9Summoning the Twelve, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and [power] to heal diseases.G1161G4779G846G1427G3101G4779G2532G1325G846G1411G1849G1909G3956G1140G2532G2323G35542Then He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.G2532G649G846G2784G932G2316G2532G2390G7703"Take nothing for the road," He told them, "no walking stick, no traveling bag, no bread, no money; and don't take an extra shirt.G2532G2036G4314G846G142G3367G1519G3598G3383G4464G3383G4082G3383G740G3383G694G3383G2192G1417G5509G3034Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there.G2532G3739G302G3614G1525G1519G1563G3306G2532G1564G18315If they do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them."G2532G3745G302G1209G3361G1209G5209G1831G575G1565G4172G660G2532G2868G575G5216G4228G1519G3142G1909G8466So they went out and traveled from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.G1161G1831G1330G2596G2968G2097G2532G2323G38377Herod the tetrarch heard about everything that was going on. He was perplexed, because some said that John had been raised from the dead,G1161G2264G5076G191G3956G1096G5259G846G2532G1280G1223G3004G5259G5100G3754G2491G1453G1537G34988some that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the ancient prophets had risen.G1161G5259G5100G3754G2243G5316G1161G243G3754G1520G744G4396G4509"I beheaded John," Herod said, "but who is this I hear such things about?" And he wanted to see Him.G2532G2264G2036G2491G607G1473G607G1161G5101G2076G3778G4012G3739G1473G191G5108G2532G2212G1492G84610When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus all that they had done. He took them along and withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.G2532G652G5290G1334G846G3745G4160G2532G3880G846G5298G2596G2398G1519G2048G5117G4172G2564G96611When the crowds found out, they followed Him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing.G1161G3793G1097G190G846G2532G1209G846G2980G846G4012G932G2316G2532G2390G2192G5532G232212Late in the day, the Twelve approached and said to Him, "Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here."G1161G2250G756G2827G1161G4334G1427G2036G846G630G3793G630G2443G565G1519G2968G2532G68G2945G2647G2532G2147G1979G3754G2070G5602G1722G2048G511713"You give them something to eat," He told them. "We have no more than five loaves and two fish," they said, "unless we go and buy food for all these people."G1161G2036G4314G846G1325G5210G846G5315G1161G2036G2254G3756G1526G4119G2228G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G1509G2249G4198G59G1033G1519G3956G5126G299214(For about 5,000 men were there.) Then He told His disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about 50 each."G1063G2258G5616G4000G435G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G2625G846G2625G303G4004G282815They did so, and had them all sit down.G2532G4160G3779G2532G347G537G34716Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them. He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.G1161G2983G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G308G1519G3772G2127G846G2532G2622G2532G1325G3101G3908G379317Everyone ate and was filled. Then they picked up 12 baskets of leftover pieces.G2532G5315G2532G5526G3956G5526G2532G142G2801G4052G846G1427G289418While He was praying in private and His disciples were with Him, He asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"G2532G1096G1722G1511G2651G4336G846G3101G4895G846G2532G1905G846G3004G5101G3004G3793G3165G151119They answered, "John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back."G1161G611G2036G2491G910G1161G243G2243G1161G243G3754G5100G744G4396G45020"But you," He asked them, "who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "God's Messiah!"G1161G2036G846G1161G5101G3004G5210G3165G1511G1161G4074G611G2036G5547G231621But He strictly warned and instructed them to tell this to no one,G1161G2008G846G3853G2036G3367G512422saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day."G2036G3754G5207G444G1163G3958G4183G2532G593G575G4245G2532G749G2532G1122G2532G615G2532G1453G5154G225023Then He said to [them] all, "If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.G1161G3004G4314G3956G1536G2309G2064G3694G3450G533G1438G2532G142G846G4716G2250G2596G2532G190G342724For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it.G1063G3739G302G2309G4982G846G5590G622G846G1161G3739G302G622G846G5590G1700G1752G3778G4982G84625What is a man benefited if he gains the whole world, yet loses or forfeits himself?G1063G5101G5623G444G5623G2770G3650G2889G1161G622G1438G2228G221026For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and that of the Father and the holy angels.G1063G3739G302G1870G3165G2532G1699G3056G5126G1870G5207G444G1870G3752G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3962G2532G40G3227I tell you the truth: there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."G1161G3004G5213G230G1526G5100G2476G5602G3739G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G231628About eight days after these words, He took along Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.G1161G1096G5616G3638G2250G3326G5128G3056G2532G3880G4074G2532G2491G2532G2385G305G1519G3735G433629As He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became dazzling white.G2532G1722G846G4336G1491G846G4383G1096G2087G2532G846G2441G3022G182330Suddenly, two men were talking with Him— Moses and Elijah.G2532G2400G4814G846G1417G435G3748G2258G3475G2532G224331They appeared in glory and were speaking of His death, which He was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.G3739G3700G1722G1391G3004G846G1841G3739G3195G4137G1722G241932Peter and those with him were in a deep sleep, and when they became fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who were standing with Him.G1161G4074G2532G4862G846G2258G916G5258G1161G1235G1492G846G1391G2532G1417G435G4921G84633As the two men were departing from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it's good for us to be here! Let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"— not knowing what he said.G2532G1096G1722G846G1316G575G846G4074G2036G4314G2424G1988G2076G2570G2248G1511G5602G2532G4160G5140G4633G3391G4671G2532G3391G3475G2532G3391G2243G3361G1492G3739G300434While he was saying this, a cloud appeared and overshadowed them. They became afraid as they entered the cloud.G1161G846G5023G3004G1096G3507G2532G1982G846G1161G5399G1722G1565G1525G1519G350735Then a voice came from the cloud, saying: This is My Son, the Chosen One; listen to Him!G2532G1096G5456G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G84636After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was found. They kept silent, and in those days told no one what they had seen.G2532G5456G1722G1096G2424G2147G3441G2532G846G4601G2532G518G3762G1722G1565G2250G3762G3739G370837The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him.G1161G1096G1722G1836G2250G846G2718G575G3735G4183G3793G4876G84638Just then a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, because he's my only [child].G2532G2400G435G575G3793G310G3004G1320G1189G4675G1914G1909G3450G5207G3754G2076G3427G343939Often a spirit seizes him; suddenly he shrieks, and it throws him into convulsions until he foams at the mouth; wounding him, it hardly ever leaves him.G2532G2400G4151G2983G846G2532G1810G2896G2532G4682G846G876G3326G2532G4937G846G3425G672G575G84640I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't."G2532G1189G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G1410G375641Jesus replied, "You unbelieving and rebellious generation! How long will I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."G1161G2424G611G2036G5599G571G2532G1294G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2532G430G5216G4317G4675G5207G560242As the boy was still approaching, the demon knocked him down and threw him into severe convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.G1161G846G4334G2089G4334G1140G4486G846G4486G2532G4952G1161G2424G2008G169G4151G2532G2390G3816G2532G591G846G591G846G396243And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was amazed at all the things He was doing, He told His disciples,G1161G1605G3956G1605G1909G3168G2316G1161G2296G3956G1909G3956G3739G2424G4160G2036G4314G846G310144"Let these words sink in: the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."G5128G3056G5087G1519G5210G5216G3775G1063G5207G444G3195G3860G1519G5495G44445But they did not understand this statement; it was concealed from them so that they could not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.G1161G50G5124G4487G2532G2258G3871G575G846G3363G143G846G3363G2532G5399G2065G846G4012G5127G448746Then an argument started among them about who would be the greatest of them.G1161G1525G1261G1722G846G5101G302G846G1498G318747But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, took a little child and had him stand next to Him.G1161G2424G1492G1261G846G2588G1949G3813G2476G846G3844G143848He told them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me. For whoever is least among you— this one is great."G2532G2036G846G3739G1437G1209G5124G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G649G3165G1063G5225G3398G1722G5213G3956G3778G2071G317349John responded, "Master, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him because he does not follow us."G1161G2491G611G2036G1988G1492G5100G1544G1140G1909G4675G3686G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G3326G225750"Don't stop him," Jesus told him, "because whoever is not against you is for you."G2532G2424G2036G4314G846G2967G3361G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G225751When the days were coming to a close for Him to be taken up, He determined to journey to Jerusalem.G1161G1096G1722G2250G4845G846G354G2532G846G4741G846G4383G4198G1519G241952He sent messengers ahead of Him, and on the way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make preparations for Him.G2532G649G32G4253G846G4383G2532G4198G1525G1519G2968G4541G5620G2090G84653But they did not welcome Him, because He determined to journey to Jerusalem.G2532G1209G3756G1209G846G3754G846G4383G2258G4198G1519G241954When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?"G1161G846G3101G2385G2532G2491G1492G2036G2962G2309G2036G4442G2597G575G3772G2532G355G846G2532G5613G2243G416055But He turned and rebuked them,G1161G4762G2008G846G2532G2036G1492G3756G3634G4151G5210G207556and they went to another village.G1063G5207G444G2064G3756G2064G622G444G5590G235G4982G2532G4198G1519G2087G296857As they were traveling on the road someone said to Him, "I will follow You wherever You go!"G1161G1096G846G4198G1722G3598G5100G2036G4314G846G2962G190G4671G3699G302G56558Jesus told him, "Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head."G2532G2424G2036G846G258G2192G5454G2532G4071G3772G2682G1161G5207G444G2192G3756G4226G2827G277659Then He said to another, "Follow Me." "Lord," he said, "first let me go bury my father."G1161G2036G4314G2087G190G3427G1161G2036G2962G2010G3427G4412G565G2290G3450G396260But He told him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and spread the news of the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G3498G2290G1438G3498G1161G565G4771G1229G932G231661Another also said, "I will follow You, Lord, but first let me go and say good-bye to those at my house."G1161G2087G2532G2036G2962G190G4671G1161G2010G3427G4412G657G1519G3450G362462But Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3762G1911G846G5495G1909G723G2532G991G1519G3694G2076G2111G1519G932G2316
