Rh ND going out from thence, he went into his countrie; and his Disciples folowed him. And when the Sabboth was come, he began to teach in the Synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this felow by al these things? & what wisedom is this that is given to him, and such vertues as are wrought by his hands? Is not this ″ the Carpenter, the Sonne of, the brother of James and Joseph and Jude and Simon? why, are not also his sisters here with us? And they ″ were scandalized in him. And said to them: That there is not a Prophet without honour, but in his owne countrie, and in his owne house, and in his owne kinred. And ″ he could not doe any miracle there, but only cured a few that were sick, imposing his hands. And he marveled because of their incredulity, and he went about the townes in circuit teaching.

* And he called the Twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over uncleane Spirits. And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a rod only: not skrip, not bread, nor money in their purse, but shod with sandals, and that they should not put on ″ two coats. And he said to them: Whithersoever you shal enter into an house, there tarie til you depart thence. And whosoever shal not receave you, nor heare you; going forth from thence shake of the dust from your feet for a testimonie to them. And going forth they preached that they should doe penance: And they cast-out many Divels, and * anointed ″ with oile many sick, and healed them.

And * King Herod heard (for his name was made manifest) and he said: That John the Baptist is risen againe from the dead, and therfore vertues worke in him. And others said: That it is Elias. But others said: That it is a Prophet, as one of the Prophets. Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen againe from the dead.

For the said Herod sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for Herodias the wife of Philippe his brother, because he had maried her. For John said to Herod: * It is not lawful for thee to have thy brothers wife, And Herodias lay in waite for him: and was desirous to kil him, and could not. For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and he kept him, and by hearing him did many things: and he heard him gladly. And when a convenient day was fallen, Herod made the supper of his birth-day to the Princes, and the Tribunes, and the cheefe of Galilee. And when the daughter of the same Herodias came in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that sate with him at the table, the King said to the damsel: Aske of me what you wilt, and I wil give it thee. And he sware to her: That whatsoever thou shalt aske I wil give thee, though the halfe of my Kingdom. Who when she was gone forth, said to her mother, what shal I aske? But she said: The head of John the Baptist. And when she was gone in by and by with hast to the King, she asketh saying: I wil that forthwith thou give me in a platter the head of John the Baptist. Rh
