< Luke 9 >

1 And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure sicknesses,
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 to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal the ailing.
And hee sent them foorth to preach the kingdome of God, and to cure the sicke.
3 And he said unto them, 'Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;
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 may enter, there remain, and thence depart;
And whatsoeuer house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for 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 going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing 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 the things being done by him, and was perplexed, because it was said by certain, that John hath been raised out of 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 certain, that Elijah did appear, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;
And of some, that Elias had appeared: and of some, that one of the olde Prophets was risen againe.
9 and Herod said, 'John I did behead, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?' and he was seeking 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 having turned back, declared to him how great things they did, and having taken them, he withdrew by himself to a desert place of 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 and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured.
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 the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, said to him, 'Let away the multitude, that having gone to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are 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 And he said unto them, 'Give ye them to eat;' and they said, 'We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;'
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 for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, 'Cause them to recline in companies, in each 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 all to recline;
And they did so, and caused all to sit downe.
16 and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and was giving 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 did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, 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 is praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he questioned them, saying, 'Who do the multitudes say me to be?'
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 a prophet, one of the ancients, was 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, 'And ye — who do ye say me to be?' 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 And having charged them, he commanded [them] to say this to no one,
And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell that to no man,
22 saying — 'It behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.'
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 unto all, 'If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown 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 may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall 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, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?
For what auantageth it a man, if he win the whole worlde, and destroy himselfe, or lose himselfe?
26 'For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father's, and the holy messengers';
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 say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign 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, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to 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 it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white — sparkling.
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was changed, and his garment was white and glistered.
30 And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
And beholde, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elias:
31 who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem,
Which appeared in glory, and tolde of his departing, which he shoulde accomplish at Hierusalem.
32 but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing 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, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, 'Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith:
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 and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into 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 a voice came out of the cloud saying, 'This is My Son — the Beloved; hear ye him;'
And there came a voyce out of the cloud, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, heare him.
36 and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have 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 on the next day, they having come down from the mount, there met him a great multitude,
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, because he is my only begotten;
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 doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him,
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 that they might cast it out, and they were not able.'
Nowe I haue besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;'
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 as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore [him] sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back 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 greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto 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 'Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to 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 And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
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 entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them?
Then there arose a disputation among them, which of them should be the greatest.
47 and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself,
When Iesus sawe the thoughtes of their heartes, he tooke a litle childe, and set him by him,
48 and said to them, 'Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all — he shall be 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 a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;'
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 and Jesus said unto him, 'Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'
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, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on 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 his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of 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 going on to Jerusalem.
But they woulde not receiue him, because his behauiour was, as though he would go to Hierusalem.
54 And his disciples James and John having seen, said, 'Sir, wilt thou [that] we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?'
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 and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, 'Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;
But Iesus turned about, and rebuked them, and said, Ye knowe not of what spirit ye are.
56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on 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 it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, 'I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;'
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 fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the 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 unto another, 'Be following me;' and he said, 'Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to 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 Jesus said to him, 'Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign 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, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those 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 unto him, 'No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign 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.
