1 After Jesus called the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,
2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey – no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, and do not take an extra tunic.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave the area.
5 Wherever they do not receive you, as you leave that town, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”
