1Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2And hee sent them foorth to preach the kingdome of God, and to cure the sicke. 3And he sayd to them, Take nothing to your iourney, neither staues, nor scrip, neither bread, nor siluer, neither haue two coates apiece. 4And whatsoever 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, & went through euery towne preaching the Gospel, and healing euery where. 7Now 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; 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 the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city 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, & get meate: for we are here in a desart place. 13But 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. 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 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. 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 pass, as he 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 commaunded them, that they should tell that to no man, 22Saying, 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. 23And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24For whosoeuer will saue his life, shal 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 pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain 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: 31Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32But Peter & 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 fro 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 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. 37And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, 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, 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. 40Nowe I haue besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not. 41Then Iesus answered, & 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 amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, 44Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands 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 reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 47When Iesus sawe the thoughtes of their heartes, he tooke a litle childe, & 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 John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. 50Then Iesus saide vnto him, Forbid ye him not: for he that is not against vs, is with vs. 51And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 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 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? 55But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 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 pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever 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. 59And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my 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.
