Hallo! He reduces the `luggage` to the bare essential. Essential clothing - one tunic - the staff ''first lines of Psalm 23 come to mind'' and a pair of sandals. No bread or money either. They need to rely solely on the loving and welcoming attitude of those open to hear God`s message of love. For survival in exchange of the real Life that they can bring through healing taht comes from repentance. To bring which they need to be fully and properly nourished by feeding mainly on the Bread of Life.

How did Jesus equip his disciples for powerful work by taking away their material possessions?
Jesus equip his disciples for powerful by taking away their material possessions and giving them authority over the unclean spirits. He charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only : no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse, but to wear sandals and put on two tunics. They went out and preached that people should repent. They cast out many demons, and annointed many with oil who were seick, and healed them.

The material possessions would be more of a distraction to them than a help to preach the Word. Jesus also allowed space for people to receive Blessings. For whoever welcome a tired visitor, feed him and give him to drink receives a Blessing for their home and family.They had no load on their backs to carry which made it easier for them to stay anywhere and to walk longer distances.

Their material possessions would not give them the strength they would be given by their absolute faith in Jesus and in God`s power to provide for them.

Why 12?
Not 24 or any other even number as they had to go out two by two. Then.To help each other. Originally though they were 13 because of Judas who betrayed Jesus..but then he was replaced. Maybe am gettingh my maths totally mixed up so ignore.Also true that if 13 all together, then Jesus went to Heaven so they were left to twelve and anyway they were meant to multiply and they are far more than 12 now. Even then you needed enough to keep the word spreading as many died martyrised. They had to call as many if each called another twelve...the number would have dramatically increased.So it could be a call a reminder of faithfulness: sent out in teams of two do not betray the other liked Judas did. Why thne 12 and not lets say 16? Because Jesus started preaching in the temple aged 12 so as none of them was a shepard or in any way connected by family blood links to the Pharisees...it was maybe a form of encouragemnet. You have my teaching via the Father who spoke via me even when i was at the onset of my adolscence late childhood. You are men. The basket makes you also think of Moses abandoned to the currents of the river and yet never abandoned but guided to the mission God had reserved for him.And even Jesus who was the High Shepard was the carpenter son of a carpenter: he had to build the Church of which he was the cornerstone. In the midddle of the arch the gateway to Heaven. Anything to do with bricklaying rules in the sense that the other sides have to be harmoniously made of an equal number of stones? 6 on each side...a Christ centered countering to 66 the number of the beast?

Jesus equip the deciples for the powerful work as follows: He sent them two by two, gave them authority over evil spirits, that they should take nothing except someone to assist '' nurse'' them for the great commission, no bread, no warlet, no money in their purse but wear sandals and not in two tunics. He said , when you enter into the house stay there until you depart from there. Shake off the dust to the unbelieving people as a testmony against them.

Thwey bring spiritual healing and salvation. They must travel light materially speaking. Its a tough march that they are willing to face to bring the joyous news of salvation. Trusting the Lord that wherever there are open ears and souls their seed will be planted. And the family ''who is my family'' will provide for their temporary needs. The law of love. They carry oils for spiritual healing and seeds of hope planting scattering for the future harvesting, those who will come next and the farmers will be fed and sheltered.

Plus each other. He sends them out in two. For mutual help and support joined in the alliance that is rooted in their alliance with Jesus God`s mission.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

He went around the villages teaching. He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse, but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics. He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there. Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"
They went out and preached that people should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.
