Luke 9:4-6

J.B. Phillips New Testament

Jesus commissions the twelve to preach and heal

9 ^1-5 Then he called the twelve together and gave them power over all evil spirits and the ability to heal disease. He sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick, with these words, “Take nothing for your journey—neither a stick nor a purse nor food nor money, nor even extra clothes! When you come to stay at a house, remain there until you go on your way again. And where they will not welcome you, leave that town, and shake the dust off your feet as a protest against them!”

⁶ So they set out, and went from village to village preaching the Gospel and healing people everywhere.
