1 Jesus called the 12 apostles together. He gave them power to heal sicknesses and power over all demons.
2 Jesus sent the apostles out 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, or 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.
5 If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake the dust off of your feet. This will be a warning to them.”
