Jesus Sends Out The Twelve To Proclaim The Kingdom And Heal The Sick

9 Now having called together the twelve, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases. ² And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick ones. ³ And He said to them, “Be taking nothing for the journey— neither a staff, nor a [traveler’s] bag, nor bread, nor money, nor are you to have two tunics^[a] each. ⁴ And into whatever house you enter, be staying there, and going forth from there. ⁵ And all who do not welcome you— while going out from that city, be shaking-off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them”. ⁶ And going forth, they were going from village-to-village announcing-the-good-news and curing everywhere.
