Commissioning the Twelve

He(A) summoned(B) the Twelve(C) and began to send(D) them out in pairs and gave them authority over unclean(E) spirits.(F) He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a staff—no bread, no traveling bag,(G) no money in their belts, but to wear sandals and not put on an extra shirt.(H) 10 He said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place. 11 If any place does not welcome(I) you or listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet(J) as a testimony(K) against them.”[a] 12 So they went out and preached(L) that people should repent.(M) 13 They drove out many demons,(N) anointed(O) many sick(P) people with oil(Q) and healed them.(R)
