6 Jesus was amazed that they had no faith.Then Jesus went to other villages in that area and taught.
7 He called the 12 followers together and sent them out in groups of 2. He gave them authority over evil spirits.
8 This is what Jesus told them: “Take nothing for your trip except a walking stick. Take no bread, no bag, and no money in your pockets.
9 Wear sandals, and take only the clothes you are wearing.
10 When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place.
11 If any town refuses to accept you or its people refuse to listen to you, then leave that town. Shake its dust off your feet. This will be a warning to them.”
12 The followers went out and preached to the people to change their hearts and lives.
