Luke 9

1And he calledG4779 the twelveG1427 togetherG4779, and gaveG1325 them powerG1411 and authorityG1849 over all demonsG1140, and to cure diseasesG3554. 2And he sentG649 them forthG649 to preachG2784 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, and to healG2390 the sickG772. 3And he saidG3004 unto them, TakeG142 nothingG3367 for your journeyG3598, neither staffG4464, nor wallet, nor breadG740, nor moneyG694; neither have twoG1417 coats. 4And into whatsoever houseG3614 ye enterG1525, there abideG3306, and thence departG1831. 5And as manyG3745 as receiveG1209 you not, when ye departG1831 from that cityG4172, shake off the dustG2868 from your feetG4228 for a testimonyG3142 against them. 6And they departedG1831, and wentG1831 throughout the villagesG2968, preaching the gospel, and healingG2323 everywhereG3837.

7NowG1161 HerodG2264 the tetrarch heardG191 of all that was done: and he was much perplexedG1280, because that it was saidG3004 by some, that JohnG2491 was risenG1453 from the deadG3498; 8and by some, that ElijahG2243 had appearedG5316; and by othersG243, that oneG5100 of the oldG744 prophetsG4396 was risenG450 againG450. 9And HerodG2264 saidG3004, JohnG2491 I beheadedG607: but who isG1510 this, about whom I hearG191 suchG5108 thingsG3778? And he soughtG2212 to seeG3708 him.

10And the apostlesG652, when they were returnedG5290, declared unto him what things they had done. And he tookG3880 them, and withdrew apart to a cityG4172 calledG2564 BethsaidaG966. 11But the multitudesG3793 perceiving it followedG190 him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, and them that had needG5532 of healingG2390 he cured. 12And the dayG2250 beganG757 to wear awayG630; and the twelveG1427 cameG4334, and saidG3004 unto him, SendG630 the multitudeG3793 awayG630, that they may goG4198 into the villagesG2968 and countryG68 round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we areG1510 hereG5602 in a desert placeG5117. 13But he saidG3004 unto them, GiveG1325 ye them to eatG2068. And they saidG3004, We have no moreG4183 than fiveG4002 loavesG740 and twoG1417 fishes; except we should goG4198 and buyG59 foodG1033 for all this peopleG2992. 14For they wereG1510 about fiveG4000 thousandG4000 menG435. And he saidG3004 unto his disciplesG3101, Make them sit down in companies, about fiftyG4004 each. 15And they did so, and madeG4160 them all sit down. 16And he tookG2983 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 and the twoG1417 fishes, and lookingG308 up to heavenG3772, he blessedG2127 them, and brake; and gaveG1325 to the disciplesG3101 to setG3908 before the multitudeG3793. 17And they ateG2068, and were all filledG5526: and there was takenG142 up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelveG1427 baskets.

18And it cameG1096 to passG1096, as he wasG1510 prayingG4336 apart, the disciplesG3101 wereG1510 with him: and he askedG1905 them, sayingG3004, Who do the multitudesG3793 sayG3004 that I amG1510? 19And they answeringG611 saidG3004, JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; but othersG243 sayG3004, ElijahG2243; and othersG243, that oneG5100 of the oldG744 prophetsG4396 is risenG450 againG450. 20And he saidG3004 unto them, But who sayG3004 ye that I amG1510? And PeterG4074 answeringG611 saidG3004, The ChristG5547 of GodG2316. 21But he charged them, and commandedG3853 them to tellG3004 this to no manG3778; 22sayingG3004, The SonG5207 of manG444 must sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183, and be rejectedG593 of the eldersG4245 and chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122, and be killedG615, and the thirdG5154 dayG2250 be raisedG1453 up. 23And he saidG3004 unto all, If any man would comeG2064 after me, let him denyG720 himself, and takeG142 up his crossG4716 daily, and followG190 me. 24For whosoever would saveG4982 his lifeG5590 shall loseG622 it; but whosoever shall loseG622 his lifeG5590 for my sakeG1752, the sameG846 shall saveG4982 it. 25For what is a manG444 profitedG5623, if he gainG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, and loseG622 or forfeit his ownG1438 self? 26For whosoever shall be ashamedG1870 of me and of my wordsG3056, of him shall the SonG5207 of manG444 be ashamedG1870, whenG3752 he cometh in his own gloryG1391, and the gloryG1391 of the FatherG3962, and of the holyG40 angelsG32. 27But I tellG3004 you of a truth, There areG1510 some of them that standG2476 here, who shall in no wise tasteG1089 of deathG2288, till they seeG3708 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.

28And it cameG1096 to passG1096 about eightG3638 daysG2250 after these sayingsG3056, that he tookG3880 with him PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 and JamesG2385, and wentG305 up into the mountainG3735 to prayG4336. 29And as he was prayingG4336, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment becameG1096 whiteG3022 and dazzling. 30And beholdG2400, there talked with him twoG1417 menG435, who wereG1510 MosesG3475 and ElijahG2243; 31who appeared in gloryG1391, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at JerusalemG2419. 32NowG1161 PeterG4074 and they that wereG1510 with him wereG1510 heavy with sleepG5258: but when they wereG1510 fully awake, they sawG3708 his gloryG1391, and the twoG1417 menG435 that stood with him. 33And it cameG1096 to passG1096, as they wereG1510 parting from him, PeterG4074 saidG3004 unto JesusG2424, MasterG1988, it isG1510 goodG2570 for us to beG1510 hereG5602: and let us makeG4160 threeG5140 tabernaclesG4633; oneG1520 for thee, and oneG1520 for MosesG3475, and oneG1520 for ElijahG2243: not knowing what he saidG3004. 34And while he saidG3004 these thingsG3778, there cameG1096 a cloudG3507, and overshadowedG1982 them: and they fearedG5399 as they enteredG1525 into the cloudG3507. 35And a voiceG5456 cameG1096 out of the cloudG3507, sayingG3004, This isG1510 my SonG5207, my chosen: hearG191 ye him. 36And when the voiceG5456 cameG1096, JesusG2424 was foundG2147 aloneG3441. And they held their peace, and toldG518 no man in those daysG2250 any of the thingsG3739 which they had seenG3708.

37And it cameG1096 to passG1096, on the nextG1836 dayG2250, when they were comeG1096 down from the mountainG3735, a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 met him. 38And beholdG2400, a manG435 from the multitudeG3793 criedG994, sayingG3004, TeacherG1320, I beseech thee to look upon my sonG5207; for he isG1510 mineG1473 onlyG3439 child: 39and beholdG2400, a spiritG4151 taketh him, and he suddenlyG1810 crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely. 40And I besought thy disciplesG3101 to castG1544 it out; and they could not. 41And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, O faithless and perverse generationG1074, how long shall I beG1510 with you, and bearG430 with you? bringG4317 hither thy sonG5207. 42And as he was yet a comingG4334, the demonG1140 dashed him downG4486, and tare him grievously. But JesusG2424 rebukedG2008 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151, and healedG2390 the boyG3816, and gaveG591 him backG591 to his fatherG3962. 43And they were all astonishedG1605 at the majestyG3168 of GodG2316.

But while all were marvelling at all the thingsG3956 which he did, he saidG3004 unto his disciplesG3101, 44Let these wordsG3056 sink into your earsG3775: for the SonG5207 of manG444 shall be deliveredG3860 up into the handsG5495 of menG444. 45But they understood not this saying, and it wasG1510 concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they wereG1510 afraidG5399 to askG2065 him about this saying.

46And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them wasG1510 the greatestG3173. 47But when JesusG2424 sawG3708 the reasoning of their heartG2588, he took a little childG3813, and setG2476 him by his side, 48and saidG3004 unto them, Whosoever shall receiveG1209 this littleG3398 childG3813 in my nameG3686 receiveth me: and whosoever shall receiveG1209 me receiveth him that sentG649 me: for he that isG1510 leastG3398 among you all, the sameG846 isG1510 greatG3173.

49And JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, MasterG1988, we sawG3708 oneG5100 casting out demonsG1140 in thy nameG3686; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. 50But JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto him, ForbidG2967 him not: for he that isG1510 not against you isG1510 for you.

51And it cameG1096 to passG1096, when the daysG2250 were well-nigh comeG1096 that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his faceG4383 to goG4198 to JerusalemG2419, 52and sentG649 messengersG32 before his faceG4383: and they wentG4198, and enteredG1525 into a villageG2968 of the SamaritansG4541, to makeG2090 readyG2090 for him. 53And they did not receiveG1209 him, because his faceG4383 wasG1510 as though he wereG1510 goingG4198 to JerusalemG2419. 54And when his disciplesG3101 JamesG2385 and JohnG2491 sawG3708 this, they saidG3004, LordG2962, wilt thou that we bid fireG4442 to comeG2597 down from heavenG3772, and consume them? 55But he turnedG4762, and rebukedG2008 them. 56And they wentG4198 to another villageG2968.

57And as they wentG565 on the wayG3598, a certainG5100 man saidG3004 unto him, I will followG190 thee whithersoever thou goest. 58And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto him, The foxesG258 have holes, and the birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772 have nestsG2682; but the SonG5207 of manG444 hath not whereG4226 to lay his headG2776. 59And he saidG3004 unto another, FollowG190 me. But he saidG3004, LordG2962, suffer me firstG4413 to goG565 and buryG2290 my fatherG3962. 60But he saidG3004 unto him, LeaveG863 the deadG3498 to buryG2290 their ownG1438 deadG3498; but goG565 thou and publish abroad the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 61And another alsoG2532 saidG3004, I will followG190 thee, LordG2962; but firstG4413 suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my houseG3624. 62But JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto him, No man, having putG1911 his handG5495 to the plow, and lookingG991 backG3694, isG1510 fit for the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
