Read Mark 6.7-13 (Mt 10.1, 9-11; 9.1-6) Missionary instructions.
In verse 7 contrasts with Matthew's lack of mission and Luke's concern that the
twelve remain with Jesus as witnesses.
In verse 8 the disciples take even less than Cynics (traveling Greco-Roman philosophers
who urged audiences to divest themselves of all social conventions and to live according to nature) and are completely dependent upon those who receive them.
In verses 12-13 repentance repeats the original message of Jesus and John, as teaching,
exorcism, and healing show the disciples in Jesus' role.
Recounting John's death (6.14-29) in the context of the mission,
Mark indicates the dangers Jesus' followers face.
