Mark 6:7-13

Rejected Prophet, Sending Lord, Wilderness Shepherd, and Divine Son on the Sea

Mark 6 moves from hometown rejection to apostolic mission, from John's martyrdom to Jesus' shepherding compassion, from wilderness hunger to miraculous provision, from sea terror to divine reassurance, and from hardened disciples to needy crowds who still seek his healing touch.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

7 Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8 He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9 and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10 And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”

12 So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13 They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.
