Luke 9:1-39 ▼

1 Then called he the .xii. to gether and gave them power and auctorite over all devyls and that they myght heale diseases.

2 And he sent them to preache the kyngdome of God and to cure the sick.

3 And he sayd to them: Take nothinge to sucker you by ye waye: nether staffe nor scripe nether breed nether money nether have twoo cootes.

4 And whatsoever housse ye enter into there abyde and thence departe.

5 And whosoever will not receave you when ye go out of that cite shake of the very dust from youre fete for a testimony agaynst them.

6 And they went out and went thorow the tounes preachinge the gospell and healynge every wheare.

7 And Herod the tetrarch herde of all that was done of him and douted because that it was sayde of some that Iohn was rysen agayne from deeth:

8 and of some that Helyas had apered: and of other that one of the olde prophetes was rysen agayne.

9 And Herod sayde: Iohn have I behedded: who then is this of whom I heare suche thinges? And he desyred to se him.

10 And the Apostles retourned and tolde him what great thinges they had done. And he toke them and went a syde into a solitary place nye to a citie called Bethsaida.

11 And ye people knewe of it and folowed him. And he receaved them and spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God and healed them that had nede to be healed.

12 And when ye daye beganne to weare awaye then came the twelve and sayde vnto him: sende ye people awaye that they maye goo into the tounes and villages roundabout and lodge and get meate for we are here in a place of wyldernes.

13 But he sayde vnto them: Geve ye the to eate. And they sayde. We have no moo but fyve loves and two fisshes except we shuld goo and bye meate for all this people.

14 And they were about a fyve thousand men. And he sayde to his disciples: Cause them to syt doune by fyfties in a company.

15 And they dyd soo and made them all syt doune.

16 And he toke the fyve loves and the two fisshes and loked vp to heven and blessed them and brake and gave to the disciples to set before ye people.

17 And they ate and were all satisfied. And ther was taken vp of that remayned to the twelve baskettes full of broken meate.

18 And it fortuned as he was alone prayinge his disciples were wt him and he axed the sayinge: Who saye ye people yt I am?

19 They answered and sayd: Iohn Baptist. Some saye Helyas. And some saye one of the olde prophetes is rysen agayne.

20 He sayde vnto the: Who saye ye that I am? Peter answered and sayde: thou arte the Christ of god.

21 And he warned and commaunded them that they shuld tell no man yt thinge

22 sayinge: that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges and be reproved of the elders and of the hye prestes and scribes and be slayne and the thirde daye ryse agayne.

23 And he sayde to them all yf eny man will come after me let him denye him sylfe and take vp his crosse dayly and folowe me.

24 Whosoever will save his lyfe shall lose it. And who soever shall lose his lyfe for my sake the same shall save it.

25 For what avauntageth it a man to wynne the whole worlde yf he loose him sylfe or runne in domage of him sylfe?

26 For whosoever is ashamed of me and of my sayinges: of him shall the sonne of man be ashamed when he cometh in his awne glorie and in the glorie of his father and of the holy angels.

27 And I tell you of a surety: There be some of the yt stonde here which shall not tast of deeth tyll they se ye kyngdome of god.

28 And it folowed about an .viii. dayes after thoose sayinges that he toke Peter Iames and Iohn and went vp into a moutayne to praye.

29 And as he prayed ye facion of his countenaunce was changed and his garment was whyte and shoone.

30 And beholde two men talked wt him and they were Moses and Helyas

31 which appered gloriously and spake of his departinge which he shuld ende at Ierusalem.

32 Peter and they that were with him were hevy with slepe. And when they woke they sawe his glorie and two men stondinge with him.

33 And it chaunsed as they departed fro him Peter sayde vnto Iesus: Master it is good beinge here for vs. Let vs make thre tabernacles one for the and one for Moses and one for Helyas: and wist not what he sayde.

34 Whyll he thus spake ther came a cloude and shadowed them: and they feared when they were come vnder the cloude.

35 And ther came a voyce out of the cloude sayinge: This is my deare sonne heare him.

36 And assone as ye voyce was past Iesus was founde alone. And they kept it cloose and tolde noo man in thoose dayes eny of those thinges which they had sene.

37 And it chaunsed on the nexte daye as they came doune from the hyll moche people met him.

38 And beholde a man of the copany cryed out sayinge: Master I beseche ye beholde my sonne for he is all that I have:

39 and se a sprete taketh him and sodenly he cryeth and he teareth him that he fometh agayne and with moche payne departeth fro him when he hath rent him and
