Mark 6:2-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
2And when the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, 'Where did this man learn these things, and what is this wisdom that has been given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands? 3Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are His sisters not here with us?' And they took offense at Him. 4Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not dishonored except in his hometown and among his own relatives, and in his own household.' 5And He could not do any miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.
7And He *summoned the twelve and began to send them out in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
8and He instructed them that they were to take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belt—
9but to wear sandals; and He added, 'Do not wear two tunics.'
10And He said to them, 'Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town.
11Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet as a testimony against them.'
12And they went out and preached that people are to repent.
King James Version
Chapter 6
2And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
7And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
8And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
9But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
10And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
12And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
2When 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? 3Isn’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.
4Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his household."
5He was not able to do a miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6And he was amazed at their unbelief. He was going around the villages teaching.
7He summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs and gave them authority over unclean spirits.
8He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a staff—no bread, no traveling bag, no money in their belts,
9but to wear sandals and not put on an extra shirt.
10He said to them, "Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place.
11If 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."
12So they went out and preached that people should repent.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
2The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. They asked, 'Where did he get all this wisdom and the power to perform such miracles?' 3Then they scoffed, 'He’s just a carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us.' They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.
4Then Jesus told them, 'A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.'
5And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
6And he was amazed at their unbelief. Then Jesus went from village to village, teaching the people.
7And he called his twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority to cast out evil spirits.
8He told them to take nothing for their journey except a walking stick — no food, no traveler’s bag, no money.
9He allowed them to wear sandals but not to take a change of clothes.

2And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? 3Is 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 took offense at him. 4And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household." 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.

Chapter 6
2When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.
4Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home."
5He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
6He was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.
7Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits.
8These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts.
9Wear sandals but not an extra shirt.
10Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town.
11And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."

4But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
5Now 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. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.
7And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.
8He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts—
9but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.
10Also He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place.
11And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
