Luke 9:1-9 ▼

1 THEN calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure 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 staffs, nor satchel, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats each.

4 And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence go out.

5 And whosoever shall not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.

6 And they went forth, and passed through the villages, preaching the gospel, and performing cures everywhere.

7 Then Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in much distraction of mind, because it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead:

8 and of some that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.

9 And Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
