3 He said to them, “When you travel, don’t take a walking stick. Also, don’t carry a bag, or food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing.
4 When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave.
5 If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake the dust off of your feet. This will be a warning to them.”
6 So the apostles went out. They traveled through all the towns. They told the Good News and healed people everywhere.
7 Herod, the governor, heard about all these things that were happening. He was confused because some people said, “John the Baptist is risen from death.”
8 Others said, “Elijah has come to us.” And still others said, “One of the prophets from long ago has risen from death.”
9 Herod said, “I cut off John’s head. So who is this man I hear these things about?” And Herod kept trying to see Jesus.
