Luke 9:1-13 ▼

1 Iesus called the twelue together, and gaue the power and aucthoritie ouer al deuils, and that they might heale diseases.

2 And he sent them to preache the kyngdome of God, and to heale the sicke.

3 And he saide vnto the: Take nothing to your iourney, neither staues, nor scrippe, neither bread, neither money, neither haue two coates.

4 And whatsoeuer house ye enter into, there abyde, and thence depart.

5 And whosoeuer wyll not receaue you, when ye go out of that citie, shake of the very dust from your feete, for a testimonie agaynst them.

6 And they departed, and went through the townes, preachyng the Gospell, and healyng euerywhere.

7 And Herode the tetrarche heard of all that was done by hym, and doubted, because that it was sayde of some, that Iohn was rysen agayne from death:

8 And of some, that Elias had appeared, and of some, that one of the olde prophetes was rysen agayne.

9 And Herode sayde, Iohn haue I beheaded, but who is this of who I heare such thinges? And he desired to see him.

10 And the apostles returned, & tolde him all that they had done. And he toke the and went aside into a solitarie place, nye vnto the citie that is called Bethsaida.

11 Which whe the people knew, they folowed him: And he receaued them, and spake vnto the of the kingdome of God, & healed the that had nede to be healed.

12 And when the day began to weare away, then came the twelue and sayde vnto hym: Sende the people awaye, that they may go into the townes and vyllages rounde about, and lodge, and get meate: for we are here in a place of wyldernesse.

13 But he said vnto them: Geue ye the to eate. And they said: We haue no mo but fyue loaues and two fisshes, excepte we should go & bye meate for al this people.
