Luke 9:1-9 ▼

1 And having called together the Twelve, He gave to them power and authority over all the demons, and to heal diseases,

2 and He sent them forth to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

3 And He said to them, “Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor two tunics apiece to have.

4 And into whatever house you? may enter, remain there and go out from there.

5 And as many as may not receive you?, going out from that city, shake off the dust from your? feet for a testimony against them.”

6 And going out, they were passing through the villages, proclaiming the gospel and healing everywhere.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things happening, and he was perplexed because it was said by some that John was risen out from the dead,

8 and by some that Elijah appeared, and by others that a prophet of the ancients was risen.

9 And Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he was seeking to see Him.
