Chapter 9
Luke Noyes 9:1  And he called together the twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Luke Noyes 9:2  And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal.
Luke Noyes 9:3  And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece.
Luke Noyes 9:4  And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and from it take your departure.
Luke Noyes 9:5  And whoever shall not receive you, shake off, when ye leave that city, even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.
Luke Noyes 9:6  And they departed, and went through the towns publishing the glad tidings, and performing cures everywhere.
Luke Noyes 9:7  And Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was taking place, and was perplexed; because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead;
Luke Noyes 9:8  and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets had risen.
Luke Noyes 9:9  But Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
Luke Noyes 9:10  And the apostles returned and told him what they had done; and taking them with him, he withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.
Luke Noyes 9:11  But the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
Luke Noyes 9:12  And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages around, and the open country, and lodge, and get food; for we are here in a desert place.
Luke Noyes 9:13  But he said to them, Do ye give them food. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we ourselves should go and buy food for l all these people.
Luke Noyes 9:14  They were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them lie down in companies of fifty.
Luke Noyes 9:16  Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Luke Noyes 9:17  And they ate, and were all filled; and what remained to them of fragments was taken up, twelve baskets.
Luke Noyes 9:18  And it came to pass as he was in a private place praying, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?
Luke Noyes 9:19  And they answering said, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets hath risen.
Luke Noyes 9:20  And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
Luke Noyes 9:21  But he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no one;
Luke Noyes 9:22  saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and rise again on the third day.
Luke Noyes 9:23  And he said to all, If any one chooseth to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Luke Noyes 9:24  For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; and whoever loseth his life for my sake, he will save it.
Luke Noyes 9:25  For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit himself?
Luke Noyes 9:26  For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when be cometh in his glory, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.
Luke Noyes 9:27  And I tell you in truth, that there are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.
Luke Noyes 9:28  And it came to pass about eight days after this discourse, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.
Luke Noyes 9:29  And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment became white and glistening.
Luke Noyes 9:30  And lo! two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah;
Luke Noyes 9:31  who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.
Luke Noyes 9:32  But Peter and those who were with him were weighed down with sleep. But when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
Luke Noyes 9:33  And it came to pass 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 tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; —not knowing what he said.
Luke Noyes 9:34  But as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
Luke Noyes 9:35  And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is my chosen Son; hear him."
Luke Noyes 9:36  And when the voice had come, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret, and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
Luke Noyes 9:37  And it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Luke Noyes 9:38  And lo! a man from the multitude cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child;
Luke Noyes 9:39  and lo! a spirit seizeth him, and suddenly crieth out, and convulseth him so that he foameth, and it departeth from him hardly, taking away all his strength.
Luke Noyes 9:40  And I besought thy disciples to cast it out, and they could not.
Luke Noyes 9:41  And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring thy son hither.
Luke Noyes 9:42  And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.
Luke Noyes 9:43  And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,
Luke Noyes 9:44  As for you, let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.
Luke Noyes 9:45  But they knew not the meaning of these words, and it was hidden from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about these words.
Luke Noyes 9:46  And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was greatest.
Luke Noyes 9:47  And Jesus knowing the reasoning of their heart, took a child and set him by his side,
Luke Noyes 9:48  and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. For he that is least among you all, he is great.
Luke Noyes 9:49  And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow in our company.
Luke Noyes 9:50  But Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against you is for you.
Luke Noyes 9:51  And it came to pass, when the time was near for his being received up, that he himself steadily set his face to go to Jerusalem.
Luke Noyes 9:52  And he sent messengers before him; and they went and entered a city of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
Luke Noyes 9:53  And they did not receive him, because his face was as if he were going to Jerusalem.
Luke Noyes 9:54  And the disciples James and John, on seeing it, said, Lord, wilt thou have us bid fire come down from heaven, and consume them?
Luke Noyes 9:57  And as they were traveling on the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.
Luke Noyes 9:58  And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have lodging-places; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Luke Noyes 9:59  And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Luke Noyes 9:60  And he said to him, Let the dead bury their own dead; but go thou and carry the tidings of the kingdom of God.
Luke Noyes 9:61  And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to those who are in my house.
Luke Noyes 9:62  And Jesus said to him, No one who looketh back after putting his hand to the plough is fit for the kingdom of God.
