Mark 6:8 · BSB

Mark 6:8 in context

The verses around it, from Mark 6.

4 Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5 So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6 And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7 Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8 He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9 and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10 And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”

12 So they set out and preached that the people should repent.
