3 He told them, “Don't take anything with you! Don't take a walking stick or a travelling bag or food or money or even a change of clothes.
4 When you are welcomed into a home, stay there until you leave that town.
5 If people won't welcome you, leave the town and shake the dust from your feet as a warning to them.”
6 The apostles left and went from village to village, telling the good news and healing people everywhere.
7 Herod the ruler heard about all that was happening, and he was worried. Some people were saying that John the Baptist had come back to life.
8 Others were saying that Elijah had come or that one of the prophets from long ago had come back to life.
9 But Herod said, “I had John's head cut off! Who is this I hear so much about?” Herod was eager to meet Jesus.
