Mark 6:5-15

5And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.

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

8He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.

10And he said to them, "Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there.

11And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them."

12So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent.

13And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.

14King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him."

15But others said, "He is Elijah." And others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."
