1 Jesus called his twelve apostles together. He gave them power to heal sicknesses and power to force demons out of people.
2 He sent them to tell about God’s kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 He said to them, “When you travel, don’t take a walking stick. Also, don’t carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing.
4 When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave.
