Ebanghelyo subong nga Adlaw (Marcos 6:7-13)
Gintawag niya ang dose niya ka apostoles kag ginpadala niya sila sing tagduha-duha. Ginhatagan niya sila sing gahom batok sa malaot nga mga espiritu.
Ginmanduan niya sila, "Indi kamo magdala sang bisan ano sa inyo paglakat kundi baston gid lang. Indi man kamo magdala sang pagkaon, kuwarta ukon bag.
Puwede kamo makasuksok sang sandalyas, pero indi kamo magdala sang ilislan nga bayo.
Kon padayunon kamo sa isa ka balay, dira gid lang kamo magtiner hasta maghalin kamo sa sina nga lugar.
Pero kon ang mga tawo sa isa ka lugar indi magbaton sa inyo kag indi magpamati sang inyo ginawali, bayai lang ninyo sila, kag sa paghalin ninyo, taktaka ninyo ang yab-ok sa inyo tiil bilang paandam batok sa ila."
Gani naglakat sila kag nagwali nga dapat maghinulsol ang mga tawo sa ila mga sala.
Madamo nga malaot nga mga espiritu ang ila gintabog kag madamo nga mga masakiton ang ila ginhaplasan sang lana nga nag-alayo.

Meditation: What kind of authority and power does the Lord want you to exercise on his behalf? Jesus gave his apostles both the power and the authority to speak and to act in his name. He commanded them to do the works which he did – to heal. to cast out evil spirits, and to speak the word of God – the good news of the gospel which they received from Jesus. When Jesus spoke of power and authority he did something unheard of. He wedded power and authority with love and humility. The "world" and the "flesh" seek power for selfish gain. Jesus teaches us to use it for the good of our neighbor.
Why does Jesus tell the apostles to "travel light" with little or no provision? "Poverty of spirit" frees us from greed and preoccupation with possessions and makes ample room for God's provision. The Lord wants his disciples to be dependent on him and not on themselves. He wills to work through and in each of us for his glory. Are you ready to handle the power and authority which God wishes you to exercise on his behalf? The Lord entrusts us with his gifts and talents. Are you eager to place yourself at his service, to do whatever he bids you, and to witness his truth and saving power to whomever he sends you?
"Lord Jesus, make me a channel of your grace and healing love that others may find life and freedom in you. Free me from all other attachments that I may joyfully pursue the things of heaven. May I witness the joy of the gospel both in word and deed."
