Take no bag for the road The phrase "take no bag for the road" emphasizes the call to trust in God's provision. The Greek word for "bag" (πήρα, pera) refers to a traveler's bag or a beggar's sack. In the historical context, this instruction underscores the urgency and simplicity of the mission. Jesus is teaching His disciples to rely not on material possessions but on the hospitality and generosity of those they will minister to. This reflects a broader biblical principle of dependence on God rather than on earthly resources. or second tunic or sandals or staff for the worker is worthy of his provisions Neither two coats.--Commonly, the poorer Eastern traveller carried with him the flowing plaid-like outer garment (the modern abba), with one "coat" or tunic next the skin, and one clean one as a change. That simplest of all the comforts of life they were in this work of theirs to dispense with. Neither shoes, nor yet staves.--The apparent contradiction between these words and St. Mark's "nothing except a staff only," "be shod with sandals," is explained by what has been said above. They were to have none of the reserved comforts of common travellers, no second staff in case the first should break, no second pair of shoes in which to rest the worn and weary feet. The "sandals" were the shoes of the peasant class. Experience (and, we may add, the Spirit that teaches by experience) has led the Christian Church at large to look on these commands as binding only during the mission on which the Twelve were actually sent. It is impossible not to admire the noble enthusiasm of poverty which showed itself in the literal adoption of such rules by the followers of Francis of Assisi, and, to some extent, by those of Wiclif; but the history of the Mendicant Orders, and other like fraternities, forms part of that teaching of history which has led men to feel that in the long-run the beggar's life will bring the beggar's vices. Yet here, as in the case of the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount, the spirit is binding still, though the letter has passed away. The mission work of the Church has ever prospered in proportion as that spirit has pervaded it. For the workman is worthy of his meat.--It is a singular instance of the varied application of the same truth, that these words--which our Lord makes the ground of His command that men should make no provision for the future and commit themselves to their Father's care--are quoted by St. Paul (1Timothy 5:18) as a plea for an organised system for the maintenance of the ministers of the Church. The same law fulfils itself in many ways--now by helping to pay the hire of the labourer, now by the full confidence that the payment may be left to God, and to the grateful hearts of men.
