bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece. (4)And into whatever
house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart. (5)And whoever will
not receive you, when ye go out from that city, shake off even the
dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

(6)And going forth, they went through the villages, publishing the
good news, and healing everywhere.

(7)And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done. And
he was perplexed, because it was said by some: John has risen from the
dead; (8)and by some: Elijah has appeared; and by others: One of the
old prophets has risen again. (9)And Herod said: John I beheaded; but
who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

(10)And the apostles, returning, related to him all that they did. And
taking them with him, he retired privately to a city called Bethsaida.
(11)And the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him. And receiving

that I am? (19)They answering said: John the Immerser; and others,
Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.
(20)And he said to them: But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering
said: The Christ of God. (21)And strictly charging them, he commanded
