Mark 6:7-13

The Twelve Sent Out

7 ¹And ²He summoned the twelve and began to send them out ³in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

8 ⁴and 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, ⁵shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."

12 ⁶They went out and preached that men should repent.

13 And they were casting out many demons and ⁷were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.
