Did Jesus tell his apostles to go barefoot and without a staff?


He told them to go barefoot, without a staff.

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purse, Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves. Matthew 10:10

And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. Luke 9:3

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes. Luke 10:4

He told them to wear sandals and carry a staff.

And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: But be shod with sandals. Mark 6:8-9

Note for Mark 6:10 in The Harper Collins Study Bible: "Even staff and sandals are prohibited in Mt 10.10; Lk 9.3; 10.4."
