What command did he give them respecting the provision of staves?
Matthew and Luke: They were not to provide themselves with staves. “Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves” ([Matt. x, 9, 10]; [Luke ix, 3]).
Mark: “Commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only” ([vi, 8]).
