1Jesus called together his twelve apostles and gave them complete power over all demons and diseases.
2Then he sent them to tell about God's kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 as a warning to them.”
6The apostles left and went from village to village, telling the good news and healing people everywhere.
Herod Is Worried(Matthew 14.1-12; Mark 6.14-29)7 the ruler heard about all that was happening, and he was worried. Some people were saying John the Baptist had come back to life.
8Others were saying Elijah had come or one of the prophets from long ago had come back to life.
9But Herod said, “I had John's head cut off! Who is this I hear so much about?” Herod was eager to meet Jesus.
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand(Matthew 14.13-21; Mark 6.30-44; John 6.1-14)10The apostles came back and told Jesus everything they had done. He then took them with him to the village of Bethsaida, where they could be alone.
11But a lot of people found out about this and followed him. Jesus welcomed them. He spoke about God's kingdom and healed everyone who was sick.
12Late in the afternoon the twelve apostles came to Jesus and said, “Send the crowd to the villages and farms around here. They need to find a place to stay and something to eat. There is nothing in this place. It's like a desert!”
13Jesus answered, “You give them something to eat.”
But they replied, “We have only five small loaves of bread and two fish. If we are going to feed all these people, we will have to go and buy food.”
14There were about 5,000 men in the crowd.
Jesus said to his disciples, “Tell the people to sit in groups of 50.”
15They did this, and all the people sat down.
16Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven and blessed the food. Then he broke the bread and fish and handed them to his disciples to give to the people.
17Everyone ate all they wanted. What was left over filled twelve baskets.
Who Is Jesus?(Matthew 16.13-19; Mark 8.27-29)18When Jesus was alone praying, his disciples came to him, and he asked them, “What do people say about me?”
19 or a prophet from long ago who has come back to life.”
20 you will destroy it. But if you give up your life for me, you will save it.
25What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself or waste your life?
26If you are ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory and in the glory of his Father and the holy angels.
27You can be sure some of the people standing here will not die before they see God's kingdom.
The True Glory of Jesus(Matthew 17.1-8; Mark 9.2-8)28 in Jerusalem would mean.
32Peter and the other two disciples had been sound asleep. All at once they woke up and saw how glorious Jesus was. They also saw the two men who were with him.
33Moses and Elijah were about to leave, when Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here! Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But Peter did not know what he was talking about.
34While Peter was still speaking, a shadow from a cloud passed over, and they were frightened as the cloud covered them.

55But Jesus turned and corrected them for what they had said.
56Then they all went on to another village.
Three People Who Wanted To Be Followers(Matthew 8.19-22)57Along the way someone said to Jesus, “I'll follow you anywhere!”
58Jesus said, “Foxes have dens, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man doesn't have a place to call his own.”
59Jesus told someone else to come with him. But the man said, “Lord, let me wait until I bury my father.”
60Jesus answered, “Let the dead take care of the dead, while you go and tell about God's kingdom.”
61 1 K 19.20. Then someone said to Jesus, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first let me go back and take care of things at home.”
62Jesus answered, “Anyone who starts plowing and keeps looking back isn't worth a thing to God's kingdom!”
