Mark 6:3-13

3 "Is not this ¹the carpenter, ²the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not ³His sisters here with us?" And they took ⁴offense at Him.

4 Jesus said to them, "⁵A prophet is not without honor except in ⁶his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household."

5 And He could do no * miracle there except that He ⁷laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6 And He wondered at their unbelief. ⁸And He was going around * the villages teaching.

The Twelve Sent Out

7 ⁹And ¹⁰He summoned the twelve and began to send them out ¹¹in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

8 ¹²and 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, ¹³shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."

12 ¹⁴They went out and preached that men should repent.

13 And they were casting out many demons and ¹⁵were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.
