What Does Mark 6:9 Mean?
The instructions continue: sandals on the feet, a single coat on the back. The messengers are equipped like men on urgent business, shod to walk far, but without the spare garment a traveler kept against cold nights.
One coat means moving fast and trusting much. The urgency of the message sets the weight of the luggage; nothing may slow the announcement of the kingdom. There remains a word here for every disciple: simplicity is freedom, and the servant who needs little can go wherever the Master points.
