Luke:9:1-9

*
He called the twelve {
TR reads "
his twelve disciples "
instead of "
the twelve "}
together ,
and gave them power and authority over all demons ,
and to cure diseases .
*
He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God ,
and to heal the sick .
*
He said to them , "
Take nothing for your journey--neither staffs ,
nor wallet ,
nor bread ,
nor money ;
neither have two coats apiece .
*
Into whatever house you enter ,
stay there ,
and depart from there .
*
As many as don '
t receive you ,
when you depart from that city ,
shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them ."
*
They departed ,
and went throughout the villages ,
preaching the Good News ,
and healing everywhere .
*
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him ;
and he was very perplexed ,
because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead ,
*
and by some that Elijah had appeared ,
and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again .
*
Herod said , "
John I beheaded ,
but who is this ,
about whom I hear such things ?"
He sought to see him .
