9 1 HE NOW CALLED the Twelve together and gave them power and authority to overcome all the devils and to cure diseases, 9 2 and sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. 9 3 'Take nothing for the journey,' he told them, 'neither stick nor pack, neither bread nor money; nor are you each to have a second coat. 9 4 When you are admitted to a house, stay there, and go on from there. 9 5 As for those who will not receive you, when you leave their town shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them.' 9 6 So they set out and travelled from village to village, and everywhere they told the good news and healed the sick.
