Witness and missionSickness and healing

4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.

5 If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”

So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.

7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.
