< Luke 9 >
1 And he called together the twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Then called hee his twelue disciples together, and gaue them power and authoritie ouer all deuils, and to heale diseases.
2 And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal.
And hee sent them foorth to preach the kingdome of God, and to cure the sicke.
3 And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece.
And he sayd to them, Take nothing to your iourney, neither staues, nor scrip, neither bread, nor siluer, neither haue two coates apiece.
4 And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and from it take your departure.
And whatsoeuer house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whoever shall not receive you, shake off, when ye leave that city, even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.
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.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns publishing the glad tidings, and performing cures everywhere.
And they went out, and went through euery towne preaching the Gospel, and healing euery where.
7 And Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was taking place, and was perplexed; because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead;
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:
8 and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets had risen.
And of some, that Elias had appeared: and of some, that one of the olde Prophets was risen againe.
9 But Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
Then Herod sayd, Iohn haue I beheaded: who then is this of whome I heare such things? and he desired to see him.
10 And the apostles returned and told him what they had done; and taking them with him, he withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.
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.
11 But the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
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.
12 And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages around, and the open country, and lodge, and get food; for we are here in a desert place.
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.
13 But he said to them, Do ye give them food. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we ourselves should go and buy food for l all these people.
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.
14 They were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them lie down in companies of fifty.
For they were about fiue thousand men. Then he sayde to his disciples, Cause them to sit downe by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all lie down.
And they did so, and caused all to sit downe.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
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.
17 And they ate, and were all filled; and what remained to them of fragments was taken up, twelve baskets.
So they did all eate, and were satisfied: and there was taken vp of that remained to them, twelue baskets full of broken meate.
18 And it came to pass as he was in a private place praying, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?
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?
19 And they answering said, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets hath risen.
They answered, and sayd, Iohn Baptist: and others say, Elias: and some say, that one of the olde Prophets is risen againe.
20 And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
And he sayd vnto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered, and sayd, That Christ of God.
21 But he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no one;
And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell that to no man,
22 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 rise again on the third day.
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.
23 And he said to all, If any one chooseth to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
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.
24 For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; and whoever loseth his life for my sake, he will save it.
For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall saue it.
25 For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit himself?
For what auantageth it a man, if he win the whole worlde, and destroy himselfe, or lose himselfe?
26 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when be cometh in his glory, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.
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.
27 And I tell you in truth, that there are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.
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.
28 And it came to pass about eight days after this discourse, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.
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.
29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment became white and glistening.
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was changed, and his garment was white and glistered.
30 And lo! two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah;
And beholde, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elias:
31 who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.
Which appeared in glory, and tolde of his departing, which he shoulde accomplish at Hierusalem.
32 But Peter and those who were with him were weighed down with sleep. But when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
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.
33 And it came to pass 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 tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; —not knowing what he said.
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.
34 But as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
Whiles he thus spake, there came a cloude and ouershadowed them, and they feared when they were entring into the cloude.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is my chosen Son; hear him.”
And there came a voyce out of the cloud, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, heare him.
36 And when the voice had come, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret, and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
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.
37 And it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
And it came to passe on the next day, as they came downe from the mountaine, much people met him.
38 And lo! a man from the multitude cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child;
And beholde, a man of the companie cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, beholde my sonne: for he is all that I haue.
39 and lo! a spirit seizeth him, and suddenly crieth out, and convulseth him so that he foameth, and it departeth from him hardly, taking away all his strength.
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.
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast it out, and they could not.
Nowe I haue besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring thy son hither.
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.
42 And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.
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.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,
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,
44 As for you, let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.
Marke these wordes diligently: for it shall come to passe, that the Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men.
45 But they knew not the meaning of these words, and it was hidden from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about these words.
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.
46 And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was greatest.
Then there arose a disputation among them, which of them should be the greatest.
47 And Jesus knowing the reasoning of their heart, took a child and set him by his side,
When Iesus sawe the thoughtes of their heartes, he tooke a litle childe, and set him by him,
48 and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. For he that is least among you all, he is great.
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.
49 And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow in our company.
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.
50 But Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against you is for you.
Then Iesus saide vnto him, Forbid ye him not: for he that is not against vs, is with vs.
51 And it came to pass, when the time was near for his being received up, that he himself steadily set his face to go to Jerusalem.
And it came to passe, when the dayes were accomplished, that he should be receiued vp, he setled himselfe fully to goe to Hierusalem,
52 And he sent messengers before him; and they went and entered a city of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
And sent messengers before him: and they went and entred into a towne of the Samaritans, to prepare him lodging.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as if he were going to Jerusalem.
But they woulde not receiue him, because his behauiour was, as though he would go to Hierusalem.
54 And the disciples James and John, on seeing it, said, Lord, wilt thou have us bid fire come down from heaven, and consume them?
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?
55 But he turned and rebuked them.
But Iesus turned about, and rebuked them, and said, Ye knowe not of what spirit ye are.
56 And they went to another village.
For the Sonne of man is not come to destroy mens liues, but to saue them. Then they went to another towne.
57 And as they were traveling on the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.
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.
58 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have lodging-places; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
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.
59 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Suffer me first to go and bury my father.
But he said vnto another, Followe me. And the same said, Lord, suffer me first to goe and burie my father.
60 And he said to him, Let the dead bury their own dead; but go thou and carry the tidings of the kingdom of God.
And Iesus said vnto him, Let the dead burie their dead: but go thou, and preache the kingdome of God.
61 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to those who are in my house.
Then another saide, I will follow thee, Lord: but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at mine house.
62 And Jesus said to him, No one who looketh back after putting his hand to the plough is fit for the kingdom of God.
And Iesus saide vnto him, No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh backe, is apt to the kingdome of God.
