Our suggested Scripture reading for July 8, 2018, from the 2018 UCC
Church Calendar:
Mark 6:1-13 (NLT)
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth – Sends Out the Twelve Disciples
6 Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to
Nazareth, his hometown. 2 The next Sabbath he began teaching in the
synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. They asked, “Where
did he get all this wisdom and the power to perform such miracles?” 3 Then
they scoffed, “He’s just a carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of
James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us.”
They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.
4
Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own
hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” 5 And because of
their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his
hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 And he was amazed at their
unbelief.
Then Jesus went from village to village, teaching the people. 7 And he called
his twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving
them authority to cast out evil spirits. 8 He told them to take nothing for their
journey except a walking stick—no food, no traveler’s bag, no money. 9 He
allowed them to wear sandals but not to take a change of clothes.
10
“Wherever you go,” he said, “stay in the same house until you leave
town.11 But if any place refuses to welcome you or listen to you, shake its
dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those
people to their fate.”
12
So the disciples went out, telling everyone they met to repent of their sins
and turn to God. 13 And they cast out many demons and healed many sick
people, anointing them with olive oil.
