24And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.
25But He said to them, s“Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, t“Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed
(Matt. 8:28—9:1; Mark 5:1–20)
26uThen they sailed to the country of the 11Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons 12for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs.
28When he saw Jesus, he vcried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, w“What have I to do with xYou, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!”
29For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him.
31And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out yinto the abyss.
32Now a herd of many zswine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.
33Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
34When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, asitting at the bfeet of Jesus, clothed and in his cright mind. And they were afraid.
36They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was 13healed.
37dThen the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the 14Gadarenes easked Him to fdepart from them, for they were seized with great gfear. And He got into the boat and returned.
38Now hthe man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39“Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
40So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.
41iAnd behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house,
42for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she jwas dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.
43kNow a woman, having a lflow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44came from behind and mtouched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” When all denied it, Peter 15and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, 16and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
46But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived npower going out from Me.”
47Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
48And He said to her, “Daughter, 17be of good cheer; oyour faith has made you well. pGo in peace.”
49qWhile He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the 18Teacher.”
50But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; ronly believe, and she will be made well.”
51When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go 19in except 20Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
52Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, s“Do not weep; she is not dead, tbut sleeping.”
53And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
54But He 21put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, uarise.”
55Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.
56And her parents were astonished, but vHe charged them to tell no one what had happened.
Luke 9
Sending Out the Twelve
(Matt. 10:5–15)
1Then aHe called His twelve disciples together and bgave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2cHe sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3dAnd He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.
4e“Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.
5f“And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, gshake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6hSo they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
Herod Seeks to See Jesus
(Matt. 14:1–12; Mark 6:14–29)
7iNow Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9Herod said, “John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?” jSo he sought to see Him.
Feeding the Five Thousand
(Matt. 14:13–21; Mark 6:30–44; John 6:1–15)
10kAnd the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. lThen He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
12mWhen the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.”
13But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
14For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.”
15And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He nblessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17So they all ate and were 1filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
(Matt. 16:13–20; Mark 8:27–30)
18oAnd it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
19So they answered and said, p“John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” qPeter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection
(Matt. 16:20–23; Mark 8:30–33)
21rAnd He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22saying, s“The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, a
nd be raised the third day.”
Take Up the Cross and Follow Him
(Matt. 16:24–27; Mark 8:34–38)
23tThen He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross 2daily, and follow Me.
24u“For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
25v“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?
26w“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be xashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.
Jesus Transfigured on the Mount
(Matt. 16:28–17:9; Mark 9:2–10; 2 Pet. 1:16–18)
27y“But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”
28zNow it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.
30And behold, two men talked with Him, who were aMoses and bElijah,
31who appeared in glory and spoke of His 3decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32But Peter and those with him cwere heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.
33Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three 4tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.
34While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the dcloud.
35And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, e“This is 5My beloved Son. fHear Him!”
36When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. gBut they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
A Boy Is Healed
(Matt. 17:14–21; Mark 9:14–29)
37hNow it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him.
38Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child.
39“And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him.
40“So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
41Then Jesus answered and said, “O 6faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and 7bear with you? Bring your son here.”
42And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.
Jesus Again Predicts His Death
(Matt. 17:22, 23; Mark 9:30–32)
43And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,
44i“Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
45jBut they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.
Who Is the Greatest?
(Matt. 18:1–5; Mark 9:33–37)
46kThen a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest.
47And Jesus, lperceiving the thought of their heart, took a mlittle child and set him by Him,
48and said to them, n“Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and owhoever receives Me preceives Him who sent Me. qFor he who is least among you all will be great.”
Jesus Forbids Sectarianism
(Mark 9:38–41)
49rNow John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
50But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for she who is not against 8us is on 9our side.”
A Samaritan Village Rejects the Savior
51Now it came to pass, when the time had come for tHim to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,
52and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.
53But uthey did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.
54And when His disciples vJames and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, 10just as wElijah did?”
55But He turned and rebuked them, 11and said, “You do not know what manner of xspirit you are of.
5612“For ythe Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.
The Cost of Discipleship
(Matt. 8:18–22)
57zNow it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”
58And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man ahas nowhere to lay His head.”
59bThen He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
60Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”
61And another also said, “Lord, cI will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.”
62But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is dfit for the kingdom of God.”
Luke 10
The Seventy Sent Out
1After these things the Lord appointed 1seventy others also, and asent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.
2Then He said to them, b“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore cpray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.
3“Go your way; dbehold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4e“Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and fgreet no one along the road.
5g“But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6“And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.
7h“And remain in the same house, ieating and drinking such things as they give, for jthe laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8“Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
9k“And heal the sick there, and say to them, l‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
10“But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11m‘The very dust of your city which clings to 2us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’
123“But I say to you that nit will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.
Woe to the Impenitent Cities
(Matt. 11:20–24)
13o“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! pFor if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14“But it will be more tolerable for Tȳre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
15q“And you, Capernaum, 4who are rexalted to heaven, swill be brought down to Hades.
16t“He who hears you hears Me, uhe who rejects you rejects Me, and vhe who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”
The Seventy Return with Joy
17Then wthe 5seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
18And He said to them, x“I saw Sata
n fall like lightning from heaven.
19“Behold, yI give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20“Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but 6rather rejoice because zyour names are written in heaven.”
Jesus Rejoices in the Spirit
(Matt. 11:25–27)
21aIn that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.
22b“All7 things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and cno one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
23Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, d“Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;
24“for I tell you ethat many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
(Matt. 22:34–40; Mark 12:28–34)
25And behold, a certain 8lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, f“Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
27So he answered and said, g“‘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 h‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
28And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and iyou will live.”
29But he, wanting to jjustify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among 9thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31“Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, khe passed by on the other side.
32“Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.
33“But a certain lSamaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had mcompassion.
