# General Information:

Jesus's instructions in verses 8 and 9 can be reordered to separate what he told the disciples to do from what he told them not to do, as  in the UDB. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-versebridge]])

# to take nothing for their journey, except a staff

This double negative emphasizes that a staff is the only thing that they were to take. Alternate translation: "to take only a staff for their journey" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublenegatives]])

# no bread

Here "bread" is a synecdoche for food in general. Alternate translation: "no food" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
