Mark 6:8

6:8 He instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff ¹  – no bread, no bag, ²  no money in their belts –

Mark 10:49

10:49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So ³  they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.”

¹ sn Neither Matt 10:9-10 nor Luke 9:3 allow for a staff. It might be that Matthew and Luke mean not taking an extra staff, or that the expression is merely rhetorical for “traveling light,” which has been rendered in two slightly different ways.

² tn Or “no traveler’s bag”; or possibly “no beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.
