A Reminder of God's Provision

Commentators agree that Jesus begins by having the disciples recall their first mission (Luke 10:4). He sent them without money or supplies, yet they confirmed they "lacked nothing." This served as a powerful, experience-based reminder of God's complete and faithful provision, intended to build their confidence in His care.
