Mark 6:4-14

⁴And Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour, but in his country, and among his relations, and in his family.

⁵And he was unable to do any work of power there, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.

⁶And he was greatly surprised because they had no faith. And he went about the country places teaching.

⁷And he gave orders to the twelve, and sent them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

⁸And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;

⁹They were to go with common shoes on their feet, and not to take two coats.

¹⁰And he said to them, Wherever you go into a house, make that your resting-place till you go away.

¹¹And whatever place will not take you in and will not give ear to you, when you go away, put off the dust from your feet as a witness against them.

¹²And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.

¹³And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.

¹⁴And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.
