Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 9
¹ Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
² He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
³ And He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.
⁴ Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.
⁵ And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them."
⁶ So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
⁸ and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
⁹ Herod said, "John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?" So he sought to see Him.
¹⁰ And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
¹¹ But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
