Luke 9:1-6

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

1 ¹And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,

2 ²and he sent them out to ³proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.

3 ⁴And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, ⁵no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. ^[a]

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

5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town ⁶shake off the dust from your feet ⁷as a testimony ⁸against them. ”

6 ⁹And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
