Luke 9:1-17

11NowG1161 He calledG4779 the twelveG1427 togetherG4779 and gaveG1325 them powerG1411 and authorityG1849 overG1909 allG3956 the demonsG1140, and the power to healG2323 diseasesG3554. 2And He sentG649 them outG649 to 2proclaimG2784 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 and to performG2390 healingG2390. 3And He saidG3004 to them, “3TakeG142 nothingG3367 for your journeyG3598, 4neitherG3383 a staffG4464, norG3383 a 5bagG4082, norG3383 breadG740, norG3383 moneyG694; and do not even haveG2192 twoG1417 6tunicsG5509. 4And whateverG3739 houseG3614 you enterG1525, stayG3306 thereG1563 7untilG2532 you leaveG1831 that cityG1564. 5And as for allG3745 whoG3745 do not receiveG1209 you, when you leaveG1831 that cityG4172, 8shakeG660 the dustG2868 offG660 your feetG4228 as a testimonyG3142 againstG1909 them.” 6And as they were leavingG1831, they began goingG1330 9throughoutG1330 the villagesG2968, 10preachingG2097 the gospelG2097 and healingG2323 everywhereG3837.

711NowG1161 12HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5068 heardG191 about allG3956 that was happeningG1096; and he was greatlyG1280 perplexedG1280, becauseG1223 it was saidG3004 by someG5100 that 13JohnG2491 had risenG1453 from the deadG3498, 8and by someG5100 that 14ElijahG2243 had appearedG5316, and by othersG243 that oneG5100 of the prophetsG4396 of oldG744 had risenG450. 9HerodG2264 saidG3004, “I myselfG1473 had JohnG2491 beheadedG607; but whoG5101 is thisG3778 ManG3778 aboutG4012 whomG3739 I hearG191 suchG5108 thingsG5108?” And 15he kept tryingG2212 to seeG3708 Him.

1016When the apostlesG652 returnedG5290, they gaveG1334 anG1334 accountG1334 to Him of allG3745 thatG3745 they had doneG4160. 17And takingG3880 them with Him, He withdrewG5298 privatelyG2398 to a cityG4172 calledG2564 18BethsaidaG966. 11But the crowdsG3793 were awareG1097 of this and followedG190 Him; and He welcomedG588 them and began speakingG2980 to them aboutG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, and curingG2390 thoseG3588 who hadG2192 needG5532 of healingG2322.

12NowG1161 the dayG2250 19was endingG2827, and the twelveG1427 cameG4334 upG4334 and saidG3004 to Him, “DismissG630 the crowdG3793, soG2443 thatG2443 they may goG4198 into the surroundingG2945 villagesG2968 and countrysideG68 and findG2647 lodgingG2647 and getG2147 20somethingG1979 toG1979 eatG1979; becauseG3754 hereG5602, we are in a secludedG2048 placeG5117.” 13But He saidG3004 to them, “You giveG1325 them something to eatG2068!” But they saidG3004, “We have noG3756 moreG4183 thanG2228 fiveG4002 loavesG740 and twoG1417 fishG2486, unlessG1487G3385 perhapsG3385 we goG4198 and buyG59 foodG1033 for allG3956 theseG3778 peopleG2992.” 14(For there were aboutG5616 fiveG4000 thousandG4000 menG435.) But He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “Have them reclineG2625 to eat 21in groupsG2828 of aboutG5616 fiftyG4004 eachG303.” 15They didG4160 soG3779, and had them allG537 reclineG2625. 16And He tookG2983 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 and the twoG1417 fishG2486, and, lookingG308 upG308 to heavenG3772, He blessedG2127 them and brokeG2622 them, and gaveG1325 them to the disciplesG3101 again and again, to serveG3908 the crowdG3793. 17And they allG3956 ateG2068 and were satisfiedG5526; and 22the brokenG2801 piecesG2801 which they had leftG4052 overG4052 were pickedG142 upG142, twelveG1427 23basketsG2894 full.
