2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.

2 He commissioned them to preach the news of God's kingdom and heal the sick.

3 And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.

3 He said, "Don't load yourselves up with equipment.

4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.

4 Keep it simple; you are the equipment. And no luxury inns - get a modest place and be content there until you leave.

5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them."

5 If you're not welcomed, leave town. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and move on."

6 And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

6 Commissioned, they left. They traveled from town to town telling the latest news of God, the Message, and curing people everywhere they went.
