Context of Luke 9:5

3He said to them, ‘Do not take anything for your journey. Do not take a stick, or a bag, or food. Do not take any money. Do not take extra clothes. 4In each town, continue to stay at the first house that you go into. Stay there until you leave that town. In some towns, the people will not accept you. You should leave that place. Clean that town's dirt from your feet. Then it will be clear that they have done something wrong.’ 6Then the apostles started out. They went to visit all the villages. In every place they told people the good news about Jesus and they made sick people well. 7People told the ruler, Herod, about all the things that were happening. His mind was confused because people were saying lots of different things about Jesus. Some people were saying, ‘John the Baptist died but now he has become alive again.’
