Context of Luke 9:4
2He sent them to spread the message about God’s kingdom and to cure the sick. 3He told them, “Don’t take anything along on the trip. Don’t take a walking stick, traveling bag, any food, money, or a change of clothes. When you go into a home, stay there until you’re ready to leave. 5If people don’t welcome you, leave that city, and shake its dust off your feet as a warning to them.” 6The apostles went from village to village, told the Good News, and cured the sick everywhere.
