Luke 9

2 He sendeth out the twelve Apostles to preach 7 Herod heareth tell of him. 12 He feedeth five thousand men with five loaves, and two fishes 19 Diverse opinions of Christ. 28 He transfigureth him self upon the mount. 42 He delivereth the possessed, 47 And teacheth his disciples to be lowlie. 54 They desire vengeance, but he reproveth them.
1.Then *called he the twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to heal diseases.
2.*And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to cure the sick.
3.And he said to them, aTake nothing to your journey, neither ^staves, nor scrip, neither bread, nor silver, neither have two coats.
4.And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and bthence depart.
5.And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, *shake off the very cdust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6.And they went out, and went through every town preaching the Gospel, and healing every where.
7.*Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he doubted, because that it was said of some, that John was risen again from the dead:
8.And of some, that Elias had appeared: and of some, that one of the old Prophets was risen again.
9.Then Herod said, John have I beheaded: who then is this of whom I hear such things? and he desired to see him.
10.*And when the Apostles returned, they told him what great things they had done. *Then he took them, and went aside into a solitarie place, near to the city called Bethsaida.
11.But when the people knewe it, they followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need to be healed.
12.*And when the day began to wear away, the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the people away, that they may go into the towns and villages round about, and lodge, and get meat: for we are here in a desert place.
13.But he said unto them, dGive ye them to eat. And they said, We have no mo but five loaves and two fishes, except we should go and bye meat for all this people.
14.For they were about five thousand men. Then he said to his disciples, Cause them to sit down by fifties in a company.
15.And they did so, and caused all to sit down.
16.Then he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and eblessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples, to set before the people.
17.So they did all eat, and were satisfied: and there was taken up of that remained to them, twelve baskets full of broken meat.
18.*And it came to pass as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him, and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19.They answered, and said, John Baptist: and others say, Elias: and some say, that one of the old Prophets is risen again.
20.And he said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered, and said, The Christ of God.
21.And he warned, and commanded them, that they should tell fthat to no man,
22.Saying, *The Son of man must suffer many things, and be reproved of the Elders, and of the high Priests and Scribes, and be slain, and the third day rise again.
23.*And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny him self, and take up his cross gdaily, and follow me.
24.For whosoever will save his life, shall loose it: and whosoever shall loose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25.For what avantageth it a man, if he win the whole world, and destroy him self, or loose him self?
26.*For whosoever shalbe ashamed of me, and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his glory, and in the glory of the Father, and of the holie Angels.
27.*And I tell you of a surety, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the hkingdom of God.
28.*And it came to pass about an eight days after those words, that he took Peter, and John, and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29.And as he prayed, the facion of his countenance was changed, and his garment was white and glistered.
30.And behold, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elias,
31.Which appeared in glory, and told of his ideparting, which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32.But Peter and they that were with him, were heavy with sleep, and when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.
33.And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: let us therefore make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias, and wist not what he said.
34.While he thus spake, there came a cloud and kovershadowed them, and they feared when these were entering into the cloud.
35.*And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, hear him.
36.And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone: and they kept it close, and told no man in lthose days any of those things which they had seen.
37.¶ And it came to pass on the next day, as they came down from the mountain, much people met him.
38.*And behold, a man of the company cryed out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, behold my son: for he is all that I have.
39.And lo, a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he cryeth, and he teareth him, that he fometh, and with much pain departeth from him, when he hath bruised him.
40.Now I have besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not.
41.Then Jesus answered, and said, mO generation faithless, and crooked, how long now shall I be with you, and suffer you! bring thy son hither.
42.And whiles he was yet coming, the devil rent him, and tare him: and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.
43.¶ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God: and while they all wondered at all things, which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44.^Mark these words diligently: for it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shalbe delivered into the hands of men.
45.But they nunderstood not that word: for it was hid from them, so that they could not perceive it: and they feared to ask him of that word.
46.*Then there arose a disputation among them, which of them should be the greatest.
47.When Jesus saw the thoughts of their hearts, he took a little child, and set him by him,
48.And said unto them, Whosoever receiveth this little child in my Name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, he shalbe great.
49.*And John answered, and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy Name, and we forbade him, because he followeth thee not with us.
50.Then Jesus said unto him, Forbid ye him not: for he that is not against us, ois with us.
51.¶ And it came to pass, when the pdays were accomplished, that he should be received up, he settled him self fully to go to Jerusalem,
52.And sent messengers before him: and they went and entered into a town of the Samaritans, to prepare him lodging.
53.But they would not receive him, because his qbehaviour was, as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54.And when his disciples, James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command, that fire come down from heaven, and consume them, even as *Elias did?
55.But Jesus turned about, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not of what rspirit ye are.
56.For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. Then they went to another town.
57.*And it came to pass that as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee, Lord, whethersoever thou goest.
58.And Jesus said unto him, The sfoxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of man hath not whereon to laie his head.
59.But he said unto another, Follow me. And the same said, Lord, suffer me first to go and tbury my father.
60.And Jesus said unto him, uLet the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61.Then another said, I will follow thee, Lord: but let me first go bid them fare well, which are at mine house.
62.And Jesus said unto him, No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and xloketh back, is apt to the kingdom of God.
