42:009:005 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. 42:009:006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. 42:009:007 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; 42:009:008 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 42:009:009 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. 42:009:010 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 42:009:011 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. 42:009:012 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. 42:009:013 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. 42:009:014 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. 42:009:015 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 42:009:016 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 42:009:017 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. 42:009:018 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? 42:009:019 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. 42:009:020 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 42:009:021 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 42:009:022 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. 42:009:023 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
