Luke 9:1–9
1He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.↗
2He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.↗
3He said to them,“Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.↗
4Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.↗
5As 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.”↗
6They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.↗
7Now 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,↗
8and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.↗
9Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.↗
