Mark 6:1-9 ▼

1 And he came out thence, and came to his native land; and his disciples follow him.

2 And sabbath having come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing were struck with amazement, saying, Whence to this one these things? and what this wisdom given to him, that such powers are done by his hands?

3 Is not this the carpenter, son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Jude, and Simon and are not his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in him.

4 And Jesus said to them, That a prophet Is not unhonoured, except in his native land, and in kinsmen, and in his house.

5 And he could do no power there, except having laid his hands upon a few sick, he cured.

6 And he wondered for their unbelief. And he went about the towns teaching.

7 And he calls the twelve, and began to send them, two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

8 And enjoined them, that they take nothing for the way, except a rod only; no traveling-sack, no bread, no brass in the purse:

9 But bound with sandals; and not clothed with two coats.
