And He summons the twelve, and began to send them out two by two. And He was giving them authority over the unclean spirits. And He instructed them that they should be taking nothing for the journey except a staff [a] only— no bread, no [traveler’s] bag, no money[b] for the [money] belt— but should go having [merely] tied-on sandals. “And do not put on two tunics[c]”. 10 And He was saying to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, be staying there until you go forth from-that-place[d]. 11 And whatever place does not welcome you, nor do they listen-to you— while proceeding out from-that-place, shake-out the dirt under your feet for a testimony against them”. 12 And having gone forth, they proclaimed that they should repent. 13 And they were casting out many demons. And they were anointing[e] many sick ones with oil and curing them.
