Mark 6:7

Sending Out the Twelve Apostles

6:7 Jesus ¹  called the twelve and began to send them out two by two. He gave them authority over the unclean spirits. ² 

Mark 14:13

14:13 He sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar ³  of water will meet you. Follow him.

¹ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² sn The phrase unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.

³ sn Since women usually carried these jars, it would have been no problem for the two disciples (Luke 22:8 states that they were Peter and John) to recognize the man Jesus was referring to.
