Mark 6:10-12
New English Translation
10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there[a] until you leave the area. 11 If a place will not welcome you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off[b] your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So[c] they went out and preached that all should repent.

- Mark 6:10 sn Jesus telling his disciples to stay there in one house contrasts with the practice of religious philosophers in the ancient world who went from house to house begging.
- Mark 6:11 sn To shake the dust off represented shaking off the uncleanness from one’s feet; see Luke 10:11; Acts 13:51; 18:6. It was a sign of rejection.
- Mark 6:12 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.
