1 And He called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases: 2 and He sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 3 And He said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor two coats a piece. 4 And into whatever house ye enter, continue there, till ye leave that place. 5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye depart from that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them. 6 And they went from town to town, preaching the gospel and healing every where. 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done by Him; and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead; 8 and by some that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again. 9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? and he wanted to see Him. 10 And the apostles; when they were returned, told Him all that they had done: and He took them and retired privately into a desert place belonging to the city Bethsaida. 11 But when the people knew it they followed Him; and He received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those that had need of a cure. 12 And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the people, that they may go into the villages and country-places round about, and bait, and get food: for here we are in a desert place. 13 But He said unto them, Do ye give them food. And they said, We have but five loaves and two fishes: unless we should go and buy provisions for all this people: Luke 9:1-13, Worsley New Testament. Public domain.
