10. And He told them, Wherever you go into a house, stay there until you leave that place.
11. And if any community will not receive and accept and welcome you, and they refuse to listen to you, when you depart, shake off the dust that is on your feet, for a testimony against them. Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the judgment day than for that town.
12. So they went out and preached that men should repent [that they should change their minds for the better and heartily amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins].
13. And they drove out many unclean spirits and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
14. King Herod heard of it, for [Jesus'] name had become well known. He and they [of his court] said, John the Baptist has been raised from the dead; that is why these mighty powers [of performing miracles] are at work in Him.
15. [But] others kept saying, It is Elijah! And others said, It is a prophet, like one of the prophets [of old].
16. But when Herod heard [of it], he said, [This very] John, whom I beheaded, has been raised [from the dead].
17. For [this] Herod himself had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he [Herod] had married her.
18. For John had told Herod, It is not lawful and you have no right to have your brother's wife.
19. And Herodias was angry (enraged) with him and held a grudge against him and wanted to kill him; but she could not,
20. For Herod had [a reverential] fear of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and [continually] kept him safe [under guard]. When he heard [John speak], he was much perplexed; and [yet] he heard him gladly.
21. But an opportune time came [for Herodias] when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and the high military commanders and chief men of Galilee.
22. For when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased and fascinated Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, Ask me for whatever you desire, and I will give it to you.
