A.  The 12 go out –  a.1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

b. 3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

b’. 4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. 5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

a’. 6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

B. 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him:  and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; 8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

B’. 9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

A’. The 12 return – 10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him:  and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
