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 Feeds the Five Thousand

³⁰^(A)^(B)The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. ³¹And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and ^(C)they had no leisure even to eat. ³²^(D)And they went away in ^(E)the boat to a desolate place by themselves. ³³Now many saw them going and ^(F)recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. ³⁴When he went ashore he ^(G)saw a great crowd, and ^(H)he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
