Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)

Jesus[a] called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. Then he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He told them, “Don’t take anything along on your trip—no walking stick, traveling bag, bread, money, or even an extra shirt.[b] When you visit a home and stay there, and go out from there, if people don’t welcome you, when you leave that city, shake its dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” So they left and went from village to village, spreading the good news and healing diseases everywhere.
