9:2	And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.
9:3	And he said to them: “You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics.
9:4	And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.
9:5	And whoever will not have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as a testimony against them.”
9:6	And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.
9:7	Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said
9:8	by some, “For John has risen from the dead,” yet truly, by others, “For Elijah has appeared,” and by still others, “For one of the prophets from of old has risen again.”
9:9	And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.
9:10	And when the Apostles returned, they explained to him all the things that they had done. And taking them with him, he withdrew to a deserted place apart, which belongs to Bethsaida.
