Herod’s Confusion

7When Herod, the ruler of Galilee, heard about all the things that were happening, he was very confused, because some people were saying that John the Baptist had come back to life.G1161G2264G5076G191G3956G1096G5259G846G2532G1280G1223G3004G5259G5100G3754G2491G1453G1537G3498 8Others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.G1161G5259G5100G3754G2243G5316G1161G243G3754G1520G744G4396G450 9Herod said, "I had John's head cut off; but who is this man I hear these things about?" And he kept trying to see Jesus.G2532G2264G2036G2491G607G1473G607G1161G5101G2076G3778G4012G3739G1473G191G5108G2532G2212G1492G846

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

10The apostles came back and told Jesus everything they had done. He took them with him, and they went off by themselves to a town named Bethsaida.G2532G652G5290G1334G846G3745G4160G2532G3880G846G5298G2596G2398G1519G2048G5117G4172G2564G966 11When the crowds heard about it, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the Kingdom of God, and healed those who needed it.G1161G3793G1097G190G846G2532G1209G846G2980G846G4012G932G2316G2532G2390G2192G5532G2322 12When the sun was beginning to set, the twelve disciples came to him and said, "Send the people away so that they can go to the villages and farms around here and find food and lodging, because this is a lonely place."G1161G2250G756G2827G1161G4334G1427G2036G846G630G3793G630G2443G565G1519G2968G2532G68G2945G2647G2532G2147G1979G3754G2070G5602G1722G2048G5117 13But Jesus said to them, "You yourselves give them something to eat." They answered, "All we have are five loaves and two fish. Do you want us to go and buy food for this whole crowd?"G1161G2036G4314G846G1325G5210G846G5315G1161G2036G2254G3756G1526G4119G2228G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G1509G2249G4198G59G1033G1519G3956G5126G2992 14(There were about five thousand men there.) Jesus said to his disciples, "Make the people sit down in groups of about fifty each."G1063G2258G5616G4000G435G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G2625G846G2625G303G4004G2828 15After the disciples had done so,G2532G4160G3779G2532G347G537G347 16Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, thanked God for them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people.G1161G2983G4002G740G2532G1417G2486G308G1519G3772G2127G846G2532G2622G2532G1325G3101G3908G3793 17They all ate and had enough, and the disciples took up twelve baskets of what was left over.G2532G5315G2532G5526G3956G5526G2532G142G2801G4052G846G1427G2894

Peter’s Declaration about Jesus

18One day when Jesus was praying alone, the disciples came to him. "Who do the crowds say I am?" he asked them.G2532G1096G1722G1511G2651G4336G846G3101G4895G846G2532G1905G846G3004G5101G3004G3793G3165G1511 19"Some say that you are John the Baptist," they answered. "Others say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life."G1161G611G2036G2491G910G1161G243G2243G1161G243G3754G5100G744G4396G450 20"What about you?" he asked them. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are God's Messiah."G1161G2036G846G1161G5101G3004G5210G3165G1511G1161G4074G611G2036G5547G2316

Jesus Speaks about His Suffering and Death

21Then Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell this to anyone.G1161G2008G846G3853G2036G3367G5124 22He also told them, "The Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law. He will be put to death, but three days later he will be raised to life."G2036G3754G5207G444G1163G3958G4183G2532G593G575G4245G2532G749G2532G1122G2532G615G2532G1453G5154G2250 23And he said to them all, "If you want to come with me, you must forget yourself, take up your cross every day, and follow me.G1161G3004G4314G3956G1536G2309G2064G3694G3450G533G1438G2532G142G846G4716G2250G2596G2532G190G3427 24For if you want to save your own life, you will lose it, but if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it.G1063G3739G302G2309G4982G846G5590G622G846G1161G3739G302G622G846G5590G1700G1752G3778G4982G846 25Will you gain anything if you win the whole world but are yourself lost or defeated? Of course not!G1063G5101G5623G444G5623G2770G3650G2889G1161G622G1438G2228G2210 26If you are ashamed of me and of my teaching, then the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.G1063G3739G302G1870G3165G2532G1699G3056G5126G1870G5207G444G1870G3752G2064G1722G846G1391G2532G3962G2532G40G32 27I assure you that there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Kingdom of God."G1161G3004G5213G230G1526G5100G2476G5602G3739G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G2316

The Transfiguration

28About a week after he had said these things, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a hill to pray.G1161G1096G5616G3638G2250G3326G5128G3056G2532G3880G4074G2532G2491G2532G2385G305G1519G3735G4336 29While he was praying, his face changed its appearance, and his clothes became dazzling white.G2532G1722G846G4336G1491G846G4383G1096G2087G2532G846G2441G3022G1823 30Suddenly two men were there talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah,G2532G2400G4814G846G1417G435G3748G2258G3475G2532G2243 31who appeared in heavenly glory and talked with Jesus about the way in which he would soon fulfill God's purpose by dying in Jerusalem.G3739G3700G1722G1391G3004G846G1841G3739G3195G4137G1722G2419 32Peter and his companions were sound asleep, but they woke up and saw Jesus' glory and the two men who were standing with him.G1161G4074G2532G4862G846G2258G916G5258G1161G1235G1492G846G1391G2532G1417G435G4921G846 33As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, how good it is that we are here! We will make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (He did not really know what he was saying.)G2532G1096G1722G846G1316G575G846G4074G2036G4314G2424G1988G2076G2570G2248G1511G5602G2532G4160G5140G4633G3391G4671G2532G3391G3475G2532G3391G2243G3361G1492G3739G3004 34While he was still speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them with its shadow; and the disciples were afraid as the cloud came over them.G1161G846G5023G3004G1096G3507G2532G1982G846G1161G5399G1722G1565G1525G1519G3507 35A voice said from the cloud, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen - -listen to him!"G2532G1096G5456G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G846 36When the voice stopped, there was Jesus all alone. The disciples kept quiet about all this and told no one at that time anything they had seen.G2532G5456G1722G1096G2424G2147G3441G2532G846G4601G2532G518G3762G1722G1565G2250G3762G3739G3708

Jesus Heals a Boy with an Evil Spirit

37The next day Jesus and the three disciples went down from the hill, and a large crowd met Jesus.G1161G1096G1722G1836G2250G846G2718G575G3735G4183G3793G4876G846 38A man shouted from the crowd, "Teacher! I beg you, look at my son - -my only son!G2532G2400G435G575G3793G310G3004G1320G1189G4675G1914G1909G3450G5207G3754G2076G3427G3439 39A spirit attacks him with a sudden shout and throws him into a fit, so that he foams at the mouth; it keeps on hurting him and will hardly let him go!G2532G2400G4151G2983G846G2532G1810G2896G2532G4682G846G876G3326G2532G4937G846G3425G672G575G846 40I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't."G2532G1189G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G1410G3756 41Jesus answered, "How unbelieving and wrong you people are! How long must I stay with you? How long do I have to put up with you?" Then he said to the man, "Bring your son here."G1161G2424G611G2036G5599G571G2532G1294G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2532G430G5216G4317G4675G5207G5602 42As the boy was coming, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a fit. Jesus gave a command to the evil spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.G1161G846G4334G2089G4334G1140G4486G846G4486G2532G4952G1161G2424G2008G169G4151G2532G2390G3816G2532G591G846G591G846G3962

Jesus Speaks Again about His Death

43All the people were amazed at the mighty power of God. The people were still marveling at everything Jesus was doing, when he said to his disciples,G1161G1605G3956G1605G1909G3168G2316G1161G2296G3956G1909G3956G3739G2424G4160G2036G4314G846G3101 44"Don't forget what I am about to tell you! The Son of Man is going to be handed over to the power of human beings."G5128G3056G5087G1519G5210G5216G3775G1063G5207G444G3195G3860G1519G5495G444 45But the disciples did not know what this meant. It had been hidden from them so that they could not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about the matter.G1161G50G5124G4487G2532G2258G3871G575G846G3363G143G846G3363G2532G5399G2065G846G4012G5127G4487

Who Is the Greatest?

46An argument broke out among the disciples as to which one of them was the greatest.G1161G1525G1261G1722G846G5101G302G846G1498G3187 47Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he took a child, stood him by his side,G1161G2424G1492G1261G846G2588G1949G3813G2476G846G3844G1438 48and said to them, "Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, also welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among you all is the greatest."G2532G2036G846G3739G1437G1209G5124G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G649G3165G1063G5225G3398G1722G5213G3956G3778G2071G3173

Whoever Is Not against You Is for You

49John spoke up, "Master, we saw a man driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn't belong to our group."G1161G2491G611G2036G1988G1492G5100G1544G1140G1909G4675G3686G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G3326G2257 50"Do not try to stop him," Jesus said to him and to the other disciples, "because whoever is not against you is for you."G2532G2424G2036G4314G846G2967G3361G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G2257

A Samaritan Village Refuses to Receive Jesus

51As the time drew near when Jesus would be taken up to heaven, he made up his mind and set out on his way to Jerusalem.G1161G1096G1722G2250G4845G846G354G2532G846G4741G846G4383G4198G1519G2419 52He sent messengers ahead of him, who went into a village in Samaria to get everything ready for him.G2532G649G32G4253G846G4383G2532G4198G1525G1519G2968G4541G5620G2090G846 53But the people there would not receive him, because it was clear that he was on his way to Jerusalem.G2532G1209G3756G1209G846G3754G846G4383G2258G4198G1519G2419 54When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"G1161G846G3101G2385G2532G2491G1492G2036G2962G2309G2036G4442G2597G575G3772G2532G355G846G2532G5613G2243G4160 55Jesus turned and rebuked them.G1161G4762G2008G846G2532G2036G1492G3756G3634G4151G5210G2075 56Then Jesus and his disciples went on to another village.G1063G5207G444G2064G3756G2064G622G444G5590G235G4982G2532G4198G1519G2087G2968

The Would-Be Followers of Jesus

57As they went on their way, a man said to Jesus, "I will follow you wherever you go."G1161G1096G846G4198G1722G3598G5100G2036G4314G846G2962G190G4671G3699G302G565 58Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lie down and rest."G2532G2424G2036G846G258G2192G5454G2532G4071G3772G2682G1161G5207G444G2192G3756G4226G2827G2776 59He said to another man, "Follow me." But that man said, "Sir, first let me go back and bury my father."G1161G2036G4314G2087G190G3427G1161G2036G2962G2010G3427G4412G565G2290G3450G3962 60Jesus answered, "Let the dead bury their own dead. You go and proclaim the Kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G3498G2290G1438G3498G1161G565G4771G1229G932G2316 61Someone else said, "I will follow you, sir; but first let me go and say good-bye to my family."G1161G2087G2532G2036G2962G190G4671G1161G2010G3427G4412G657G1519G3450G3624 62Jesus said to him, "Anyone who starts to plow and then keeps looking back is of no use for the Kingdom of God."G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3762G1911G846G5495G1909G723G2532G991G1519G3694G2076G2111G1519G932G2316
