'Jesus' Team Ministry.'
Mark 6:7.
a) Jesus called the twelve Disciples together - He did not send them away alone.
b) Jesus began to send them out two by two. (It means that He organised the Ministry - they were not doing "their own thing" they were going out sent by Jesus)
c) Jesus gave them Power and Authority over evil spirits.

Chris.
It is not good for us to be pointing our finger and baselessly accusing them. One of the names of Satan is the Accuser. There are times, and the Bible affirms this, that people need to be tried of crimes that they may be justly accused of, that is totally different. This is about baseless accusations.
