Mark 6:7-13 (New International Version)

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

    Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. ⁷Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil^[a] spirits.

 ⁸These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. ⁹Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. ¹⁰Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. ¹¹And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them."

 ¹²They went out and preached that people should repent. ¹³They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
