“Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.”
Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road — the minimal provisions instruction is more stringent than the twelve's commission: no purse, no bag, no sandals. Do not greet anyone on the road: the urgency of the mission prohibits the extended greetings of the ancient world that could consume significant time. The mission's urgency requires focus.
