Pentecost! Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. Calling the Twelve
to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil
spirits.
These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except
a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. Wear sandals but
not an extra tunic. Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave
that town. And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake
the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them."
~ Mark 6: 6-11
