Luke 9:3-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. He told them, "Take nothing for the journey—no walking stick, no bag, no bread, no money, not even an extra shirt.

4. Whatever house you enter, remain there until you leave that place.

5. Wherever they don’t welcome you, as you leave that city, shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them."

6. They departed and went through the villages proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.

7. Herod the ruler heard about everything that was happening. He was confused because some people were saying that John had been raised from the dead,

8. others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.

9. Herod said, "I beheaded John, so now who am I hearing about?" Herod wanted to see him.
