8. And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purse:
9. But to wear sandals; and not put on two coats.
10. And he said unto them,
11. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when you depart from there, 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 Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
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 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 show forth themselves in him.
15. Others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16. But when Herod heard of it, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
