9THEN JESUS called together the Twelve [apostles] and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases,G1161G4779G846G1427G3101G4779G2532G1325G846G1411G1849G1909G3956G1140G2532G2323G3554 2And He sent them out to announce {and} preach the kingdom of God and to bring healing.G2532G649G846G2784G932G2316G2532G2390G770 3And He said to them, Do not take anything for your journey--neither walking stick, nor wallet [for a collection bag], nor food of any kind, nor money, and do not have two undergarments (tunics).G2532G2036G4314G846G142G3367G1519G3598G3383G4464G3383G4082G3383G740G3383G694G3383G2192G1417G5509G303 4And whatever house you enter, stay there until you go away [from that place].G2532G3739G302G3614G1525G1519G1563G3306G2532G1564G1831 5And wherever they do not receive {and} accept {and} welcome you, when you leave that town shake off [even] the dust from your feet, as a testimony against them.G2532G3745G302G1209G3361G1209G5209G1831G575G1565G4172G660G2532G2868G575G5216G4228G1519G3142G1909G846 6And departing, they went about from village to village, preaching the Gospel and restoring the afflicted to health everywhere.G1161G1831G1330G2596G2968G2097G2532G2323G3837 7Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was being done by [Jesus], and he was [thoroughly] perplexed {and} troubled, because it was said by some that John [the Baptist] had been raised from the dead,G1161G2264G5076G191G3956G1096G5259G846G2532G1280G1223G3004G5259G5100G3754G2491G1453G1537G3498 8And by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had come back to life.G1161G5259G5100G3754G2243G5316G1161G243G3754G1520G744G4396G450 9But Herod said, John I beheaded; but Who is this about Whom I [learn] such things by hearsay? And he sought to see Him.G2532G2264G2036G2491G607G1473G607G1161G5101G2076G3778G4012G3739G1473G191G5108G2532G2212G1492G846 10Upon their return, the apostles reported to Jesus all that they had done. And He took them [along with Him] and withdrew into privacy near a town called Bethsaida.G2532G652G5290G1334G846G3745G4160G2532G3880G846G5298G2596G2398G1519G2048G5117G4172G2564G966 11But when the crowds learned of it, [they] followed Him; and He welcomed them and talked to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed restoration to health.G1161G3793G1097G190G846G2532G1209G846G2980G846G4012G932G2316G2532G2390G2192G5532G2322 12Now the day began to decline, and the Twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the crowds {and} send them away, so that they may go to the neighboring hamlets {and} villages and the surrounding country and find lodging and get a supply of provisions, for we are here in an uninhabited (barren, solitary) place.G1161G2250G756G2827G1161G4334G1427G2036G846G630G3793G630G2443G565G1519G2968G2532G68G2945G2647G2532G2147G1979G3754G2070G5602G1722G2048G5117 13But He said to them, You [yourselves] give them [food] to eat. They said, We have no more than five loaves and two fish--unless we are to go and buy food for all this crowd, [II Kings 4:42-44.]G1161G2036G4314G846G1325G5210G846G5315G1161G2036G2254G3756G1526G4119G2228G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G1509G2249G4198G59G1033G1519G3956G5126G2992 14For there were about 5,000 men. And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Have them [sit down] reclining in table groups (companies) of about fifty each.G1063G2258G5616G4000G435G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G2625G846G2625G303G4004G2828 15And they did so, and made them all recline.G2532G4160G3779G2532G347G537G347 16And taking the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven and [praising God] gave thanks {and} asked Him to bless them [to their use]. Then He broke them and gave them to the disciples to place before the multitude.G1161G2983G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G308G1519G3772G2127G846G2532G2622G2532G1325G3101G3908G3793 17And all the people ate and were satisfied. And they gathered up what remained over--twelve [small hand] baskets of broken pieces.G2532G5315G2532G5526G3956G5526G2532G142G2801G4052G846G1427G2894 18Now it occurred that as Jesus was praying privately, the disciples were with Him, and He asked them, Who do men say that I am?G2532G1096G1722G1511G2651G4336G846G3101G4895G846G2532G1905G846G3004G5101G3004G3793G3165G1511 19And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back to life.G1161G611G2036G2491G910G1161G243G2243G1161G243G3754G5100G744G4396G450 20And He said to them, But who do you [yourselves] say that I am? And Peter replied, The Christ of God!G1161G2036G846G1161G5101G3004G5210G3165G1511G1161G4074G611G2036G5547G2316 21But He strictly charged and sharply commanded them [under penalty] to tell this to no one [no one, whoever he might be],G1161G2008G846G3853G2036G3367G5124 22Saying, The Son of Man must suffer many things and be [deliberately] disapproved {and} repudiated {and} rejected on the part of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death and on the third day be raised [again].G2036G3754G5207G444G1163G3958G4183G2532G593G575G4245G2532G749G2532G1122G2532G615G2532G1453G5154G2250 23And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also].G1161G3004G4314G3956G1536G2309G2064G3694G3450G533G1438G2532G142G846G4716G2250G2596G2532G190G3427 24For whoever would preserve his life {and} save it will lose {and} destroy it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he will preserve {and} save it [from the penalty of eternal death].G1063G3739G302G2309G4982G846G5590G622G846G1161G3739G302G622G846G5590G1700G1752G3778G4982G846 25For what does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and ruins or forfeits (loses) himself?G1063G5101G5623G444G5623G2770G3650G2889G1161G622G1438G2228G2210 26Because whoever is ashamed of Me and of My teachings, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in the [threefold] glory (the splendor and majesty) of Himself and of the Father and of the holy angels.G1063G3739G302G1870G3165G2532G1699G3056G5126G1870G5207G444G1870G3752G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3962G2532G40G32 27However I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.G1161G3004G5213G230G1526G5100G2476G5602G3739G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G2316 28Now about eight days after these teachings, Jesus took with Him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.G1161G1096G5616G3638G2250G3326G5128G3056G2532G3880G4074G2532G2491G2532G2385G305G1519G3735G4336 29And as He was praying, the appearance of His countenance became altered (different), and His raiment became dazzling white [flashing with the brilliance of lightning].G2532G1722G846G4336G1491G846G4383G1096G2087G2532G846G2441G3022G1823 30And behold, two men were conversing with Him--Moses and Elijah,G2532G2400G4814G846G1417G435G3748G2258G3475G2532G2243 31Who appeared in splendor {and} majesty {and} brightness and were speaking of His exit [from life], which He was about to bring to realization at Jerusalem.G3739G3700G1722G1391G3004G846G1841G3739G3195G4137G1722G2419 32Now Peter and those with him were weighed down with sleep, but when they fully awoke, they saw His glory (splendor and majesty and brightness) and the two men who stood with Him.G1161G4074G2532G4862G846G2258G916G5258G1161G1235G1492G846G1391G2532G1417G435G4921G846 33And it occurred as the men were parting from Him that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is delightful {and} good that we are here; and let us construct three booths {or} huts--one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah! not noticing {or} knowing what he was saying.G2532G1096G1722G846G1316G575G846G4074G2036G4314G2424G1988G2076G2570G2248G1511G5602G2532G4160G5140G4633G3391G4671G2532G3391G3475G2532G3391G2243G3361G1492G3739G3004 34But even as he was saying this, a cloud came and began to overshadow them, and they were seized with alarm {and} struck with fear as they entered into the cloud.G1161G846G5023G3004G1096G3507G2532G1982G846G1161G5399G1722G1565G1525G1519G3507 35Then there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, My Chosen One {or} {My Beloved}; listen to {and} yield to {and} obey Him!G2532G1096G5456G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G846 36And when the voice had died away, Jesus was found there alone. And they kept still, and told no one at that time any of these things that they had seen.G2532G5456G1722G1096G2424G2147G3441G2532G846G4601G2532G518G3762G1722G1565G2250G3762G3739G3708 37Now it occurred the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him.G1161G1096G1722G1836G2250G846G2718G575G3735G4183G3793G4876G846 38And behold, a man from the crowd shouted out, Master, I implore You to look at my son, for he is my only child;G2532G2400G435G575G3793G310G3004G1320G1189G4675G1914G1909G3450G5207G3754G2076G3427G3439 39And behold, a spirit seizes him and suddenly he cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and he is sorely shattered, and it will scarcely leave him.G2532G2400G4151G2983G846G2532G1810G2896G2532G4682G846G876G3326G2532G4937G846G3425G672G575G846 40And I implored Your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.G2532G1189G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G1410G3756 41Jesus answered, O [faithless ones] unbelieving {and} without trust in God, a perverse (wayward, crooked and warped) generation! Until when {and} how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here [to Me].G1161G2424G611G2036G5599G571G2532G1294G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2532G430G5216G4317G4675G5207G5602 42And even while he was coming, the demon threw him down and [completely] convulsed him. But Jesus censured {and} severely rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and restored him to his father.G1161G846G4334G2089G4334G1140G4486G846G4486G2532G4952G1161G2424G2008G169G4151G2532G2390G3816G2532G591G846G591G846G3962 43And all were astounded at the evidence of God's mighty power {and} His majesty {and} magnificence. But [while] they were all marveling at everything Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,G1161G1605G3956G1605G1909G3168G2316G1161G2296G3956G1909G3956G3739G2424G4160G2036G4314G846G3101 44Let these words sink into your ears: the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men [whose conduct is opposed to God].G5128G3056G5087G1519G5210G5216G3775G1063G5207G444G3195G3860G1519G5495G444 45However, they did not comprehend this saying; and it was kept hidden from them, so that they should not grasp it {and} understand, and they were afraid to ask Him about the statement.G1161G50G5124G4487G2532G2258G3871G575G846G3363G143G846G3363G2532G5399G2065G846G4012G5127G4487 46But a controversy arose among them as to which of them might be the greatest [surpassing the others in excellence, worth, and authority].G1161G1525G1261G1722G846G5101G302G846G1498G3187 47But Jesus, as He perceived the thoughts of their hearts, took a little child and put him at His sideG1161G2424G1492G1261G846G2588G1949G3813G2476G846G3844G1438 48And told them, Whoever receives {and} accepts {and} welcomes this child in My name {and} for My sake receives {and} accepts {and} welcomes Me; and whoever so receives Me so also receives Him Who sent Me. For he who is least {and} lowliest among you all--he is [the one who is truly] great.G2532G2036G846G3739G1437G1209G5124G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G649G3165G1063G5225G3398G1722G5213G3956G3778G2071G3173 49John said, Master, we saw a man driving out demons in Your name and we commanded him to stop it, for he does not follow along with us.G1161G2491G611G2036G1988G1492G5100G1544G1140G1909G4675G3686G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G3326G2257 50But Jesus told him, Do not forbid [such people]; for whoever is not against you is for you.G2532G2424G2036G4314G846G2967G3361G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G2257 51Now when the time was almost come for Jesus to be received up [to heaven], He steadfastly {and} determinedly set His face to go to Jerusalem.G1161G1096G1722G2250G4845G846G354G2532G846G4741G846G4383G4198G1519G2419 52And He sent messengers before Him; and they reached and entered a Samaritan village to make [things] ready for Him;G2532G649G32G4253G846G4383G2532G4198G1525G1519G2968G4541G5620G2090G846 53But [the people] would not welcome {or} receive {or} accept Him, because His face was [set as if He was] going to Jerusalem.G2532G1209G3756G1209G846G3754G846G4383G2258G4198G1519G2419 54And when His disciples James and John observed this, they said, Lord, do You wish us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, {even as Elijah did} ? [II Kings 1:9-16.]G1161G846G3101G2385G2532G2491G1492G2036G2962G2309G2036G4442G2597G575G3772G2532G355G846G2532G5613G2243G4160 55But He turned and rebuked {and} severely censured them. {He said, You do not know of what sort of spirit you are,}G1161G4762G2008G846G2532G2036G1492G3756G3634G4151G5210G2075 56{For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them [from the penalty of eternal death]. And they journeyed on to another village.G1063G5207G444G2064G3756G2064G622G444G5590G235G4982G2532G4198G1519G2087G2968 57And it occurred that as they were going along the road, a man said to Him, {Lord,} I will follow You wherever You go.G1161G1096G846G4198G1722G3598G5100G2036G4314G846G2962G190G4671G3699G302G565 58And Jesus told him, Foxes have lurking holes and the birds of the air have roosts {and} nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.G2532G2424G2036G846G258G2192G5454G2532G4071G3772G2682G1161G5207G444G2192G3756G4226G2827G2776 59And He said to another, Become My disciple, side with My party, and accompany Me! But he replied, {Lord,} permit me first to go and bury (await the death of) my father.G1161G2036G4314G2087G190G3427G1161G2036G2962G2010G3427G4412G565G2290G3450G3962 60But Jesus said to him, Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go {and} publish abroad throughout all regions the kingdom of God.G1161G2424G2036G846G863G3498G2290G1438G3498G1161G565G4771G1229G932G2316 61Another also said, I will follow You, Lord, {and} become Your disciple {and} side with Your party; but let me first say good-bye to those at my home.G1161G2087G2532G2036G2962G190G4671G1161G2010G3427G4412G657G1519G3450G3624 62Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back [to the things behind] is fit for the kingdom of God.G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3762G1911G846G5495G1909G723G2532G991G1519G3694G2076G2111G1519G932G2316
