Luke 9:5 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 9.

1 Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.

2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

3 “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.

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.”

6 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.

9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
