The Twelve Sent Out

^7 (A)And ^(B)He *summoned the twelve and began to send them out ^(C)in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits; ^8 (D)and He instructed them that they were to take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff—no bread, no ^[a]bag, no money in their belt— ⁹ but ^[b]to wear sandals; and He added, “Do not wear two ^[c]tunics.” ¹⁰ And He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you ^[d]leave town. ¹¹ Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, ^(E)shake the dust ^[e]off the soles of your feet as a testimony against them.” ^12 (F)And they went out and ^[f]preached that people are to repent. ¹³ And they were casting out many demons and ^(G)were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.

^30 (A)The ^(B)apostles *gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught. ³¹ And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and ^(C)they did not even have time to eat.) ^32 (D)And they went away in ^(E)the boat to a secluded place by themselves.
