Ministry of the Twelve

1 Now He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons, and the power to heal diseases. 2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing. 3 And He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a *9:3 Or knapsackbag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two *9:3 A long shirt worn next to the skintunics.4 And whatever house you enter, stay there *9:4 Lit and leave from thereuntil you leave that city.5 And as for all who do not receive you, when you leave that city, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."6 And as they were leaving, they began going *9:6 Or from village to villagethroughout the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
