10And the apostles, when they were returned , toldhim all that they had done . And he tookthem, and went asideprivatelyinto a desertplace belonging to the citycalledBethsaida.11And the people, when they knew it, followedhim:and he receivedthem, and spake unto themof the kingdom of God,andhealed them that hadneed of healing.12And when the daybegan to wear away , thencame the twelve, and said unto him,Send the multitudeaway , that they may gointo the townsandcountry round about, and lodge , andgetvictuals:for we areherein a desertplace.13But he saiduntothem,Giveyethem to eat . And they said , We have nomorebutfiveloavesandtwofishes;exceptwe should go and buymeatforallthispeople.14For they wereabout five thousandmen.And he saidtohisdisciples,Makethem sit downbyfifties in a company.15And they didso,andmade them all sit down .
16Then he took the fiveloavesand the twofishes, and looking uptoheaven, he blessedthem,andbrake , andgave to the disciples to set before the multitude.17And they did eat , andwereallfilled : and there was taken up of fragments that remained to themtwelvebaskets.18And it came to pass , as he wasalonepraying , hisdisciples were withhim:and he askedthem,saying , Whomsay the people that Iam ?19Theyansweringsaid , John the Baptist;butsome say, Elias;andothers say, thatone of the oldprophets is risen again .
20Hesaid unto them,Butwhomsayye that Iam ?Peteransweringsaid , The Christ of God.21And he straitly chargedthem, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;22Saying , The Son of manmustsuffer many things,and be rejectedof the eldersand chief priestsandscribes,and be slain , and be raised the thirdday.23And he saidto them all,If any manwillcomeafterme, let him denyhimself,and take uphiscrossdaily , andfollowme.24Forwhosoeverwillsavehislife shall loseit:butwhosoeverwilllosehislife for mysake, the same shall saveit.25Forwhatis a manadvantaged , if he gain the wholeworld,andlosehimself,or be cast away ?26Forwhosoevershall be ashamed of meand of mywords, of himshall the Son of man be ashamed , when he shall comein his ownglory,and in his Father's,and of the holyangels.27But I tellyou of a truth, there besomestandinghere,whichshallnottaste of death,tilltheysee the kingdom of God.28And it came to passabout an eightdaysafterthesesayings ,a he tookPeterandJohnandJames, and went upinto a mountain to pray .

30And,behold , there talked with himtwomen,whichwereMosesandElias:31Whoappearedinglory, and spake of hisdeceasewhich he shouldaccomplishatJerusalem.32ButPeterand they that were withhimwereheavy with sleep:and when they were awake , they sawhisglory,and the twomen that stood withhim.33And it came to pass , astheydepartedfromhim,PetersaiduntoJesus,Master, it isgood for us to behere:and let us makethreetabernacles; one forthee,and one forMoses,and one forElias:notknowingwhat he said .
34Whilehethusspake , there came a cloud,andovershadowedthem:and they fearedastheyenteredinto the cloud.35And there came a voice out of the cloud,saying , ThisismybelovedSon:hearhim.36And when the voice was past , Jesus was foundalone.Andthey kept it close , andtold no maninthosedaysany of those things which they had seen .
37And it came to pass , that on the nextday, when they were come downfrom the hill,muchpeoplemethim.38And,behold , a manof the company cried out , saying , Master, I beseechthee,lookuponmyson:for he ismine only child.39And,lo , a spirittakethhim,and he suddenly crieth out ; and it tearethhim that he foamethagain,andbruisinghimhardlydepartethfromhim.40And I besoughtthydisciplestocasthimout ; and they couldnot.41AndJesusansweringsaid , Ofaithlessandperversegeneration,howlong shall I bewithyou,andsufferyou?Bringthysonhither.42And as hewasyet a coming , the devilthrewhimdown , andtare him.
