9 예수님은 열두 제자를 불러모으시고 모든 귀신을 쫓아내고 병을 고치는 능 력과 권능을 그들에게 주셨다.
2 그리고 예수님은 하나님의 나라를 전파하고 병든 자를 고치라고 그들을 내보내시며
3 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “너희는 여행을 위해서 아무것도 가지고 가지 말아라. 지팡이나 가방이나 식량이나 돈이나 여분의 옷을 가지고 가지 말아라.
4 어느 집에 들어가든지 그 곳을 떠날 때까지 거기서 머물러라.
5 만일 사람들이 너희를 영접하지 않거든 그 마을을 떠날 때 신발에 묻은 먼지를 떨어 그들에 대한 증거를 삼아라.”
6 그래서 제자들은 나가서 여러 마을을 돌아다니며 기쁜 소식을 전하고 가는 곳마다 병을 고쳐 주었다.
베드로의 신앙 고백
7 한편 헤롯왕은 예수님이 행하신 일로 떠도는 소문을 듣고 몹시 당황하였다. 이것은 죽은 요한이 다시 살아났다고 말하는 사람도 있고
8 엘리야가 나타났다고 말하는 사람도 있으며 또 옛 예언자 중 하나가 살아났다고 말하는 사람도 있었기 때문이었다.
9 그러나 헤롯은 “내가 분명히 요한의 목을 베었다. 그렇다면 소문에 들리는 이 사람은 도대체 누굴까?” 하고 예수님을 보고자 하였다.
10 사도들이 돌아와 자기들이 한 모든 일을 예수님께 보고하자 예수님은 그들을 데리고 따로 벳새다라는 마을로 가셨다.
11 그러나 군중들은 예수님의 일행이 떠난 것을 알고 뒤따라왔다. 예수님은 그들을 기꺼이 맞아 하나님의 나라에 대하여 말씀해 주시고 병자들도 고쳐 주셨다.
12 날이 저물자 열두 제자가 예수님께 와서 “사람들을 가까운 마을로 보내 숙소도 찾고 음식도 사 먹게 하십시오. 여기는 벌판입니다” 하고 말하였다.
13 예수님이 제자들에게 “너희가 그들에게 먹을 것을 주어라” 하시자 제자들이 “우리에게는 빵 다섯 개와 물고기 두 마리뿐인데 먹을 것을 사오지 않고 어떻게 이 많은 사람들을 다 먹이란 말씀입니까?” 하였다.
14 모인 군중은 남자만 약 5,000명이었다. 예수님이 제자들에게 사람들을 약 50명씩 떼지어 앉게 하라고 말씀하시자
15 제자들이 시키는 대로 하여 사람들이 모두 앉았다.
16 예수님은 빵 다섯 개와 물고기 두 마리를 받아 들고 하늘을 우러러 감사 기도를 드리신 다음 떼어서 제자들에게 주시며 사람들 앞에 갖다 놓게 하였다.
17 그래서 그들은 모두 실컷 먹고 남은 조각을 열두 광주리나 거뒀다.
18 어느 날 예수님이 혼자 기도하고 계시는데 제자들이 찾아왔다. 그때 예수님이 그들에게 “사람들이 나를 누구라고 하느냐?” 하고 물으셨다.
19 그러자 제자들이 “어떤 사람은 [a]세례 요한이라 하고 어떤 사람은 엘리야라고 하며 또 어떤 사람은 옛 예언자들 중 한 사람이 살아났다고 말하기도 합니다” 하고 대답하였다.
20 “그러면 너희는 나를 누구라고 생각하느냐?” 하고 예수님이 다시 물으시자 베드로가 “하나님의 [b]그리스도이십니다” 하고 대답하였다.
21 예수님은 제자들에게 이 말을 아무에게도 하지 말라고 단단히 주의시키시고
22 이어서 “[c]나는 장로들과 대제사장들과 [d]율법학자들에게 많은 고난을 받고 죽음을 당했다가 3일 만에 다시 살아나야 한다” 하고 말씀하셨다.
23 그러고서 예수님은 모든 사람에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “누구든지 나를 따라오려거든 자기를 버리고 날마다 제 십자가를 지고 나를 따르라.
24 자기 생명을 구하고자 하는 사람은 잃을 것이며 나를 위해 자기 생명을 버리는 사람은 얻을 것이다.
25 사람이 온 세상을 얻고도 [e]자기 생명을 잃거나 빼앗기면 무슨 유익이 있겠느냐?
26 누구든지 나와 내 말을 부끄러워하면 [f]나도 내 영광과 아버지와 거룩한 천사들의 영광으로 올 때 그를 부끄럽게 여길 것이다.
27 내가 분명히 말해 둔다. 여기 서 있는 사람들 가운데 죽기 전에 하나님의 나라를 볼 사람들도 있을 것이다.”
영광을 입으신 예수님
28 이 말씀을 하시고 8일쯤 지나 예수님은 베드로와 요한과 야고보를 데리고 기도하러 산으로 올라가셨다.
29 그런데 기도하시는 동안 예수님의 얼굴 모습이 변하고 그의 옷이 희어져 눈부시게 빛났다.
30 그때 두 사람이 예수님과 이야기를 하고 있었는데 그들은 모세와 엘리야였다.
31 그들은 영광스러운 모습으로 나타나 장차 예수님이 예루살렘에서 돌아가시게 될 것을 말하였다.
32 그때 졸고 있던 베드로와 다른 제자들이 정신을 차려 보니 예수님의 영광의 광채가 보이고 두 사람이 예수님과 함께 서 있었다.
33 두 사람이 떠나려 하자 베드로가 예수님께 “주님, 우리가 여기 있는 것이 좋겠습니다. 우리가 이 곳에 천막 셋을 세워 주님과 모세와 엘리야를 각각 모시겠습니다” 하고 말하였다. 그러나 그는 자기가 무슨 말을 하는지조차 몰랐다.
34 베드로가 이 말을 하고 있을 때 구름이 와서 그들을 덮었다. 그들이 구름에 휩싸여 무서워하고 있는데
35 구름 속에서 “이 사람은 내가 택한 내 아들이다. 너희는 그의 말을 들어라” 하는 음성이 들려왔다.
36 그 음성이 그친 후에는 예수님 한 분밖에 보이지 않았다. 제자들은 침묵을 지키고 그 때에는 그들이 본 것을 아무에게도 말하지 않았다.
예수님이 산에서 내려오심
37 이튿날 그들이 산에서 내려오자 많은 군중이 예수님을 맞이하였다.
38 그때 그들 중에 한 사람이 이렇게 외쳤다. “선생님, 제 아들을 좀 봐 주십시오. 하나밖에 없는 아들입니다.
39 귀신이 그를 붙잡기만 하면 그가 갑자기 소리를 지릅니다. 귀신은 그에게 발작을 일으켜 거품을 내게 하고 몸에 상처를 입히고서야 겨우 떠나갑니다.
40 그래서 선생님의 제자들에게 귀신을 쫓아내 달라고 간청했으나 쫓아내지 못했습니다.”
41 그러자 예수님은 “믿음이 없고 비뚤어진 세대여, 내가 언제까지 너희와 함께 있어야 하며 너희를 보고 참아야 하겠느냐?” 하시고 [g]그 사람에게 “네 아들을 이리 데려오너라” 하고 말씀하셨다.
42 아이가 오고 있는 동안에도 귀신은 그를 거꾸러뜨려 발작을 일으켜 놓았다. 그러나 예수님이 더러운 귀신을 꾸짖어 아이를 낫게 하신 후 그의 아버지에게 돌려 주시자
43 사람들이 다 하나님의 위대하심에 놀라 감탄하였다. 예수님이 하신 모든 일을 보고 사람들이 다 놀라고 있을 때 예수님이 제자들에게
44 “이 말을 귀담아 들어라. [h]나는 머지않아 사람들의 손에 넘어가게 될 것이다” 하고 말씀하셨다.
45 그러나 이 말씀의 뜻이 숨겨져서 제자들은 깨닫기는커녕 묻기조차 두려워하였다.
46 제자들 사이에 누가 가장 위대하냐는 문제로 말다툼이 벌어졌다.
47 예수님은 그들의 생각을 아시고 한 어린 아이를 데려다가 곁에 세우고
48 제자들에게 말씀하셨다. “누구든지 내 이름으로 이런 어린 아이를 영접하면 곧 나를 영접하는 것이며 누구든지 나를 영접하면 바로 나를 보내신 분을 영접하는 것이다. 너희 중에 가장 작은 사람이 가장 위대한 사람이다.”
49 요한이 예수님께 “주님, 우리를 따르지 않는 어떤 사람이 주님의 이름으로 귀신을 쫓아내기에 우리가 그렇게 못하도록 했습니다” 하고 말하자
50 예수님이 그에게 “막지 말아라. 너희를 반대하지 않는 사람은 너희를 위하는 사람이다” 하고 말씀하셨다.
51 예수님은 하늘로 올라가실 때가 가까워지자 예루살렘으로 갈 것을 굳게 결심하시고
52 사자들을 앞서 보내셨다. 그들은 가다가 예수님을 위해 준비하려고 사마리아 사람의 마을로 들어갔다.
53 그러나 그 마을 사람들은 예수님이 예루살렘을 향해 가시는 길이었기 때문에 그를 영접하지 않았다.
54 야고보와 요한은 이것을 보고 예수님께 “주님, [i]하늘에서 불을 내려다가 이 사람들을 태워 버리는 것이 어떻겠습니까?” 하고 물었으나
55 [j]예수님은 그들을 꾸짖으시고
56 함께 다른 마을로 가셨다.
57 그들이 가는 도중에 어떤 사람이 예수님께 와서 “저는 선생님이 어디로 가시든지 따라가겠습니다” 하였다.
58 그래서 예수님은 그에게 “여우도 굴이 있고 공중의 새도 보금자리가 있으나 나는 머리 둘 곳이 없다” 하고 말씀하셨다.
59 예수님이 또 다른 사람에게 “나를 따르라” 하고 말씀하시자 그는 “먼저 제 아버지의 장례를 치르도록 허락해 주십시오” 하였다.
60 그러나 예수님은 그에게 “죽은 사람의 장례는 [k]영적으로 죽은 사람들이 하게 버려 두고 너는 가서 하나님의 나라를 전파하라” 하고 말씀하셨다.
61 또 다른 사람이 “제가 주님을 따르겠습니다. 그러나 먼저 가족에게 작별 인사를 하게 해 주십시오” 하자
62 예수님은 그에게 “쟁기를 잡고 뒤를 돌아보는 사람은 하나님의 나라에 적당치 않다” 하고 말씀하셨다.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples
9 One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples[a] and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases. 2 Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 “Take nothing for your journey,” he instructed them. “Don’t take a walking stick, a traveler’s bag, food, money,[b] or even a change of clothes. 4 Wherever you go, stay in the same house until you leave town. 5 And if a town refuses to welcome you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.”
6 So they began their circuit of the villages, preaching the Good News and healing the sick.
Herod’s Confusion
7 When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee,[c] heard about everything Jesus was doing, he was puzzled. Some were saying that John the Baptist had been raised from the dead. 8 Others thought Jesus was Elijah or one of the other prophets risen from the dead.
9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “so who is this man about whom I hear such stories?” And he kept trying to see him.
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
10 When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he slipped quietly away with them toward the town of Bethsaida. 11 But the crowds found out where he was going, and they followed him. He welcomed them and taught them about the Kingdom of God, and he healed those who were sick.
12 Late in the afternoon the twelve disciples came to him and said, “Send the crowds away to the nearby villages and farms, so they can find food and lodging for the night. There is nothing to eat here in this remote place.”
13 But Jesus said, “You feed them.”
“But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Or are you expecting us to go and buy enough food for this whole crowd?” 14 For there were about 5,000 men there.
Jesus replied, “Tell them to sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 So the people all sat down. 16 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. 17 They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers!
Peter’s Declaration about Jesus
18 One day Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. Only his disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”
19 “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the other ancient prophets risen from the dead.”
20 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
Peter replied, “You are the Messiah[d] sent from God!”
Jesus Predicts His Death
21 Jesus warned his disciples not to tell anyone who he was. 22 “The Son of Man[e] must suffer many terrible things,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He will be killed, but on the third day he will be raised from the dead.”
23 Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. 24 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 25 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed? 26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. 27 I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Kingdom of God.”
The Transfiguration
28 About eight days later Jesus took Peter, John, and James up on a mountain to pray. 29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became dazzling white. 30 Suddenly, two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus. 31 They were glorious to see. And they were speaking about his exodus from this world, which was about to be fulfilled in Jerusalem.
32 Peter and the others had fallen asleep. When they woke up, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As Moses and Elijah were starting to leave, Peter, not even knowing what he was saying, blurted out, “Master, it’s wonderful for us to be here! Let’s make three shelters as memorials[f]—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 34 But even as he was saying this, a cloud overshadowed them, and terror gripped them as the cloud covered them.
35 Then a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, my Chosen One.[g] Listen to him.” 36 When the voice finished, Jesus was there alone. They didn’t tell anyone at that time what they had seen.
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy
37 The next day, after they had come down the mountain, a large crowd met Jesus. 38 A man in the crowd called out to him, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, my only child. 39 An evil spirit keeps seizing him, making him scream. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It batters him and hardly ever leaves him alone. 40 I begged your disciples to cast out the spirit, but they couldn’t do it.”
41 Jesus said, “You faithless and corrupt people! How long must I be with you and put up with you?” Then he said to the man, “Bring your son here.”
42 As the boy came forward, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a violent convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil[h] spirit and healed the boy. Then he gave him back to his father. 43 Awe gripped the people as they saw this majestic display of God’s power.
Jesus Again Predicts His Death
While everyone was marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, 44 “Listen to me and remember what I say. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies.” 45 But they didn’t know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they couldn’t understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
The Greatest in the Kingdom
46 Then his disciples began arguing about which of them was the greatest. 47 But Jesus knew their thoughts, so he brought a little child to his side. 48 Then he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf[i] welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me also welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest.”
Using the Name of Jesus
49 John said to Jesus, “Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t in our group.”
50 But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you.”
Opposition from Samaritans
51 As the time drew near for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 He sent messengers ahead to a Samaritan village to prepare for his arrival. 53 But the people of the village did not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to Jerusalem. 54 When James and John saw this, they said to Jesus, “Lord, should we call down fire from heaven to burn them up[j]?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.[k] 56 So they went on to another village.
The Cost of Following Jesus
57 As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”
59 He said to another person, “Come, follow me.”
The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”
60 But Jesus told him, “Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead![l] Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.”
61 Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.”
62 But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)
9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons(C) and to cure diseases,(D) 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God(E) and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.(F) 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”(G) 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
7 Now Herod(H) the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John(I) had been raised from the dead,(J) 8 others that Elijah had appeared,(K) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(L) 9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.(M)
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(N)(O)
10 When the apostles(P) returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,(Q) 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God,(R) and healed those who needed healing.
12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)
But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them.(S) Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(T)(U)
18 Once when Jesus was praying(V) in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(W) others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”(X)
20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”(Y)
Jesus Predicts His Death
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.(Z) 22 And he said, “The Son of Man(AA) must suffer many things(AB) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(AC) and he must be killed(AD) and on the third day(AE) be raised to life.”(AF)
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.(AG) 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.(AH) 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them(AI) when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.(AJ)
27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
The Transfiguration(AK)
28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James(AL) with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.(AM) 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[a](AN) which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy,(AO) but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master,(AP) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen;(AQ) listen to him.”(AR) 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.(AS)
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy(AT)
37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. 38 A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”
41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,”(AU) Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.
Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time
While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”(AV) 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it,(AW) and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.(AX) 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts,(AY) took a little child and had him stand beside him. 48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(AZ) For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”(BA)
49 “Master,”(BB) said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”(BC)
Samaritan Opposition
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven,(BD) Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.(BE) 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan(BF) village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John(BG) saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[b]?”(BH) 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.
The Cost of Following Jesus(BI)
57 As they were walking along the road,(BJ) a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man(BK) has no place to lay his head.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”(BL)
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”(BM)
61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”(BN)
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

Sending Out the Twelve(A)
9 Then (B)He called His twelve disciples together and (C)gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 (D)He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 (E)And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.
4 (F)“Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 (G)And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, (H)shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6 (I)So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
Herod Seeks to See Jesus(J)
7 (K)Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, 8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 9 Herod said, “John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?” (L)So he sought to see Him.
Feeding the Five Thousand(M)
10 (N)And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. (O)Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. 12 (P)When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.”
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 we go and buy food for all these people.” 14 For there were about five thousand men.
Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He (Q)blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 So they all ate and were [a]filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ(R)
18 (S)And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
19 So they answered and said, (T)“John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
(U)Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(V)
21 (W)And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, (X)“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 the third day.”
Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(Y)
23 (Z)Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross [b]daily, and follow Me. 24 (AA)For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 (AB)For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? 26 (AC)For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be (AD)ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels. 27 (AE)But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”
Jesus Transfigured on the Mount(AF)
28 (AG)Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. 30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were (AH)Moses and (AI)Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His [c]decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and those with him (AJ)were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him. 33 Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three [d]tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.
34 While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the (AK)cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, (AL)“This is [e]My beloved Son. (AM)Hear Him!” 36 When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. (AN)But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
A Boy Is Healed(AO)
37 (AP)Now it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him. 38 Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child. 39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him. 40 So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
41 Then Jesus answered and said, “O [f]faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and [g]bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42 And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.
Jesus Again Predicts His Death(AQ)
43 And they were all amazed at the majesty of God.
But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples, 44 (AR)“Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.” 45 (AS)But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.
Who Is the Greatest?(AT)
46 (AU)Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest. 47 And Jesus, (AV)perceiving the thought of their heart, took a (AW)little child and set him by Him, 48 and said to them, (AX)“Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and (AY)whoever receives Me (AZ)receives Him who sent Me. (BA)For he who is least among you all will be great.”
Jesus Forbids Sectarianism(BB)
49 (BC)Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for (BD)he who is not against [h]us is on [i]our side.”
A Samaritan Village Rejects the Savior
51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for (BE)Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But (BF)they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples (BG)James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, [j]just as (BH)Elijah did?”
55 But He turned and rebuked them, [k]and said, “You do not know what manner of (BI)spirit you are of. 56 [l]For (BJ)the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.
The Cost of Discipleship(BK)
57 (BL)Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man (BM)has nowhere to lay His head.”
59 (BN)Then He said to another, “Follow Me.”
But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”
61 And another also said, “Lord, (BO)I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is (BP)fit for the kingdom of God.”
