The Twelve Sent Out

7 (A)And (B)He *summoned the twelve and began to send them out (C)in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits; 8 (D)and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff—no bread, no (a)bag, no money in their belt— 9 but (b)to wear sandals; and He added, “Do not put on two (c)tunics.” 10 And He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you (d)leave town. 11 Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, (E)shake the dust (e)off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them.”
