8For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

9Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,

10who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,

11you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.

1Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

2He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

3And He said to them, 'Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.

4'Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.

5And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.'

6So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
