Luke 9
9Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.G1161G4779G846G1427G3101G4779G2532G1325G846G1411G1849G1909G3956G1140G2532G2323G35542Then he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.G2532G649G846G2784G932G2316G2532G2390G7703He told them, "Don't take anything along on your trip - no walking stick, traveling bag, bread, money, or even an extra shirt.G2532G2036G4314G846G142G3367G1519G3598G3383G4464G3383G4082G3383G740G3383G694G3383G2192G1417G5509G3034When you visit a home and stay there, and go out from there,G2532G3739G302G3614G1525G1519G1563G3306G2532G1564G18315if people don't welcome you, when you leave that city, shake its dust off your feet as a testimony against them."G2532G3745G302G1209G3361G1209G5209G1831G575G1565G4172G660G2532G2868G575G5216G4228G1519G3142G1909G8466So they left and went from village to village, spreading the good news and healing diseases everywhere.3G1161G1831G1330G2596G2968G2097G2532G2323G38377Now Herod the tetrarch heard about everything that was happening. He was puzzled because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,G1161G2264G5076G191G3956G1096G5259G846G2532G1280G1223G3004G5259G5100G3754G2491G1453G1537G34988by others that Elijah had appeared, and by still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.G1161G5259G5100G3754G2243G5316G1161G243G3754G1520G744G4396G4509Herod said, "I beheaded John. But who is this man I'm hearing so much about?" So Herod kept trying to see Jesus.G2532G2264G2036G2491G607G1473G607G1161G5101G2076G3778G4012G3739G1473G191G5108G2532G2212G1492G84610The apostles came back and told Jesus everything they had done. Then he took them away with him privately to a city called Bethsaida.G2532G652G5290G1334G846G3745G4160G2532G3880G846G5298G2596G2398G1519G2048G5117G4172G2564G96611But the crowds found out about this and followed him. He welcomed them and began to speak to them about the kingdom of God and to heal those who needed healing.G1161G3793G1097G190G846G2532G1209G846G2980G846G4012G932G2316G2532G2390G2192G5532G232212As the day was drawing to a close, the twelve disciples came to him and said, "Send the crowd away to the neighboring villages and farms so they can rest and get some food, because we are here in a deserted place."G1161G2250G756G2827G1161G4334G1427G2036G846G630G3793G630G2443G565G1519G2968G2532G68G2945G2647G2532G2147G1979G3754G2070G5602G1722G2048G511713But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They replied, "We have nothing more than five loaves of bread and two fish - unless we go and buy food for all these people."G1161G2036G4314G846G1325G5210G846G5315G1161G2036G2254G3756G1526G4119G2228G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G1509G2249G4198G59G1033G1519G3956G5126G299214Now there were about 5,000 men. So he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about50 ."G1063G2258G5616G4000G435G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G2625G846G2625G303G4004G282815They did this and got all of them seated.G2532G4160G3779G2532G347G537G34716Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves in pieces and kept giving them to the disciples to pass on to the crowd.G1161G2983G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G308G1519G3772G2127G846G2532G2622G2532G1325G3101G3908G379317All of them ate and were filled. When they collected the leftover pieces, there were twelve baskets.G2532G5315G2532G5526G3956G5526G2532G142G2801G4052G846G1427G289418One day while Jesus was praying privately and the disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?"G2532G1096G1722G1511G2651G4336G846G3101G4895G846G2532G1905G846G3004G5101G3004G3793G3165G151119They answered, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the ancient prophets who has come back to life."G1161G611G2036G2491G910G1161G243G2243G1161G243G3754G5100G744G4396G45020He asked them, "But who do you say I am?" "God's Messiah," Peter replied.G1161G2036G846G1161G5101G3004G5210G3165G1511G1161G4074G611G2036G5547G231621He gave them strict orders, commanding them not to tell this to anyone.G1161G2008G846G3853G2036G3367G512422He said, "The Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he must be killed, but on the third day he will be raised."G2036G3754G5207G444G1163G3958G4183G2532G593G575G4245G2532G749G2532G1122G2532G615G2532G1453G5154G225023Then he said to all of them, "If anyone wants to come with me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross every day, and follow me continually,G1161G3004G4314G3956G1536G2309G2064G3694G3450G533G1438G2532G142G846G4716G2250G2596G2532G190G342724because whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.G1063G3739G302G2309G4982G846G5590G622G846G1161G3739G302G622G846G5590G1700G1752G3778G4982G84625What profit will a person have if he gains the whole world, but destroys himself or is lost -G1063G5101G5623G444G5623G2770G3650G2889G1161G622G1438G2228G221026If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels.G1063G3739G302G1870G3165G2532G1699G3056G5126G1870G5207G444G1870G3752G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3962G2532G40G3227I tell you with certainty, some people who are standing here will not experience death until they see the kingdom of God."G1161G3004G5213G230G1526G5100G2476G5602G3739G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G231628Now about eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John, and James with him and went up on a mountain to pray.G1161G1096G5616G3638G2250G3326G5128G3056G2532G3880G4074G2532G2491G2532G2385G305G1519G3735G433629While he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes turned dazzling white.G2532G1722G846G4336G1491G846G4383G1096G2087G2532G846G2441G3022G182330Suddenly, two men were talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah.G2532G2400G4814G846G1417G435G3748G2258G3475G2532G224331They had a glorified appearance, and were discussing Jesus' departure that he would shortly bring about in Jerusalem.G3739G3700G1722G1391G3004G846G1841G3739G3195G4137G1722G241932Now Peter and the men with him had been overcome by sleep. When they woke up, they saw Jesus' glory and the two men standing with him.G1161G4074G2532G4862G846G2258G916G5258G1161G1235G1492G846G1391G2532G1417G435G4921G84633Just as Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters - one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (Peter didn't know what he was saying.)G2532G1096G1722G846G1316G575G846G4074G2036G4314G2424G1988G2076G2570G2248G1511G5602G2532G4160G5140G4633G3391G4671G2532G3391G3475G2532G3391G2243G3361G1492G3739G300434But while he was saying this, a cloud appeared and surrounded them, and they became terrified as they were being overshadowed by the cloud.G1161G846G5023G3004G1096G3507G2532G1982G846G1161G5399G1722G1565G1525G1519G350735Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Keep listening to him!"G2532G1096G5456G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G84636After the voice had spoken, Jesus was alone. The disciples kept silent and at that time told no one about what they had seen.G2532G5456G1722G1096G2424G2147G3441G2532G846G4601G2532G518G3762G1722G1565G2250G3762G3739G370837The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met Jesus.G1161G1096G1722G1836G2250G846G2718G575G3735G4183G3793G4876G84638Suddenly a man in the crowd shouted, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, because he is my only child.G2532G2400G435G575G3793G310G3004G1320G1189G4675G1914G1909G3450G5207G3754G2076G3427G343939Without warning a spirit takes control of him, and he suddenly screams, goes into convulsions, and foams at the mouth. The spirit mauls him and refuses to leave him.G2532G2400G4151G2983G846G2532G1810G2896G2532G4682G846G876G3326G2532G4937G846G3425G672G575G84640I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't."37G2532G1189G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G1410G375641Jesus answered, "You unbelieving and perverted generation! How much longer must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here!"G1161G2424G611G2036G5599G571G2532G1294G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2532G430G5216G4317G4675G5207G560242Even while the boy was coming, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.G1161G846G4334G2089G4334G1140G4486G846G4486G2532G4952G1161G2424G2008G169G4151G2532G2390G3816G2532G591G846G591G846G396243All the people continued to be amazed at the greatness of God. Indeed, everyone was astonished at all the things Jesus was doing. So he said to his disciples,G1161G1605G3956G1605G1909G3168G2316G1161G2296G3956G1909G3956G3739G2424G4160G2036G4314G846G310144"Listen carefully to these words. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands."G5128G3056G5087G1519G5210G5216G3775G1063G5207G444G3195G3860G1519G5495G44445But they didn't know what this meant. Indeed, the meaning was hidden from them so that they didn't understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this statement.G1161G50G5124G4487G2532G2258G3871G575G846G3363G143G846G3363G2532G5399G2065G846G4012G5127G448746Later, an argument started among the disciples as to which of them might be the greatest.G1161G1525G1261G1722G846G5101G302G846G1498G318747But Jesus, knowing their inner thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.G1161G2424G1492G1261G846G2588G1949G3813G2476G846G3844G143848Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me, because the one who is least among all of you is the one who is greatest."947G2532G2036G846G3739G1437G1209G5124G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G649G3165G1063G5225G3398G1722G5213G3956G3778G2071G317349John said, "Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he wasn't a follower like us."G1161G2491G611G2036G1988G1492G5100G1544G1140G1909G4675G3686G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G3326G225750Jesus said to him, "Don't stop him! Because whoever is not against you is for you."G2532G2424G2036G4314G846G2967G3361G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G225751When the days grew closer for Jesus to be taken up to heaven, he was determined to continue his journey to Jerusalem.G1161G1096G1722G2250G4845G846G354G2532G846G4741G846G4383G4198G1519G241952So he sent messengers on ahead of him. On their way they went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.G2532G649G32G4253G846G4383G2532G4198G1525G1519G2968G4541G5620G2090G84653But the people would not welcome him, because he was determined to go to Jerusalem.G2532G1209G3756G1209G846G3754G846G4383G2258G4198G1519G241954When his disciples James and John observed this rejection, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"G1161G846G3101G2385G2532G2491G1492G2036G2962G2309G2036G4442G2597G575G3772G2532G355G846G2532G5613G2243G416055But he turned and rebuked them,G1161G4762G2008G846G2532G2036G1492G3756G3634G4151G5210G207556and they all went on to another village.G1063G5207G444G2064G3756G2064G622G444G5590G235G4982G2532G4198G1519G2087G296857While they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."G1161G1096G846G4198G1722G3598G5100G2036G4314G846G2962G190G4671G3699G302G56558Jesus told him, "Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to rest."G2532G2424G2036G846G258G2192G5454G2532G4071G3772G2682G1161G5207G444G2192G3756G4226G2827G277659He told another man, "Follow me."But he said, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."G1161G2036G4314G2087G190G3427G1161G2036G2962G2010G3427G4412G565G2290G3450G396260But he told him, "Let the dead bury their own dead. But you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G3498G2290G1438G3498G1161G565G4771G1229G932G231661Still another man said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to those at home."G1161G2087G2532G2036G2962G190G4671G1161G2010G3427G4412G657G1519G3450G362462Jesus told him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3762G1911G846G5495G1909G723G2532G991G1519G3694G2076G2111G1519G932G2316
