The Twelve Commissioned and Sent Out

And he said to them, “Take along nothing for the journey—neither a staff, nor a traveler’s bag, nor bread, nor money, nor to have two tunics apiece. And into whatever house you enter, stay there and depart from there. And as for all those who do not welcome you—when you[a] depart from that town, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.” So they departed and[b] went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
