Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Mark 6, 7-13
Then he summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs, giving them authority over unclean spirits. And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff — no bread, no haversack, no coppers for their purses. They were to wear sandals but, he added, ‘Don’t take a spare tunic.’ And he said to them, ‘If you enter a house anywhere, stay there until you leave the district. And if any place does not welcome you and people refuse to listen to you, as you walk away shake off the dust under your feet as evidence to them.’ So they set off to proclaim repentance; and they cast out many devils, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
Mark 6, 7-13
U sejjaħ it-Tnax, u beda jibgħathom tnejn tnejn, filwaqt li tahom is-setgħa fuq l-ispirti ħżiena. U wissiehom biex ma jieħdu xejn magħhom għat-triq ħlief ħatar: la ħobż, la ħorġa, lanqas flus fi ħżiemhom; imma li jilbsu l-qrieq u ma jxiddux żewġ ilbiesi. Qalilhom: “Fejn tidħlu f’xi dar, ibqgħu fiha sa ma titilqu minn hemmhekk. U jekk xi post ma jilqagħkomx u ma jisimgħukomx, itilqu minn hemm u farfru t-trab minn taħt saqajkom bħala xhieda kontrihom.” Ħarġu mela jxandru biex in-nies jindmu; u keċċew bosta xjaten, u dilku ħafna morda biż-żejt u fejjquhom.
