Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles
1 aAnd he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2 band he sent them out to cproclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. 3 dAnd he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, eno staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. ▼▼Greek chiton, a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin
4And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town gshake off the dust from your feet has a testimony iagainst them.” 6 jAnd they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere. Herod Is Perplexed by Jesus
7 kNow lHerod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that mJohn had been raised from the dead, 8 nby some that Elijah had appeared, and oby others that one of the prophets of old had risen. 9Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And phe sought to see him.Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
10On their return qthe apostles told him all that they had done. rAnd he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. 11When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he swelcomed them and tspoke to them of the kingdom of God and ucured those who had need of healing. 12Now vthe day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, w“Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.” 13But he said to them, x“You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than yfive loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” 14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16And taking the five loaves and the two fish, zhe looked up to heaven and aasaid a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
18 abNow it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19And they answered, ac“John the Baptist. But others say, adElijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” 20Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, ae“The Christ of God.”Jesus Foretells His Death
21 afAnd he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 agsaying, ah“The Son of Man must aisuffer many things and ajbe rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on akthe third day be raised.”Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus
23And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him aldeny himself and amtake up his cross andaily and follow me. 24For aowhoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 apFor what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26For aqwhoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed arwhen he comes in ashis glory and the glory of the Father and of atthe holy angels. 27But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not autaste death avuntil they see the kingdom of God.”The Transfiguration
28 awNow about eight days after these sayings he took with him axPeter and John and James and aywent up on the mountain to pray. 29And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was azaltered, and bahis clothing became dazzling white. 30And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, 31who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, ▼▼Greek exodus
which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32Now Peter and those who were with him bcwere heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake bdthey saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three betents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”— bfnot knowing what he said. 34As he was saying these things, bga cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35And bha voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, bimy Chosen One; ▼▼Some manuscripts my Beloved
bklisten to him!” 36And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. blAnd they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen. Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit
37 bmOn the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. 38And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for bnhe is my only child. 39And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. 40And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but bothey could not.” 41Jesus answered, “O bpfaithless and twisted generation, bqhow long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus brrebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and bsgave him back to his father. 43And all were astonished at btthe majesty of God.Jesus Again Foretells His Death
buBut while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus ▼▼Greek he
said bwto his disciples, 44“Let these words sink into your ears: bxThe Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.” 45 byBut they did not understand this saying, and bzit was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying. Who Is the Greatest?
46 caAn argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. 47But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side 48and said to them, cb“Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and ccwhoever receives me receives him who sent me. For cdhe who is least among you all is the one who is great.”Anyone Not Against Us Is For Us
49 ceJohn answered, “Master, we saw someone cfcasting out demons in your name, and cgwe tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.” 50But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, chfor the one who is not against you is for you.”A Samaritan Village Rejects Jesus
51When the days drew near for cihim to be taken up, cjhe set his face ckto go to Jerusalem. 52And clhe sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of cmthe Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53But cnthe people did not receive him, because cohis face was set toward Jerusalem. 54And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell cpfire to come down from heaven and consume them?” ▼▼Some manuscripts add as Elijah did
55But he turned and rebuked them. ▼▼Some manuscripts add and he said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man came not to destroy people’s lives but to save them”
56And they went on to another village. The Cost of Following Jesus
57As they were going csalong the road, ctsomeone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58And 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.” 59To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60And Jesus ▼▼Greek he
said to him, “Leave cvthe dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and cwproclaim the kingdom of God.” 61Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, cxbut let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62Jesus said to him, cy“No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
