Mark 6:12

The Twelve Commissioned And Sent Out

¹¹ Any place that does not welcome you or listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet as a testimony against them [breaking all ties with them because they rejected My message].” ¹² So they went out and preached that men should repent [that is, think differently, recognize sin, turn away from it, and live changed lives]. ¹³ And they were casting out many demons and were anointing with oil many who were sick, and healing them.
