Mark 6:6-16

6 And He wondered at their unbelief. 1And He was going around * the villages teaching.

The Twelve Sent Out

7 2And 3He summoned the twelve and began to send them out 4in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
8 5and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff -no bread, no bag, no money in their belt -
9 but to wear sandals; and He added, "Do not put on two tunics."
10 And He said to them, "Wherever * you enter a house, stay there until you leave town.
11 "Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, 6shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."
12 7They went out and preached that men should repent.
13 And they were casting out many demons and 8were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.

John's Fate Recalled

14 9And King Herod heard of it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, "10John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him."
15 But others were saying, "He is 11Elijah." And others were saying, "He is 12a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."
16 But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, "John, whom I beheaded, has risen!"
