12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
12 They went out and preached that people should repent.
12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent.
12 Then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different;
12 So they went out and preached that people should repent.
12 So the disciples went out, telling everyone they met to repent of their sins and turn to God.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 6:12
Commentary on Mark 6:7-13
(Read Mark 6:7-13)
Though the apostles were conscious to themselves of great weakness, and expected no wordly advantage, yet, in obedience to their Master, and in dependence upon his strength, they went out. They did not amuse people with curious matters, but told them they must repent of their sins, and turn to God. The servants of Christ may hope to turn many from darkness unto God, and to heal souls by the power of the Holy Ghost.
