark 5. See also Luke 8:41–56; Russell M. Nelson, “Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 39–42; Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Gordon B. Hinckley (2016), 333–42. Also, see Matthew 10; Luke 9:1–6
How do the instructions Jesus gave his apostles in Matthew 10 apply to us? What power did Christ give His Apostles to help them fulfill their mission? How can you access His power in the work you have been called to do? (see 2 Corinthians 6:1–10; Doctrine and Covenants 121:34–46). See also Mark 6:7–13; Articles of Faith 1:6; Bible Dictionary, “Apostle”; “Jesus Calls Twelve Apostles to Preach and Bless Others” (video), ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
The Lord foresaw that His disciples would be persecuted and questioned about their faith—something similar to what disciples today may experience. Consider Luke 12:11–12; Doctrine and Covenants 84:85, Matthew 10:34–39, Elder D. Todd Christofferson “Finding Your Life,” Ensign, Mar. 2016, 28), and Matthew 10:39.
