Luke 9:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey,[a] neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there.(A) 5 And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet[b] in testimony against them.”(B)
