Luke 9:1-9 ▼

1 And calling the twelve, He gave to them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases.

2 And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

3 And He said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor valise, nor bread, nor silver; nor to have two coats.

4 And into whatsoever house you may eaten there abide, and go out from thence.

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

6 And going out, they continued to go through the villages, everywhere preaching the gospel, and healing.

7 And Herod the tetrarch heard all things which were wrought by Him; and was at a loss, because it was said by some, that John is risen from the dead;

8 and by some that Elijah has appeared; and by others that one of the old prophets is arisen.

9 And Herod said, I beheaded John: but who is this, concerning whom I hear these things? And he was seeking to see Him.
