Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

9 Then Jesus called [fn]the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to heal diseases, 2 and he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no [fn]staffs, no knapsack, no bread, no money—and [fn]bring only one tunic each. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that place. 5 If any will not receive you, shake off the very dust from your feet as you leave that town, as a testimony against them.” 6 So they set out and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
