006:008 He charged them to take nothing for the journey except a stick;
no bread, no bag, and not a penny in their pockets,
006:009 but to go wearing sandals. "And do not," He said, "put on
an extra under garment.
006:010 Wherever you enter a house, make it your home till you
leave that place.
006:011 But wherever they will not receive you or listen to you,
when you leave shake off the very dust from under your feet
to bear witness concerning them."
006:012 So they set out, and preached in order that men might repent.
006:013 Many demons they expelled, and many invalids they anointed
with oil and cured.
006:014 King Herod heard of all this (for the name of Jesus had become
widely known), and he kept saying, "John the Baptizer has
come back to life, and that is why these miraculous Powers
are working in him."
006:015 Others asserted that He was Elijah. Others again said,
"He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets."
006:016 But when Herod heard of Him, he said, "The John, whom I beheaded,
has come back to life."
006:017 For Herod himself had sent and had had John arrested and had
kept him in prison in chains, for the sake of Herodias,
his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.
006:018 For John had repeatedly told Herod, "You have no right to be
living with your brother's wife."
006:019 Therefore Herodias hated him and wished to take his life,
but could not;
006:020 for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing him to be an upright
and holy man, and he protected him. After listening to him he was
in great perplexity, and yet he found a pleasure in listening.
