9Then Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,G1161G4779G846G1427G3101G4779G2532G1325G846G1411G1849G1909G3956G1140G2532G2323G35542and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.G2532G649G846G2784G932G2316G2532G2390G7703He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money—not even an extra tunic.G2532G2036G4314G846G142G3367G1519G3598G3383G4464G3383G4082G3383G740G3383G694G3383G2192G1417G5509G3034Whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there.G2532G3739G302G3614G1525G1519G1563G3306G2532G1564G18315Wherever they do not welcome you, as you are leaving that town shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."G2532G3745G302G1209G3361G1209G5209G1831G575G1565G4172G660G2532G2868G575G5216G4228G1519G3142G1909G8466They departed and went through the villages, bringing the good news and curing diseases everywhere.G1161G1831G1330G2596G2968G2097G2532G2323G38377Now 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,G1161G2264G5076G191G3956G1096G5259G846G2532G1280G1223G3004G5259G5100G3754G2491G1453G1537G34988by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.G1161G5259G5100G3754G2243G5316G1161G243G3754G1520G744G4396G4509Herod said, "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he tried to see him.G2532G2264G2036G2491G607G1473G607G1161G5101G2076G3778G4012G3739G1473G191G5108G2532G2212G1492G84610On their return the apostles told Jesus all they had done. He took them with him and withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.G2532G652G5290G1334G846G3745G4160G2532G3880G846G5298G2596G2398G1519G2048G5117G4172G2564G96611When 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.G1161G3793G1097G190G846G2532G1209G846G2980G846G4012G932G2316G2532G2390G2192G5532G232212The 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."G1161G2250G756G2827G1161G4334G1427G2036G846G630G3793G630G2443G565G1519G2968G2532G68G2945G2647G2532G2147G1979G3754G2070G5602G1722G2048G511713But 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."G1161G2036G4314G846G1325G5210G846G5315G1161G2036G2254G3756G1526G4119G2228G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G1509G2249G4198G59G1033G1519G3956G5126G299214For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."G1063G2258G5616G4000G435G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G2625G846G2625G303G4004G282815They did so and made them all sit down.G2532G4160G3779G2532G347G537G34716And 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.G1161G2983G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G308G1519G3772G2127G846G2532G2622G2532G1325G3101G3908G379317And all ate and were filled. What was left over was gathered up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.G2532G5315G2532G5526G3956G5526G2532G142G2801G4052G846G1427G289418Once when Jesus was praying alone, with only the disciples near him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"G2532G1096G1722G1511G2651G4336G846G3101G4895G846G2532G1905G846G3004G5101G3004G3793G3165G151119They answered, "John the Baptist; but others, Elijah; and still others, that one of the ancient prophets has arisen."G1161G611G2036G2491G910G1161G243G2243G1161G243G3754G5100G744G4396G45020He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God."G1161G2036G846G1161G5101G3004G5210G3165G1511G1161G4074G611G2036G5547G231621He sternly ordered and commanded them not to tell anyone,G1161G2008G846G3853G2036G3367G512422saying, "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."G2036G3754G5207G444G1163G3958G4183G2532G593G575G4245G2532G749G2532G1122G2532G615G2532G1453G5154G225023Then 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.G1161G3004G4314G3956G1536G2309G2064G3694G3450G533G1438G2532G142G846G4716G2250G2596G2532G190G342724For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.G1063G3739G302G2309G4982G846G5590G622G846G1161G3739G302G622G846G5590G1700G1752G3778G4982G84625What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?G1063G5101G5623G444G5623G2770G3650G2889G1161G622G1438G2228G221026Those 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.G1063G3739G302G1870G3165G2532G1699G3056G5126G1870G5207G444G1870G3752G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3962G2532G40G3227But truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."G1161G3004G5213G230G1526G5100G2476G5602G3739G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G231628Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.G1161G1096G5616G3638G2250G3326G5128G3056G2532G3880G4074G2532G2491G2532G2385G305G1519G3735G433629And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white.G2532G1722G846G4336G1491G846G4383G1096G2087G2532G846G2441G3022G182330Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him.G2532G2400G4814G846G1417G435G3748G2258G3475G2532G224331They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.G3739G3700G1722G1391G3004G846G1841G3739G3195G4137G1722G241932Now 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.G1161G4074G2532G4862G846G2258G916G5258G1161G1235G1492G846G1391G2532G1417G435G4921G84633Just 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.G2532G1096G1722G846G1316G575G846G4074G2036G4314G2424G1988G2076G2570G2248G1511G5602G2532G4160G5140G4633G3391G4671G2532G3391G3475G2532G3391G2243G3361G1492G3739G300434While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud.G1161G846G5023G3004G1096G3507G2532G1982G846G1161G5399G1722G1565G1525G1519G350735Then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!"G2532G1096G5456G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G84636When 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.G2532G5456G1722G1096G2424G2147G3441G2532G846G4601G2532G518G3762G1722G1565G2250G3762G3739G370837On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.G1161G1096G1722G1836G2250G846G2718G575G3735G4183G3793G4876G84638Just then a man from the crowd shouted, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son; he is my only child.G2532G2400G435G575G3793G310G3004G1320G1189G4675G1914G1909G3450G5207G3754G2076G3427G343939Suddenly 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.G2532G2400G4151G2983G846G2532G1810G2896G2532G4682G846G876G3326G2532G4937G846G3425G672G575G84640I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."G2532G1189G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G1410G375641Jesus answered, "You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."G1161G2424G611G2036G5599G571G2532G1294G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2532G430G5216G4317G4675G5207G560242While 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.G1161G846G4334G2089G4334G1140G4486G846G4486G2532G4952G1161G2424G2008G169G4151G2532G2390G3816G2532G591G846G591G846G396243And all were astounded at the greatness of God. While everyone was amazed at all that he was doing, he said to his disciples,G1161G1605G3956G1605G1909G3168G2316G1161G2296G3956G1909G3956G3739G2424G4160G2036G4314G846G310144"Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands."G5128G3056G5087G1519G5210G5216G3775G1063G5207G444G3195G3860G1519G5495G44445But 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.G1161G50G5124G4487G2532G2258G3871G575G846G3363G143G846G3363G2532G5399G2065G846G4012G5127G448746An argument arose among them as to which one of them was the greatest.G1161G1525G1261G1722G846G5101G302G846G1498G318747But Jesus, aware of their inner thoughts, took a little child and put it by his side,G1161G2424G1492G1261G846G2588G1949G3813G2476G846G3844G143848and 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."G2532G2036G846G3739G1437G1209G5124G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G649G3165G1063G5225G3398G1722G5213G3956G3778G2071G317349John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us."G1161G2491G611G2036G1988G1492G5100G1544G1140G1909G4675G3686G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G3326G225750But Jesus said to him, "Do not stop him; for whoever is not against you is for you."G2532G2424G2036G4314G846G2967G3361G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G225751When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.G1161G1096G1722G2250G4845G846G354G2532G846G4741G846G4383G4198G1519G241952And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him;G2532G649G32G4253G846G4383G2532G4198G1525G1519G2968G4541G5620G2090G84653but they did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.G2532G1209G3756G1209G846G3754G846G4383G2258G4198G1519G241954When 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?"G1161G846G3101G2385G2532G2491G1492G2036G2962G2309G2036G4442G2597G575G3772G2532G355G846G2532G5613G2243G416055But he turned and rebuked them.G1161G4762G2008G846G2532G2036G1492G3756G3634G4151G5210G207556Then they went on to another village.G1063G5207G444G2064G3756G2064G622G444G5590G235G4982G2532G4198G1519G2087G296857As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."G1161G1096G846G4198G1722G3598G5100G2036G4314G846G2962G190G4671G3699G302G56558And 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."G2532G2424G2036G846G258G2192G5454G2532G4071G3772G2682G1161G5207G444G2192G3756G4226G2827G277659To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."G1161G2036G4314G2087G190G3427G1161G2036G2962G2010G3427G4412G565G2290G3450G396260But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G3498G2290G1438G3498G1161G565G4771G1229G932G231661Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."G1161G2087G2532G2036G2962G190G4671G1161G2010G3427G4412G657G1519G3450G362462Jesus said to him, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3762G1911G846G5495G1909G723G2532G991G1519G3694G2076G2111G1519G932G2316
