8. He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,
9. but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
10. He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
11. Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
12. They went out and preached that people should repent.
13. They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.
14. King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “Yochanan the Immerser has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”
15. But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”
16. But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is Yochanan, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”
17. For Herod himself had sent out and arrested Yochanan, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.
18. For Yochanan said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19. Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,
20. for Herod feared Yochanan, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.
21. Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.
22. When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
