Bible Question:
When we read Mark 6:8-9, Jesus' instructions seem clear enough: the only item that the Twelve are to take with them on their missionary journey is a staff. Yet then we read Matthew 10:9-10 and Luke 9:3, which prohibit the taking of a staff. So were they to take a staff? -Why the difference? |
Bible Answer: "10:10 or a bag for your journey. They are to travel light; perhaps it was a quick journey. They could count on traditional hospitality at the hands of many devout Jewish householders. Notice the later change of instructions in Luke 22:36." Staff or no staff, they were required to travel lightly. --Nolan |
