Luke 9:3

Money and wealth

1 Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.

2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

“Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.

4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.

5 If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”
