Luke 9
1 Then called hee his twelue disciples together, and gaue them power and authoritie ouer all deuils, and to heale diseases.
And He called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases:
2 And hee sent them foorth to preach the kingdome of God, and to cure the sicke.
and He sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he sayd to them, Take nothing to your iourney, neither staues, nor scrip, neither bread, nor siluer, neither haue two coates apiece.
And He said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor two coats a piece.
4 And whatsoeuer house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
And into whatever house ye enter, continue there, till ye leave that place.
5 And howe many so euer will not receiue you, when ye goe out of that citie, shake off the very dust from your feete for a testimonie against them.
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye depart from that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.
6 And they went out, and went through euery towne preaching the Gospel, and healing euery where.
And they went from town to town, preaching the gospel and healing every where.
7 Nowe Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he douted, because that it was sayd of some, that Iohn was risen againe from the dead:
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done by Him; and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared: and of some, that one of the olde Prophets was risen againe.
and by some that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.
9 Then Herod sayd, Iohn haue I beheaded: who then is this of whome I heare such things? and he desired to see him.
And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? and he wanted to see Him.
10 And when the Apostles returned, they tolde him what great things they had done. Then he tooke them to him, and went aside into a solitarie place, neere to the citie called Bethsaida.
And the apostles; when they were returned, told Him all that they had done: and He took them and retired privately into a desert place belonging to the city Bethsaida.
11 But when the people knewe it, they followed him: and he receiued them, and spake vnto them of the kingdome of God, and healed them that had neede to be healed.
But when the people knew it they followed Him; and He received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those that had need of a cure.
12 And when the day began to weare away, the twelue came, and sayd vnto him, Sende the people away, that they may goe into the townes and villages round about, and lodge, and get meate: for we are here in a desart place.
And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the people, that they may go into the villages and country-places round about, and bait, and get food: for here we are in a desert place.
13 But he sayd vnto them, Giue ye them to eate. And they sayd, We haue no more but fiue loaues and two fishes, except we should go and buy meate for all this people.
But He said unto them, Do ye give them food. And they said, We have but five loaves and two fishes: unless we should go and buy provisions for all this people:
14 For they were about fiue thousand men. Then he sayde to his disciples, Cause them to sit downe by fifties in a company.
for they were about five thousand men. And He said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifty.
15 And they did so, and caused all to sit downe.
And they did so, and caused them all to sit down.
16 Then he tooke the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen, and blessed them, and brake, and gaue to the disciples, to set before the people.
And He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven He blessed them; and brake and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 So they did all eate, and were satisfied: and there was taken vp of that remained to them, twelue baskets full of broken meate.
And they did eat, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up what remained even of fragments twelve baskets.
18 And it came to passe, as hee was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
And it came to pass, as He was praying in private, his disciples were with Him: and He asked them saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answered, and sayd, Iohn Baptist: and others say, Elias: and some say, that one of the olde Prophets is risen againe.
They answering said, John the baptist: but others say Elias: and others, that some ancient prophet is risen again.
20 And he sayd vnto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered, and sayd, That Christ of God.
And He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answered and said, The Christ the Son of God.
21 And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell that to no man,
But He strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 Saying, The Sonne of man must suffer many things and be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priests and Scribes, and be slaine, and the third day rise againe.
saying, the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be put to death, and be raised again the third day.
23 And he sayd to them all, If any man will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse dayly, and follow me.
And He said unto them all, if any one is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me:
24 For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall saue it.
for he that would save his life shall lose it, but he that would lose his life for my sake shall save it.
25 For what auantageth it a man, if he win the whole worlde, and destroy himselfe, or lose himselfe?
For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be destroyed?
26 For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of me, and of my wordes, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed, when hee shall come in his glorie, and in the glorie of the Father, and of the holy Angels.
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He comes in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27 And I tell you of a suretie, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they haue seene the kingdome of God.
And I assure you, there be some of those who stand here, that shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to passe about an eyght dayes after those wordes, that he tooke Peter and Iohn, and Iames, and went vp into a mountaine to pray.
About eight days after these discourses, He took Peter, and John, and James, and went up to a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was changed, and his garment was white and glistered.
And as He was praying the form of his countenance was altered, and his raiment white and glistering:
30 And beholde, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elias:
and behold two men talked with Him, which were Moses and Elias;
31 Which appeared in glory, and tolde of his departing, which he shoulde accomplish at Hierusalem.
who appeared in glory, and spake of his exit, which He was to make at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him, were heauie with sleepe, and when they awoke, they saw his glorie, and the two men standing with him.
Now Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep; but being awakened they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with Him.
33 And it came to passe, as they departed from him, Peter said vnto Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: let vs therefore make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias, and wist not what he said.
And as they were departing from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 Whiles he thus spake, there came a cloude and ouershadowed them, and they feared when they were entring into the cloude.
And as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they went up into the cloud and disappeared.
35 And there came a voyce out of the cloud, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, heare him.
And there came a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him.
36 And when the voyce was past, Iesus was found alone: and they kept it close, and tolde no man in those dayes any of those things which they had seene.
And when the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it to themselves, and told no one at that time any of the things which they had seen.
37 And it came to passe on the next day, as they came downe from the mountaine, much people met him.
And the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him:
38 And beholde, a man of the companie cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, beholde my sonne: for he is all that I haue.
and one of the people cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is my only child;
39 And loe, a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and he teareth him, that he fometh, and hardly departeth from him, when he hath bruised him.
and lo, a spirit seizeth him, and all on a sudden he screameth, and it convulses him with foaming; and bruising him, with much ado departs from him.
40 Nowe I haue besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not.
And I prayed thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
41 Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, howe long now shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring thy sonne hither.
Then Jesus answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring thy son hither.
42 And whiles he was yet comming, the deuill rent him, and tare him: and Iesus rebuked the vncleane spirite, and healed the childe, and deliuered him to his father.
And as he was coming along, the devil bruised and convulsed him: but Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.
43 And they were all amased at the mightie power of God: and while they all wondered at al things, which Iesus did, he said vnto his disciples,
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God: but while they were all wondering at the things which Jesus did, He said to his disciples,
44 Marke these wordes diligently: for it shall come to passe, that the Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men.
Receive these words into your ears; for the Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.
45 But they vnderstood not that word: for it was hid from them, so that they could not perceiue it: and they feared to aske him of that worde.
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not, and they were afraid to ask Him concerning it.
46 Then there arose a disputation among them, which of them should be the greatest.
Then a dispute rose among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 When Iesus sawe the thoughtes of their heartes, he tooke a litle childe, and set him by him,
And Jesus knowing the thought of their heart, took a child and set him by Him, and said unto them,
48 And said vnto them, Whosoeuer receiueth this litle childe in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer shall receiue me, receiueth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, he shall be great.
Whosoever shall receive this little child for my sake, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me. For he that is lest among you all, shall be great.
49 And Iohn answered and saide, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils in thy Name, and we forbad him, because he followeth thee not with vs.
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he followeth not thee with us.
50 Then Iesus saide vnto him, Forbid ye him not: for he that is not against vs, is with vs.
And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not; for he, that is not against us, is for us.
51 And it came to passe, when the dayes were accomplished, that he should be receiued vp, he setled himselfe fully to goe to Hierusalem,
And it came to pass, as the days were almost fulfilled of his being received up again into heaven, that He set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And sent messengers before him: and they went and entred into a towne of the Samaritans, to prepare him lodging.
and sent messengers before Him: who went into a village of the Samaritans to get a place ready for Him.
53 But they woulde not receiue him, because his behauiour was, as though he would go to Hierusalem.
But they would not entertain Him, because his face was towards Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples, Iames and Iohn sawe it, they saide, Lord, wilt thou that we commaund, that fire come downe from heauen, and consume them, euen as Elias did?
And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did?
55 But Iesus turned about, and rebuked them, and said, Ye knowe not of what spirit ye are.
But He turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of:
56 For the Sonne of man is not come to destroy mens liues, but to saue them. Then they went to another towne.
for the Son of man came not to destroy mens lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57 And it came to passe that as they went in the way, a certaine man said vnto him, I will follow thee, Lord, whithersoeuer thou goest.
And as they were going by the way, there was one said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest:
58 And Iesus saide vnto him, The foxes haue holes, and the birdes of the heauen nestes, but the Sonne of man hath not whereon to lay his head.
and Jesus answered him, The foxes have holes, and the fowls of heaven their nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59 But he said vnto another, Followe me. And the same said, Lord, suffer me first to goe and burie my father.
And He said to another, Follow me: but he said, Lord, permit me to go first and bury my father:
60 And Iesus said vnto him, Let the dead burie their dead: but go thou, and preache the kingdome of God.
but Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 Then another saide, I will follow thee, Lord: but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at mine house.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee, but allow me first to go and take my leave of my family.
62 And Iesus saide vnto him, No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh backe, is apt to the kingdome of God.
But Jesus said unto him, No one, that hath put his hand to the plough and looketh back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
