1
And having called together the Shneym Asar, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach gave to them koach (power) and samchut (authority) over all the shedim and to give refuah (healing) to their illnesses.
2
Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach sent them out as his Shlichim to preach the Malchut Hashem and to give refuah to the cholim,
3
And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick nor a schnorrer’s (beggar’s) sack nor lechem nor kesef, nor an extra kaftan.
4
And into whatever bais you may enter, remain there, and from there go out.
5
And as many as do not receive you, going out from that shtetl, shake off the dust from your feet for an edut against them.
6
And they departed and were itinerating throughout the shtetlach, preaching the Besuras HaGeulah and healing everywhere.
7
Now Herod the Tetrarch heard all the things happening and he was perplexed because it was said by some that Yochanan had experienced his Techiyah from HaMesim and come back;
8
by some also that Eliyahu Hanavi had appeared; but by others that some navi of the ancients arose.
9
But Herod said, Yochanan I beheaded. Who then is this about whom I hear such things? And he was seeking to see him.

And having returned, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach’s Shlichim told him what things they did. And having taken them for a yechidus, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach withdrew to a shtetl being called Beit-Tzaidah.
