9Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.G1161G4779G846G1427G3101G4779G2532G1325G846G1411G1849G1909G3956G1140G2532G2323G35542He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.G2532G649G846G2784G932G2316G2532G2390G7703And He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.G2532G2036G4314G846G142G3367G1519G3598G3383G4464G3383G4082G3383G740G3383G694G3383G2192G1417G5509G3034"Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.G2532G3739G302G3614G1525G1519G1563G3306G2532G1564G18315"And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them."G2532G3745G302G1209G3361G1209G5209G1831G575G1565G4172G660G2532G2868G575G5216G4228G1519G3142G1909G8466So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.G1161G1831G1330G2596G2968G2097G2532G2323G38377Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,G1161G2264G5076G191G3956G1096G5259G846G2532G1280G1223G3004G5259G5100G3754G2491G1453G1537G34988and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.G1161G5259G5100G3754G2243G5316G1161G243G3754G1520G744G4396G4509Herod said, "John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?" So he sought to see Him.G2532G2264G2036G2491G607G1473G607G1161G5101G2076G3778G4012G3739G1473G191G5108G2532G2212G1492G84610And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.G2532G652G5290G1334G846G3745G4160G2532G3880G846G5298G2596G2398G1519G2048G5117G4172G2564G96611But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.G1161G3793G1097G190G846G2532G1209G846G2980G846G4012G932G2316G2532G2390G2192G5532G232212When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."G1161G2250G756G2827G1161G4334G1427G2036G846G630G3793G630G2443G565G1519G2968G2532G68G2945G2647G2532G2147G1979G3754G2070G5602G1722G2048G511713But He said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people."G1161G2036G4314G846G1325G5210G846G5315G1161G2036G2254G3756G1526G4119G2228G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G1509G2249G4198G59G1033G1519G3956G5126G299214For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of fifty."G1063G2258G5616G4000G435G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G2625G846G2625G303G4004G282815And they did so, and made them all sit down.G2532G4160G3779G2532G347G537G34716Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.G1161G2983G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G308G1519G3772G2127G846G2532G2622G2532G1325G3101G3908G379317So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.G2532G5315G2532G5526G3956G5526G2532G142G2801G4052G846G1427G289418And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"G2532G1096G1722G1511G2651G4336G846G3101G4895G846G2532G1905G846G3004G5101G3004G3793G3165G151119So they answered and said, "John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again."G1161G611G2036G2491G910G1161G243G2243G1161G243G3754G5100G744G4396G45020He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said, "The Christ of God."G1161G2036G846G1161G5101G3004G5210G3165G1511G1161G4074G611G2036G5547G231621And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,G1161G2008G846G3853G2036G3367G512422saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day."G2036G3754G5207G444G1163G3958G4183G2532G593G575G4245G2532G749G2532G1122G2532G615G2532G1453G5154G225023Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.G1161G3004G4314G3956G1536G2309G2064G3694G3450G533G1438G2532G142G846G4716G2250G2596G2532G190G342724"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.G1063G3739G302G2309G4982G846G5590G622G846G1161G3739G302G622G846G5590G1700G1752G3778G4982G84625"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?G1063G5101G5623G444G5623G2770G3650G2889G1161G622G1438G2228G221026"For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.G1063G3739G302G1870G3165G2532G1699G3056G5126G1870G5207G444G1870G3752G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3962G2532G40G3227"But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God."G1161G3004G5213G230G1526G5100G2476G5602G3739G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G231628Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.G1161G1096G5616G3638G2250G3326G5128G3056G2532G3880G4074G2532G2491G2532G2385G305G1519G3735G433629As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.G2532G1722G846G4336G1491G846G4383G1096G2087G2532G846G2441G3022G182330And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,G2532G2400G4814G846G1417G435G3748G2258G3475G2532G224331who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.G3739G3700G1722G1391G3004G846G1841G3739G3195G4137G1722G241932But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.G1161G4074G2532G4862G846G2258G916G5258G1161G1235G1492G846G1391G2532G1417G435G4921G84633Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and 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 came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud.G1161G846G5023G3004G1096G3507G2532G1982G846G1161G5399G1722G1565G1525G1519G350735And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!"G2532G1096G5456G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G84636When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.G2532G5456G1722G1096G2424G2147G3441G2532G846G4601G2532G518G3762G1722G1565G2250G3762G3739G370837Now it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him.G1161G1096G1722G1836G2250G846G2718G575G3735G4183G3793G4876G84638Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, "Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child.G2532G2400G435G575G3793G310G3004G1320G1189G4675G1914G1909G3450G5207G3754G2076G3427G343939"And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him.G2532G2400G4151G2983G846G2532G1810G2896G2532G4682G846G876G3326G2532G4937G846G3425G672G575G84640"So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."G2532G1189G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G1410G375641Then Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."G1161G2424G611G2036G5599G571G2532G1294G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2532G430G5216G4317G4675G5207G560242And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.G1161G846G4334G2089G4334G1140G4486G846G4486G2532G4952G1161G2424G2008G169G4151G2532G2390G3816G2532G591G846G591G846G396243And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,G1161G1605G3956G1605G1909G3168G2316G1161G2296G3956G1909G3956G3739G2424G4160G2036G4314G846G310144"Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."G5128G3056G5087G1519G5210G5216G3775G1063G5207G444G3195G3860G1519G5495G44445But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.G1161G50G5124G4487G2532G2258G3871G575G846G3363G143G846G3363G2532G5399G2065G846G4012G5127G448746Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest.G1161G1525G1261G1722G846G5101G302G846G1498G318747And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him,G1161G2424G1492G1261G846G2588G1949G3813G2476G846G3844G143848and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great."G2532G2036G846G3739G1437G1209G5124G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G649G3165G1063G5225G3398G1722G5213G3956G3778G2071G317349Now John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us."G1161G2491G611G2036G1988G1492G5100G1544G1140G1909G4675G3686G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G3326G225750But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."G2532G2424G2036G4314G846G2967G3361G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G225751Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,G1161G1096G1722G2250G4845G846G354G2532G846G4741G846G4383G4198G1519G241952and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.G2532G649G32G4253G846G4383G2532G4198G1525G1519G2968G4541G5620G2090G84653But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.G2532G1209G3756G1209G846G3754G846G4383G2258G4198G1519G241954And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"G1161G846G3101G2385G2532G2491G1492G2036G2962G2309G2036G4442G2597G575G3772G2532G355G846G2532G5613G2243G416055But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.G1161G4762G2008G846G2532G2036G1492G3756G3634G4151G5210G207556"For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." And they went to another village.G1063G5207G444G2064G3756G2064G622G444G5590G235G4982G2532G4198G1519G2087G296857Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, "Lord, 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."G2532G2424G2036G846G258G2192G5454G2532G4071G3772G2682G1161G5207G444G2192G3756G4226G2827G277659Then He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."G1161G2036G4314G2087G190G3427G1161G2036G2962G2010G3427G4412G565G2290G3450G396260Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G3498G2290G1438G3498G1161G565G4771G1229G932G231661And another also said, "Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house."G1161G2087G2532G2036G2962G190G4671G1161G2010G3427G4412G657G1519G3450G362462But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3762G1911G846G5495G1909G723G2532G991G1519G3694G2076G2111G1519G932G2316
