1 Jesus called the Twelve together. He gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to heal sicknesses.
2
Then he sent them out to preach about God's kingdom and to heal those who were sick.
3
He told them, "Don't take anything for the journey. Do not take a walking stick or a bag. Do not take any bread, money or extra clothes.
4
When you are invited into a house, stay there until you leave town.
5
Some people may not welcome you. If they don't, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town. This will be a witness against the people living there."
6
So the Twelve left. They went from village to village. They preached the good news and healed people everywhere.
