Luke 9:3-31

³And he sayd to them, Take nothing to your iourney, neither staues, nor scrip, neither bread, nor siluer, neither haue two coates apiece.

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

⁵And howe many so euer will not receiue you, when ye goe out of that citie, shake off the very dust from your feete for a testimonie against them.

⁶And they went out, and went through euery towne preaching the Gospel, and healing euery where.

⁷Nowe Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he douted, because that it was sayd of some, that Iohn was risen againe from the dead:

⁸And of some, that Elias had appeared: and of some, that one of the olde Prophets was risen againe.

⁹Then Herod sayd, Iohn haue I beheaded: who then is this of whome I heare such things? and he desired to see him.

¹⁰And when the Apostles returned, they tolde him what great things they had done. Then he tooke them to him, and went aside into a solitarie place, neere to the citie called Bethsaida.

¹¹But when the people knewe it, they followed him: and he receiued them, and spake vnto them of the kingdome of God, and healed them that had neede to be healed.

¹²And when the day began to weare away, the twelue came, and sayd vnto him, Sende the people away, that they may goe into the townes and villages round about, and lodge, and get meate: for we are here in a desart place.

¹³But he sayd vnto them, Giue ye them to eate. And they sayd, We haue no more but fiue loaues and two fishes, except we should go and buy meate for all this people.

¹⁴For they were about fiue thousand men. Then he sayde to his disciples, Cause them to sit downe by fifties in a company.

¹⁵And they did so, and caused all to sit downe.

¹⁶Then he tooke the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen, and blessed them, and brake, and gaue to the disciples, to set before the people.

¹⁷So they did all eate, and were satisfied: and there was taken vp of that remained to them, twelue baskets full of broken meate.

¹⁸And it came to passe, as hee was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

¹⁹They answered, and sayd, Iohn Baptist: and others say, Elias: and some say, that one of the olde Prophets is risen againe.

²⁰And he sayd vnto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered, and sayd, That Christ of God.

²¹And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell that to no man,

²²Saying, The Sonne of man must suffer many things and be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priests and Scribes, and be slaine, and the third day rise againe.

²³And he sayd to them all, If any man will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse dayly, and follow me.

²⁴For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall saue it.

²⁵For what auantageth it a man, if he win the whole worlde, and destroy himselfe, or lose himselfe?

²⁶For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of me, and of my wordes, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed, when hee shall come in his glorie, and in the glorie of the Father, and of the holy Angels.

²⁷And I tell you of a suretie, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they haue seene the kingdome of God.

²⁸And it came to passe about an eyght dayes after those wordes, that he tooke Peter and Iohn, and Iames, and went vp into a mountaine to pray.

²⁹And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was changed, and his garment was white and glistered.

³⁰And beholde, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elias:

³¹Which appeared in glory, and tolde of his departing, which he shoulde accomplish at Hierusalem.
