Mark 6:1–13

¹And he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him, ²and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, ‘Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done? 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 being stumbled at him. ⁴And Jesus said to them—‘A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;’ ⁵and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal them; ⁶and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching.

⁷And he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits, ⁸and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only—no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle, ⁹but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats. ¹⁰And he said to them, ‘Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence, ¹¹and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.’ ¹²And having gone forth they were preaching that men might reform, ¹³and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing them.
