Contextual Overview
7 Then he called his twelve, and began to send them two by two; and he gave them power over the unclean spirits, to cast them out. 8 And he commanded them not to take anything for the journey, except a staff only; no bag, no bread, no copper money in their purses; 9 But to wear sandals, and not to wear two shirts. 10 And he said to them, Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that place. 11 And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when you leave that place, shake off the sand under your feet as a testimony to them. Truly I say to you, It will be easier for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. 12 And they went out and preached that they should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and they were healed.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
take: Matthew 10:9, Matthew 10:10, Luke 10:4, Luke 22:35
save: Matthew says that they were to take "neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves;" but this precept plainly means, "Go just as you are; take no other coat, shoes, or staff than what you already have."
money: "The word signifieth a piece of brass money in value something less than a farthing. Matthew 10:9, but here it is taken in general for money." Luke 9:3

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And commanded them that they should take nothing for [their] journey,.... To accommodate them in it, except those things after directed to:
save a staff only; a single one, for staves in the plural number are forbidden, :-;
no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse. Travellers used to put their bread, or any other sort of food into their scrips, and their money in their girdles; but the disciples were not allowed to carry either, because provision was to be made for them wherever they came at free cost, it being what their labour was worthy of;

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See these verses fully explained in the notes at Matthew 10:9-15. In Matthew 10:5 they were commanded not to go among the Gentiles or Samaritans. Mark omits that direction, perhaps, because he was writing for the âGentiles,â and the direction might create unnecessary difficulty or offence. Perhaps he omits it also because the command was given for a temporary purpose, and was not in force at the time of his writing.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 6:8. A staff only — It is likely he desired them to take only one with every two, merely for the purpose of carrying any part of their clothes on, when they should be obliged to strip them off by reason of the heat; for walking staves, or things of this kind, were forbidden, see Matthew 10:10. But, probably, no more is designed than simply to state that they must not wait to make any provision for the journey, but go off just as they were, leaving the provision necessary in the present case to the care of Divine Providence. St. James is represented in ancient paintings, as carrying a gourd bottle on a STAFF across his shoulder.
