¹Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.

KJV^G1161 After^G3326 these things^G5023 the Lord^G2962 appointed^G322^(G5656) other^G2087 seventy^G1440 also^G2532, and^G2532 sent^G649^(G5656) them^G846 two^G303 and two^G1417 before^G4253 his^G846 face^G4383 into^G1519 every^G3956 city^G4172 and^G2532 place^G5117, whither^G3757^(G5625)^G3739 he himself^G846 would^G3195^(G5707) come^G2064^(G5738).

² Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.

KJVTherefore^G3767 said he^G3004^(G5707) unto^G4314 them^G846, The harvest^G2326 truly^G3303 is great^G4183, but^G1161 the labourers^G2040 are few^G3641: pray ye^G1189^(G5676) therefore^G3767 the Lord^G2962 of the harvest^G2326, that^G3704 he would send forth^G1544^(G5725) labourers^G2040 into^G1519 his^G846 harvest^G2326.

³ Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

KJVGo your ways^G5217^(G5720): behold^G2400^(G5628), I^G1473 send^G649 you^G5209 forth^G649^(G5719) as^G5613 lambs^G704 among^G1722^G3319 wolves^G3074.

⁴ Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.

KJVCarry^G941^(G5720) neither^G3361 purse^G905, nor^G3361 scrip^G4082, nor^G3366 shoes^G5266: and^G2532 salute^G782^(G5667) no man^G3367 by^G2596 the way^G3598.

⁵ Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

KJVAnd^G1161 into^G1519 whatsoever^G3739^G302 house^G3614 ye enter^G1525^(G5741), first^G4412 say^G3004^(G5720), Peace^G1515 be to this^G5129 house^G3624.

⁶ If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437^G3303 the son^G5207 of peace^G1515 be^G5600^(G5753) there^G1563, your^G5216 peace^G1515 shall rest^G1879^(G5695) upon^G1909 it^G846: if not^G1490, it shall turn^G344 to^G1909 you^G5209 again^G344^(G5692).

⁷ Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.

KJVAnd^G1161 in^G1722 the same^G846 house^G3614 remain^G3306^(G5720), eating^G2068^(G5723) and^G2532 drinking^G4095^(G5723) such things as^G3844 they^G846 give^G3844: for^G1063 the labourer^G2040 is^G2076^(G5748) worthy^G514 of his^G846 hire^G3408. Go^G3327^(G5720) not^G3361 from^G1537 house^G3614 to^G1519 house^G3614.

⁸ Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

KJVAnd^G2532 into^G1519 whatsoever^G1161^G3739^G302 city^G4172 ye enter^G1525^(G5741), and^G2532 they receive^G1209^(G5741) you^G5209, eat such things^G2068^(G5720) as are set before^G3908^(G5746) you^G5213:

⁹ Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’

KJVAnd^G2532 heal^G2323^(G5720) the sick^G772 that are therein^G1722^G846, and^G2532 say^G3004^(G5720) unto them^G846, The kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 is come nigh^G1448^(G5758) unto^G1909 you^G5209.

¹⁰ But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,

KJVBut^G1161 into^G1519 whatsoever^G3739^G302 city^G4172 ye enter^G1525^(G5741), and^G2532 they receive^G1209^(G5741) you^G5209 not^G3361, go your ways out^G1831^(G5631) into^G1519 the streets^G4113 of the same^G846, and say^G2036^(G5628),

¹¹ ‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’

KJVEven^G2532 the very dust^G2868 of^G1537 your^G5216 city^G4172, which^G3588 cleaveth^G2853^(G5685) on us^G2254, we do wipe off^G631^(G5731) against you^G5213: notwithstanding^G4133 be ye sure^G1097^(G5720) of this^G5124, that^G3754 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 is come nigh^G1448^(G5758) unto^G1909 you^G5209.

¹² I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

KJVBut^G1161 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, that^G3754 it shall be^G2071^(G5704) more tolerable^G414 in^G1722 that^G1565 day^G2250 for Sodom^G4670, than^G2228 for that^G1565 city^G4172.

¹³ “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, 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.

KJVWoe^G3759 unto thee^G4671, Chorazin^G5523! woe^G3759 unto thee^G4671, Bethsaida^G966! for^G3754 if^G1487 the mighty works^G1411 had been done^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 Tyre^G5184 and^G2532 Sidon^G4605, which^G3588 have been done^G1096^(G5637) in^G1722 you^G5213, they had^G3340 a great while ago^G3819 repented^G3340^(G5656), sitting^G2521^(G5740) in^G302^G1722 sackcloth^G4526 and^G2532 ashes^G4700.

¹⁴ But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

KJVBut^G4133 it shall be^G2071^(G5704) more tolerable^G414 for Tyre^G5184 and^G2532 Sidon^G4605 at^G1722 the judgment^G2920, than^G2228 for you^G5213.

¹⁵ You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.

KJVAnd^G2532 thou^G4771, Capernaum^G2584, which^G3588 art exalted^G5312^(G5685) to^G2193 heaven^G3772, shalt be thrust down^G2601^(G5701) to^G2193 hell^G86.

¹⁶ Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

KJVHe that heareth^G191^(G5723) you^G5216 heareth^G191^(G5719) me^G1700; and^G2532 he that despiseth^G114^(G5723) you^G5209 despiseth^G114^(G5719) me^G1691; and^G1161 he that despiseth^G114^(G5723) me^G1691 despiseth^G114^(G5719) him that sent^G649^(G5660) me^G3165.

¹⁷ The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

KJVAnd^G1161 the seventy^G1440 returned again^G5290^(G5656) with^G3326 joy^G5479, saying^G3004^(G5723), Lord^G2962, even^G2532 the devils^G1140 are subject^G5293^(G5743) unto us^G2254 through^G1722 thy^G4675 name^G3686.

¹⁸ He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, I beheld^G2334^(G5707) Satan^G4567 as^G5613 lightning^G796 fall^G4098^(G5631) from^G1537 heaven^G3772.

¹⁹ Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.

KJVBehold^G2400^(G5628), I give^G1325^(G5719) unto you^G5213 power^G1849 to tread^G3961^(G5721) on^G1883 serpents^G3789 and^G2532 scorpions^G4651, and^G2532 over^G1909 all^G3956 the power^G1411 of the enemy^G2190: and^G2532 nothing^G3762 shall^G91 by any means^G3364 hurt^G91^(G5661)^(G5625)^G91^(G5692) you^G5209.

²⁰ Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

KJVNotwithstanding^G4133 in^G1722 this^G5129 rejoice^G5463^(G5720) not^G3361, that^G3754 the spirits^G4151 are subject^G5293^(G5743) unto you^G5213; but^G1161 rather^G3123 rejoice^G5463^(G5720), because^G3754 your^G5216 names^G3686 are written^G1125^(G5648) in^G1722 heaven^G3772.

²¹ In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”

KJVIn^G1722 that^G846 hour^G5610 Jesus^G2424 rejoiced in^G21^(G5662) spirit^G4151, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), I thank^G1843^(G5731) thee^G4671, O Father^G3962, Lord^G2962 of heaven^G3772 and^G2532 earth^G1093, that^G3754 thou hast hid^G613^(G5656) these things^G5023 from^G575 the wise^G4680 and^G2532 prudent^G4908, and^G2532 hast revealed^G601^(G5656) them^G846 unto babes^G3516: even so^G3483, Father^G3962; for^G3754 so^G3779 it seemed^G1096^(G5633) good^G2107 in^G1715 thy^G4675 sight^G1715.

²² Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

KJVAll things^G3956 are delivered^G3860^(G5681) to me^G3427 of^G5259 my^G3450 Father^G3962: and^G2532 no man^G3762 knoweth^G1097^(G5719) who^G5101 the Son^G5207 is^G2076^(G5748), but^G1508 the Father^G3962; and^G2532 who^G5101 the Father^G3962 is^G2076^(G5748), but^G1508 the Son^G5207, and^G2532 he to whom^G3739^G1437 the Son^G5207 will^G1014^(G5741) reveal^G601^(G5658) him.

²³ Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

KJVAnd^G2532 he turned him^G4762^(G5651) unto^G4314 his disciples^G3101, and said^G2036^(G5627) privately^G2398^G2596, Blessed^G3107 are the eyes^G3788 which^G3588 see^G991^(G5723) the things that^G3739 ye see^G991^(G5719):

²⁴ for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”

KJVFor^G1063 I tell^G3004^(G5719) you^G5213, that^G3754 many^G4183 prophets^G4396 and^G2532 kings^G935 have desired^G2309^(G5656) to see^G1492^(G5629) those things which^G3739 ye^G5210 see^G991^(G5719), and^G2532 have^G1492 not^G3756 seen^G1492^(G5627) them; and^G2532 to hear^G191^(G5658) those things which^G3739 ye hear^G191^(G5719), and^G2532 have^G191 not^G3756 heard^G191^(G5656) them.

²⁵ Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), a certain^G5100 lawyer^G3544 stood up^G450^(G5627), and^G2532 tempted^G1598^(G5723) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G1320, what^G5101 shall I do^G4160^(G5660) to inherit^G2816^(G5692) eternal^G166 life^G2222?

²⁶ He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”

KJV^G1161 He said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, What^G5101 is written^G1125^(G5769) in^G1722 the law^G3551? how^G4459 readest thou^G314^(G5719)?

²⁷ He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627), Thou shalt love^G25^(G5692) the Lord^G2962 thy^G4675 God^G2316 with^G1537 all^G3650 thy^G4675 heart^G2588, and^G2532 with^G1537 all^G3650 thy^G4675 soul^G5590, and^G2532 with^G1537 all^G3650 thy^G4675 strength^G2479, and^G2532 with^G1537 all^G3650 thy^G4675 mind^G1271; and^G2532 thy^G4675 neighbour^G4139 as^G5613 thyself^G4572.

²⁸ He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Thou hast answered^G611^(G5662) right^G3723: this^G5124 do^G4160^(G5720), and^G2532 thou shalt live^G2198^(G5692).

²⁹ But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”

KJVBut^G1161 he, willing^G2309^(G5723) to justify^G1344^(G5721) himself^G1438, said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 Jesus^G2424, And^G2532 who^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) my^G3450 neighbour^G4139?

³⁰ Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 answering^G5274^(G5631) said^G2036^(G5627), A certain^G5100 man^G444 went down^G2597^(G5707) from^G575 Jerusalem^G2419 to^G1519 Jericho^G2410, and^G2532 fell among^G4045^(G5627) thieves^G3027, which^G3739^G2532 stripped^G1562 him^G846 of his raiment^G1562^(G5660), and^G2532 wounded^G4127^G2007^(G5631) him, and departed^G565^(G5627), leaving^G863^(G5631) him half dead^G2253^G5177^(G5723).

³¹ By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

KJVAnd^G1161 by^G2596 chance^G4795 there came down^G2597^(G5707) a certain^G5100 priest^G2409 that^G1722^G1565 way^G3598: and^G2532 when he saw^G1492^(G5631) him^G846, he passed by on the other side^G492^(G5627).

³² In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

KJVAnd^G1161 likewise^G3668^G2532 a Levite^G3019, when he was^G1096^(G5637) at^G2596 the place^G5117, came^G2064^(G5631) and^G2532 looked^G1492^(G5631) on him, and passed by on the other side^G492^(G5627).

³³ But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

KJVBut^G1161 a certain^G5100 Samaritan^G4541, as he journeyed^G3593^(G5723), came^G2064^(G5627) where^G2596 he was^G846: and^G2532 when he saw^G1492^(G5631) him^G846, he had compassion^G4697^(G5675) on him,

³⁴ came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

KJVAnd^G2532 went^G4334^(G5631) to him, and bound up^G2611^(G5656) his^G846 wounds^G5134, pouring in^G2022^(G5723) oil^G1637 and^G2532 wine^G3631, and^G1161 set^G1913^(G5660) him^G846 on^G1909 his own^G2398 beast^G2934, and brought^G71^(G5627) him^G846 to^G1519 an inn^G3829, and^G2532 took care^G1959^(G5675) of him^G846.

³⁵ On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’

KJVAnd^G2532 on^G1909 the morrow^G839 when he departed^G1831^(G5631), he took out^G1544^(G5631) two^G1417 pence^G1220, and gave^G1325^(G5656) them to the host^G3830, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Take care^G1959^(G5682) of him^G846; and^G2532 whatsoever^G3748^G302 thou spendest more^G4325^(G5661), when I^G3165 come again^G1722^G1880^(G5738), I^G1473 will repay^G591^(G5692) thee^G4671.

³⁶ Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”

KJVWhich^G5101 now^G3767 of these^G5130 three^G5140, thinkest^G1380^(G5719) thou^G4671, was^G1096^(G5755) neighbour^G4139 unto him that fell^G1706^(G5631) among^G1519 the thieves^G3027?

³⁷ He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627), He that shewed^G4160^(G5660) mercy^G1656 on^G3326 him^G846. Then^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 unto him^G846, Go^G4198^(G5737), and^G2532 do^G4160^(G5720) thou^G4771 likewise^G3668.

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

KJVNow^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), as^G1722 they^G846 went^G4198^(G5738), that^G2532 he^G846 entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 a certain^G5100 village^G2968: and^G1161 a certain^G5100 woman^G1135 named^G3686 Martha^G3136 received^G5264^(G5662) him^G846 into^G1519 her^G846 house^G3624.

³⁹ She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.

KJVAnd^G2532 she^G3592 had^G2258^(G5713) a sister^G79 called^G2564^(G5746) Mary^G3137, which^G3739 also^G2532 sat^G3869^(G5660) at^G3844 Jesus^G2424' feet^G4228, and heard^G191^(G5707) his^G846 word^G3056.

⁴⁰ But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”

KJVBut^G1161 Martha^G3136 was cumbered^G4049^(G5712) about^G4012 much^G4183 serving^G1248, and^G1161 came to him^G2186^(G5631), and said^G2036^(G5627), Lord^G2962, dost^G3199 thou^G4671 not^G3756 care^G3199^(G5719) that^G3754 my^G3450 sister^G79 hath left^G2641^(G5627) me^G3165 to serve^G1247^(G5721) alone^G3441? bid^G2036^(G5628) her^G846 therefore^G3767 that^G2443 she help^G4878^(G5638) me^G3427.

⁴¹ Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, Martha^G3136, Martha^G3136, thou art careful^G3309^(G5719) and^G2532 troubled^G5182^(G5743) about^G4012 many things^G4183:

⁴² but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

KJVBut^G1161 one thing^G1520 is^G2076^(G5748) needful^G5532: and^G1161 Mary^G3137 hath chosen^G1586^(G5668) that good^G18 part^G3310, which^G3748 shall^G851 not^G3756 be taken away^G851^(G5701) from^G575 her^G846.

KJVThen^G1161 he called^G4779 his^G846 twelve^G1427 disciples^G3101 together^G4779^(G5671), and^G2532 gave^G1325^(G5656) them^G846 power^G1411 and authority^G1849 over^G1909 all^G3956 devils^G1140, and^G2532 to cure^G2323^(G5721) diseases^G3554.

² He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.

KJVAnd^G2532 he sent^G649^(G5656) them^G846 to preach^G2784^(G5721) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, and^G2532 to heal^G2390^(G5738) the sick^G770^(G5723).

³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Take^G142^(G5720) nothing^G3367 for^G1519 your journey^G3598, neither^G3383 staves^G4464, nor^G3383 scrip^G4082, neither^G3383 bread^G740, neither^G3383 money^G694; neither^G3383 have^G2192^(G5721) two^G1417 coats^G5509 apiece^G303.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

KJVAnd^G2532 whatsoever^G3739^G302 house^G3614 ye enter^G1525^(G5632) into^G1519, there^G1563 abide^G3306^(G5720), and^G2532 thence^G1564 depart^G1831^(G5737).

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever^G3745^G302 will^G1209 not^G3361 receive^G1209^(G5667) you^G5209, when ye go^G1831^(G5740) out of^G575 that^G1565 city^G4172, shake off^G660^(G5657) the very^G2532 dust^G2868 from^G575 your^G5216 feet^G4228 for^G1519 a testimony^G3142 against^G1909 them^G846.

⁶ They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.

KJVAnd^G1161 they departed^G1831^(G5740), and went^G1330^(G5711) through^G2596 the towns^G2968, preaching the gospel^G2097^(G5734), and^G2532 healing^G2323^(G5723) every where^G3837.

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

KJVNow^G1161 Herod^G2264 the tetrarch^G5076 heard^G191^(G5656) of all^G3956 that was done^G1096^(G5740) by^G5259 him^G846: and^G2532 he was perplexed^G1280^(G5707), because^G1223 that it was said^G3004^(G5745) of^G5259 some^G5100, that^G3754 John^G2491 was risen^G1453^(G5769) from^G1537 the dead^G3498;

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

KJVAnd^G1161 of^G5259 some^G5100, that^G3754 Elias^G2243 had appeared^G5316^(G5648); and^G1161 of others^G243, that^G3754 one^G1520 of the old^G744 prophets^G4396 was risen again^G450^(G5627).

⁹ Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

KJVAnd^G2532 Herod^G2264 said^G2036^(G5627), John^G2491 have^G607 I^G1473 beheaded^G607^(G5656): but^G1161 who^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) this^G3778, of^G4012 whom^G3739 I^G1473 hear^G191^(G5719) such things^G5108? And^G2532 he desired^G2212^(G5707) to see^G1492^(G5629) him^G846.

¹⁰ The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

KJVAnd^G2532 the apostles^G652, when they were returned^G5290^(G5660), told^G1334^(G5662) him^G846 all that^G3745 they had done^G4160^(G5656). And^G2532 he took^G3880^(G5631) them^G846, and went aside^G5298^(G5656) privately^G2596^G2398 into^G1519 a desert^G2048 place^G5117 belonging to the city^G4172 called^G2564^(G5746) Bethsaida^G966.

¹¹ But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.

KJVAnd^G1161 the people^G3793, when they knew^G1097^(G5631) it, followed^G190^(G5656) him^G846: and^G2532 he received^G1209^(G5666) them^G846, and spake^G2980^(G5707) unto them^G846 of^G4012 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, and^G2532 healed^G2390^(G5711) them that had^G2192^(G5723) need^G5532 of healing^G2322.

¹² The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

KJVAnd^G1161 when the day^G2250 began^G756^(G5662) to wear away^G2827^(G5721), then^G1161 came^G4334^(G5631) the twelve^G1427, and said^G2036^(G5632) unto him^G846, Send^G630 the multitude^G3793 away^G630^(G5657), that^G2443 they may go^G565^(G5631) into^G1519 the towns^G2968 and^G2532 country^G68 round about^G2945, and lodge^G2647^(G5661), and^G2532 get^G2147^(G5627) victuals^G1979: for^G3754 we are^G2070^(G5748) here^G5602 in^G1722 a desert^G2048 place^G5117.

¹³ But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”

KJVBut^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Give^G1325^(G5628) ye^G5210 them^G846 to eat^G5315^(G5629). And^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627), We^G2254 have no^G3756^G1526^(G5748) more^G4119 but^G2228 five^G4002 loaves^G740 and^G2532 two^G1417 fishes^G2486; except^G1509 we^G2249 should go^G4198^(G5679) and buy^G59^(G5661) meat^G1033 for^G1519 all^G3956 this^G5126 people^G2992.

¹⁴ For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

KJVFor^G1063 they were^G2258^(G5713) about^G5616 five thousand^G4000 men^G435. And^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) to^G4314 his^G846 disciples^G3101, Make^G2625 them^G846 sit down^G2625^(G5657) by^G303 fifties^G4004 in a company^G2828.

¹⁵ They did so, and made them all sit down.

KJVAnd^G2532 they did^G4160^(G5656) so^G3779, and^G2532 made^G347 them all^G537 sit down^G347^(G5656).

¹⁶ He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

KJVThen^G1161 he took^G2983^(G5631) the five^G4002 loaves^G740 and^G2532 the two^G1417 fishes^G2486, and looking up^G308^(G5660) to^G1519 heaven^G3772, he blessed^G2127^(G5656) them^G846, and^G2532 brake^G2622^(G5656), and^G2532 gave^G1325^(G5707) to the disciples^G3101 to set before^G3908^(G5683) the multitude^G3793.

¹⁷ They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

KJVAnd^G2532 they did eat^G5315^(G5627), and^G2532 were^G5526 all^G3956 filled^G5526^(G5681): and^G2532 there was taken up^G142^(G5681) of fragments^G2801 that remained^G4052^(G5660) to them^G846 twelve^G1427 baskets^G2894.

¹⁸ As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), as^G1722 he was^G1511^(G5750) alone^G2651 praying^G4336^(G5740), his^G846 disciples^G3101 were with^G4895^(G5713) him^G846: and^G2532 he asked^G1905^(G5656) them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Whom^G5101 say^G3004^(G5719) the people^G3793 that I^G3165 am^G1511^(G5750)?

¹⁹ They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

KJVThey^G1161 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627), John^G2491 the Baptist^G910; but^G1161 some^G243 say, Elias^G2243; and^G1161 others^G243 say, that^G3754 one^G5100 of the old^G744 prophets^G4396 is risen again^G450^(G5627).

²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

KJV^G1161 He said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, But^G1161 whom^G5101 say^G3004^(G5719) ye^G5210 that I^G3165 am^G1511^(G5750)?^G1161 Peter^G4074 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627), The Christ^G5547 of God^G2316.

²¹ But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,

KJVAnd^G1161 he straitly charged^G2008^(G5660) them^G846, and commanded^G3853^(G5656) them to tell^G2036^(G5629) no man^G3367 that thing^G5124;

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

KJVSaying^G2036^(G5631),^G3754 The Son^G5207 of man^G444 must^G1163^(G5748) suffer^G3958^(G5629) many things^G4183, and^G2532 be rejected^G593^(G5683) of^G575 the elders^G4245 and^G2532 chief priests^G749 and^G2532 scribes^G1122, and^G2532 be slain^G615^(G5683), and^G2532 be raised^G1453^(G5683) the third^G5154 day^G2250.

²³ He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G3004^(G5707) to^G4314 them all^G3956, If any man^G1536 will^G2309^(G5719) come^G2064^(G5629) after^G3694 me^G3450, let him deny^G533^(G5663) himself^G1438, and^G2532 take up^G142^(G5657) his^G846 cross^G4716 daily^G2250^G2596, and^G2532 follow^G190^(G5720) me^G3427.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.

KJVFor^G1063 whosoever^G3739^G302 will^G2309^(G5725) save^G4982^(G5658) his^G846 life^G5590 shall lose^G622^(G5692) it^G846: but^G1161 whosoever^G3739^G302 will lose^G622^(G5661) his^G846 life^G5590 for my^G1700 sake^G1752, the same^G3778 shall save^G4982^(G5692) it^G846.

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

KJVFor^G1063 what^G5101 is^G5623 a man^G444 advantaged^G5623^(G5743), if he gain^G2770^(G5660) the whole^G3650 world^G2889, and^G1161 lose^G622^(G5660) himself^G1438, or^G2228 be cast away^G2210^(G5685)?

²⁶ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

KJVFor^G1063 whosoever^G3739^G302 shall be ashamed^G1870^(G5680) of me^G3165 and^G2532 of my^G1699 words^G3056, of him^G5126 shall^G1870 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 be ashamed^G1870^(G5700), when^G3752 he shall come^G2064^(G5632) in^G1722 his own^G846 glory^G1391, and^G2532 in his Father's^G3962, and^G2532 of the holy^G40 angels^G32.

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”

KJVBut^G1161 I tell^G3004^(G5719) you^G5213 of a truth^G230, there be^G1526^(G5748) some^G5100 standing^G2476^(G5761) here^G5602, which^G3739 shall^G1089 not^G3364 taste^G1089^(G5695) of death^G2288, till^G2193^G302 they see^G1492^(G5632) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

²⁸ About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633) about^G5616 an eight^G3638 days^G2250 after^G3326 these^G5128 sayings^G3056,^G2532 he took^G3880^(G5631) Peter^G4074 and^G2532 John^G2491 and^G2532 James^G2385, and went up^G305^(G5627) into^G1519 a mountain^G3735 to pray^G4336^(G5664).

²⁹ As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

KJVAnd^G2532 as^G1722 he^G846 prayed^G4336^(G5738), the fashion^G1491 of his^G846 countenance^G4383 was^G1096^(G5633) altered^G2087, and^G2532 his^G846 raiment^G2441 was white^G3022 and glistering^G1823^(G5723).

³⁰ Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), there talked^G4814^(G5707) with him^G846 two^G1417 men^G435, which^G3748 were^G2258^(G5713) Moses^G3475 and^G2532 Elias^G2243:

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

KJVWho^G3739 appeared^G3700^(G5685) in^G1722 glory^G1391, and spake^G3004^(G5707) of his^G846 decease^G1841 which^G3739 he should^G3195^(G5707) accomplish^G4137^(G5721) at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419.

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

KJVBut^G1161 Peter^G4074 and^G2532 they that were with^G4862 him^G846 were^G2258^(G5713) heavy^G916^(G5772) with sleep^G5258: and^G1161 when they were awake^G1235^(G5660), they saw^G1492^(G5627) his^G846 glory^G1391, and^G2532 the two^G1417 men^G435 that stood with^G4921^(G5761) him^G846.

³³ As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), as^G1722 they^G846 departed^G1316^(G5738) from^G575 him^G846, Peter^G4074 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 Jesus^G2424, Master^G1988, it is^G2076^(G5748) good^G2570 for us^G2248 to be^G1511^(G5750) here^G5602: and^G2532 let us make^G4160^(G5661) three^G5140 tabernacles^G4633; one for^G3391 thee^G4671, and^G2532 one for^G3391 Moses^G3475, and^G2532 one for^G3391 Elias^G2243: not^G3361 knowing^G1492^(G5761) what^G3739 he said^G3004^(G5719).

³⁴ While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

KJVWhile^G1161 he^G846 thus^G5023 spake^G3004^(G5723), there came^G1096^(G5633) a cloud^G3507, and^G2532 overshadowed^G1982^(G5656) them^G846: and^G1161 they feared^G5399^(G5675) as^G1722 they^G1565 entered^G1525^(G5629) into^G1519 the cloud^G3507.

³⁵ A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

KJVAnd^G2532 there came^G1096^(G5633) a voice^G5456 out of^G1537 the cloud^G3507, saying^G3004^(G5723), This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) my^G3450 beloved^G27 Son^G5207: hear^G191^(G5720) him^G846.

³⁶ When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

KJVAnd^G2532 when the voice^G5456 was past^G1722^G1096^(G5635), Jesus^G2424 was found^G2147^(G5681) alone^G3441. And^G2532 they^G846 kept it close^G4601^(G5656), and^G2532 told^G518^(G5656) no man^G3762 in^G1722 those^G1565 days^G2250 any^G3762 of those things which^G3739 they had seen^G3708^(G5758).

³⁷ On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that on^G1722 the next^G1836 day^G2250, when they^G846 were come down^G2718^(G5631) from^G575 the hill^G3735, much^G4183 people^G3793 met^G4876^(G5656) him^G846.

³⁸ Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.

KJVAnd,^G2532 behold^G2400^(G5628), a man^G435 of^G575 the company^G3793 cried out^G310^(G5656), saying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G1320, I beseech^G1189^(G5736) thee^G4675, look^G1914^(G5657) upon^G1909 my^G3450 son^G5207: for^G3754 he is^G2076^(G5748) mine^G3427 only child^G3439.

³⁹ Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

KJVAnd^G2532, lo^G2400^(G5628), a spirit^G4151 taketh^G2983^(G5719) him^G846, and^G2532 he suddenly^G1810 crieth out^G2896^(G5719); and^G2532 it teareth^G4682^(G5719) him^G846 that he foameth^G876 again^G3326, and^G2532 bruising^G4937^(G5723) him^G846 hardly^G3425 departeth^G672^(G5719) from^G575 him^G846.

⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

KJVAnd^G2532 I besought^G1189^(G5681) thy^G4675 disciples^G3101 to^G2443 cast^G1544 him^G846 out^G1544^(G5725); and^G2532 they could^G1410^(G5675) not^G3756.

⁴¹ Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627), O^G5599 faithless^G571 and^G2532 perverse^G1294^(G5772) generation^G1074, how^G2193 long^G4219 shall I be^G2071^(G5704) with^G4314 you^G5209, and^G2532 suffer^G430^(G5695) you^G5216? Bring^G4317^(G5628) thy^G4675 son^G5207 hither^G5602.

⁴² While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

KJVAnd^G1161 as he^G846 was^G4334 yet^G2089 a coming^G4334^(G5740), the devil^G1140 threw^G4486 him^G846 down^G4486^(G5656), and^G2532 tare^G4952^(G5656) him. And^G1161 Jesus^G2424 rebuked^G2008^(G5656) the unclean^G169 spirit^G4151, and^G2532 healed^G2390^(G5662) the child^G3816, and^G2532 delivered^G591 him^G846 again^G591^(G5656) to his^G846 father^G3962.

⁴³ They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

KJVAnd^G1161 they were^G1605 all^G3956 amazed^G1605^(G5712) at^G1909 the mighty power^G3168 of God^G2316. But^G1161 while they wondered^G2296^(G5723) every one^G3956 at^G1909 all things^G3956 which^G3739 Jesus^G2424 did^G4160^(G5656), he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 his^G846 disciples^G3101,

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

KJVLet these^G5128 sayings^G3056 sink down^G5087^(G5640) into^G1519 your^G5210^G5216 ears^G3775: for^G1063 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 shall be^G3195^(G5719) delivered^G3860^(G5745) into^G1519 the hands^G5495 of men^G444.

⁴⁵ But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

KJVBut^G1161 they understood not^G50^(G5707) this^G5124 saying^G4487, and^G2532 it was^G2258^(G5713) hid^G3871^(G5772) from^G575 them^G846, that^G3363 they perceived^G143^(G5638) it^G846 not^G3363: and^G2532 they feared^G5399^(G5711) to ask^G2065^(G5658) him^G846 of^G4012 that^G5127 saying^G4487.

⁴⁶ An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.

KJVThen^G1161 there arose^G1525^(G5627) a reasoning^G1261 among^G1722 them^G846, which^G5101^G302 of them^G846 should be^G1498^(G5751) greatest^G3187.

⁴⁷ Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424, perceiving^G1492^(G5631) the thought^G1261 of their^G846 heart^G2588, took^G1949^(G5637) a child^G3813, and set^G2476^(G5656) him^G846 by^G3844 him^G1438,

⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Whosoever^G3739^G1437 shall receive^G1209^(G5667) this^G5124 child^G3813 in^G1909 my^G3450 name^G3686 receiveth^G1209^(G5736) me^G1691: and^G2532 whosoever^G3739^G1437 shall receive^G1209^(G5667) me^G1691 receiveth him^G1209^(G5736) that sent^G649^(G5660) me^G3165: for^G1063 he that is^G5225^(G5723) least^G3398 among^G1722 you^G5213 all^G3956, the same^G3778 shall be^G2071^(G5704) great^G3173.

⁴⁹ John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

KJVAnd^G1161 John^G2491 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627), Master^G1988, we saw^G1492^(G5627) one^G5100 casting out^G1544^(G5723) devils^G1140 in^G1909 thy^G4675 name^G3686; and^G2532 we forbad^G2967^(G5656) him^G846, because^G3754 he followeth^G190^(G5719) not^G3756 with^G3326 us^G2257.

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, Forbid^G2967^(G5720) him not^G3361: for^G1063 he^G3739 that is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 against^G2596 us^G2257 is^G2076^(G5748) for^G5228 us^G2257.

⁵¹ It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), when^G1722 the time^G2250 was come^G4845^(G5745) that he^G846 should be received up^G354,^G2532 he^G846 stedfastly set^G4741^(G5656) his^G846 face^G4383 to go^G4198^(G5738) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419,

⁵² and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

KJVAnd^G2532 sent^G649^(G5656) messengers^G32 before^G4253 his^G846 face^G4383: and^G2532 they went^G4198^(G5679), and entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 a village^G2968 of the Samaritans^G4541, to^G5620 make ready^G2090^(G5658) for him^G846.

⁵³ They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G2532 they did^G1209 not^G3756 receive^G1209^(G5662) him^G846, because^G3754 his^G846 face^G4383 was^G2258^(G5713) as though he would go^G4198^(G5740) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419.

⁵⁴ When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

KJVAnd^G1161 when his^G846 disciples^G3101 James^G2385 and^G2532 John^G2491 saw^G1492^(G5631) this, they said^G2036^(G5627), Lord^G2962, wilt thou^G2309^(G5719) that we command^G2036^(G5632) fire^G4442 to come down^G2597^(G5629) from^G575 heaven^G3772, and^G2532 consume^G355^(G5658) them^G846, even^G2532 as^G5613 Elias^G2243 did^G4160^(G5656)?

⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

KJVBut^G1161 he turned^G4762^(G5651), and rebuked^G2008^(G5656) them^G846, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Ye know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 what manner^G3634 of spirit^G4151 ye^G5210 are of^G2075^(G5748).

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

KJVFor^G1063 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 is^G2064 not^G3756 come^G2064^(G5627) to destroy^G622^(G5658) men's^G444 lives^G5590, but^G235 to save^G4982^(G5658) them. And^G2532 they went^G4198^(G5675) to^G1519 another^G2087 village^G2968.

⁵⁷ As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that, as they^G846 went^G4198^(G5740) in^G1722 the way^G3598, a certain^G5100 man said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, Lord^G2962, I will follow^G190^(G5692) thee^G4671 whithersoever^G3699^G302 thou goest^G565^(G5741).

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Foxes^G258 have^G2192^(G5719) holes^G5454, and^G2532 birds^G4071 of the air^G3772 have nests^G2682; but^G1161 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 hath^G2192^(G5719) not^G3756 where^G4226 to lay^G2827^(G5725) his head^G2776.

⁵⁹ He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 another^G2087, Follow^G190^(G5720) me^G3427. But^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627), Lord^G2962, suffer^G2010^(G5657) me^G3427 first^G4412 to go^G565^(G5631) and bury^G2290^(G5658) my^G3450 father^G3962.

⁶⁰ But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

KJV^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Let^G863^(G5628) the dead^G3498 bury^G2290^(G5658) their^G1438 dead^G3498: but^G1161 go^G565^(G5631) thou^G4771 and preach^G1229^(G5720) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

⁶¹ Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

KJVAnd^G1161 another^G2087 also^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Lord^G2962, I will follow^G190^(G5692) thee^G4671; but^G1161 let^G2010^(G5657) me^G3427 first^G4412 go bid them farewell^G657^(G5670), which are at home at^G1519 my^G3450 house^G3624.

⁶² But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, No man^G3762, having put^G1911^(G5631) his^G846 hand^G5495 to^G1909 the plough^G723, and^G2532 looking^G991^(G5723) back^G1519^G3694, is^G2076^(G5748) fit^G2111 for^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.
