⥃The Ministry of the Twelve ^{[ Matthew 10:5–15 † Mark 6:7–13 ]}

[1] The²n he called his twelve disciples together, and gave³ them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. [2] And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.⁴ [3] And he said unto them, Take⁵ nothing for [your] journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two⁶ coats apiece. [4] And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.⁷ [5] And whosoever⁸ will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake⁹ off the very dust from your feet for a testimony¹⁰ against them. [6] And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.¹¹

⥃Herod Tries to See Jesus ^{[ Matthew 14:1–12 † Mark 6:14–29 ]}

[7] Now Herod¹² the tetrarch¹³ he¹⁴ard 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;¹⁵ [8] And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.¹⁶ [9] And Herod said, John¹⁷ have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he¹⁸ desired to see him.

⥃The Feeding of the Five Thousand ^{[ Matthew 14:13–21 † Mark 6:30–44 † John 6:1–15 ]}

[10] And the apostles¹⁹, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took²⁰ them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida²¹. [11] And the people, when²² they knew [it], followed him: and he²³ received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom²⁴ of God, and healed²⁵ them that had need of healing. [12] And when²⁶ the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send²⁷ the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for²⁸ we are here in a desert place. [13] But he said unto them, Give²⁹ ye them to eat. And they said, We have³⁰ no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. [14] For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make³¹ them sit down by fifties in a company. [15] And they did so, and made them all sit down. [16] Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking³² up to heaven, he blessed³³ them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. [17] And they did eat³⁴, and were³⁵ all filled: and there³⁶ was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

⥃Peter’s Confession of Christ ^{[ Matthew 16:13–20 † Mark 8:27–30 † John 6:67–71 ]}

[18] And it came to pas³⁷s, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom³⁸ say the people that I am? [19] They answering said, John³⁹ the Baptist; but some [say], Elias; and others [say], that one of the old⁴⁰ prophets is risen again. [20] He said unto them, But whom⁴¹ say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The⁴² Christ of God.

⥃Christ’s Passion Foretold ^{[ Matthew 16:21–23 † Mark 8:31–33 ]}

[21] And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing;⁴³ [22] 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.⁴⁴

⥃Take Up Your Cross ^{[ Matthew 16:24–28 † Mark 8:34–38 ]}

[23] And he said to [them] all, If⁴⁵ any [man] will come after me, let him deny⁴⁶ himself, and take up his cross daily⁴⁷, and follow me. [24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.⁴⁸ [25] For what⁴⁹ is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself⁵⁰, or be⁵¹ cast away? [26] For whosoever⁵² shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him⁵³ shall the Son of man be ashamed, when⁵⁴ he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father’s, and of the holy angels. [27] But I tell⁵⁵ you of a truth, there be some⁵⁶ standing here, which shall not taste⁵⁷ of death, till they see⁵⁸ the kingdom of God.

⥃The Transfiguration ^{[ Matthew 17:1–13 † Mark 9:1–13 † 2 Peter 1:16–21 ]}

[28] And it came to pass about⁵⁹ an eight days after these sayings⁶⁰, he⁶¹ took Peter and John and James, and went up into⁶² a mountain to pray. [29] And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment [was] white [and] glistering.⁶³ [30] And, behold, there talked with him two men, which⁶⁴ were Moses and Elias⁶⁵: [31] Who appeared⁶⁶ in glory, and spake⁶⁷ of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. [32] But Peter and they that were with him were heavy⁶⁸ with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw⁶⁹ his glory, and the two men that stood with him. [33] And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is⁷⁰ good for us to be here: and let⁷¹ us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not⁷² knowing what he said. [34] While he thus spake, there⁷³ came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they⁷⁴ feared as they entered into the cloud. [35] And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This⁷⁵ is my beloved Son: hear⁷⁶ him. [36] And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they⁷⁷ kept [it] close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

⥃The Boy with an Evil Spirit ^{[ Matthew 17:14–18 † Mark 9:14–29 ]}

[37] And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.⁷⁸ [38] And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look⁷⁹ upon my son: for⁸⁰ he is mine only child. [39] And, lo⁸¹, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. [40] And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they⁸² could not. [41] And Jesus answering said, O faithless⁸³ and perverse⁸⁴ generation, how⁸⁵ long shall I be with you, and suffer⁸⁶ you? Bring⁸⁷ thy son hither. [42] And as he was yet a coming, the devil⁸⁸ threw him down, and tare [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered⁸⁹ him again to his father.

⥃The Second Prediction of the Passion ^{[ Matthew 17:22–23 † Mark 9:30–32 ]}

[43] And they were all amazed⁹⁰ at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, [44] Let these⁹¹ sayings sink down into your ears: for⁹² the Son of man shall be delivered into⁹³ the hands of men. [45] 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.⁹⁴

⥃The Greatest in the Kingdom ^{[ Matthew 18:1–5 † Mark 9:33–41 ]}

[46] Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.⁹⁵ [47] And Jesus, perceiving⁹⁶ the thought of their heart, took⁹⁷ a child, and set him by him, [48] And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this⁹⁸ child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that⁹⁹ is least among you all, the same shall be great.

[49] And John answered and said, Master, we saw¹⁰⁰ one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. [50] And Jesus said unto him, For¹⁰¹bid¹⁰² [him] not: for he that is not against us is for us.

⥃The Samaritans Reject Jesus

[51] And it came to pass, when the time was come that¹⁰³ he should be received up, he stedfastly¹⁰⁴ set his face to go to Jerusalem, [52] And sent¹⁰⁵ messengers before his face: and they¹⁰⁶ went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans¹⁰⁷, to make ready for him. [53] And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.¹⁰⁸ [54] And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt¹⁰⁹ thou that we command fire¹¹⁰ to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? [55] But he turned, and rebuked¹¹¹ them, and said, Ye know¹¹² not what manner of spirit ye are of. [56] For the Son¹¹³ of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save [them]. And¹¹⁴ they went to another village.

⥃The Cost of Discipleship ^{[ Matthew 8:18–22 † Luke 14:25–33 † John 6:59–66 ]}

[57] And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain¹¹⁵ [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. [58] And Jesus¹¹⁶ said unto him, Foxes¹¹⁷ have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head. [59] And he said unto another, Follow me¹¹⁸. But he said, Lord, suffer¹¹⁹ me first to go and bury my father. [60] Jesus said unto him, Let¹²⁰ the dead bury their dead: but¹²¹ go thou and preach the kingdom of God. [61] And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but¹²² let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. [62] And Jesus said unto him, No¹²³ man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
