The Mission of the Twelve

9Then Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,G1161G4779G846G1427G3101G4779G2532G1325G846G1411G1849G1909G3956G1140G2532G2323G3554 2and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.G2532G649G846G2784G932G2316G2532G2390G770 3He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money—not even an extra tunic.G2532G2036G4314G846G142G3367G1519G3598G3383G4464G3383G4082G3383G740G3383G694G3383G2192G1417G5509G303 4Whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there.G2532G3739G302G3614G1525G1519G1563G3306G2532G1564G1831 5Wherever they do not welcome you, as you are leaving that town shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."G2532G3745G302G1209G3361G1209G5209G1831G575G1565G4172G660G2532G2868G575G5216G4228G1519G3142G1909G846 6They departed and went through the villages, bringing the good news and curing diseases everywhere.G1161G1831G1330G2596G2968G2097G2532G2323G3837

Herod’s Perplexity

7Now Herod the ruler heard about all that had taken place, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,G1161G2264G5076G191G3956G1096G5259G846G2532G1280G1223G3004G5259G5100G3754G2491G1453G1537G3498 8by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.G1161G5259G5100G3754G2243G5316G1161G243G3754G1520G744G4396G450 9Herod said, "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he tried to see him.G2532G2264G2036G2491G607G1473G607G1161G5101G2076G3778G4012G3739G1473G191G5108G2532G2212G1492G846

Feeding the Five Thousand

10On their return the apostles told Jesus all they had done. He took them with him and withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.G2532G652G5290G1334G846G3745G4160G2532G3880G846G5298G2596G2398G1519G2048G5117G4172G2564G966 11When the crowds found out about it, they followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed to be cured.G1161G3793G1097G190G846G2532G1209G846G2980G846G4012G932G2316G2532G2390G2192G5532G2322 12The day was drawing to a close, and the twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a deserted place."G1161G2250G756G2827G1161G4334G1427G2036G846G630G3793G630G2443G565G1519G2968G2532G68G2945G2647G2532G2147G1979G3754G2070G5602G1722G2048G5117 13But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people."G1161G2036G4314G846G1325G5210G846G5315G1161G2036G2254G3756G1526G4119G2228G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G1509G2249G4198G59G1033G1519G3956G5126G2992 14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."G1063G2258G5616G4000G435G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G2625G846G2625G303G4004G2828 15They did so and made them all sit down.G2532G4160G3779G2532G347G537G347 16And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.G1161G2983G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G308G1519G3772G2127G846G2532G2622G2532G1325G3101G3908G3793 17And all ate and were filled. What was left over was gathered up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.G2532G5315G2532G5526G3956G5526G2532G142G2801G4052G846G1427G2894

Peter’s Declaration about Jesus

18Once when Jesus was praying alone, with only the disciples near him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"G2532G1096G1722G1511G2651G4336G846G3101G4895G846G2532G1905G846G3004G5101G3004G3793G3165G1511 19They answered, "John the Baptist; but others, Elijah; and still others, that one of the ancient prophets has arisen."G1161G611G2036G2491G910G1161G243G2243G1161G243G3754G5100G744G4396G450 20He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God."G1161G2036G846G1161G5101G3004G5210G3165G1511G1161G4074G611G2036G5547G2316

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

21He sternly ordered and commanded them not to tell anyone,G1161G2008G846G3853G2036G3367G5124 22saying, "The Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."G2036G3754G5207G444G1163G3958G4183G2532G593G575G4245G2532G749G2532G1122G2532G615G2532G1453G5154G2250 23Then he said to them all, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.G1161G3004G4314G3956G1536G2309G2064G3694G3450G533G1438G2532G142G846G4716G2250G2596G2532G190G3427 24For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.G1063G3739G302G2309G4982G846G5590G622G846G1161G3739G302G622G846G5590G1700G1752G3778G4982G846 25What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?G1063G5101G5623G444G5623G2770G3650G2889G1161G622G1438G2228G2210 26Those who are ashamed of me and of my words, of them the Son of Man will be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.G1063G3739G302G1870G3165G2532G1699G3056G5126G1870G5207G444G1870G3752G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3962G2532G40G32 27But truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."G1161G3004G5213G230G1526G5100G2476G5602G3739G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G2316

The Transfiguration

28Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.G1161G1096G5616G3638G2250G3326G5128G3056G2532G3880G4074G2532G2491G2532G2385G305G1519G3735G4336 29And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white.G2532G1722G846G4336G1491G846G4383G1096G2087G2532G846G2441G3022G1823 30Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him.G2532G2400G4814G846G1417G435G3748G2258G3475G2532G2243 31They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.G3739G3700G1722G1391G3004G846G1841G3739G3195G4137G1722G2419 32Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.G1161G4074G2532G4862G846G2258G916G5258G1161G1235G1492G846G1391G2532G1417G435G4921G846 33Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"—not knowing what he said.G2532G1096G1722G846G1316G575G846G4074G2036G4314G2424G1988G2076G2570G2248G1511G5602G2532G4160G5140G4633G3391G4671G2532G3391G3475G2532G3391G2243G3361G1492G3739G3004 34While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud.G1161G846G5023G3004G1096G3507G2532G1982G846G1161G5399G1722G1565G1525G1519G3507 35Then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!"G2532G1096G5456G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G846 36When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen.G2532G5456G1722G1096G2424G2147G3441G2532G846G4601G2532G518G3762G1722G1565G2250G3762G3739G3708

Jesus Heals a Boy with a Demon

37On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.G1161G1096G1722G1836G2250G846G2718G575G3735G4183G3793G4876G846 38Just then a man from the crowd shouted, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son; he is my only child.G2532G2400G435G575G3793G310G3004G1320G1189G4675G1914G1909G3450G5207G3754G2076G3427G3439 39Suddenly a spirit seizes him, and all at once he shrieks. It convulses him until he foams at the mouth; it mauls him and will scarcely leave him.G2532G2400G4151G2983G846G2532G1810G2896G2532G4682G846G876G3326G2532G4937G846G3425G672G575G846 40I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."G2532G1189G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G1410G3756 41Jesus answered, "You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."G1161G2424G611G2036G5599G571G2532G1294G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2532G430G5216G4317G4675G5207G5602 42While he was coming, the demon dashed him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.G1161G846G4334G2089G4334G1140G4486G846G4486G2532G4952G1161G2424G2008G169G4151G2532G2390G3816G2532G591G846G591G846G3962

Jesus Again Foretells His Death

43And all were astounded at the greatness of God. While everyone was amazed at all that he was doing, he said to his disciples,G1161G1605G3956G1605G1909G3168G2316G1161G2296G3956G1909G3956G3739G2424G4160G2036G4314G846G3101 44"Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands."G5128G3056G5087G1519G5210G5216G3775G1063G5207G444G3195G3860G1519G5495G444 45But they did not understand this saying; its meaning was concealed from them, so that they could not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.G1161G50G5124G4487G2532G2258G3871G575G846G3363G143G846G3363G2532G5399G2065G846G4012G5127G4487

True Greatness

46An argument arose among them as to which one of them was the greatest.G1161G1525G1261G1722G846G5101G302G846G1498G3187 47But Jesus, aware of their inner thoughts, took a little child and put it by his side,G1161G2424G1492G1261G846G2588G1949G3813G2476G846G3844G1438 48and said to them, "Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me; for the least among all of you is the greatest."G2532G2036G846G3739G1437G1209G5124G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G649G3165G1063G5225G3398G1722G5213G3956G3778G2071G3173

Another Exorcist

49John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us."G1161G2491G611G2036G1988G1492G5100G1544G1140G1909G4675G3686G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G3326G2257 50But Jesus said to him, "Do not stop him; for whoever is not against you is for you."G2532G2424G2036G4314G846G2967G3361G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G2257

A Samaritan Village Refuses to Receive Jesus

51When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.G1161G1096G1722G2250G4845G846G354G2532G846G4741G846G4383G4198G1519G2419 52And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him;G2532G649G32G4253G846G4383G2532G4198G1525G1519G2968G4541G5620G2090G846 53but they did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.G2532G1209G3756G1209G846G3754G846G4383G2258G4198G1519G2419 54When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"G1161G846G3101G2385G2532G2491G1492G2036G2962G2309G2036G4442G2597G575G3772G2532G355G846G2532G5613G2243G4160 55But he turned and rebuked them.G1161G4762G2008G846G2532G2036G1492G3756G3634G4151G5210G2075 56Then they went on to another village.G1063G5207G444G2064G3756G2064G622G444G5590G235G4982G2532G4198G1519G2087G2968

Would-Be Followers of Jesus

57As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."G1161G1096G846G4198G1722G3598G5100G2036G4314G846G2962G190G4671G3699G302G565 58And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."G2532G2424G2036G846G258G2192G5454G2532G4071G3772G2682G1161G5207G444G2192G3756G4226G2827G2776 59To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."G1161G2036G4314G2087G190G3427G1161G2036G2962G2010G3427G4412G565G2290G3450G3962 60But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G3498G2290G1438G3498G1161G565G4771G1229G932G2316 61Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."G1161G2087G2532G2036G2962G190G4671G1161G2010G3427G4412G657G1519G3450G3624 62Jesus said to him, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3762G1911G846G5495G1909G723G2532G991G1519G3694G2076G2111G1519G932G2316
