The answer is: None of these

Matt 10:9-10

When exploring the journey of Jesus’ twelve disciples, it’s fascinating to see the principles behind their mission. In Matthew 10:9-10, Jesus commands them not to bring extra money, bags, or even shoes along the way. Instead, He emphasized reliance on God and the hospitality of those they would visit. This directive promoted a spirit of simplicity and greatest devotion to the task at hand: spreading the message of love and unity.

Interestingly, during that time, hospitality held a significant cultural value in Jewish society. People were generally expected to welcome travelers, etching deep ties into their communities. So when Jesus instructed the disciples this way, it wasn’t just about the physical journey; it was also about demonstrating trust in God's providence wherein reliance on the kindness of strangers could reveal the strength of communal bonds.

Furthermore, these teachings reiterate an important aspect of Christian faith, which is worldly detachment. The picture that emerges here is one of empowering faith. The disciples were sent out not as conquerors, but as beggars of sorts, only offering transformative good.

A fun tidbit: another thought-provoking detail is that Paul, in his evangelistic journeys later on, inverted this concept by teaching that it’s perfectly fine to earn and provide for oneself—each in their own seasons of life! This showcases the evolution of thought as they wanted to expand the imperative of love and grace, suitable for shifting contexts as the movement grew.
