Mark 6:10–18

¹⁰He said to them,“Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.↗

¹¹Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”↗

¹²They went out and preached that people should repent.↗

¹³They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them.↗

¹⁴King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”↗

¹⁵But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”↗

¹⁶But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”↗

¹⁷For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.↗

¹⁸For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”↗
