Jesus called the twelve apostles together and gave them power and authority over all demons and the ability to heal sicknesses.

He sent the apostles out to tell about God's kingdom and to heal the sick.

He said to them, "Take nothing for your trip, neither a walking stick, bag, bread, money, or extra clothes.
4
When you enter a house, stay there until it is time to leave.
5
If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off of your feetn as you leave the town, as a warning to them."
6
So the apostles went out and traveled through all the towns, preaching the Good News and healing people everywhere.

Herod, the governor, heard about all the things that were happening and was confused, because some people said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead."
