(Matthew 10:5–15 (https://biblehub.com/msb/matthew/10.htm#5); Mark 6:7–13 (https://biblehub.com/msb/mark/6.htm#7))
1 (https://biblehub.com/luke/9-1.htm)Then Jesus called the Twelvea (https://biblehub.com/msb/luke/9.htm#fn) together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases. 2 (https://biblehub.com/luke/9-2.htm)And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 (https://biblehub.com/luke/9-3.htm)“Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staffs,b (https://biblehub.com/msb/luke/9.htm#fn) no bag, no bread, no money,c (https://biblehub.com/msb/luke/9.htm#fn)no secondd (https://biblehub.com/msb/luke/9.htm#fn) tunic. 4 (https://biblehub.com/luke/9-4.htm)Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area. 5 (https://biblehub.com/luke/9-5.htm)If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”
6 (https://biblehub.com/luke/9-6.htm)So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
