Luke 9:1-6

Ministry of the Twelve

1 ¹And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.

2 And He sent them out to ²proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing.

3 And He said to them, "³Take nothing for your journey, ⁴neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece.

4 "Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city.

5 "And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, ⁵shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."

6 Departing, they began going throughout the villages, ⁶preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
