^3 (A)And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, ^(B)no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.^[a]

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

³⁵ And he said to them, ^(A)“When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

^4 (A)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and ^(B)greet no one on the road. ⁵ Whatever house you enter, first say, ^(C)‘Peace be to this house!’ ⁶ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, ^(D)it will return to you. ⁷ And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for ^(E)the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. ⁸ Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. ⁹ Heal the sick in it and say to them, ^(F)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ ¹⁰ But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, ^11 (G)‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that ^(H)the kingdom of God has come near.’ ¹² I tell you, ^(I)it will be more bearable on ^(J)that day for Sodom than for that town.

⁴ No soldier ^(A)gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

⁸ He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— ⁹ but to ^(A)wear sandals and not put on two tunics.^{[a] 10} And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. ¹¹ And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, ^(B)shake off the dust that is on your feet ^(C)as a testimony against them.”

^9 (A)Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, ¹⁰ no bag for your journey, or two tunics^[a] or sandals or a staff, for ^(B)the laborer deserves his food. ¹¹ And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. ¹² As you enter the house, ^(C)greet it. ¹³ And if the house is ^(D)worthy, let ^(E)your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let ^(F)your peace return to you. ¹⁴ And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, ^(G)shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.

¹¹ And he answered them, ^(A)“Whoever has two tunics^[a] is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”

²⁸ But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, ^(A)O you of little faith!
