Mark 6:4-14

⁴But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own hometown, and among his relatives, and in his own house.”

⁵And He could do no miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

⁶And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

⁷And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

⁸He commanded them that they should take nothing for the journey except a staff, only—no knapsack, no bread, nor a copper coin for their money belts—

⁹but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.

¹⁰And He said to them, “Wherever you may enter into a house, stay there until you go out from there.

¹¹And as many as do not receive you nor hear you, as you leave from there, shake off the dust underneath your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom or for Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment than for that city!”

¹²And when they went out, they were preaching that people should repent.

¹³And they were casting out many demons, and they were anointing with oil many who were sick, and were healing them.

¹⁴And King Herod heard, for His name became well known. And he said, “John the Baptizer has been raised from the dead, and for this reason the miracles are at work in him.”
