Then ahe called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2 And bhe sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 3 cAnd he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. 4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. 5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet dfor a testimony against them. 6 eAnd they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
