Mark 6:7-13

English Standard Version

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

⁷^(A)And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. ⁸He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— ⁹but to ^(B)wear sandals and not put on two tunics.^[a] ¹⁰And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. ¹¹And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, ^(C)shake off the dust that is on your feet ^(D)as a testimony against them.” ¹²^(E)So they went out and ^(F)proclaimed ^(G)that people should repent. ¹³^(H)And they cast out many demons and ^(I)anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

⁵^(A)These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of ^(B)the Samaritans, ⁶^(C)but go rather to ^(D)the lost sheep of ^(E)the house of Israel. ⁷And proclaim as you go, saying, ^(F)‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’^[a] ⁸^(G)Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,^[b] cast out demons. ^(H)You received without paying; give without pay. ⁹^(I)Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, ¹⁰no bag for your journey, or two tunics^[c] or sandals or a staff, for ^(J)the laborer deserves his food. ¹¹And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. ¹²As you enter the house, ^(K)greet it. ¹³And if the house is ^(L)worthy, let ^(M)your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let ^(N)your peace return to you. ¹⁴And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, ^(O)shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. ¹⁵Truly, I say to you, ^(P)it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for ^(Q)the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
