Mark 6:1-9 ▼

1 And He went out from thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples attended Him:

2 and when the sabbath was come, He began to teach in the synagogue: and many that heard Him were astonished, and said, From whence hath He these things? and what is this wisdom which is given unto Him, that even such mighty things are done by his hands?

3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here among us? and they were prejudiced against Him.

4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is nowhere less honoured, than in his own country, and among his relations, and his own family.

5 And He could do no miracle there, only laying his hands on a few sick people He healed them;

6 and He was amazed at their unbelief. But he went about all the villages round, teaching.

7 And He calleth unto Him the twelve, and sent them forth two and two, and gave them power over impure spirits;

8 and ordered them to take nothing for their journey, but a staff only; no bag, nor bread, nor money in their purse:

9 but to tie on their sandals, and not to put on two coats.
