"Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits." (Mark 6:1)
Reflection: The authority of Jesus appears to us as community. Family, church, and social fabric. The number twelve represents a community of leadership and the unity of the disicples. The numbers "two by two" symbolize our need for each other. No one follows Jesus alone, and no one is saved alone.
Expelling unclean spirits is a community effort.
