'Journey' in the Bible

And he commanded them that they take along nothing for the journey except only a staff--no bread, no traveler's bag, no money in their belts--

And he began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence [around it], and dug a trough for the winepress, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.

It is like a man away on a journey, who left his house and gave his slaves authority--to each one his work--and to the doorkeeper he gave orders that he should be on the alert.
