But they said, "There is nothing more than five loaves and two fish with us, unless we go and buy food for all the people." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>For there were about five thousand men.

Listen to Him!" <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>And as the voice ended, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and told no one in those days of anything that they had seen.</p> <a name="37" id="37"></a><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>Now it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>And a man in the crowd immediately cried out, saying, "Master, I beseech You, look upon my son, because he is my only child; <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>And a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it throws him into convulsions with foaming, and then departs from him with difficulty, leaving him bruised. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>And I besought Your disciples, that they might cast it out; but they were not able." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>Then Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring your son here." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>And as he was approaching, the demon flung him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.</p> <a name="43" id="43"></a><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>And all were astonished at the majesty of God. And while everyone was wondering about all the things that Jesus had done, He said to His disciples. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>"Let these words sink deep into your ears, for the Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-45.htm"><b>45</b></a></span>But they did not understand this saying; for it was concealed from them, so that they would not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.</p> <a name="46" id="46"></a><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-46.htm"><b>46</b></a></span>Then an argument arose among them which was this: who would be the greatest among them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-47.htm"><b>47</b></a></span>And when Jesus perceived the thoughts of their hearts, He took hold of a little child and set it by Him, <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-48.htm"><b>48</b></a></span>And said to them, "Whoever shall receive this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever shall receive Me receives Him Who sent Me. For the one who is least among you all shall be great."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-49.htm"><b>49</b></a></span>Then John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbad him because he does not follow with us." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-50.htm"><b>50</b></a></span>But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, because everyone who is not against us is for us."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-51.htm"><b>51</b></a></span>Now it came to pass, when the days were being fulfilled that He should be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-52.htm"><b>52</b></a></span>And He sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they came to a village of Samaritans to prepare for Him; <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-53.htm"><b>53</b></a></span>But they did not receive Him, because His face was as if He were going to Jerusalem. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-54.htm"><b>54</b></a></span>And seeing this, His disciples James and John said, "Lord, will You have us call fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elijah did?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-55.htm"><b>55</b></a></span>But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not understand of what spirit you are. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-56.htm"><b>56</b></a></span>For the Son of man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.</p> <a name="57" id="57"></a><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-57.htm"><b>57</b></a></span>Now it came to pass that as they were going along the road, someone said to Him, "I will follow You wherever You may go, Lord." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-58.htm"><b>58</b></a></span>But Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have nests; but the Son of man does not have any place to lay His head." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-59.htm"><b>59</b></a></span>Then He said to another, "Follow Me." And he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-60.htm"><b>60</b></a></span>But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-61.htm"><b>61</b></a></span>And another also said, "I will follow You, Lord, but allow me first to bid farewell to those who are at my house." <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/9-62.htm"><b>62</b></a></span>But Jesus said to him, "No one who sets his hand to the plow, and looks back at the things behind, is fit for the kingdom of God."</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center"><a href="https://afaithfulversion.org/">A Faithful Version</a><br><br>Copyright © 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011<br>York Publishing Company<br>Post Office Box 1038<br>Hollister, California 95024-1038<br><br>All rights reserved.<br>All Scripture may be freely quoted except for brief excerpts for review purposes, no part of this publication may be reproduced or used in any form or by any means--electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording or information storage and retrieval systems, or use of hermeneutical conclusions of copyright owner.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/">Bible Hub</a></div></div></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="../luke/8.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Luke 8"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Luke 8" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../luke/10.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Luke 10"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Luke 10" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></body></html>
