Luke 9:6- I don't know if "spreading the Truth" is a very good translation here.  Wouldn't a better translation of the Greek ευαγγελιζομενοι (euangelizomenoi) be "proclaiming the good news"? Or the more traditional "preaching the gospel"?  I think it may be a bad idea to downplay the term "gospel" too much. After all, most conservatives should be pretty familiar with the term "gospel."

Also, in Luke 9:7, I tend to think that simply identifying Herod the tetrarch as Herod Antipas would be preferable to calling him "Herod the Roman puppet ruler."  No doubt, Herod was a puppet of Rome, but it seems overly interpretive to call him a puppet ruler.  "Tetrarch" simply was a term to indicate the region that Herod Antipas controlled.--[[User:Caspianrex|Cory Howell]] 15:48, 21 October 2009 (EDT)Cory Howell

One more quick thing, looking back at Luke 9:3, rather than resorting to such terse paraphrase, what about the following: "And he said to them, Take nothing on your travels--not walking sticks, wallets, bread, or money--not even two coats!"--[[User:Caspianrex|Cory Howell]] 15:53, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
