The answer is: None of these

Matt 10:9-10

When Jesus sent out his twelve disciples, he issued some surprising instructions about what they could—or rather, couldn't—take with them. No money, extra clothes, or even a bag filled with supplies. It was an early lesson in faith and dependence on God, demonstrating that their mission hinged more on spiritual richness than material wealth.

It's fascinating to consider how these first ambassadors of Jesus received hospitality. They relied on the communities they ministered to for their needs. This echoes many biblical themes where individuals had to step out in faith, like Abraham leaving his homeland without knowing where he’d end up. Jesus' appointment of the Twelve comes with parallels to him selecting those most unlikely from a human perspective—fishermen and tax collectors, for starters.

Now, imagine walking through a town dusty and hungry, relying on a stranger's kindness, without a pot to piddle in! Crazy, right? But there’s beauty in that vulnerability; it opens hearts and creates bonds, which can lead to belief well beyond their objective. Plus, it scoffs at the societal norms of self-sufficiency that say the more we have, the better.

In an age where many believe we’re here to offer everything commercially, this remarkable call to humility surely leaves us pondering on our reliance on relationships and faith rather than things material—maybe just hitch your emotional wagon to kindness, not things!
