 # Mark 6
 ## 6:1-6
 
+
 ### Where did Jesus live when he was a child?
 
+[6:1]
+
 Jesus’ family lived in Nazareth.
 
 See Map: Nazareth
 
+
 ### What was the Sabbath?
 
+[6:2]
+
 See: [Sabbath](../articles/sabbath.md)
 
+
 ### Why did the people want to know who taught Jesus?
 
+[6:2]
+
 In ancient Israel, many teachers learned from other teachers. They taught the same things their teachers taught. This is why they wanted to know who taught Jesus. He did not teach the same things any other teacher taught. 
 
+
 ### Why did the people ask questions about how Jesus performed miracles?
 
+[6:2]
+
 The people asked Jesus who gave Jesus the power to do miracles. They did not think God gave Jesus the power to do these miracles. They thought Satan gave him this power (see: Mark 3:22).
 
 See: [Miracle](../articles/miracle.md); [Satan (The Devil)](../articles/satan.md)
 
+
 ### Did Jesus have brothers and sisters?
 
+[6:3]
+
 Some scholars think that Mary and Joseph had other children after Jesus was born. These people were talking about Jesus’ brothers and sisters. Fewer scholars think that Mary and Joseph did not have any more children after Jesus. They think these were Jesus’ cousins.
 
 See: [Family of Jesus](../articles/familyjesus.md)
 
+
 ### Why did the people not like what Jesus said?
 
+[6:3]
+
 The people did not like what Jesus said because the people knew Jesus was Mary’s son. They knew his brothers and sisters, they did not believe he was sent from God and was their messiah.
 
 See: [Messiah (Christ)](../articles/messiahchrist.md)
 
+
 ### What did Jesus mean when he said, “a prophet is not without honor”?
 
+[6:4]
+
 When Jesus said that a prophet was “not without honor,” he wanted to say that people respected or honored a prophet. The only place that a prophet is not honored is in the place where he lived when he was a child.  Jesus was a prophet. Perhaps he was also thinking about how Israel would reject him as their messiah.
 
 See: [Prophet](../articles/prophet.md); [Messiah (Christ)](../articles/messiahchrist.md)
 
+
 ### Why was Jesus unable to heal people?
 
+[6:5]
+
 Jesus was able to heal anyone in this place. Some scholars think Jesus was not free to heal people when the people did not believe in him.  Jesus healed people so they would know that God sent him and that they will believe in him. The people in Nazareth did not believe in Jesus, even when they saw him heal people. 
 
+
 ## 6:7-13
 
+
 ### Who were the twelve?
 
+[6:7]
+
 The twelve were the twelve disciples.
 
 See: [Disciple](../articles/disciple.md)
 
+
 ### What did Jesus send the disciples to do?
 
+[6:7]
+
 Jesus sent the twelve disciples to tell other people about Jesus and to heal people who have unclean spirits living in them. 
 
 See: [Disciple](../articles/disciple.md); [Demon](../articles/demon.md); [Clean and Unclean](../articles/cleanunclean.md); [Demon Possession (Casting Out Demons)](../articles/demonpossession.md)
 
+
 ### Why did Jesus not want the disciples to take anything with them?
 
+[6:8, 6:9]
+
 Jesus did not want the disciples to take anything with them when they traveled. That was because they were to go quickly and to know that God would give them everything they needed. They took only a staff to help them walk. 
 
 They were also not to have two tunics. A tunic was the main piece of clothing they wore. They wore a second tunic at night when it was cold. They carried the other tunic during the day. However, God would make sure they were warm at night. 
 
 See: [Disciple](../articles/disciple.md)
 
+
 ### Why were the disciples to remain in one house?
 
+[6:10]
+
 The disciples were told to remain in one house. At this time it was a great honor to have someone stay in your home. Jesus did not want his disciples to dishonor a host by leaving that house. 
 
 See: [Disciple](../articles/disciple.md)
 
+
 ### Why were the disciples to shake the dust off their feet?
 
+[6:11]
+
 If the people in a town rejected the disciples, the disciples were told to shake the dust off their feet when they left the town. According to the Law of Moses, the Jews needed to welcome people who were travelling. If they did not welcome the disciples, they disobeyed God. At this time, certain Jews shook the dust off their feet when leaving a place where Gentiles lived. This is because they thought they were leaving an unclean area.
 
 See: [Disciple](../articles/disciple.md); [Law of Moses](../articles/lawofmoses.md); [Clean and Unclean](../articles/cleanunclean.md);[Gentile](../articles/gentile.md)

+
 ### Why did someone get anointed with oil?
 
+[6:13]

+[6:20]
