Luke 9:1-6

Jesus Sends Out the Apostles

9 Jesus called the 12 apostles together. He gave them power to heal sicknesses and power over all demons. ² Jesus sent the apostles out to tell about God’s kingdom and to heal the sick. ³ He said to them, “When you travel, don’t take a walking stick. Also, don’t carry a bag, or food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing. ⁴ When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave. ⁵ If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake the dust off of your feet.^[a] This will be a warning to them.”

⁶ So the apostles went out. They traveled through all the towns. They told the Good News and healed people everywhere.
