In Mark 6:7-13, Jesus calls his twelve disciples and gives them authority to cast out demons and heal the sick. He instructs them to travel light, taking only the essentials, and to rely on the hospitality of those they meet. They are to preach repentance, drive out unclean spirits, and anoint the sick with oil. The disciples go out, following Jesus’ commands, and they have success in performing miracles and spreading the message of the kingdom of God.
