Mark 6:4–13

4 But Jesus said to them, f“A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” 5 gNow He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And hHe marveled because of their unbelief. iThen He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

Twelve are Sent to Serve

Matt. 10:1–42; Luke 9:1–6

7 jAnd He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out ktwo by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. 8 He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts—9 but lto wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.

10 mAlso He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. 11 nAnd 1whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, oshake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. 2Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

12 So they went out and preached that people should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons, pand anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.
