Jesus gives twelve ordinary men authority over every dark thing, and then he takes away their luggage. No staff, no bag, no bread, no money, not even a spare coat. Read the list slowly and you see that none of it is luxury: it is the ordinary minimum by which a traveller stays independent of everyone he meets. Without it, the Twelve cannot get through one day without receiving something from a stranger, and that is exactly the point. The message and the messenger arrive together. Stay in the first house that opens, he adds, and if a town refuses you, shake its dust off your feet and leave the refusal on the ground. Then they went out through the villages, healing everywhere. Twelve men, no budget, no plan beyond the next open door. (Lk 9:1-6)
