¹ Jesus then called the twelve apostles together and gave them power and authority over all evil spirits and [the ability] to heal diseases. ² And He sent them out to preach the [coming] kingdom of God and to heal sick people. ³ He said to them, "Do not take anything with you during your travels; not [even] a walking stick [Note: By comparing this and the restriction in Matt. 10:10, with the permission given in Mark 6:8, the harmony seems to be "if you do not already have a walking stick, do not get one"], or a traveling bag [for personal belongings], or food, or money, or [even] two coats [Note: Mark 6:9 says, "take only one coat" confirming the idea that Jesus was saying, in effect, "do not take anything extra, go just as you are"].
