Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples (MRK 6:6-13)

[6:6] Then Jesus went to the villages around there, teaching the people.

[6:7] He called the twelve disciples together and sent them out two by two. He gave them authority over the evil spirits

[6:8] and ordered them, “Don't take anything with you on the trip except a walking stick—no bread, no beggar's bag, no money in your pockets.

[6:9] Wear sandals, but don't carry an extra shirt.”

[6:10] He also told them, “Wherever you are welcomed, stay in the same house until you leave that place.

[6:11] If you come to a town where people do not welcome you or will not listen to you, leave it and shake the dust off your feet. That will be a warning to them!”

[6:12] So they went out and preached that people should turn away from their sins.

[6:13] They drove out many demons, and rubbed olive oil on many sick people and healed them.
