Jesus Sends His Apostles on a Mission(Mt. 10:5-15; Mk. 6:7-13)

¹Jesus called his twelve apostlesa together. He gave them power to heal sicknesses and power to force demonsb out of people. ²He sent them to tell about God's kingdomc and to heal the sick. ³He said to them, "When you travel, don't take a walking stick. Also, don't carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing. ⁴When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave. ⁵If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them."
⁶So the apostles went out. They traveled through all the towns. They told the Good Newsd and healed people everywhere.

Herod Is Confused About Jesus(Mt. 14:1-12; Mk. 6:14-29) ⁷Herode the ruler heard about all these things that were happening. He was confused because some people said, "John the Baptizer has risen from death." ⁸Others said, "Elijahf has come to us." And some others said, "One of the prophetsg from long ago has risen from death." ⁹Herod said, "I cut off John's head. So who is this man I hear these things about?" Herod continued trying to see Jesus.

Jesus Feeds More Than 5000(Mt. 14:13-21; Mk. 6:30-44; Jn. 6:1-14) ¹⁰When the apostlesa came back, they told Jesus what they had done on their trip. Then he took them away to a town called Bethsaida. There, he and his apostles could be alone together. ¹¹But the people learned where Jesus went and followed him. He welcomed them and talked with them about God's kingdomc. He healed the people who were sick.
¹²Late in the afternoon, the twelve apostles came to Jesus and said, "No one lives in this place. Send the people away. They need to find food and places to sleep in the farms and towns around here."
¹³But Jesus said to the apostles, "You give them something to eat." ,
They said, "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish. Do you want us to go buy food for all these people?" There are too many! ¹⁴(There were about 5000 men there.)
Jesus said to his followers, "Tell the people to sit in groups of about 50 people."
¹⁵So the followers did this and everyone sat down. ¹⁶Then Jesus took the five loaves of bread and two fish. He looked up into the sky and thanked God for the food. Then he broke it into pieces, which he gave to the followers to give to the people. ¹⁷They all ate until they were full. And there was a lot of food left. Twelve baskets were filled with the pieces of food that were not eaten.

Peter Says Jesus Is the Messiah(Mt. 16:13-19; Mk. 8:27-29) ¹⁸One time Jesus was praying alone. His followers came together there, and he asked them, "Who do the people say I am?"
¹⁹They answered, "Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijahf. And some people say you are one of the prophetsg from long ago that has come back to life."
²⁰Then Jesus said to his followers, "And who do you say I am?"
Peter answered, "You are the Messiahh from God."
²¹Jesus warned them not to tell anyone.

Jesus Says He Must Die(Mt. 16:21-28; Mk. 8:30-9:1) ²²Then Jesus said, "The Son of Mani must suffer many things. He will be rejected by the older Jewish leaders, the leading priests, and teachers of the law. And he will be killed. But after three days he will be raised from death."
²³Jesus continued to say to all of them, "Any of you who want to be my follower must stop thinking about yourself and what you want. You must be willing to carry the crossj that is given to you every day for following me. ²⁴Any of you who try to save the life you have will lose it. But you who give up your life for me will save it. ²⁵It is worth nothing for you to have the whole world if you yourself are destroyed or lost. ²⁶Don't be ashamed of me and my teaching. If that happens, Ik will be ashamed of you when I come with my divine greatnessl and that of the Father and the holy angels. ²⁷Believe me when I say that some of you people standing here will see God's kingdomc before you die."

Jesus Is Seen With Moses and Elijah(Mt. 17:1-8; Mk. 9:2-8) ²⁸About eight days after Jesus said these things, he took Peter, John, and James and went up on a mountain to pray. ²⁹While Jesus was praying, his face began to change. His clothes became shining white. ³⁰Then two men were there, talking with him. They were Mosesm and Elijahf. ³¹They also looked bright and glorious. They were talking with Jesus about his death that would happen in Jerusalem. ³²Peter and the others were asleep. But they woke up and saw the gloryn of Jesus. They also saw the two men who were standing with him. ³³When Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said, "Master, it is good that we are here. We will put three tents here - one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.)
³⁴While Peter was saying these things, a cloud came all around them. Peter, John, and James were afraid when the cloud covered them. ³⁵A voice came from the cloud and said, "This is my Son. He is the one I have chosen. Obey him."
³⁶When the voice stopped, only Jesus was there. Peter, John, and James said nothing. And for a long time after that, they told no one about what they had seen.

Jesus Frees a Boy From an Evil Spirit(Mt. 17:14-18; Mk. 9:14-27) ³⁷The next day, Jesus, Peter, John, and James came down from the mountain. A large group of people met Jesus. ³⁸A man in the group shouted to him, "Teacher, please come and look at my son. He is the only child I have. ³⁹An evil spirit comes into him, and then he shouts. He loses control of himself and foams at the mouth. The evil spirit continues to hurt him and almost never leaves him. ⁴⁰I begged your followers to make the evil spirit leave my son, but they could not do it."
⁴¹Jesus answered, "You people today have no faith. Your lives are all wrong. How long must I be with you and be patient with you?" Then Jesus said to the man, "Bring your son here."
⁴²While the boy was coming, the demonb threw the boy to the ground. The boy lost control of himself. But Jesus gave a strong command to the evil spirit. Then the boy was healed, and Jesus gave him back to his father. ⁴³All the people were amazed at the great power of God.

Jesus Talks About His Death(Mt. 17:22-23; Mk. 9:30-32) The people were still amazed about all the things Jesus did. He said to his followers, ⁴⁴"Don't forget what I will tell you now: The Son of Mani will soon be handed over to the control of other men." ⁴⁵But the followers did not understand what he meant. The meaning was hidden from them so that they could not understand it. But they were afraid to ask Jesus about what he said.

Who Is the Greatest?(Mt. 18:1-5; Mk. 9:33-37) ⁴⁶Jesus' followers began to have an argument about which one of them was the greatest. ⁴⁷Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he took a little child and stood the child beside him. ⁴⁸Then he said to the followers, "Whoever accepts a little child like this in my name is accepting me. And anyone who accepts me is also accepting the one who sent me. The one among you who is the most humble - this is the one who is great."

Whoever Is Not Against You Is for You(Mk. 9:38-40) ⁴⁹John answered, "Master, we saw someone using your name to force demonsb out of people. We told him to stop because he does not belong to our group."
⁵⁰Jesus said to him, "Don't stop him. Whoever is not against you is for you."

A Samaritan Town ⁵¹The time was coming near when Jesus would leave and go back to heaven. He decided to go to Jerusalem. ⁵²He sent some men ahead of him. They went into a town in Samaria to make everything ready for him. ⁵³But the people there would not welcome Jesus because he was going toward Jerusalem. ⁵⁴James and John, the followers of Jesus, saw this. They said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and destroy those people?"o
⁵⁵But Jesus turned and criticized them for saying this.p ⁵⁶Then he and his followers went to another town.

Following Jesus(Mt. 8:19-22) ⁵⁷They were all traveling along the road. Someone said to Jesus, "I will follow you anywhere you go."
⁵⁸He answered, "The foxes have holes to live in. The birds have nests. But the Son of Mani has no place where he can rest his head."
⁵⁹Jesus said to another man, "Follow me!"
But the man said, "Lord, let me go and bury my father first."
⁶⁰But Jesus said to him, "Let the people who are dead bury their own dead. You must go and tell about God's kingdomc."
⁶¹Another man said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me go and say goodbye to my family."
⁶²Jesus said, "Anyone who begins to plow a field but looks back is not prepared for God's kingdom."

^aapostle A follower of Jesus chosen to represent him in a special way. During his earthly ministry, Jesus named twelve men as apostles. They had the specific responsibility and authority to represent him and proclaim his message throughout the world. Later, he appeared to Paul and gave him a similar commission, especially to non-Jewish people. Barnabas, Paul’s missionary companion, and James, the brother of Jesus, are also called apostles, as well as several others in the New Testament. Some of these occurrences of the word, however, have the more general sense of “messenger” or “representative.”
^bdemon An evil spirit from the devil.
^cGod’s kingdom The “reign” or “rule” of God over all people who submit to him by accepting Jesus as the Messiah (the appointed king), who represents God’s kingdom on earth. Jesus was the perfect example of submission to the will of God. When people give control of their lives to Jesus, they become part of God’s kingdom and begin to enjoy the blessings he has promised his people from the beginning. (Note that in Matthew this term also translates the Greek word “kingdom” by itself or the phrase, “the kingdom of the heavens,” which was used by Jews as a way to avoid saying the divine name.)
^dGood News In the Gospels this is usually the news about the coming of God’s kingdom (see above) or its representative Jesus the Messiah. In other places it is, more specifically, the news or message of God’s grace - that he has made a way through Jesus Christ for people to be made right with him and enjoy his blessings now and forever.
^eHerod (1) Herod I (the Great), king of Judea and all of Palestine (40-4 b.c.), Mt. 2:1-22; Lk. 1:5; Acts 23:35. (2) Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, tetrarch (ruler) of Galilee and Perea (4 b.c.-39 a.d.), Mt. 14:1-6; Mk. 6:14-22; 8:15; Lk. 3:1, 19; 8:3; 9:7, 9; 13:31; 23:7-15; Acts 4:27; 13:1. (3) Herod Agrippa I, grandson of Herod the Great, king of Palestine (37-44 a.d.), Acts 12:1, 6-21.
^fElijah A very important Israelite leader and prophet who spoke for God during a 25-year period ending about 850 b.c. In the time of Jesus, the Jews were expecting Elijah to come again before the Messiah. See Mal. 4:5-6.
^gprophet A person who speaks a message from God. Many of the books in the Old Testament are messages spoken or written by “the prophets,” who were some of those God chose to speak for him. God often used dreams or visions to tell or show his prophets what they should say.
^hMessiah A Hebrew word that has the same meaning as the Greek word Christ (see “Christ”). It was a title for the kings of God’s people in the Old Testament and for the special king God promised to send as a “savior” to defeat evil and establish the reign of God. Many prophets made it clear that this new kingdom would be eternal; that is, not only would the promised Messiah bring about a time of justice and right living among God’s people here on earth, but also his kingdom would extend beyond this world to life forever with God. However, most Jews of the first century expected the Messiah to be a political ruler here on earth who would defeat the other nations and return the nation of Israel to a position of great glory and power. But God intended his Messiah to establish a new “Israel,” an eternal kingdom that would bless all the nations.
ⁱSon of Man The name that Jesus most often used for himself. The phrase in Hebrew or Aramaic means “human being” or “mankind,” but in Dan. 7:13-14 it is used of a future savior and king, and this was later understood to be the Messiah, the one God would send to save his people.
^jcross The wooden post that Romans used to execute criminals. It is a symbol of shame, suffering and death. Just as Jesus was willing to suffer death on a cross for all people, so he asks his followers to be willing to give up their lives for him.
^k9:26 I Literally, “the Son of Man” (Jesus).
^ldivine greatness Literally, “glory,” a word that refers to the special qualities of God. See “glory.”
^mMoses One of the most important leaders of the Israelites during the time of the Old Testament. God used him to give the people his law, which is often called “the Law of Moses.”
ⁿglory A word that refers to the special qualities of God. Often it means brightness, referring to the way he appears to people. Sometimes it means majesty or power, referring to a kind of greatness that cannot be compared to anything in human experience. It can also include the ideas of wealth, honor, fame, or respect, especially in expressions of praise.
^o9:54 Some Greek copies add “as Elijah did?”
^p9:55 Some Greek copies add “And he said, ‘You don’t know what kind of spirit you belong to. ⁵⁶The Son of Man did not come to destroy people’s lives but to save them.’”
