00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:03.700
Hello, this is Father Paul, and I'm glad we're

00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:05.740
taking this journey together to read the Bible

00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:09.240
in a year. Today's reading is from the Gospel

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.460
of Mark, Chapter 6, and Gospel of Matthew, Chapter

00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:16.559
10, and the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 9. Mark,

00:00:16.699 --> 00:00:20.679
Chapter 6. Then he went out from there and came

00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.019
to his own country, and his disciples followed

00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:25.899
him. And when the Sabbath had come, he began

00:00:25.899 --> 00:00:28.480
to teach in a synagogue. And many hearing him

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.739
were astonished, saying, Where did this man get

00:00:31.739 --> 00:00:34.700
these things? And what wisdom is this which he

00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:37.320
is given, that such mighty works are performed

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.640
by his hands? Is this not the carpenter, the

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.219
son of Mary, the brother of James, Joseph, Judas,

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.100
and Simon? And are not his sisters here with

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:50.619
us? So they were offended at him. But Jesus said

00:00:50.619 --> 00:00:53.689
to them, A prophet is not without honor. except

00:00:53.689 --> 00:00:56.469
in his own country, among his own relatives and

00:00:56.469 --> 00:00:59.750
in his own house. Now he could do no mighty work

00:00:59.750 --> 00:01:03.549
there, except that he laid his hands on a few

00:01:03.549 --> 00:01:06.370
sick people and healed them. And he marveled

00:01:06.370 --> 00:01:09.549
because of their unbelief. Then he went about

00:01:09.549 --> 00:01:13.269
the villages in a circuit, teaching. And he called

00:01:13.269 --> 00:01:15.269
the twelve to himself and began to send them

00:01:15.269 --> 00:01:18.390
out two by two, and give them power over unclean

00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:20.769
spirits. He commanded them to take nothing for

00:01:20.769 --> 00:01:24.379
the journey, except a staff, no bag no bread

00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:27.680
no copper in their money belts but to wear sandals

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.159
and not to put on two tunics also he said to

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.959
them in whatever place you enter a house stay

00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.079
there till you depart from that place and whoever

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.140
will not receive you nor hear you when you depart

00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:43.400
from there shake off the dust under your feet

00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.659
as a testimony against them assuredly i say to

00:01:46.659 --> 00:01:49.719
you it will be more tolerable for sodom and gomorrah

00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.299
in the day of judgment than for that city. So

00:01:53.299 --> 00:01:55.420
they went out and preached that people should

00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:58.540
repent. And they cast out many demons and anointed

00:01:58.540 --> 00:02:01.200
with oil many who were sick and healed them.

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.760
Now King Herod heard of him, for his name had

00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.719
become well known. And he said, John the Baptist

00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.080
is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers

00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.060
are at work in him. Others said it is Elijah,

00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.560
and others said it is the prophet or like one

00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.439
of the prophets. But when Herod heard, he said,

00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:24.180
This is John, whom I beheaded. He has been raised

00:02:24.180 --> 00:02:27.599
from the dead. For Herod himself had sent and

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.180
laid hold of John and bound him in prison for

00:02:30.180 --> 00:02:32.860
the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:35.780
For he had married her. Because John had said

00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:38.560
to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.780
brother's wife. Therefore Herodias held it against

00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:44.210
him and wanted to kill him. But she could not,

00:02:44.289 --> 00:02:47.289
for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a

00:02:47.289 --> 00:02:50.389
just and holy man, and he protected him. And

00:02:50.389 --> 00:02:53.090
when he heard him, he did many things and heard

00:02:53.090 --> 00:02:56.729
him gladly. Then an opportune day came, when

00:02:56.729 --> 00:02:59.830
Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles,

00:02:59.870 --> 00:03:02.490
the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

00:03:02.610 --> 00:03:05.930
And when Herodias' daughter herself came in and

00:03:05.930 --> 00:03:08.889
danced and pleased Herod and those who sat with

00:03:08.889 --> 00:03:11.599
him, the king said to the girl, Ask me whatever

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.520
you want, and I will give it to you. He also

00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.240
swore to her, Whatever you ask me, I will give

00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.280
you up to half my kingdom. So she went out and

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.900
said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she

00:03:23.900 --> 00:03:27.000
said, The head of John the Baptist. Immediately

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.379
she came in with haste to the king and asked,

00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.680
saying, I want you to give me at once the head

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.400
of John the Baptist on a platter. And the king

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.780
was exceedingly sorry, yet because of the oath,

00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:40.659
and because of those who sat with him, He did

00:03:40.659 --> 00:03:43.259
not want to refuse her. Immediately the king

00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:46.259
sent an executioner and commanded his head to

00:03:46.259 --> 00:03:49.099
be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,

00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.960
brought his head on a platter and gave it to

00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.080
the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:56.740
When his disciples heard of it, they came and

00:03:56.740 --> 00:04:00.039
took away his corpse and laid it in a tomb. Then

00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.120
the apostles gathered to Jesus and told him all

00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.460
things, both what they had done and what they

00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:08.490
had taught. And he said to them, Come aside by

00:04:08.490 --> 00:04:11.330
yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.

00:04:11.669 --> 00:04:14.590
For there were many coming and going, and they

00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:17.490
did not even have time to eat. So they departed

00:04:17.490 --> 00:04:20.029
to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.

00:04:20.470 --> 00:04:23.350
But the multitudes saw them departing, and many

00:04:23.350 --> 00:04:26.129
knew him, and ran there on foot from all the

00:04:26.129 --> 00:04:29.029
cities. They arrived before them and came together

00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:32.370
to him. And Jesus, when he came out, saw a great

00:04:32.370 --> 00:04:35.009
multitude and was moved with compassion for them.

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.180
because they were like sheep not having a shepherd.

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.720
So he began to teach them many things. When the

00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.759
day was now far spent, his disciples came to

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.139
him and said, This is a deserted place, and already

00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:51.560
the hour is late. Send them away, that they may

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.699
go into the surrounding country and villages

00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:56.420
and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing

00:04:56.420 --> 00:04:59.259
to eat. But he answered and said to them, You

00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:01.639
give them something to eat. And they said to

00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.120
him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.420
worth of bread and give them something to eat?

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.259
But he said to them, How many loaves do you have?

00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:12.240
Go and see. And when they found out, they said,

00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.579
Five and two fish. Then he commanded them to

00:05:15.579 --> 00:05:17.779
make them all sit down in groups on the green

00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:21.220
grass. So they sat down in ranks, in hundreds

00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:24.560
and in fifties. And when he had taken the five

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.180
loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven.

00:05:27.529 --> 00:05:30.430
blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to

00:05:30.430 --> 00:05:33.089
his disciples to set before them, and the two

00:05:33.089 --> 00:05:36.329
fish he divided among them all. So they all ate

00:05:36.329 --> 00:05:38.730
and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets

00:05:38.730 --> 00:05:42.449
full of fragments and of the fish. Now those

00:05:42.449 --> 00:05:45.170
who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand

00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:49.149
men. Immediately he made his disciples get into

00:05:49.149 --> 00:05:51.550
the boat and go before him to the other side

00:05:51.550 --> 00:05:54.569
to Bethsaida, while he sent the multitude away.

00:05:55.069 --> 00:05:57.589
And when he had sent them away, he departed to

00:05:57.589 --> 00:06:00.050
the mountain to pray. Now when evening came,

00:06:00.230 --> 00:06:02.209
the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he

00:06:02.209 --> 00:06:05.170
was alone on the land. Then he saw them straining

00:06:05.170 --> 00:06:08.110
at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now

00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:10.370
about the fourth watch of the night, he came

00:06:10.370 --> 00:06:12.810
to them walking on the sea, and would have passed

00:06:12.810 --> 00:06:15.449
them by. And when they saw him walking on the

00:06:15.449 --> 00:06:17.850
sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried

00:06:17.850 --> 00:06:20.629
out. For they all saw him and were troubled.

00:06:20.829 --> 00:06:23.329
But immediately he talked with them and said

00:06:23.329 --> 00:06:26.310
to them, Be of good cheer, it is I, do not be

00:06:26.310 --> 00:06:29.129
afraid. Then he went up into the boat to them,

00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:32.170
and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed

00:06:32.170 --> 00:06:35.050
in themselves, beyond measure, and marveled.

00:06:35.050 --> 00:06:37.730
For they had not understood about the loaves,

00:06:37.769 --> 00:06:41.029
because their heart was hardened. When they had

00:06:41.029 --> 00:06:43.810
crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,

00:06:43.970 --> 00:06:46.529
and anchored there. And when they came out of

00:06:46.529 --> 00:06:49.310
the boat, immediately the people recognized him.

00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:15.120
Matthew 10 And when he had called his twelve

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.120
disciples to him, He gave them power over unclean

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.100
spirits, to cast them out and to heal all kinds

00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:23.939
of sicknesses and all kinds of disease. Now the

00:07:23.939 --> 00:07:26.839
names of the twelve apostles are these. First,

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.860
Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,

00:07:30.019 --> 00:07:32.860
James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother,

00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.639
Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.839
tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and

00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.980
Lebaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus, Simon the

00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:46.300
Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed

00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:49.160
him. These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.319
them, saying, Do not go into the way of the Gentiles,

00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.459
and do not enter a city of the Samaritans, but

00:07:55.459 --> 00:07:58.399
go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

00:07:58.620 --> 00:08:01.720
And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of

00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.060
heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the

00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:08.899
lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely

00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:11.899
you have received, freely give. Provide neither

00:08:11.899 --> 00:08:15.000
gold nor silver. nor copper in your money belts,

00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.040
nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:22.519
sandals, nor staffs. For a worker is worthy of

00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.540
his food. Now whatever city or town you enter,

00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:29.639
inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till

00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.559
you go out. And when you go into a household,

00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:35.620
greet it. If the household is worthy, let your

00:08:35.620 --> 00:08:38.460
peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy,

00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.399
let your peace return to you. And whoever will

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.509
not receive you, nor hear your words, when you

00:08:44.509 --> 00:08:47.490
depart from that house or city, shake off the

00:08:47.490 --> 00:08:50.429
dust from your feet. Assuredly, I say to you,

00:08:50.470 --> 00:08:53.370
it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom

00:08:53.370 --> 00:08:55.629
and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for

00:08:55.629 --> 00:08:59.690
that city. Behold, I send you out as sheep in

00:08:59.690 --> 00:09:02.750
the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents

00:09:02.750 --> 00:09:05.940
and harmless as doves, but beware of men. for

00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:08.299
they will deliver you up to councils and scourge

00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:10.659
you in their synagogues. You will be brought

00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:13.480
before governors and kings for my sake, as a

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.519
testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when

00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.700
they deliver you up, do not worry about how or

00:09:19.700 --> 00:09:22.340
what you should speak, for it will be given to

00:09:22.340 --> 00:09:25.500
you in that hour what you should speak. For it

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:27.740
is not you who speak, but the spirit of your

00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:30.700
father who speaks in you. Now brother will deliver

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:33.299
up brother to death, and a father his child.

00:09:33.710 --> 00:09:36.210
and children will rise up against parents and

00:09:36.210 --> 00:09:38.750
cause them to be put to death. And you will be

00:09:38.750 --> 00:09:42.429
hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures

00:09:42.429 --> 00:09:45.049
to the end will be saved. When they persecute

00:09:45.049 --> 00:09:48.309
you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly

00:09:48.309 --> 00:09:50.590
I say to you, you will not have gone through

00:09:50.590 --> 00:09:53.610
the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

00:09:54.090 --> 00:09:57.289
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant

00:09:57.289 --> 00:10:00.129
above his master. It is enough for a disciple

00:10:00.129 --> 00:10:02.909
that he be like his teacher, and a servant...

00:10:03.070 --> 00:10:05.730
like his master. If they have called the master

00:10:05.730 --> 00:10:08.750
of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they

00:10:08.750 --> 00:10:12.029
call those of his household? Therefore do not

00:10:12.029 --> 00:10:14.929
fear them, for there is nothing covered that

00:10:14.929 --> 00:10:18.029
will not be revealed, and hidden that will not

00:10:18.029 --> 00:10:21.610
be known. Whatever I tell you, in the dark speak

00:10:21.610 --> 00:10:24.590
in the light. And what you hear in the ear, preach

00:10:24.590 --> 00:10:27.529
on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill

00:10:27.529 --> 00:10:30.090
the body, but cannot kill the soul. But rather,

00:10:30.350 --> 00:10:33.809
fear him who is able to destroy both soul and

00:10:33.809 --> 00:10:37.409
body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a

00:10:37.409 --> 00:10:40.370
copper coin? And not one of them falls to the

00:10:40.370 --> 00:10:43.210
ground apart from your father's will. But the

00:10:43.210 --> 00:10:46.029
very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do

00:10:46.029 --> 00:10:48.990
not fear, therefore. You are of more value than

00:10:48.990 --> 00:10:51.990
many sparrows. Therefore, whoever confesses me

00:10:51.990 --> 00:10:54.570
before men, him I will also confess before my

00:10:54.570 --> 00:10:57.529
father who is in heaven. But whoever denies me

00:10:57.529 --> 00:11:01.389
before men, Him I will also deny before my Father

00:11:01.389 --> 00:11:04.309
who is in heaven. Do not think that I came to

00:11:04.309 --> 00:11:06.669
bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring

00:11:06.669 --> 00:11:10.230
peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a

00:11:10.230 --> 00:11:12.870
man against his father, a daughter against her

00:11:12.870 --> 00:11:15.669
mother, and a daughter -in -law against her mother

00:11:15.669 --> 00:11:18.570
-in -law. And a man's enemies will be those of

00:11:18.570 --> 00:11:21.710
his own household. He who loves father or mother

00:11:21.710 --> 00:11:24.830
more than me is not worthy of me. And he who

00:11:24.830 --> 00:11:27.769
loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy

00:11:27.769 --> 00:11:30.509
of me. And he who does not take his cross and

00:11:30.509 --> 00:11:34.429
follow after me is not worthy of me. He who finds

00:11:34.429 --> 00:11:37.309
his life will lose it. And he who loses his life

00:11:37.309 --> 00:11:41.090
for my sake will find it. He who receives you

00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:43.929
receives me. And he who receives me receives

00:11:43.929 --> 00:11:47.429
him who sent me. He who receives a prophet in

00:11:47.429 --> 00:11:49.889
the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's

00:11:49.889 --> 00:11:52.950
reward. And he who receives a righteous man in

00:11:52.950 --> 00:11:55.870
the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous

00:11:55.870 --> 00:11:59.470
man's reward. And whoever gives one of these

00:11:59.470 --> 00:12:02.169
little ones only a cup of cold water in the name

00:12:02.169 --> 00:12:05.450
of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall

00:12:05.450 --> 00:12:13.730
by no means lose his reward. Then he called his

00:12:13.730 --> 00:12:15.950
twelve disciples together and gave them power

00:12:15.950 --> 00:12:18.470
and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.

00:12:18.830 --> 00:12:21.769
He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and

00:12:21.769 --> 00:12:24.549
to heal the sick. And he said to them, Take nothing

00:12:24.549 --> 00:12:27.210
for the journey, neither staffs, nor bag, nor

00:12:27.210 --> 00:12:29.929
bread, nor money, and do not have two tunics

00:12:29.929 --> 00:12:33.090
apiece. Whatever house you enter, stay there,

00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:36.549
and from there depart. And whoever will not receive

00:12:36.549 --> 00:12:39.470
you, when you go out of that city, Shake off

00:12:39.470 --> 00:12:42.450
the very dust from your feet as a testimony against

00:12:42.450 --> 00:12:45.110
them. So they departed and went through the towns,

00:12:45.210 --> 00:12:47.710
preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

00:12:48.269 --> 00:12:51.009
Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was

00:12:51.009 --> 00:12:54.070
done by him, and he was perplexed, because it

00:12:54.070 --> 00:12:56.889
was said by some that John had risen from the

00:12:56.889 --> 00:13:00.110
dead, and by some that Elijah had appeared, and

00:13:00.110 --> 00:13:02.830
by others that one of the old prophets had risen

00:13:02.830 --> 00:13:07.039
again. Herod said John I have beheaded but who

00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.580
is this of whom I hear such things so he sought

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:13.440
to see him and the apostles when they had returned

00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.379
told him all that they had done then he took

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:18.639
them and went aside privately into a deserted

00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.919
place belonging to the city called Bethsaida

00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.639
but when the multitudes knew it they followed

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.220
him and he received them and spoke to them about

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:29.139
the kingdom of God and healed those who had need

00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:32.480
of healing when the day began to wear away The

00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.960
twelve came and said to him, Send the multitude

00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:38.139
away, that they may go into the surrounding towns

00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:40.840
and country, and lodge and get provisions, for

00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.820
we are in a deserted place here. But he said

00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:46.440
to them, You give them something to eat. And

00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.700
they said, We have no more than five loaves and

00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:51.340
two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:53.799
people, for there were about five thousand men.

00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.960
Then he said to his disciples, Make them sit

00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.440
down in groups of fifty. And they did so, and

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.019
made them all sit down. Then he took the five

00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:04.379
loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven,

00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.100
he blessed and broke them, and gave them to the

00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:10.080
disciples to set before the multitude. So they

00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.960
all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of

00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:15.799
the leftover fragments were taken up by them.

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.940
And it happened, as he was alone praying, that

00:14:18.940 --> 00:14:21.700
his disciples joined him, and he asked them,

00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:24.980
saying, Who do the crowds say that I am? So they

00:14:24.980 --> 00:14:27.820
answered and said, John the Baptist. But some

00:14:27.820 --> 00:14:30.919
say Elijah, and others say, that one of the old

00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.039
prophets has risen again. He said to them, But

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.840
who do you say that I am? Peter answered and

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:40.179
said, The Christ of God. And he strictly warned

00:14:40.179 --> 00:14:43.080
and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying,

00:14:43.299 --> 00:14:46.440
The Son of Man must suffer many things and be

00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.000
rejected by the elders and chief priests and

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.080
scribes and be killed and be raised in the third

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.179
day. Then he said to them all, If anyone desires

00:14:55.179 --> 00:14:58.679
to come after me, let him deny himself and take

00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.019
up his cross. daily and follow me for whoever

00:15:02.019 --> 00:15:04.779
desires to save his life will lose it but whoever

00:15:04.779 --> 00:15:08.679
loses his life for my sake will save it for what

00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.899
profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world

00:15:11.899 --> 00:15:15.039
and is himself destroyed or lost for whoever

00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.700
is ashamed of me and my words of him the son

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:21.320
of man will be ashamed when he comes in his own

00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.600
glory and in his father's and of the holy angels

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.710
but i tell you truly There are some standing

00:15:27.710 --> 00:15:30.710
here who shall not taste death till they see

00:15:30.710 --> 00:15:33.690
the kingdom of God. Now it came to pass, about

00:15:33.690 --> 00:15:36.990
eight days after these things, that he took Peter,

00:15:37.149 --> 00:15:39.830
John, and James, and went up on the mountain

00:15:39.830 --> 00:15:42.690
to pray. As he prayed, the appearance of his

00:15:42.690 --> 00:15:45.450
face was altered, and his robe became white and

00:15:45.450 --> 00:15:48.429
glistening. And behold, two men talked with him,

00:15:48.509 --> 00:15:51.549
who were Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory

00:15:51.549 --> 00:15:54.230
and spoke of his decease, which he was about

00:15:54.230 --> 00:15:57.070
to accomplish at Jerusalem. But Peter and those

00:15:57.070 --> 00:15:59.809
with him were heavy with sleep, and when they

00:15:59.809 --> 00:16:02.149
were fully awake, they saw his glory and the

00:16:02.149 --> 00:16:04.750
two men who stood with him. Then it happened,

00:16:04.889 --> 00:16:07.350
as they were parting from him, that Peter said

00:16:07.350 --> 00:16:10.409
to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here,

00:16:10.529 --> 00:16:13.470
and let us make three tabernacles, one for you,

00:16:13.629 --> 00:16:16.990
one for Moses, and one for Elijah, not knowing

00:16:16.990 --> 00:16:20.559
what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.399
came and overshadowed them, and they were fearful

00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.759
as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.500
of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son,

00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:32.840
hear him. When the voice had ceased, Jesus was

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:35.600
found alone. But they kept quiet and told no

00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.700
one in those days any of the things they had

00:16:38.700 --> 00:16:42.000
seen. Now it happened on the next day, when they

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.220
had come down from the mountain, that a great

00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:47.929
multitude met him. Suddenly a man from the multitude

00:16:47.929 --> 00:16:51.049
cried out, saying, Teacher, I implore you, look

00:16:51.049 --> 00:16:54.149
on my son, for he is my only child. And behold,

00:16:54.409 --> 00:16:57.429
a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out.

00:16:57.610 --> 00:17:00.570
It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth,

00:17:00.690 --> 00:17:02.950
and it departs from him with great difficulty,

00:17:03.230 --> 00:17:06.269
bruising him. So I implored your disciples to

00:17:06.269 --> 00:17:09.369
cast it out, but they could not. Then Jesus answered

00:17:09.369 --> 00:17:12.130
and said, O faithless and perverse generation,

00:17:12.549 --> 00:17:18.279
how long shall I be with you? And as he was still

00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.220
coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed

00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:24.259
him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:27.859
the child, and gave him back to his father. And

00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:30.740
they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But

00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:33.299
while everyone marveled at all the things which

00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:36.539
Jesus did, he said to his disciples, Let these

00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:40.119
words sink down into your ears, for the Son of

00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.720
Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of

00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.259
men. But they did not understand this saying,

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.980
and it was hidden from them so that they did

00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:50.660
not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:54.200
him about this saying. Then a dispute arose among

00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.599
them as to which of them would be greatest. And

00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.799
Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart,

00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:03.380
took a little child and set him by him. And said

00:18:03.380 --> 00:18:06.240
to them, Whoever receives this little child in

00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.000
my name receives me, and whoever receives me

00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.960
receives him who sent me. For he who is least

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.099
among you all will be great. Now John answered

00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:18.019
and said, Master, we saw someone casting out

00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:20.759
demons in your name, and we forbade him because

00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.859
he does not follow with us. But Jesus said to

00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:26.940
him, Do not forbid him, for he who is not against

00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:30.799
us is on our side. Now it came to pass, when

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.299
the time had come, for him to be received up,

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:36.980
that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

00:18:37.140 --> 00:18:40.440
and sent messengers before his face. And as they

00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.059
went, they entered a village of the Samaritans

00:18:43.059 --> 00:18:45.480
to prepare for him. But they did not receive

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.160
him, because his face was set for the journey

00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.250
to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and

00:18:51.250 --> 00:18:54.349
John saw this, they said, Lord, do you want us

00:18:54.349 --> 00:18:56.509
to command fire to come down from heaven and

00:18:56.509 --> 00:18:59.769
consume them, just as Elijah did? But he turned

00:18:59.769 --> 00:19:02.509
and rebuked them and said, You do not know what

00:19:02.509 --> 00:19:05.890
manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man

00:19:05.890 --> 00:19:08.609
did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save

00:19:08.609 --> 00:19:12.029
them. And they went to another village. Now it

00:19:12.029 --> 00:19:14.670
happened as they journeyed on the road that someone

00:19:14.670 --> 00:19:17.670
said to him, Lord, I will follow you wherever

00:19:17.670 --> 00:19:39.730
you go. And Jesus said to him, And another also

00:19:39.730 --> 00:19:48.920
said, But Jesus said to him, No one having put

00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.400
his hand to the plow and looking back is fit

00:19:52.400 --> 00:20:00.779
for the kingdom of God. I hope you enjoyed today's

00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:02.980
reading as much as I did, and I look forward

00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:05.019
to seeing you again tomorrow to continue on our

00:20:05.019 --> 00:20:07.119
journey. God bless you and have a great day.
