Jesus Commissions the Twelve

Luke 9:1-6

And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure sicknesses,

and he sent them to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal the ailing.

And he said unto them, `Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;

and into whatever house ye may enter, there remain, and thence depart;

and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.'

And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.
