1. Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
2. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.
3. And he said to them: "You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics.
4. And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.
5. And whoever will not have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as a testimony against them."
6. And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.
7. Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said
8. by some, "For John has risen from the dead," yet truly, by others, "For Elijah has appeared," and by still others, "For one of the prophets from of old has risen again."
9. And Herod said: "I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?" And he sought to see him.
10. And when the Apostles returned, they explained to him all the things that they had done. And taking them with him, he withdrew to a deserted place apart, which belongs to Bethsaida.
