othing for the way, save a staff
only; no bread, no bag, no money, in their girdle; (9)but that they be
shod with sandals and, Put not on two coats. (10)And he said to them:
Wherever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart from
thence. (11)And whatever place shall not receive you, nor hear you,
when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a
testimony to them[6:11].

(12)And they went out, and preached that men should repent. (13)And
they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick,
and healed them.

(14)And the king, Herod, heard of it, for his name was spread abroad;
and he said: John the Immerser is risen from the dead, and therefore
do these powers work in him. (15)Others said: It is Elijah. And others
