THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK - Chapter 6 - Verse 8

Verses 8-11. See Barnes "Mt 10:9"

and Mt 10:10-15. In Mt 10:5, they were commanded not to go among the Gentiles or Samaritans. Mark omits that direction, perhaps, because he was writing for the Gentiles, and the direction might create unnecessary difficulty or offence. Perhaps he omits it also because the command was given for a temporary purpose, and was not in force at tile time of his writing.

{1} "no money" or, "The word signifies a piece of brass money, in value somewhat less than a farthing" Lu 9:3.
