Yes it does say that Jesus "summoned His twelve" and "gave THEM authority over unclean spirits". And then it goes on to name the twelve including Judas. I'm not making any false or incorrect interpretation. You simply are not reading the text and trying to split hairs for the sake of argument. You may wish to review the companion verses on thing:

Luk 9:1-6 And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing. And He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city. And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them." Departing, they began going throughout the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere."

One presumes that when the gospel talks about the TWELVE being sent out and that THEY began going through the vilages and that THEY were preaching the gospel and that THEY were healing everywhere it means precisely that.

Uh-uh-uh. Now you're making guesses aren't you? Interpreting the text to suit your own purpose. Does it say explicitly that Judas performed miracles? No. It says Jesus gave him the authority to do them, but it doesn't say that Judas did do any.

You're basing your interpretations on assumptions and guesses.

You complain that there's no biblical proof for Peter being in Rome when there is adequate extra-biblical proof for it while making guesses about Judas' miraculous powers.
