Luke 9:31-62

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

³²But Peter and they that were with him, were heauie with sleepe, and when they awoke, they saw his glorie, and the two men standing with him.

³³And it came to passe, as they departed from him, Peter said vnto Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: let vs therefore make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias, and wist not what he said.

³⁴Whiles he thus spake, there came a cloude and ouershadowed them, and they feared when they were entring into the cloude.

³⁵And there came a voyce out of the cloud, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, heare him.

³⁶And when the voyce was past, Iesus was found alone: and they kept it close, and tolde no man in those dayes any of those things which they had seene.

³⁷And it came to passe on the next day, as they came downe from the mountaine, much people met him.

³⁸And beholde, a man of the companie cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, beholde my sonne: for he is all that I haue.

³⁹And loe, a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and he teareth him, that he fometh, and hardly departeth from him, when he hath bruised him.

⁴⁰Nowe I haue besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not.

⁴¹Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, howe long now shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring thy sonne hither.

⁴²And whiles he was yet comming, the deuill rent him, and tare him: and Iesus rebuked the vncleane spirite, and healed the childe, and deliuered him to his father.

⁴³And they were all amased at the mightie power of God: and while they all wondered at al things, which Iesus did, he said vnto his disciples,

⁴⁴Marke these wordes diligently: for it shall come to passe, that the Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men.

⁴⁵But they vnderstood not that word: for it was hid from them, so that they could not perceiue it: and they feared to aske him of that worde.

⁴⁶Then there arose a disputation among them, which of them should be the greatest.

⁴⁷When Iesus sawe the thoughtes of their heartes, he tooke a litle childe, and set him by him,

⁴⁸And said vnto them, Whosoeuer receiueth this litle childe in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer shall receiue me, receiueth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, he shall be great.

⁴⁹And Iohn answered and saide, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils in thy Name, and we forbad him, because he followeth thee not with vs.

⁵⁰Then Iesus saide vnto him, Forbid ye him not: for he that is not against vs, is with vs.

⁵¹And it came to passe, when the dayes were accomplished, that he should be receiued vp, he setled himselfe fully to goe to Hierusalem,

⁵²And sent messengers before him: and they went and entred into a towne of the Samaritans, to prepare him lodging.

⁵³But they woulde not receiue him, because his behauiour was, as though he would go to Hierusalem.

⁵⁴And when his disciples, Iames and Iohn sawe it, they saide, Lord, wilt thou that we commaund, that fire come downe from heauen, and consume them, euen as Elias did?

⁵⁵But Iesus turned about, and rebuked them, and said, Ye knowe not of what spirit ye are.

⁵⁶For the Sonne of man is not come to destroy mens liues, but to saue them. Then they went to another towne.

⁵⁷And it came to passe that as they went in the way, a certaine man said vnto him, I will follow thee, Lord, whithersoeuer thou goest.

⁵⁸And Iesus saide vnto him, The foxes haue holes, and the birdes of the heauen nestes, but the Sonne of man hath not whereon to lay his head.

⁵⁹But he said vnto another, Followe me. And the same said, Lord, suffer me first to goe and burie my father.

⁶⁰And Iesus said vnto him, Let the dead burie their dead: but go thou, and preache the kingdome of God.

⁶¹Then another saide, I will follow thee, Lord: but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at mine house.

⁶²And Iesus saide vnto him, No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh backe, is apt to the kingdome of God.
