Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam (9,1-6)
In illo tempore: Convocátis autem Duódecim, dedit illis virtútem et potestátem super ómnia dæmónia, et ut languóres curárent, et misit illos prædicáre regnum Dei et sanáre infírmos; et ait ad illos: “Nihil tuléritis in via, neque virgam neque peram neque panem neque pecúniam, neque duas túnicas habeátis. Et in quamcúmque domum intravéritis, ibi manéte et inde exíte. Et quicúmque non recéperint vos, exeúntes de civitáte illa púlverem pedum vestrórum excútite in testimónium supra illos.” Egréssi autem circumíbant per castélla evangelizántes et curántes ubíque.
At that time: Jesus, calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them virtue and power over all devils, and to cure maladies. And he sent them to preach the Kingdom of God; and to heal the sick. And he said to them: Take nothing for the way, neither rod, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money, neither have two coats. And into whatsoever house you enter, tarry there, and thence do not depart. And whosoever shall not receive you, going forth out of that city, shake off the dust also of your feet for a testimony upon them. And going forth they went a circuit from town to town evangelizing and curing every-where.
