Sending Out the Twelve Apostles

6:7 Jesus9 called the twelve and began to send them out two by two. He gave them authority over the unclean spirits.10 6:8 He instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff11—no bread, no bag,12 no money in their belts—6:9 and to put on sandals but not to wear two tunics.13 6:10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there14 until you leave the area. 6:11 If a place will not welcome you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off15 your feet as a testimony against them.” 6:12 So16 they went out and preached that all should repent. 6:13 They cast out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
