Mark 6:1-13

He  left there and came to his hometown,  and his disciples  followed him. When the Sabbath  came, he began to teach  in the synagogue,  and many who heard him were astonished. “Where did this man get these things? ” they said. “What is this wisdom  that has been given to him, and how are these miracles  performed by his hands? Isn’t this the carpenter,  the son of Mary,  and the brother of James,  Joses, Judas,  and Simon? And aren’t his sisters here with us? ” So they were offended  by him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet   is not without honor   except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his household.” He was not able to do a miracle  there, except that he laid his hands on  a few sick  people and healed  them. And he was amazed  at their unbelief.  He was going around the villages teaching.  He  summoned  the Twelve  and began to send  them out in pairs and gave them authority over unclean  spirits.  He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a staff #— #no bread, no traveling bag,  no money in their belts, but to wear sandals and not put on an extra shirt.  He said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place. If any place does not welcome   you or listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet   as a testimony   against them.”   So they went out and preached  that people should repent.  They drove out many demons,  anointed  many sick  people with oil  and healed them.
