New Testament in a Year

9 And when the twelve apostles were called together, Jesus gave to them virtue and power on [upon] all devils, and that they should heal sicknesses.

² And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal sick men.

³ And he said to them, Nothing take ye in the way, neither a staff, nor scrip, neither bread, nor money^[a], and neither have ye two coats.

⁴ And into what house ye enter, dwell ye there, and go ye not out from thence. [And into whatever house ye shall enter, dwell ye there, and go ye not out thence.]

⁵ And whoever receive not you, go ye out of that city, and shake ye off the powder of your feet into witnessing on them. [And whoever shall not receive you, ye going out of that city shake off also the powder of your feet into witnessing upon them.]

⁶ And they went forth, and went about by castles, preaching [evangelizing] and healing every where.

⁷ And Herod [the] tetrarch heard all [the] things that were done of him, and he doubted, for that it was said of some men, that John was risen from death;^[b]

⁸ and of some men, that Elias had appeared; but of others, that one of the old prophets was risen.

⁹ And Herod said, I have beheaded John; and who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

¹⁰ And the apostles turned again, and told to him all things that they had done. And he took them, and went beside into a desert place, that is Bethsaida [the which is called Bethsaida].

¹¹ And when the people knew this, they followed him. And he received them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God; and he healed them that had need of cure [and healed them that had need of cure].

¹² And the day began to bow down, and the twelve came, and said to him, Let go the people [Leave the companies of people], that they go, and turn into the castles and towns, that be about, that they find meat [that they find meats], for we be here in a desert place.

¹³ And he said to them, Give ye to them to eat. And they said, There be not to us more than five loaves and two fishes, but peradventure that we go, and buy meats to all this people [and buy meats for all the company].

¹⁴ And the men were almost five thousand. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit to meat by companies, a fifty together.

¹⁵ And they did so, and they made all men sit to [the] meat.

¹⁶ And when he had taken the five loaves and two fishes, he beheld into heaven, and blessed them, and brake, and dealed to his disciples, that they should set before the companies.
