Mark 6:7-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
7 And He summons the twelve, and began to send them out two by two. And He was giving them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 And He instructed them that they should be taking nothing for the journey except a staff [a] only— no bread, no [traveler’s] bag, no money[b] for the [money] belt— 9 but should go having [merely] tied-on sandals. “And do not put on two tunics[c]”. 10 And He was saying to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, be staying there until you go forth from-that-place[d]. 11 And whatever place does not welcome you, nor do they listen-to you— while proceeding out from-that-place, shake-out the dirt under your feet for a testimony against them”. 12 And having gone forth, they proclaimed that they should repent. 13 And they were casting out many demons. And they were anointing[e] many sick ones with oil and curing them.
