Luke 9-10

Luke 9

¹And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

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

³And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.

⁴And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.

⁵And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

⁶And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;

⁸and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

⁹And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

¹⁰And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he healed.

¹²And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

¹³But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.

¹⁵And they did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁷And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

¹⁸And it came to pass, as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

¹⁹And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

²⁰And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

²¹But he charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no man;

²²saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

²³And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁴For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

²⁵For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?

²⁶For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷But I tell you of a truth, There be some of them that stand here, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

²⁸And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

²⁹And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling.

³⁰And behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elijah;

³¹who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³²Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

³³And it came to pass, as they were parting 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 Elijah: not knowing what he said.

³⁴And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.

³⁶And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

³⁸And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Master, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:

³⁹and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely.

⁴⁰And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not.

⁴¹And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.

⁴²And as he was yet a coming, the devil dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.

⁴⁵But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it: and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little 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 is great.

⁴⁹And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

⁵⁰But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

⁵¹And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵²and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

⁵³And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?

⁵⁵But he turned, and rebuked them.

⁵⁶And they went to another village.

⁵⁷And as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

⁵⁸And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

⁵⁹And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

⁶⁰But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.

⁶¹And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

⁶²But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Luke 10

¹Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come.

²And he said unto them, The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.

³Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

⁴Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes: and salute no man on the way.

⁵And into whatsoever house ye shall enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

⁶And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again.

⁷And in that 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.

⁸And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

⁹and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

¹⁰But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say,

¹¹Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we do wipe off against you: howbeit know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.

¹²I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

¹³Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴Howbeit it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.

¹⁵And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades.

¹⁶He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.

¹⁷And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us in thy name.

¹⁸And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.

¹⁹Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.

²⁰Howbeit in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

²¹In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.

²²All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.

²³And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

²⁴for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

²⁵And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

²⁶And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷And 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.

²⁸And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

²⁹But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

³⁰Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, which both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

³¹And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³²And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

³³But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

³⁴and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

³⁵And on the morrow he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee.

³⁶Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbour unto him that fell among the robbers?

³⁷And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

³⁸Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

³⁹And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at the Lord’s feet, and heard his word.

⁴⁰But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

⁴¹But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:

⁴²but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
