Jesus Sends Out the Twelve^(A)^(B)

9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons^(C) and to cure diseases,^(D) ²and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God^(E) and to heal the sick. ³He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.^(F) ⁴Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. ⁵If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”^(G) ⁶So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
