5 So Jesus was not able to work any miracles there except to heal a few sick people by putting his hands on them.
6 He was amazed at how many people had no faith.Then Jesus went to other villages in that area and taught.
7 He called his twelve followers together and got ready to send them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.
8 This is what Jesus commanded them: “Take nothing for your trip except a walking stick. Take no bread, no bag, and no money in your pockets.
9 Wear sandals, but take only the clothes you are wearing.
10 When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town.
11 If the people in a certain place refuse to welcome you or listen to you, leave that place. Shake its dust off your feet as a warning to them.”
