7 Then he called his twelve apprentices and started sending them out in pairs and giving them authority over demons. 8 He insisted that they can carry a walking stick but not to take food, a backpack, or money. 9 They could wear one pair of sandals, but not take changes of clothes. 10 And he told them, “Whenever you are invited into a home, stay at that one place until you leave that town. 11 [ref]But if any places don’t want you or don’t want to hear what you have to say, just leave that place. As you go, shake the dust off your sandals so they can see that you pass the responsibility of what happened to them.”

12 So the apprentices went off and started telling people to repent. 13 [ref]And they drove out many demons, and anointed many sick people with olive oil and healed them.
