As to our Lord's sending forth his disciples without money in their purses, the remark has been made that in this "there was no departure from the simple manners of the country. At this day the farmer sets out on excursions quite as extensive without a para in his purse; and a modern Moslem prophet of Tarshisha thus sends forth his apostles over this identical region. No traveller in the East would hestitate to throw himself on the hospitality of any village." Thomson's Land and the Book. (See SCRIP.)

Purse:
a bag for money. The Hebrews, when on a journey, were provided with a bag, in which they carried their money (Genesis 42:35; Proverbs 1:14; 7:20; Isaiah 46:6) and, if they were merchants, also their weights (Deuteronomy 25:13; Micah 6:11). This bag is described in the New Testament by the terms balantion (bag). (Luke 10:4; 12:33; 22:35; 22:38) and glossokomon (originally the bag in which musicians carried the mouth‐pieces of their Instruments). (John 12:6; 13:29). The girdle also served as a purse (Matthew 10:9; Mark 6:8). Ladies wore ornamental purses (Isaiah 3:24).
Scrip:
a small bag or wallet usually fastened to the girdle (1Sa 17:40); "a shepherd's bag."
In the New Testament it is the rendering of Gr. pera, which was a bag carried by travellers and shepherds, generally made of skin (Mat 10:10; Mar 6:8; Luk 9:3; 10:4). The name "scrip" is meant to denote that the bag was intended to hold scraps, fragments, as if scraped off from larger articles, trifles.
