<p id="id00422">42:009:001 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them<br/>
power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.<br/></p>
<p id="id00423">42:009:002 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the<br/>
sick.<br/></p>
<p id="id00424">42:009:003 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither
staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have
two coats apiece.</p>
<p id="id00425">42:009:004 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence
depart.</p>
<p id="id00426">42:009:005 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.</p>
<p id="id00427">42:009:006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the
gospel, and healing every where.</p>
<p id="id00428">42:009:007 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;</p>
<p id="id00429">42:009:008 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one<br/>
of the old prophets was risen again.<br/></p>
<p id="id00430">42:009:009 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom<br/>
I hear such things? And he desired to see him.<br/></p>
<p id="id00431">42:009:010 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that<br/>
they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into<br/>
a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.<br/></p>
<p id="id00432">42:009:011 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he<br/>
received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and<br/>
healed them that had need of healing.<br/></p>
<p id="id00433">42:009:012 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.</p>
<p id="id00434">42:009:013 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.</p>
<p id="id00435">42:009:014 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his
disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.</p>
<p id="id00436">42:009:015 And they did so, and made them all sit down.</p>
<p id="id00437">42:009:016 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.</p>
<p id="id00438">42:009:017 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up
of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.</p>
<p id="id00439">42:009:018 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?</p>
<p id="id00440">42:009:019 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias;<br/>
and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.<br/></p>
<p id="id00441">42:009:020 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering<br/>
said, The Christ of God.<br/></p>
<p id="id00442">42:009:021 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no<br/>
man that thing;<br/></p>
<p id="id00443">42:009:022 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.</p>
<p id="id00444">42:009:023 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let<br/>
him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.<br/></p>
<p id="id00445">42:009:024 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever<br/>
will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.<br/></p>
<p id="id00446">42:009:025 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and<br/>
lose himself, or be cast away?<br/></p>
<p id="id00447">42:009:026 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.</p>
<p id="id00448">42:009:027 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.</p>
<p id="id00449">42:009:028 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.</p>
<p id="id00450">42:009:029 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,<br/>
and his raiment was white and glistering.<br/></p>
<p id="id00451">42:009:030 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses<br/>
and Elias:<br/></p>
<p id="id00452">42:009:031 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he<br/>
should accomplish at Jerusalem.<br/></p>
<p id="id00453">42:009:032 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.</p>
<p id="id00454">42:009:033 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.</p>
<p id="id00455">42:009:034 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed<br/>
them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.<br/></p>
<p id="id00456">42:009:035 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my<br/>
beloved Son: hear him.<br/></p>
<p id="id00457">42:009:036 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.</p>
<p id="id00458">42:009:037 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come<br/>
down from the hill, much people met him.<br/></p>
<p id="id00459">42:009:038 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I<br/>
beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.<br/></p>
<p id="id00460">42:009:039 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.</p>
<p id="id00461">42:009:040 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could
not.</p>
<p id="id00462">42:009:041 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation,<br/>
how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son<br/>
hither.<br/></p>
<p id="id00463">42:009:042 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare<br/>
him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the<br/>
child, and delivered him again to his father.<br/></p>
<p id="id00464">42:009:043 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while<br/>
they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said<br/>
unto his disciples,<br/></p>
<p id="id00465">42:009:044 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man
shall be delivered into the hands of men.</p>
<p id="id00466">42:009:045 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.</p>
<p id="id00467">42:009:046 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should<br/>
be greatest.<br/></p>
<p id="id00468">42:009:047 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a<br/>
child, and set him by him,<br/></p>
<p id="id00469">42:009:048 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.</p>
<p id="id00470">42:009:049 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.</p>
<p id="id00471">42:009:050 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not<br/>
against us is for us.<br/></p>
<p id="id00472">42:009:051 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be<br/>
received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,<br/></p>
<p id="id00473">42:009:052 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and
entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for
him.</p>
<p id="id00474">42:009:053 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though
he would go to Jerusalem.</p>
<p id="id00475">42:009:054 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?</p>
<p id="id00476">42:009:055 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what<br/>
manner of spirit ye are of.<br/></p>
<p id="id00477">42:009:056 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to<br/>
save them. And they went to another village.<br/></p>
<p id="id00478">42:009:057 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain<br/>
man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou<br/>
goest.<br/></p>
<p id="id00479">42:009:058 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the<br/>
air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his<br/>
head.<br/></p>
<p id="id00480">42:009:059 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer<br/>
me first to go and bury my father.<br/></p>
<p id="id00481">42:009:060 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou<br/>
and preach the kingdom of God.<br/></p>
<p id="id00482">42:009:061 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me<br/>
first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.<br/></p>
<p id="id00483">42:009:062 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the<br/>
plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.<br/></p>
<p id="id00484">42:010:001 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and<br/>
sent them two and two before his face into every city and<br/>
place, whither he himself would come.<br/></p>
<p id="id00485">42:010:002 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but<br/>
the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the<br/>
harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.<br/></p>
<p id="id00486">42:010:003 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.</p>
<p id="id00487">42:010:004 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man<br/>
by the way.<br/></p>
<p id="id00488">42:010:005 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to<br/>
this house.<br/></p>
<p id="id00489">42:010:006 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon<br/>
it: if not, it shall turn to you again.<br/></p>
<p id="id00490">42:010:007 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.</p>
<p id="id00491">42:010:008 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat<br/>
such things as are set before you:<br/></p>
<p id="id00492">42:010:009 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The<br/>
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.<br/></p>
<p id="id00493">42:010:010 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not,<br/>
go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,<br/></p>
<p id="id00494">42:010:011 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.</p>
<p id="id00495">42:010:012 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that
day for Sodom, than for that city.</p>
<p id="id00496">42:010:013 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.</p>
<p id="id00497">42:010:014 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the<br/>
judgment, than for you.<br/></p>
<p id="id00498">42:010:015 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be<br/>
thrust down to hell.<br/></p>
<p id="id00499">42:010:016 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you
despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent
me.</p>
<p id="id00500">42:010:017 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even<br/>
the devils are subject unto us through thy name.<br/></p>
<p id="id00501">42:010:018 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from<br/>
heaven.<br/></p>
<p id="id00502">42:010:019 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and<br/>
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing<br/>
shall by any means hurt you.<br/></p>
<p id="id00503">42:010:020 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are<br/>
subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are<br/>
written in heaven.<br/></p>
<p id="id00504">42:010:021 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.</p>
<p id="id00505">42:010:022 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.</p>
<p id="id00506">42:010:023 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately,
Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:</p>
<p id="id00507">42:010:024 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.</p>
<p id="id00508">42:010:025 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,<br/>
saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?<br/></p>
<p id="id00509">42:010:026 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest<br/>
thou?<br/></p>
<p id="id00510">42:010:027 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.</p>
<p id="id00511">42:010:028 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and<br/>
thou shalt live.<br/></p>
<p id="id00512">42:010:029 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who<br/>
is my neighbour?<br/></p>
<p id="id00513">42:010:030 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.</p>
<p id="id00514">42:010:031 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and<br/>
when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.<br/></p>
<p id="id00515">42:010:032 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and<br/>
looked on him, and passed by on the other side.<br/></p>
<p id="id00516">42:010:033 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was:<br/>
and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,<br/></p>
<p id="id00517">42:010:034 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.</p>
<p id="id00518">42:010:035 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.</p>
<p id="id00519">42:010:036 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto<br/>
him that fell among the thieves?<br/></p>
<p id="id00520">42:010:037 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto<br/>
him, Go, and do thou likewise.<br/></p>
<p id="id00521">42:010:038 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.</p>
<p id="id00522">42:010:039 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus'
feet, and heard his word.</p>
<p id="id00523">42:010:040 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.</p>
<p id="id00524">42:010:041 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art<br/>
careful and troubled about many things:<br/></p>
<p id="id00525">42:010:042 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part,<br/>
which shall not be taken away from her.<br/></p>
