2. He sent them to tell about God’s kingdom and to heal the sick.
3. He said to them, “When you travel, don’t take a walking stick. Also, don’t carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing.
4. When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave.
5. If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them.”
