mnt - Luke:9:1-36

mnt@Luke:9:1 @ Then he called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal;

mnt@Luke:9:2 @ and sent them out to preach the kingdom of God, and heal the sick.

mnt@Luke:9:3 @ And he said to them. "Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, and do not have two tunics.

mnt@Luke:9:4 @ "Into whatever house you enter, there stay, and thence depart.

mnt@Luke:9:5 @ "If any one will not receive you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave this town, as a testimony against them."

mnt@Luke:9:6 @ So they went forth, and walked from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

mnt@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod, the Tetrarch, heard of all that was happening; and he was perplexed because of its being said by someone that Johnwas risen from the dead;

mnt@Luke:9:8 @ and by some that Elijah had appeared; and by others that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.

mnt@Luke:9:9 @ So Herod said, "I beheaded John, but who is this of whom I am hearing such reports," And he kept seeking to see him.

mnt@Luke:9:10 @ On their return the apostles told him what they had done. and he took them and withdrew in private to a town called Bethsaida.

mnt@Luke:9:11 @ But when the crowd learned this they followed him. He received them kindly and spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed restored to good health.

mnt@Luke:9:12 @ But now the day began to decline, and the twelve came to him and said. "Send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and surrounding the country to lodge and buy provisions; for here we are on a solitary place."

mnt@Luke:9:13 @ "Do you yourselves give them food," he answered. "We have nothing," they replied "Except five loaves, and a couple fish, unless you mean for us to go and buy provisions for all the crowd."

mnt@Luke:9:14 @ (For there were about five thousand men.) "Make them sit down in table-companies, of about fifty each," he said to his disciples.

mnt@Luke:9:15 @ This they did, and made them all sit down.

mnt@Luke:9:16 @ Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up in heaven, he blessed them, broke them in pieces, and began to giving to his disciples to apportion among the crowd.

mnt@Luke:9:17 @ So they ate and were filled, all of them. And there was picked up that which remained over to them, of broken pieces, twelve basketfuls.

mnt@Luke:9:18 @ Now it happened that while he was praying by himself, the disciples were with him, and he asked them a question. "Who do the crowd think I am?"

mnt@Luke:9:19 @ "Johnthe Baptist," they answered, "But others say Elijah, and others that one of the ancient prophets is risen again."

mnt@Luke:9:20 @ Then he said to them, "But who do you say I am? Then Peter answered saying, "The Christ of God.

mnt@Luke:9:21 @ Then he strictly forbade them to tell this to any one;

mnt@Luke:9:22 @ and he said, "The Son of man must suffer much, and be restricted by the elders and high priests and scribes and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again."

mnt@Luke:9:23 @ And he said to all. "If any man wills to follow me, Let him renounce self and take up his cross daily and follow me.

mnt@Luke:9:24 @ "For whoever wills to save his life shall lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.

mnt@Luke:9:25 @ "For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose or forfeit himself?

mnt@Luke:9:26 @ "For whoever is ashamed of me and of my teachings, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his own and in his Fathers glory, and in that of the holy angels.

mnt@Luke:9:27 @ "But I tell you truly there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God."

mnt@Luke:9:28 @ About eight days after this it happened that Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and went up on the mountain to pray.

mnt@Luke:9:29 @ And as he was praying the appearances of his countenance became different, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

mnt@Luke:9:30 @ And suddenly there were two men talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah.

mnt@Luke:9:31 @ These appeared in glory and talked about his departure which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

mnt@Luke:9:32 @ Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but when they were fully awake they saw his glory, and the two men were standing beside him.

mnt@Luke:9:33 @ And when they were preparing to depart from him Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" - not knowing what he was saying.

mnt@Luke:9:34 @ And while he was saying this, there came a cloud and began to overshadow them; and they were awestruck as they entered into the cloud.

mnt@Luke:9:35 @ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my chosen one; listen to him."

mnt@Luke:9:36 @ When the voice ceased Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no one at that time about what they had seen.
