Here is, I. The commission given to the twelve apostles, to preach and work miracles; it is the same which we had more largely, Mt. 10. Mark doth not name them here, as Matthew doth, because he had named them before, when they were first called into fellowship with him, Mar 3:16-19.
Commenting on Mark 6:7-13
But be shod with sandals,.... Which were different from shoes, and more fit to travel with, and therefore allowed when shoes were forbidden; See Gill on Mat 10:10, though some think there was no difference between shoes and sandals, and that Christ, in Mat 10:10, does not forbid the taking of shoes, but two pair of shoes; as not two coats, nor two staves, but one of a sort only.
But [be] shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. (e) The word properly signifies women's shoes. (f) That is they should take no change of garments with them, so that they might be lighter for this journey and travel more quickly.
