Whatever house you go into, stay there and leave from there. Whoever will not receive you, leave that town and shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them." So they went out from village to village preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

He was astonished at their lack of faith. Then he made a tour round the villages, teaching. And summoning the twelve he proceeded to send them out two by two; he gave them power over the unclean spirits, and ordered them to take nothing but a stick for the journey, no bread, no wallet, no coppers in their girdle; read more.
they were to wear sandals, but not to put on two shirts, he said. Also, he told them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there till you leave the place. And if any place will not receive you and the people will not listen to you, shake off the very dust under your feet when you leave, as a warning to them." So they went out and preached repentance; also they cast out a number of daemons and cured a number of sick people by anointing them with oil.
