POWER AND WISDOM BELONG TO HIM

Then Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. He said to them, ‘Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.’ So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them. (Mk 6, 7-13)

In today’s liturgy the Gospel selection starts: “Jesus called the twelve …” In the Bible there is a small word that connects today’s selection with the verses preceding it. The word is: “Then”. This little word can help us understand better today’s gospel.
