Mark 6:1–13

¹And he went out thence and came to his own country, and his disciples follow him. ²And when sabbath was come he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were amazed, saying, Whence has this man these things? and what is the wisdom that is given to him, and such works of power are done by his hands? ³Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him. ⁴But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not despised save in his own country, and among his kinsmen, and in his own house. ⁵And he could not do any work of power there, save that laying his hands on a few infirm persons he healed them. ⁶And he wondered because of their unbelief. And he went round the villages in a circuit, teaching.

⁷And he calls the twelve to him; and he began to send them out two and two, and gave to them power over the unclean spirits; ⁸and he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their belt; ⁹but be shod with sandals, and put not on two body-coats. ¹⁰And he said to them, Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there remain till ye shall go thence. ¹¹And whatsoever place shall not receive you nor hear you, departing thence, shake off the dust which is under your feet for a testimony to them. ¹²And they went forth and preached that they should repent; ¹³and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many infirm, and healed them.
