od with sandals; and
not put on two coats. And he said unto them:

"In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye
depart from that place. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear
you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a
testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more
tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that
city."

And they went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast
out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed
them.

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad;) and he
said:

"That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty
works do shew forth themselves in him." Others said: "That it is
Elias." And others said:

"That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets." But when Herod
heard thereof, he said: "It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from

whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee." And he sware unto her,
"Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of
my kingdom." And she went forth, and said unto her mother, "What shall
I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist." And she came in
straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, "I will that
thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist." And
the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their
sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. And immediately the
king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he
went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a charger,
and gave it to
