nasb @Luke:9:1 @And He called the twelve together , and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases . nasb @Luke:9:2 @And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing . nasb @Luke:9:3 @And He said to them , " Take nothing for your journey , neither a staff , nor a bag , nor bread , nor money ; and do not even have two tunics apiece . nasb @Luke:9:4 " @Whatever house you enter , stay there until you leave that city . nasb @Luke:9:5 " @And as for those who do not receive you , as you go out from that city , shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them ." nasb @Luke:9:6 @Departing , they began going throughout the villages , preaching the gospel and healing everywhere . nasb @Luke:9:7 @Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was happening ; and he was greatly perplexed , because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead , nasb @Luke:9:8 @and by some that Elijah had appeared , and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen again . nasb @Luke:9:9 @Herod said , "I myself had John beheaded ; but who is this man about whom I hear such things ?" And he kept trying to see Him . nasb @Luke:9:10 @When the apostles returned , they gave an account to Him of all that they had done . Taking them with Him , He withdrew by Himself to a city called Bethsaida . nasb @Luke:9:11 @But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him ; and welcoming them , He began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing . nasb @Luke:9:12 @Now the day was ending , and the twelve came and said to Him , "Send the crowd away , that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to eat ; for here we are in a desolate place ." nasb @Luke:9:13 @But He said to them , "You give them something to eat !" And they said , "We have no more than five loaves and two fish , unless perhaps we go and buy food for all these people ." nasb @Luke:9:14 @(For there were about five thousand men .) And He said to His disciples , "Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each ." nasb @Luke:9:15 @They did so , and had them all sit down . nasb @Luke:9:16 @Then He took the five loaves and the two fish , and looking up to heaven , He blessed them , and broke them , and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people . nasb @Luke:9:17 @And they all ate and were satisfied ; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up , twelve baskets full . nasb @Luke:9:18 @And it happened that while He was praying alone , the disciples were with Him , and He questioned them , saying , "Who do the people say that I am ?" nasb @Luke:9:19 @They answered and said , "John the Baptist , and others say Elijah ; but others , that one of the prophets of old has risen again ." nasb @Luke:9:20 @And He said to them , "But who do you say that I am ?" And Peter answered and said , " The Christ of God ." nasb @Luke:9:21 @But He warned them and instructed them not to tell this to anyone , nasb @Luke:9:22 @saying , " The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes , and be killed and be raised up on the third day ." nasb @Luke:9:23 @And He was saying to them all , " If anyone wishes to come after Me , he must deny himself , and take up his cross daily and follow Me . nasb @Luke:9:24 " @For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it , but whoever loses his life for My sake , he is the one who will save it . nasb @Luke:9:25 " @For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world , and loses or forfeits himself ? nasb @Luke:9:26 " @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words , the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory , and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels . nasb @Luke:9:27 " @But I say to you truthfully , there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God ." nasb @Luke:9:28 @Some eight days after these sayings , He took along Peter and John and James , and went up on the mountain to pray . nasb @Luke:9:29 @And while He was praying , the appearance of His face became different , and His clothing became white and gleaming . nasb @Luke:9:30 @And behold , two men were talking with Him ; and they were Moses and Elijah , nasb @Luke:9:31 @who , appearing in glory , were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem . nasb @Luke:9:32 @Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep ; but when they were fully awake , they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him . nasb @Luke:9:33 @And as these were leaving Him , Peter said to Jesus , " Master , it is good for us to be here ; let us make three tabernacles - one for You , and one for Moses , and one for Elijah "-- not realizing what he was saying . nasb @Luke:9:34 @While he was saying this , a cloud formed and began to overshadow them ; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud . nasb @Luke:9:35 @Then a voice came out of the cloud , saying , " This is My Son , My Chosen One ; listen to Him !" nasb @Luke:9:36 @And when the voice had spoken , Jesus was found alone . And they kept silent , and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen . nasb @Luke:9:37 @On the next day , when they came down from the mountain , a large crowd met Him . nasb @Luke:9:38 @And a man from the crowd shouted , saying , "Teacher , I beg You to look at my son , for he is my only boy , nasb @Luke:9:39 @and a spirit seizes him , and he suddenly screams , and it throws him into a convulsion with foaming at the mouth ; and only with difficulty does it leave him , mauling him as it leaves . nasb @Luke:9:40 " @I begged Your disciples to cast it out , and they could not ." nasb @Luke:9:41 @And Jesus answered and said , "You unbelieving and perverted generation , how long shall I be with you and put up with you ? Bring your son here ." nasb @Luke:9:42 @While he was still approaching , the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion . But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit , and healed the boy and gave him back to his father . nasb @Luke:9:43 @And they were all amazed at the greatness of God . But while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing , He said to His disciples , nasb @Luke:9:44 " @Let these words sink into your ears ; for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men ." nasb @Luke:9:45 @But they did not understand this statement , and it was concealed from them so that they would not perceive it ; and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement . nasb @Luke:9:46 @An argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest . nasb @Luke:9:47 @But Jesus , knowing what they were thinking in their heart , took a child and stood him by His side , nasb @Luke:9:48 @and said to them , " Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me , and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me ; for the one who is least among all of you , this is the one who is great ." nasb @Luke:9:49 @John answered and said , " Master , we saw someone casting out demons in Your name ; and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow along with us ." nasb @Luke:9:50 @But Jesus said to him , "Do not hinder him ; for he who is not against you is for you ." nasb @Luke:9:51 @When the days were approaching for His ascension , He was determined to go to Jerusalem ; nasb @Luke:9:52 @and He sent messengers on ahead of Him , and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him . nasb @Luke:9:53 @But they did not receive Him , because He was traveling toward Jerusalem . nasb @Luke:9:54 @When His disciples James and John saw this , they said , "Lord , do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them ?" nasb @Luke:9:55 @But He turned and rebuked them , [and said , "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of ; nasb @Luke:9:56 @for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men 's lives , but to save them ."] And they went on to another village . nasb @Luke:9:57 @As they were going along the road , someone said to Him , "I will follow You wherever You go ." nasb @Luke:9:58 @And Jesus said to him , "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests , but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head ." nasb @Luke:9:59 @And He said to another , " Follow Me ." But he said , "Lord , permit me first to go and bury my father ." nasb @Luke:9:60 @But He said to him , "Allow the dead to bury their own dead ; but as for you , go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God ." nasb @Luke:9:61 @Another also said , "I will follow You , Lord ; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home ." nasb @Luke:9:62 @But Jesus said to him , " No one , after putting his hand to the plow and looking back , is fit for the kingdom of God ."
