Luke 10:1-11
After this, the Lord appointed 70 others, and He sent them ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place where He Himself was about to go.He told them:“ The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.Don’t carry a money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals; don’t greet anyone along the road.Whatever house you enter, first say,‘ Peace to this household.’If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Don’t be moving from house to house.When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you.Heal the sick who are there, and tell them,‘ The kingdom of God has come near you.’When you enter any town, and they don’t welcome you, go out into its streets and say,‘ We are wiping off as a witness against you even the dust of your town that clings to our feet. Know this for certain: The kingdom of God has come near.’

Summoning the Twelve, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and power to heal diseases.Then He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.“ Take nothing for the road,” He told them,“ no walking stick, no traveling bag, no bread, no money; and don’t take an extra shirt.Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there.If they do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”So they went out and traveled from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.

Galatians 1:15-20
But when God, who from my birth set me apart and called me by His grace, was pleasedto reveal His Son in me, so that I could preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone.I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me; instead I went to Arabia and came back to Damascus.Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to get to know Cephas, and I stayed with him 15 days.But I didn’t see any of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.Now I am not lying in what I write to you. God is my witness.
