Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles
7 qAnd he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and rgave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He charged them to take snothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— 9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.1 10 And he said to them, t“Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. 11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, ushake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should vrepent. 13 And they wcast out many demons and xanointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
30 hThe apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. 31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. 33 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
