Mark 6:1-9 ▼

1 And he departed thence, and came into his owne countrey, and his disciples followed him.

2 And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the Synagogue, and many that heard him, were astonied, and sayd, From whence hath this man these things? And what wisdome is this that is giuen vnto him, that euen such great workes are done by his hands?

3 Is not this that carpenter Maries sonne, the brother of Iames & Ioses, and of Iuda & Simon? And are not his sisters here with vs? And they were offended in him.

4 Then Iesus sayd vnto them, A Prophet is not without honour, but in his owne countrey, and among his owne kindred, & in his own house.

5 And he could there doe no great workes, saue that hee layd his hands vpon a fewe sicke folke, and healed them,

6 And he marueiled at their vnbeliefe, and went about by ye townes on euery side, teaching.

7 And he called vnto him the twelue, and began to send them forth two and two, and gaue them power ouer vncleane spirits,

8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their iourney, saue a staffe onely: neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their girdles:

9 But that they should be shod with sandals, & that they should not put on two coates.
