Mark 6:11 - Barnes' Notes

Mark 6:11

9 but ^ato wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.

10 ^aAlso He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place.

11 ^aAnd whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, ^bshake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them.² Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

12 So they went out and preached that people should repent.

13 And they cast out many demons, ^aand anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.

Mark 6:8-11

See these verses fully explained in the notes at Matthew 10:9-15. In Matthew 10:5 they were commanded not to go among the Gentiles or Samaritans. Mark omits that direction, perhaps, because he was writing for the "Gentiles," and the direction might create unnecessary difficulty or offence. Perhaps he omits it also because the command was given for a temporary purpose, and was not in force at the time of his writing.
