Mark 6:7-13

The Twelve Commissioned and Sent Out

7 And he summoned the twelve and began to send them out two [by] two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

8 And he commanded them that they take along nothing for the journey except only a staff--no bread, no traveler's bag, no money in their belts--

9 but to put on sandals and not to wear two tunics.

10 And he said to them, "Whenever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.

11 And whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, [as you] go out from there, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them."

12 And they went out [and] proclaimed that [people] should repent.

13 And they were expelling many demons and anointing many sick [people] with olive oil and healing [them].
