Luke:9-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then he called his twelve disciples together ,
and gave them power and authority over all devils ,
and to cure diseases .
*
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God ,
and to heal the sick .
*
And he said unto them ,
Take nothing for your journey ,
neither staves ,
nor scrip ,
neither bread ,
neither money ;
neither have two coats apiece .
*
And whatsoever house ye enter into ,
there abide ,
and thence depart .
*
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 .
*
And they departed ,
and went through the towns ,
preaching the gospel ,
and healing every where .
*
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 ;
*
And of some ,
that Elias had appeared ;
and of others ,
that one of the old prophets was risen again .
*
And Herod said ,
John have I beheaded :
but who is this ,
of whom I hear such things ?
And he desired to see him .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For they were about five thousand men .
And he said to his disciples ,
Make them sit down by fifties in a company .
*
And they did so ,
and made them all sit down .
*
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 .
*
And they did eat ,
and were all filled :
and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets .
*
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 ?
*
They answering said ,
John the Baptist ;
but some say ,
Elias ;
and others say ,
that one of the old prophets is risen again .
*
He said unto them ,
But whom say ye that I am ?
Peter answering said ,
The Christ of God .
*
And he straitly charged them ,
and commanded them to tell no man that thing ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it :
but whosoever will lose his life for my sake ,
the same shall save it .
*
For what is a man advantaged ,
if he gain the whole world ,
and lose himself ,
or be cast away ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And as he prayed ,
the fashion of his countenance was altered ,
and his raiment was white and glistering .
*
And ,
behold ,
there talked with him two men ,
which were Moses and Elias :
*
Who appeared in glory ,
and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
While he thus spake ,
there came a cloud ,
and overshadowed them :
and they feared as they entered into the cloud .
*
And there came a voice out of the cloud ,
saying ,
This is my beloved Son :
hear him .
*
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 .
*
And it came to pass ,
that on the next day ,
when they were come down from the hill ,
much people met him .
*
And ,
behold ,
a man of the company cried out ,
saying ,
Master ,
I beseech thee ,
look upon my son :
for he is mine only child .
*
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 .
*
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out ;
and they could not .
*
And Jesus answering said ,
O faithless and perverse generation ,
how long shall I be with you ,
and suffer you ?
Bring thy son hither .
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
Let these sayings sink down into your ears :
for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men .
*
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 .
*
Then there arose a reasoning among them ,
which of them should be greatest .
*
And Jesus ,
perceiving the thought of their heart ,
took a child ,
and set him by him ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
Forbid him not :
for he that is not against us is for us .
*
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 ,
*
And sent messengers before his face :
and they went ,
and entered into a village of the Samaritans ,
to make ready for him .
*
And they did not receive him ,
because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem .
*
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 ?
*
But he turned ,
and rebuked them ,
and said ,
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of .
*
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men '
s lives ,
but to save them .
And they went to another village .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And he said unto another ,
Follow me .
But he said ,
Lord ,
suffer me first to go and bury my father .
*
Jesus said unto him ,
Let the dead bury their dead :
but go thou and preach the kingdom of God .
*
And another also said ,
Lord ,
I will follow thee ;
but let me first go bid them farewell ,
which are at home at my house .
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
No man ,
having put his hand to the plough ,
and looking back ,
is fit for the kingdom of God .
*
After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also ,
and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place ,
whither he himself would come .
*
Therefore said he unto them ,
The harvest truly is great ,
but the labourers are few :
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest ,
that he would send forth labourers into his harvest .
*
Go your ways :
behold ,
I send you forth as lambs among wolves .
*
Carry neither purse ,
nor scrip ,
nor shoes :
and salute no man by the way .
*
And into whatsoever house ye enter ,
first say ,
Peace be to this house .
*
And if the son of peace be there ,
your peace shall rest upon it :
if not ,
it shall turn to you again .
*
And in the same house remain ,
eating and drinking such things as they give :
for the labourer is worthy of his hire .
Go not from house to house .
*
And into whatsoever city ye enter ,
and they receive you ,
eat such things as are set before you :
*
And heal the sick that are therein ,
and say unto them ,
The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you .
*
But into whatsoever city ye enter ,
and they receive you not ,
go your ways out into the streets of the same ,
and say ,
*
Even the very dust of your city ,
which cleaveth on us ,
we do wipe off against you :
notwithstanding be ye sure of this ,
that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you .
*
But I say unto you ,
that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom ,
than for that city .
*
Woe unto thee ,
Chorazin !
woe unto thee ,
Bethsaida !
for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon ,
which have been done in you ,
they had a great while ago repented ,
sitting in sackcloth and ashes .
*
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment ,
than for you .
*
And thou ,
Capernaum ,
which art exalted to heaven ,
shalt be thrust down to hell .
*
He that heareth you heareth me ;
and he that despiseth you despiseth me ;
and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me .
*
And the seventy returned again with joy ,
saying ,
Lord ,
even the devils are subject unto us through thy name .
*
And he said unto them ,
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven .
*
Behold ,
I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions ,
and over all the power of the enemy :
and nothing shall by any means hurt you .
*
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not ,
that the spirits are subject unto you ;
but rather rejoice ,
because your names are written in heaven .
*
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit ,
and said ,
I thank thee ,
O Father ,
Lord of heaven and earth ,
that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent ,
and hast revealed them unto babes :
even so ,
Father ;
for so it seemed good in thy sight .
*
All things are delivered to me of my Father :
and no man knoweth who the Son is ,
but the Father ;
and who the Father is ,
but the Son ,
and he to whom the Son will reveal him .
*
And he turned him unto his disciples ,
and said privately ,
Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see :
*
For I tell you ,
that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see ,
and have not seen them ;
and to hear those things which ye hear ,
and have not heard them .
*
And ,
behold ,
a certain lawyer stood up ,
and tempted him ,
saying ,
Master ,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life ?
*
He said unto him ,
What is written in the law ?
how readest thou ?
*
And he answering said ,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart ,
and with all thy soul ,
and with all thy strength ,
and with all thy mind ;
and thy neighbour as thyself .
*
And he said unto him ,
Thou hast answered right :
this do ,
and thou shalt live .
*
But he ,
willing to justify himself ,
said unto Jesus ,
And who is my neighbour ?
*
And Jesus answering said ,
A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho ,
and fell among thieves ,
which stripped him of his raiment ,
and wounded him ,
and departed ,
leaving him half dead .
*
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way :
and when he saw him ,
he passed by on the other side .
*
And likewise a Levite ,
when he was at the place ,
came and looked on him ,
and passed by on the other side .
*
But a certain Samaritan ,
as he journeyed ,
came where he was :
and when he saw him ,
he had compassion on him ,
*
And went to him ,
and bound up his wounds ,
pouring in oil and wine ,
and set him on his own beast ,
and brought him to an inn ,
and took care of him .
*
And on the morrow when he departed ,
he took out two pence ,
and gave them to the host ,
and said unto him ,
Take care of him ;
and whatsoever thou spendest more ,
when I come again ,
I will repay thee .
*
Which now of these three ,
thinkest thou ,
was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves ?
*
And he said ,
He that shewed mercy on him .
Then said Jesus unto him ,
Go ,
and do thou likewise .
*
Now it came to pass ,
as they went ,
that he entered into a certain village :
and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house .
*
And she had a sister called Mary ,
which also sat at Jesus '
feet ,
and heard his word .
*
But Martha was cumbered about much serving ,
and came to him ,
and said ,
Lord ,
dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone ?
bid her therefore that she help me .
*
And Jesus answered and said unto her ,
Martha ,
Martha ,
thou art careful and troubled about many things :
*
But one thing is needful :
and Mary hath chosen that good part ,
which shall not be taken away from her .
*
And it came to pass ,
that ,
as he was praying in a certain place ,
when he ceased ,
one of his disciples said unto him ,
Lord ,
teach us to pray ,
as John also taught his disciples .
