A leather bag or traveler's wallet used for carrying provisions. Jesus instructed His disciples to take no bag on their mission, teaching radical dependence on God's provision.
Jesus sent out His disciples with the instruction: 'Take nothing for the journey — no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt' (Luke 9:3). This was not about poverty as a virtue but about demonstrating that God Himself is sufficient provision. When they returned, Jesus asked: 'Did you lack anything?' They answered: 'Nothing' (Luke 22:35).
