耶稣叫了十二个门徒来,差遣他们两个两个的出去。也赐给他们权柄,制伏污鬼。And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
并且嘱咐他们,行路的时候,不要带食物和口袋,腰袋里也不要带钱,除了拐杖以外,什么都不要带。And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
何处的人,不接待你们,不听你们,你们离开那里的时候,就把脚上的尘土跺下去,对他们作见证。And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
耶稣的名声传扬出来。希律王听见了,就说,施洗的约翰从死里复活了,所以这些异能由他里面发出来。And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
