11 Jesus taught his disciples to trust in Jehovah. He told them: “Do not acquire gold or silver or copper for your money belts, or a food pouch for the trip, or two garments, or sandals, or a staff, for the worker deserves his food.” (Matthew 10:9, 10) It was common for travelers to take along a type of belt for money, a food pouch for provisions, and an extra pair of sandals.a By instructing his disciples not to worry about such things, Jesus was, in effect, saying: “Place your trust entirely in Jehovah, for he will take care of your needs.” Jehovah would provide for them by moving those who accepted the good news to extend hospitality, which was a custom in Israel.—Luke 22:35.
