The answer is: None of these

Matt 10:9-10

In Matthew 10:9-10, Jesus sends out His disciples on a mission and instructs them not to carry any extra supplies, like gold or silver. It's a fascinating command that emphasizes a deep reliance on divine provision. Imagine hitting the road without your usual travel essentials—we're so accustomed to our creature comforts!

This instruction also echoes broader themes found in ancient Hebrew culture, where reliance on God during times of need or on journeys is prevalent. The Exodus is a notable example. The Israelites left Egypt armed only with faith, not provisions, voicing a trust that God would orbit around them like a protective cloud.

On the flip side, the directive gives the disciples a unique privilege: the ability to firsthand experience God's miraculous provision as they preach passage in search of healing and salvation. This isn't just a test; it's a learner's lab on faith in action!

What's more, it’s interesting to note that each of the 12 disciples came from various professions and backgrounds—fishermen, a tax collector, and even a zealot, who likely had different takes on work and success. Perhaps by encouraging them to travel simply, Jesus redefined their understanding of purpose and mission. Instead of material possessions, their very presence and the message they carried were meant to create transformational moments for those they encountered. Truly, the power of sharing what you have out of love can be more significant than the stuff you possess!
