Twelve Disciples Walking Out Two by TwoBible World

Mark 6:13

And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

Mark 6:13 belongs to the sending out of the disciples to work miracles in Jesus' name. In that sending they preached repentance, cast out demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them, while depending on the households where they stayed for food and rest. Their miracle-working may explain why Herod at that time heard reports of miracles connected with Christ. Healing was thus joined with preaching, so medical missionary work joined with gospel ministry opens doors for the truth.

Anointing with oil and praying for the sick with resulting healing was practiced in Stockholm, where several hundred people claimed to have been healed. That healing activity formed part of a superficial religious stir. The stir was mixed with disregard for God's law and prejudice against sound Bible doctrine.
