Contextual Overview
1Jesus called his twelve cowboys to him and told 'em to listen up. He gave 'em all power to whip demons and cure cankers and cancers.
2He then sent them out to tell everyone the good news about God's outfit.
3He told 'em, "Just take what you need and nothing else. Don't take a pack horse or even saddle bags. Don't stick any money into the bottom of your boots for emergency and don't even take your slicker.
4When people are glad to see you, stay at their place until you leave.
5If people are unfriendly toward you, then leave that ranch and shake the dust off your boots, so you don't spread their hate around."
6So Jesus dropped 'em off at different points on the first gatherin', and they gave clinics on the good news and how to ride in God's outfit. The cowboys healed folks from all over.
7When Herod, the fellow who ran the area of Galilee, heard about all these things that were happening, he started getting a sinking feeling because folks were saying that John the Baptizer had come back to life.
8Still other rumors were saying that Elijah had returned. The stories also included that it was another long-dead cowboy of God who was doing all of this.
9When receiving a report one day, Herod stated, "I cut the Baptizer's head off. But if it ain't him doing all these miracles, then who could it be?" And Herod wanted to see for himself this man named Jesus.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto them, take nothing for your journey,.... Throughout the towns and cities of Judea, where they were sent to preach the Gospel:
neither staves, The Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions, read in the singular number, "neither staff, rod, or club"; and so it was in one of Beza's ancient copies, but in all the rest in the plural, as in Matthew; which last must be the true reading, since one staff was allowed, according as in Mark 6:8 though more than one were forbidden:
nor scrip; or bag to put provision in;
Mark 6:8- :
Neither bread, neither money; gold, silver, or brass, to buy bread with; because they were to have it, wherever they came, given them, as their due, and the reward of their labour;
neither have two coats apiece; the word "apiece" is left out in one copy, nor is it expressed in the Vulgate Latin and the eastern versions, which read as in Matthew 10:10 though the word does aptly and clearly express the sense of the prohibition, which was not that they should not have two coats among them, but not two apiece; or each man should not have two, or have change of raiment; Matthew 10:10- :
