Mark 6:1-9 ▼

1 And He went forth thence, and cometh into His own country; and His disciples follow Him.

2 And, when the sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many, hearing Him , were astonished, saying, "Whence hath this Man these things?" And, "What is the wisdom which is given to This Man?" And, "Such mighty works are wrought by His hands!"

3 "Is not This the Carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not His sisters here with us?" And they were finding occasion of stumbling in Him.

4 And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house."

5 And He could there do no mighty work, except that, laying His hands on a few sick people, He healed them.

6 And He marvelled because of their unbelief. And He was going round about the villages, teaching.

7 And He calleth to Him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two, and was giving them authority over the unclean spirits;

8 and He charged them that they should take nothing for the way, except a staff only; no bread, no wallet, no money in their girdle;

9 but to go shod with sandals; and He said , put not on two coats.
