7. Yeshua summoned the Twelve, and He began to send them out two by two. And He gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8. He directed them to take nothing for the journey except a walking stick—no bread, no bag, no copper coin in their belt—
9. but to wear sandals and not to put on two shirts.
10. He was also telling them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place.
11. And whatever place will not receive you or listen to you, as you leave from there, shake the dust off the bottom of your feet as a witness against them.”
12. So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent,
13. and they were driving out many demons and anointing with oil many who were sick and healing them.
14. King Herod heard, for Yeshua’s name had become known. Some were saying, “John the Immerser has risen from the dead! Because of this, these powers are at work in Him!”
15. But others were saying, “It’s Elijah!” Still others were saying, “It’s a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
16. But when Herod heard, he said, “John, the one I beheaded, has been raised!”
17. For Herod himself sent and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.
18. For John had been telling Herod, “It is not permitted for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19. Now Herodias had a grudge against John and wanted to kill him, but she wasn’t able.
