The Twelve Sent Out

(A)And (B)He *summoned the twelve and began to send them out (C)in pairs, and was giving them authority over the unclean spirits; (D)and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only—no bread, no [a]bag, no money in their belt— but [b]to wear sandals; and He added, “Do not put on two [c]tunics.” 10 And He was saying to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you [d]leave town. 11 And any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, (E)shake the dust [e]off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them.” 12 (F)And they went out and [f]preached that men should repent. 13 And they were casting out many demons and (G)were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.

He called for the Twelve and sent them out in pairs. He gave them authority over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a walking stick—no bread, no bags, and no money in their belts. He told them to wear sandals but not to put on two shirts. 10 He said, “Whatever house you enter, remain there until you leave that place. 11 If a place doesn’t welcome you or listen to you, as you leave, shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should change their hearts and lives. 13 They cast out many demons, and they anointed many sick people with olive oil and healed them.
