1 Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm. 3 And he said to them: “You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics. 4 And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there. 5 And whoever will not have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as a testimony against them.” 6 And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere. 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said 8 by some, “For John has risen from the dead,” yet truly, by others, “For Elijah has appeared,” and by still others, “For one of the prophets from of old has risen again.” 9 And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him. Luke 9:1-9, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
