1 Jesus|strong="G2532" called|strong="G4779" the|strong="G2532" Twelve|strong="G1427" together|strong="G4779", and|strong="G2532" gave|strong="G1325" them|strong="G3588" power|strong="G1411" and|strong="G2532" authority|strong="G1849" over|strong="G1909" all|strong="G3956" demons|strong="G1140", as|strong="G1161" well|strong="G2532" as|strong="G1161" to|strong="G2532" cure|strong="G2323" diseases|strong="G3554".
2 He|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G2316" them|strong="G3588" out|strong="G2532" as|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1438" messengers, to|strong="G2532" proclaim|strong="G2784" the|strong="G2532" kingdom of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" work cures.
3 ‘\+w Do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3367"\+w*,’ he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588", ‘\+w take|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w anything|strong="G3367"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w journey|strong="G3598"\+w*; \+w not|strong="G3367"\+w* \+w even|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w staff|strong="G4464"\+w*, \+w or|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w bag|strong="G4082"\+w*, \+w or|strong="G2532"\+w* bread, \+w or|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w any|strong="G3367"\+w* silver, \+w or|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2192"\+w* change \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w clothes|strong="G5509"\+w* \+w with|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3004"\+w*.

6 Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" set|strong="G2532" out|strong="G1831" and|strong="G2532" went|strong="G1831" from|strong="G2532" village|strong="G2968" to|strong="G2532" village|strong="G2968", telling the|strong="G2532" good|strong="G2097" news|strong="G2097" and|strong="G2532" curing people|strong="G3837" everywhere|strong="G3837".
7 Herod|strong="G2264" the|strong="G2532" ruler heard of|strong="G1537" all|strong="G3956" that|strong="G3754" was|strong="G1096" happening|strong="G1096", and|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1096" perplexed|strong="G1280", because|strong="G3754" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1096" said|strong="G3004" by|strong="G1223" some|strong="G5100" that|strong="G3754" John|strong="G2491" must|strong="G5100" be|strong="G1096" risen|strong="G1453" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" dead|strong="G3498".
8 Some|strong="G5100" again said|strong="G1161" that|strong="G3754" Elijah|strong="G2243" had|strong="G3588" appeared|strong="G5316", and|strong="G1161" others|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3754" one|strong="G5100" of|strong="G5259" the|strong="G1161" old prophets|strong="G4396" had|strong="G3588" risen again.
9 But|strong="G1161" Herod|strong="G2264" himself said|strong="G3004", ‘John|strong="G2491" I|strong="G1473" beheaded; but|strong="G1161" who|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" this|strong="G3778" of|strong="G4012" whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" hear|strong="G5101" such|strong="G5108" things|strong="G3778"?’ And|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" endeavoured|strong="G2212" to|strong="G2532" see|strong="G3708" him|strong="G3739".
10 When|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" apostles returned|strong="G5290", they|strong="G2532" related|strong="G1334" to|strong="G1519" Jesus|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3745" that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" done|strong="G4160". Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2532" privately|strong="G2398" to|strong="G1519" a|strong="G2532" town|strong="G4172" called|strong="G2564" Bethsaida, taking|strong="G3880" the|strong="G2532" apostles with|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588".
11 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3793" recognised him|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" followed him|strong="G3588" in|strong="G2532" crowds|strong="G3793"; and|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2532" welcomed them|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" spoke|strong="G2980" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" about|strong="G4012" the|strong="G2532" kingdom of|strong="G4012" God|strong="G2316", while|strong="G2980" he|strong="G2532" cured|strong="G2390" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" in|strong="G2532" need|strong="G5532" of|strong="G4012" help|strong="G4012".
12 The|strong="G1722" day|strong="G2250" was|strong="G1510" drawing to|strong="G1519" a|strong="G2532" close, when|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" twelve|strong="G1427" came|strong="G4334" up|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘Send the|strong="G1722" crowd|strong="G3793" away|strong="G4198", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G3754" they|strong="G2532" may|strong="G2532" make|strong="G1519" their|strong="G2532" way|strong="G4198" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" villages|strong="G2968" and|strong="G2532" farms round|strong="G2532" about|strong="G1722", and|strong="G2532" find|strong="G2147" themselves|strong="G1519" lodgings and|strong="G2532" provisions, for|strong="G3754" we|strong="G3754" are|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" lonely spot here|strong="G5602".’
13 But|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w It|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w give|strong="G1325"\+w* \+w them|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w something|strong="G4183"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w eat|strong="G2068"\+w*.’
14 (For|strong="G1063" the|strong="G1161" men|strong="G3588" among|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588" were|strong="G1510" about|strong="G5616" five|strong="G4000" thousand|strong="G4000".) ‘Get \+w them|strong="G3588"\+w* seated \+w in|strong="G4314"\+w* companies,’ was|strong="G1510" his|strong="G1438" reply|strong="G3004", ‘\+w about|strong="G5616"\+w* \+w fifty|strong="G4004"\+w* \+w in|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w each|strong="G1438"\+w*.’
15 This|strong="G3779" they|strong="G2532" did|strong="G4160", and|strong="G2532" got all|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G4160" seated.
16 Taking|strong="G2983" the|strong="G2532" five|strong="G4002" loaves and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" two|strong="G1417" fish|strong="G2486", Jesus|strong="G2532" looked|strong="G2532" up|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" heaven|strong="G3772" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" blessing|strong="G2127" over|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588". Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" broke|strong="G2622" them|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1519" pieces, and|strong="G2532" gave|strong="G1325" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1438" disciples|strong="G3101" to|strong="G1519" set|strong="G3908" before|strong="G3908" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3793".
17 Everyone|strong="G3956" had|strong="G2532" sufficient to|strong="G2532" eat|strong="G2068", and|strong="G2532" what|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" left|strong="G4052" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" broken|strong="G2801" pieces|strong="G2801" was|strong="G3588" picked up|strong="G2532" – twelve|strong="G1427" baskets|strong="G2894".
18 Afterwards|strong="G1722", when|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G3004" was|strong="G1510" alone|strong="G3441", praying|strong="G4336", his|strong="G1438" disciples|strong="G3101" joined|strong="G1096" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G1905" them|strong="G3588" this|strong="G3588" question|strong="G1905" – ‘\+w Who|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w do|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w people|strong="G3793"\+w* \+w say|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w*?’
19 ‘John|strong="G2491" the|strong="G1161" Baptist,’ was|strong="G3588" their|strong="G3588" answer. ‘Others|strong="G3588", however|strong="G1161", say|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3754" you|strong="G3754" are|strong="G3588" Elijah|strong="G2243", while|strong="G1161" others|strong="G3588" say|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3754" one|strong="G5100" of|strong="G5100" the|strong="G1161" old prophets|strong="G4396" has|strong="G5100" risen again.’
20 ‘\+w But|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*,’ he|strong="G1161" went|strong="G4074" on|strong="G1161", ‘\+w who|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w do|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w say|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w*?’ And|strong="G1161" to|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3588" Peter|strong="G4074" answered|strong="G3004", ‘The|strong="G1161" Christ|strong="G5547" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316".’
21 Jesus|strong="G3004", however|strong="G1161", strictly charged|strong="G2008" them|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3367" to|strong="G3004" say|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3778" to|strong="G3004" anyone|strong="G3367";
22 he|strong="G2532" told|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G2532" Son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" Man|strong="G5207" must|strong="G1163" undergo much|strong="G4183" suffering|strong="G3958", and|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" rejected by|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" elders|strong="G4245", and|strong="G2532" chief|strong="G2532" priests, and|strong="G2532" teachers of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G2532" Law, and|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" death, and|strong="G2532" rise|strong="G1453" on|strong="G1210" the|strong="G2532" third|strong="G5154" day|strong="G2250".
23 And|strong="G2532" to|strong="G4314" all|strong="G3956" present|strong="G2596" he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w If|strong="G1487"\+w* \+w any|strong="G5100"\+w* \+w one|strong="G5100"\+w* \+w wishes|strong="G2309"\+w* \+w to|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w walk|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w in|strong="G2596"\+w* \+w my|strong="G3956"\+w* steps, \+w they|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w must|strong="G5100"\+w* renounce self, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w take|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w up|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w their|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w cross|strong="G4716"\+w* \+w daily|strong="G2250"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w follow|strong="G3694"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*.

28 About|strong="G5616" eight|strong="G3638" days|strong="G2250" after|strong="G3326" speaking|strong="G3056" these|strong="G3778" words|strong="G3056", Jesus|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2532" up|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" mountain|strong="G3735" to|strong="G1519" pray|strong="G4336", taking|strong="G1096" with|strong="G3326" him|strong="G3588" Peter|strong="G4074", John|strong="G2491", and|strong="G2532" James|strong="G2385".
29 As|strong="G1722" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1096" praying|strong="G4336", the|strong="G1722" aspect of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1722" face|strong="G4383" was|strong="G1096" changed, and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1722" clothing|strong="G2441" became|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" dazzling white|strong="G3022".
30 And|strong="G2532" all|strong="G2532" at|strong="G2532" once two|strong="G1417" men|strong="G1417" were|strong="G1510" talking|strong="G4814" with|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G1510"; they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G1510" Moses|strong="G3475" and|strong="G2532" Elijah|strong="G2243",
31 who|strong="G3739" appeared|strong="G3708" in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G1722" glorified state, and|strong="G1391" spoke|strong="G3004" of|strong="G1391" his|strong="G1722" departure|strong="G1841", which|strong="G3739" was|strong="G3588" destined to|strong="G3004" take place|strong="G1722" at|strong="G1722" Jerusalem|strong="G2419".
32 Peter|strong="G4074" and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3708" companions|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" been|strong="G1510" overpowered by|strong="G2532" sleep|strong="G5258" but|strong="G1161", suddenly becoming wide awake|strong="G1235", they|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G3708" Jesus|strong="G1510" glorified|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" two|strong="G1417" men|strong="G1417" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G1510" standing|strong="G4921" beside him|strong="G3588".
33 And|strong="G2532", as|strong="G1722" Moses|strong="G3475" and|strong="G2532" Elijah|strong="G2243" were|strong="G1510" passing|strong="G4074" away from|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424", Peter|strong="G4074" exclaimed|strong="G3004", ‘Sir, it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" good|strong="G2570" to|strong="G4314" be|strong="G1096" here|strong="G5602"; let|strong="G1096" us|strong="G3004" make|strong="G4160" three|strong="G5140" tents|strong="G4633", one|strong="G1520" for|strong="G4314" you|strong="G4771", and|strong="G2532" one|strong="G1520" for|strong="G4314" Moses|strong="G3475", and|strong="G2532" one|strong="G1520" for|strong="G4314" Elijah|strong="G2243".’ He|strong="G2532" did|strong="G4160" not|strong="G3361" know|strong="G1492" what|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" saying|strong="G3004";
34 and|strong="G2532", while|strong="G1722" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1096" speaking|strong="G3004", a|strong="G1096" cloud|strong="G3507" came|strong="G1096" down and|strong="G2532" enveloped them|strong="G3588"; and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" afraid|strong="G5399", as|strong="G1519" they|strong="G2532" passed|strong="G3588" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" cloud|strong="G3507";
35 and|strong="G2532" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" cloud|strong="G3507" came|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" voice|strong="G5456" which|strong="G3588" said|strong="G3004" – ‘This|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" my|strong="G1473" Son|strong="G5207", the|strong="G2532" Chosen|strong="G1586" One|strong="G3588"; him|strong="G3588" you|strong="G3004" must|strong="G1096" hear|strong="G5456".’
36 And|strong="G2532", as|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" voice|strong="G5456" ceased, Jesus|strong="G2424" was|strong="G1096" found|strong="G2147" alone|strong="G3441". The|strong="G1722" apostles kept|strong="G4601" silence|strong="G4601", and|strong="G2532" told no|strong="G3762" one|strong="G3762" about|strong="G1722" any|strong="G3762" of|strong="G2250" the|strong="G1722" things|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3739" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2424" seen|strong="G3708".
37 The|strong="G1161" next|strong="G1836" day|strong="G2250", when|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" had|strong="G3588" come|strong="G1096" down|strong="G2718" from|strong="G2718" the|strong="G1161" mountain|strong="G3735", a|strong="G1096" great|strong="G4183" crowd|strong="G3793" met|strong="G4876" Jesus|strong="G3793".
38 And|strong="G2532" just|strong="G2532" then|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G5207" in|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793" shouted out|strong="G2532", ‘Teacher|strong="G1320", I|strong="G1473" entreat you|strong="G4771" to|strong="G2532" look|strong="G2400" at|strong="G1909" my|strong="G3708" son|strong="G5207", for|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" my|strong="G3708" only|strong="G3439" child|strong="G5207";
39 all|strong="G2532" at|strong="G2532" once a|strong="G2532" spirit|strong="G4151" will|strong="G2532" seize him|strong="G3708", suddenly|strong="G1810" shriek out|strong="G2896", and|strong="G2532" throw him|strong="G3708" into|strong="G3708" convulsions|strong="G4682" until|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" foams, and|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" leave him|strong="G3708" only|strong="G2532" when|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G2532" utterly exhausted.
40 I|strong="G2532" entreated your|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101" to|strong="G2443" drive|strong="G1544" the|strong="G2532" spirit|strong="G3588" out|strong="G1544", but|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" could|strong="G1410" not|strong="G3756".’
41 ‘Faithless \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w perverse|strong="G1294"\+w* \+w generation|strong="G1074"\+w*!’ Jesus|strong="G2424" exclaimed|strong="G3004", ‘\+w How|strong="G2193"\+w* \+w long|strong="G2193"\+w* \+w must|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w I|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w be|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w with|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2532"\+w* patience \+w with|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*? \+w Lead|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w here|strong="G5602"\+w*.’
42 While|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" boy|strong="G3816" was|strong="G3588" coming|strong="G4334" up|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424", the|strong="G2532" demon|strong="G1140" dashed him|strong="G3588" down|strong="G4486" and|strong="G2532" threw|strong="G4952" him|strong="G3588" into|strong="G2424" convulsions. But|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" rebuked|strong="G2008" the|strong="G2532" foul spirit|strong="G4151", and|strong="G2532" cured|strong="G2390" the|strong="G2532" boy|strong="G3816", and|strong="G2532" gave|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" back to|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" father|strong="G3962".
43 And|strong="G1161" all|strong="G3956" present|strong="G4160" were|strong="G3588" struck with|strong="G4314" awe at|strong="G1909" the|strong="G3956" majesty|strong="G3168" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316".
44 ‘Listen carefully \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w my|strong="G5087"\+w* \+w words|strong="G3056"\+w*. \+w For|strong="G1063"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w Man|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w destined|strong="G5087"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w be|strong="G3195"\+w* \+w betrayed|strong="G3860"\+w* \+w into|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w hands|strong="G5495"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w his|strong="G1519"\+w* fellow \+w men|strong="G3778"\+w*.’
45 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G1510" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" understand the|strong="G2532" meaning of|strong="G4012" this|strong="G3778"; it|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" been|strong="G1510" concealed|strong="G3871" from|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" they|strong="G2532" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" see it|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G1510" afraid|strong="G5399" to|strong="G2443" question|strong="G2065" him|strong="G3588" as|strong="G1161" to|strong="G2443" what|strong="G3588" he|strong="G2532" meant|strong="G1510".
46 A|strong="G1722" discussion arose|strong="G1525" among|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" disciples|strong="G1510" as|strong="G1722" to|strong="G1722" which|strong="G3588" of|strong="G1722" them|strong="G3588" was|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1722" greatest|strong="G3173";
47 and|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424", knowing|strong="G1492" of|strong="G3844" the|strong="G1161" discussion that|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" occupying their|strong="G1438" thoughts|strong="G1261", took|strong="G1949" hold|strong="G1949" of|strong="G3844" a|strong="G3708" little child|strong="G3813", and|strong="G1161" placed|strong="G2476" it|strong="G1161" beside|strong="G3844" him|strong="G3588",
48 and|strong="G2532" then|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588", ‘\+w Anyone|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3739"\+w*, \+w for|strong="G1063"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w sake|strong="G3686"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w my|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w name|strong="G3686"\+w*, \+w welcomes|strong="G1209"\+w* \+w even|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w this|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w little|strong="G3398"\+w* \+w child|strong="G3813"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* welcoming \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*; \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w anyone|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w welcomes|strong="G1209"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* welcoming \+w him|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w sent|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w as|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w his|strong="G3956"\+w* messenger. \+w For|strong="G1063"\+w* \+w whoever|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w least|strong="G3398"\+w* \+w among|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w all|strong="G3956"\+w* – \+w that|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w person|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w great|strong="G3173"\+w*.’
49 John|strong="G2491" said|strong="G3004", ‘Sir, we|strong="G2249" saw|strong="G3708" a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G5100" driving out|strong="G1544" demons|strong="G1140" by|strong="G1722" using|strong="G3004" your|strong="G2532" name|strong="G3686", and|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2249" tried to|strong="G2532" prevent|strong="G2967" him|strong="G3588", because|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" does|strong="G3004" not|strong="G3756" follow|strong="G1161" you|strong="G4771" with|strong="G3326" us|strong="G3004".’

51 As|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" days|strong="G2250" before|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1519" being|strong="G1096" taken|strong="G1096" up|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" heaven were|strong="G3588" growing|strong="G1722" few|strong="G1722", Jesus|strong="G2532" set|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1519" face|strong="G4383" resolutely|strong="G4198" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" direction of|strong="G2250" Jerusalem|strong="G2419"; and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G2532" on|strong="G1722" messengers in|strong="G1722" advance.
52 On|strong="G1519" their|strong="G2532" way|strong="G4198", they|strong="G2532" went|strong="G4198" into|strong="G1519" a|strong="G5613" Samaritan|strong="G4541" village|strong="G2968" to|strong="G1519" make|strong="G2090" preparations for|strong="G1519" him|strong="G2532",
53 but|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G1510" there|strong="G2532" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" welcome|strong="G1209" him|strong="G3588", because|strong="G3754" his|strong="G1519" face|strong="G4383" was|strong="G1510" set|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" direction of|strong="G2532" Jerusalem|strong="G2419".
54 When|strong="G1161" James|strong="G2385" and|strong="G2532" John|strong="G2491" saw|strong="G3708" this|strong="G3588", they|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘Master|strong="G2962", do|strong="G2532" you|strong="G3004" wish|strong="G2309" us|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" call|strong="G3004" for|strong="G1161" fire|strong="G4442" to|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" from|strong="G2597" the|strong="G2532" heavens|strong="G3772" and|strong="G2532" consume them|strong="G3588"?’

58 ‘Foxes \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w holes|strong="G5454"\+w*,’ he|strong="G2532" replied|strong="G3004", ‘\+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w wild|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w birds|strong="G4071"\+w* \+w their|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w nests|strong="G2682"\+w*, \+w but|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w Man|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w has|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w nowhere|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w lay|strong="G2827"\+w* \+w his|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w head|strong="G2776"\+w*.’
