Then he called
his
twelve
disciples
together
, and
gave
them
power
and authority
over
all
devils
, and
to cure
diseases
.
And he sent
them
to preach
the kingdom
of God
, and
to heal
the sick
.
And he said
unto
them
, Take
nothing
for
your journey
, neither
staves
, nor
scrip
, neither
bread
, neither
money
; neither
have
two
coats
apiece
.
And whatsoever
house
ye enter
into
, there
abide
, and
thence
depart
.
And whosoever
will
not
receive
you
, when ye go
out of
that
city
, shake off
the very
dust
from
your
feet
for
a testimony
against
them
.
And they departed
, and went
through
the towns
, preaching the gospel
, and
healing
every where
.
Now Herod
the tetrarch
heard
of all
that was done
by
him
: and
he was perplexed
, because
that it was said
of
some
, that
John
was risen
from
the dead
;
And of
some
, that
Elias
had appeared
; and
of others
, that
one
of the old
prophets
was risen again
.
And Herod
said
, John
have
I
beheaded
: but
who
is
this
, of
whom
I
hear
such things
? And
he desired
to see
him
.
And the apostles
, when they were returned
, told
him
all that
they had done
. And
he took
them
, and went aside
privately
into
a desert
place
belonging to the city
called
Bethsaida
.
And the people
, when they knew
it , followed
him
: and
he received
them
, and spake
unto them
of
the kingdom
of God
, and
healed
them that had
need
of healing
.
And when the day
began
to wear away
, then
came
the twelve
, and said
unto him
, Send
the multitude
away
, that
they may go
into
the towns
and
country
round about
, and lodge
, and
get
victuals
: for
we are
here
in
a desert
place
.
But he said
unto
them
, Give
ye
them
to eat
. And
they said
, We
have no
more
but
five
loaves
and
two
fishes
; except
we
should go
and buy
meat
for
all
this
people
.
For they were
about
five thousand
men
. And
he said
to
his
disciples
, Make
them
sit down
by
fifties
in a company
.
And they did
so
, and
made
them all
sit down
.
Then he took
the five
loaves
and
the two
fishes
, and looking up
to
heaven
, he blessed
them
, and
brake
, and
gave
to the disciples
to set before
the multitude
.
And they did eat
, and
were
all
filled
: and
there was taken up
of fragments
that remained
to them
twelve
baskets
.
And it came to pass
, as
he was
alone
praying
, his
disciples
were with
him
: and
he asked
them
, saying
, Whom
say
the people
that I
am
?
They answering
said
, John
the Baptist
; but
some
say , Elias
; and
others
say , that
one
of the old
prophets
is risen again
.
He said
unto them
, But
whom
say
ye
that I
am
?
Peter
answering
said
, The Christ
of God
.
And he straitly charged
them
, and commanded
them to tell
no man
that thing
;
Saying,
The Son
of man
must
suffer
many things
, and
be rejected
of
the elders
and
chief priests
and
scribes
, and
be slain
, and
be raised
the third
day
.
And he said
to
them all
, If any man
will
come
after
me
, let him deny
himself
, and
take up
his
cross
daily
, and
follow
me
.
For whosoever
will
save
his
life
shall lose
it
: but
whosoever
will lose
his
life
for my
sake
, the same
shall save
it
.
For what
is
a man
advantaged
, if he gain
the whole
world
, and
lose
himself
, or
be cast away
?
For whosoever
shall be ashamed
of me
and
of my
words
, of him
shall
the Son
of man
be ashamed
, when
he shall come
in
his own
glory
, and
in his Father's
, and
of the holy
angels
.
But I tell
you
of a truth
, there be
some
standing
here
, which
shall
not
taste
of death
, till
they see
the kingdom
of God
.
And it came to pass
about
an eight
days
after
these
sayings
,
he took
Peter
and
John
and
James
, and went up
into
a mountain
to pray
.
And as
he
prayed
, the fashion
of his
countenance
was
altered
, and
his
raiment
was white
and glistering
.
And, behold
, there talked
with him
two
men
, which
were
Moses
and
Elias
:
Who appeared
in
glory
, and spake
of his
decease
which
he should
accomplish
at
Jerusalem
.
But Peter
and
they that were with
him
were
heavy
with sleep
: and
when they were awake
, they saw
his
glory
, and
the two
men
that stood with
him
.
And it came to pass
, as
they
departed
from
him
, Peter
said
unto
Jesus
, Master
, it is
good
for us
to be
here
: and
let us make
three
tabernacles
; one for
thee
, and
one for
Moses
, and
one for
Elias
: not
knowing
what
he said
.
While he
thus
spake
, there came
a cloud
, and
overshadowed
them
: and
they feared
as
they
entered
into
the cloud
.
And there came
a voice
out of
the cloud
, saying
, This
is
my
beloved
Son
: hear
him
.
And when the voice
was past
, Jesus
was found
alone
. And
they
kept it close
, and
told
no man
in
those
days
any
of those things which
they had seen
.
And it came to pass
, that on
the next
day
, when they
were come down
from
the hill
, much
people
met
him
.
And, behold
, a man
of
the company
cried out
, saying
, Master
, I beseech
thee
, look
upon
my
son
: for
he is
mine
only child
.
And, lo
, a spirit
taketh
him
, and
he suddenly
crieth out
; and
it teareth
him
that he foameth
again
, and
bruising
him
hardly
departeth
from
him
.
And I besought
thy
disciples
to
cast
him
out
; and
they could
not
.
And Jesus
answering
said
, O
faithless
and
perverse
generation
, how
long
shall I be
with
you
, and
suffer
you
? Bring
thy
son
hither
.
And as he
was
yet
a coming
, the devil
threw
him
down
, and
tare
him . And
Jesus
rebuked
the unclean
spirit
, and
healed
the child
, and
delivered
him
again
to his
father
.
And they were
all
amazed
at
the mighty power
of God
. But
while they wondered
every one
at
all things
which
Jesus
did
, he said
unto
his
disciples
,
Let these sayings
sink down
into
your
ears
: for
the Son
of man
shall be
delivered
into
the hands
of men
.
But they understood not
this
saying
, and
it was
hid
from
them
, that
they perceived
it
not
: and
they feared
to ask
him
of
that
saying
.
Then there arose
a reasoning
among
them
, which
of them
should be
greatest
.
And Jesus
, perceiving
the thought
of their
heart
, took
a child
, and set
him
by
him
,
And said
unto them
, Whosoever
shall receive
this
child
in
my
name
receiveth
me
: and
whosoever
shall receive
me
receiveth him
that sent
me
: for
he that is
least
among
you
all
, the same
shall be
great
.
And John
answered
and said
, Master
, we saw
one
casting out
devils
in
thy
name
; and
we forbad
him
, because
he followeth
not
with
us
.
And Jesus
said
unto
him
, Forbid
him not
: for
he
that is
not
against
us
is
for
us
.
And it came to pass
, when
the time
was come
that he
should be received up
,
he
stedfastly set
his
face
to go
to
Jerusalem
,
And sent
messengers
before
his
face
: and
they went
, and entered
into
a village
of the Samaritans
, to
make ready
for him
.
And they did
not
receive
him
, because
his
face
was
as though he would go
to
Jerusalem
.
And when his
disciples
James
and
John
saw
this , they said
, Lord
, wilt thou
that we command
fire
to come down
from
heaven
, and
consume
them
, even
as
Elias
did
?
But he turned
, and rebuked
them
, and
said
, Ye know
not
what manner
of spirit
ye
are of
.
For the Son
of man
is
not
come
to destroy
men's
lives
, but
to save
them . And
they went
to
another
village
.
And it came to pass
, that, as they
went
in
the way
, a certain
man said
unto
him
, Lord
, I will follow
thee
whithersoever
thou goest
.
And Jesus
said
unto him
, Foxes
have
holes
, and
birds
of the air
have nests
; but
the Son
of man
hath
not
where
to lay
his head
.
And he said
unto
another
, Follow
me
. But
he said
, Lord
, suffer
me
first
to go
and bury
my
father
.
Jesus
said
unto him
, Let
the dead
bury
their
dead
: but
go
thou
and preach
the kingdom
of God
.
And another
also
said
, Lord
, I will follow
thee
; but
let
me
first
go bid them farewell
, which are at home at
my
house
.
And Jesus
said
unto
him
, No man
, having put
his
hand
to
the plough
, and
looking
back
, is
fit
for
the kingdom
of God
.
