Luke 9:1-6 (NRSV)
1Then
Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all
demons and to cure diseases, 2and he sent them out to proclaim
the kingdom of God and to heal. 3He said to them, "Take nothing
for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money — not even an extra
tunic. 4Whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there.
5Wherever they do not welcome you, as you are leaving that town
shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them." 6They
departed and went through the villages, bringing the good news and curing
diseases everywhere.
