  ²On the first day of every week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.

  ¹He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

  ²He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.

  ³He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two coats each.

  ⁴Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

  ⁵As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

  ⁶They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
