Bible verse
He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—
Mark 6:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 6.
4 Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
5 So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.
6 And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.
7 Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
8 He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—
9 and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.
10 And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.
11 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”
12 So they set out and preached that the people should repent.
