Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases,
2
and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
6
So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
7
Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead,
8
others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.
9
But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.
