Ministry of the Twelve

(A)And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. And He sent them out to (B)proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing. And He said to them, (C)Take nothing for your journey, (D)neither a staff, nor a [a]bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have [b]two tunics apiece. Whatever house you enter, stay there [c]until you leave that city. And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, (E)shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” Departing, they began going [d]throughout the villages, (F)preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure sicknesses,

and he sent them to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal the ailing.

And he said unto them, `Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;

and into whatever house ye may enter, there remain, and thence depart;

and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.'

And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.
