Luke 9:1–10

Then ^ahe called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. ²And ^bhe sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. ^3cAnd he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. ⁴And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. ⁵And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet ^dfor a testimony against them. ^6eAnd they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

^7fNow ^gHerod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he ^hwas perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; ⁸and of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. ⁹And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? ⁱAnd he desired to see him.

^10jAnd the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. ^kAnd he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called ^lBethsaida.
