The outline of Mark 6:7–13

Mark 6:7–13 (ESV)

7 And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

The mission of the twelve disciples is presented to us in the form of a narrative (Mark 6:7, Mark 6:12–13). In the middle section (Mark 6:8–11) we find the specific instructions that Jesus gave them for this mission.

We can also outline this section as follows:1

  • Introduction (Mark 6:7)

  • Jesus’ instruction to the twelve (Mark 6:8–11)

    • Travel instructions (Mark 6:8–11)

    • Accommodation instructions (Mark 6:10–11)
