10
Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place;
11
and if the people of some place will not welcome you, and they refuse to hear you, then, as you leave, shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them."
12
So they set out and preached that people should turn from sin to God,
13
they expelled many demons, and they anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
14
Meanwhile, King Herod heard about this, for Yeshua's reputation had spread. Some were saying, "Yochanan the Immerser has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him."
15
Others said, "It is Eliyahu!" and still others, "He is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."
16
But when Herod heard about it, he said, "Yochanan, whom I had beheaded, has been raised."
17
For Herod had sent and had Yochanan arrested and chained in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. Herod had married her,
18
but Yochanan had told him, "It violates the Torah for you to marry your brother's wife."
19
So Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted him put to death. But this she could not accomplish,
20
because Herod stood in awe of Yochanan and protected him, for he knew that he was a tzaddik, a holy man. Whenever he heard him, he became deeply disturbed; yet he liked to listen to him.
