But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
Jesus sent the twelve out as His representatives after they had traveled with Him on foot through Galilee. They had shared His toils and hardships, listened to His teaching, watched His life, and worked with Him for the multitudes.
For that preaching mission they were to go shod with sandals and not put on two coats, taking only what was needed and traveling simply and unencumbered. They were to rely on the homes they visited for food and a place to rest. The support received in those households helped guide where they should spend their time and teach.
