Luke 9:1-6

The Ministry of the Twelve

1 Then Jesus called the Twelve ^[a] together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases. ¹

2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

3 “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, ^[b] no second tunic.

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

5 If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”

6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
