1 Then he called his twelve dis­ci­ples to­geth­er, and gave them pow­er and au­thor­i­ty over all dev­ils, and to cure dis­eases. 2 And he sent them to preach the king­dom of God, and to heal the sick. 3 And he said unto them, Take noth­ing for your jour­ney, nei­ther staves, nor scrip, nei­ther bread, nei­ther mon­ey; nei­ther have two coats apiece. 4 And what­so­ev­er house ye en­ter in­to, there abide, and thence de­part. 5 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. 6 And they de­part­ed, and went through the towns, preach­ing the gospel, and heal­ing ev­ery where. 7 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; 8 And of some, that Elias had ap­peared; and of oth­ers, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 9 And Herod said, John have I be­head­ed: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he de­sired to see him. 10 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. 11 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. 12 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. 13 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. 14 For they were about five thou­sand men. And he said to his dis­ci­ples, Make them sit down by fifties in a com­pa­ny. 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16 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. 17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was tak­en up of frag­ments that re­mained to them twelve bas­kets. 18 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? 19 They an­swer­ing said, John the Bap­tist; but some say, Elias; and oth­ers say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. 20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Pe­ter an­swer­ing said, The Christ of God. 21 And he strait­ly charged them, and com­mand­ed them to tell no man that thing; 22 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. 23 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. 24 For whoso­ev­er will save his life shall lose it: but whoso­ev­er will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man ad­van­taged, if he gain the whole world, and lose him­self, or be cast away? 26 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. 27 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. 28 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. 29 And as he prayed, the fash­ion of his coun­te­nance was al­tered, and his rai­ment was white and glis­ter­ing. 30 And, be­hold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31 Who ap­peared in glo­ry, and spake of his de­cease which he should ac­com­plish at Jerusalem. 32 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. 33 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. 34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and over­shad­owed them: and they feared as they en­tered into the cloud. 35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, say­ing, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 36 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. 37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much peo­ple met him. 38 And, be­hold, a man of the com­pa­ny cried out, say­ing, Mas­ter, I be­seech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. 39 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. 40 And I be­sought thy dis­ci­ples to cast him out; and they could not. 41 And Je­sus an­swer­ing said, O faith­less and per­verse gen­er­a­tion, how long shall I be with you, and suf­fer you? Bring thy son hith­er. 42 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. 43 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, 44 Let these say­ings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be de­liv­ered into the hands of men. 45 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. 46 Then there arose a rea­son­ing among them, which of them should be great­est. 47 And Je­sus, per­ceiv­ing the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 48 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. 49 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. 50 And Je­sus said unto him, For­bid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. 51 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, 52 And sent mes­sen­gers be­fore his face: and they went, and en­tered into a vil­lage of the Samar­i­tans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not re­ceive him, be­cause his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 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? 55 But he turned, and re­buked them, and said, Ye know not what man­ner of spir­it ye are of. 56 For the Son of man is not come to de­stroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to an­oth­er vil­lage. 57 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. 58 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. 59 And he said unto an­oth­er, Fol­low me. But he said, Lord, suf­fer me first to go and bury my fa­ther. 60 Je­sus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the king­dom of God. 61 And an­oth­er also said, Lord, I will fol­low thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 And Je­sus said unto him, No man, hav­ing put his hand to the plough, and look­ing back, is fit for the king­dom of God.
