Luke 9:4
2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.
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.”
6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
