Mathew 10:9-10
9 Provide yourselves with no gold or silver, not even with coppers for your purses,
10 with no haversack for the journey or spare tunic or footwear or a staff, for the labourer deserves his keep.
Mark 16:16-20
16 Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 These are the signs that will be associated with believers: in my name they will cast out devils; they will have the gift of tongues;
18 they will pick up snakes in their hands and be unharmed should they drink deadly poison; they will lay their hands on the sick, who will recover.’
19 And so the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven; there at the right hand of God he took his place,
20 while they, going out, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that accompanied it.
First one - actually my shoes are pretty worn out right now but I love them and keep them, but sometimes I do worry about lack of material means in certain situations and when I worry I worry lol.
Second one - well the actual animal is not in the parable but so it happens I have collided several times with wasps and they didn’t sting me and once a dog was about to bite me and I turned to look at him and he let my leg go, his teeth didn’t even scratch my skin he was just sort of like holding me. No dogs in the parable either but I guess it applies.
