Mark 6:1-9 ▼

1 AND he went out thence, and came into his native country; and his disciples followed him.

2 And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many when they heard him were amazed, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and what is the wisdom given to him, that even such miracles are done by his hands?

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

4 Then said Jesus unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his native place, and among his relations, and in his own family.

5 And he could not do there any miracle, except that laying his hands on a few sick persons he cured them.

6 And he marvelled at their infidelity. And he went about the villages around, teaching.

7 And called the twelve, and began to send them two and two, and gave them authority over unclean spirits.

8 And he commanded them, that they should take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither scrip, nor bread, nor even brass money in their purse:

9 wearing sandals, and not to be clothed with two coats.
