Mark 6:7-13

7 Jesus called the Twelve to him, and sent them out in pairs. He gave them authority and power to deal with the evil opposition.

8 He sent them off with these instructions: "Don't think you need a lot of extra equipment for this. You are the equipment. No special appeals for funds. Keep it simple.

9

10 "And no luxury inns. Get a modest place and be content there until you leave.

11 "If you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way."

12 Then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different;

13 right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits.
