Luke 9 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Now ^G1161 Herod ^G2264 the tetrarch ^G5076 heard ^G191 of all ^G3956 that was happening ^G1096, and he was greatly ^G1280 perplexed ^G1280, because ^G1223 it was said ^G3004 by some ^G5100 that John ^G2491 had risen ^G1453 from the dead ^G3498,

And when the apostles ^G652 returned ^G5290, they recounted ^G1334 to Him all ^G3745 that ^G3745 they had done ^G4160. Taking ^G3880 them with Him, He slipped ^G5298 away ^G5298 by Himself ^G2398 to a city ^G4172 called ^G2564 Bethsaida ^G966.

Now the day ^G2250 [fn]was ending ^G2827, and the twelve ^G1427 came ^G4334 and said ^G3004 to Him, “Send ^G630 the crowd ^G3793 away ^G630, that they may go ^G4198 into the surrounding ^G2945 villages ^G2968 and countryside ^G68 and obtain ^G2647 lodging ^G2647 and find ^G2147 provisions ^G1979, for here ^G5602 we are in a desolate ^G2048 place ^G5117.”

And it happened ^G1096 that while ^G1722 He was praying ^G4336 alone ^G3441, the disciples ^G3101 were with Him, and He questioned ^G1905 them, saying ^G3004, “Who ^G5101 do the crowds ^G3793 say ^G3004 that I am ^G1510?”

And He was saying ^G3004 to them all ^G3956, “If ^G1487 anyone ^G5100 wishes ^G2309 to come ^G2064 after ^G3694 Me, let him deny ^G720 himself ^G1438, and take ^G142 up ^G142 his cross ^G4716 daily ^G2596 G2250 and follow ^G190 Me.

Now it happened ^G1096 some ^G5616 eight ^G3638 days ^G2250 after ^G3326 these ^G3778 words ^G3056, that taking ^G3880 along ^G3880 Peter ^G4074 and John ^G2491 and James ^G2385, He went ^G305 up ^G305 on the mountain ^G3735 to pray ^G4336.

Now it happened ^G1096 on the next ^G1836 day ^G2250, that when they came ^G2718 down ^G2718 from the mountain ^G3735, a large ^G4183 crowd ^G3793 met ^G4876 Him.

But while everyone ^G3956 was ^G2296 marveling ^G2296 at all ^G3956 that He was doing ^G4160, He said ^G3004 to His disciples ^G3101,

Now an argument ^G1261 [fn]started ^G1525 among ^G1722 them as to which ^G5101 of them might be the greatest ^G3173.

And John ^G2491 answered ^G611 and said ^G3004, “Master ^G1988, we saw ^G3708 someone ^G5100 casting ^G1544 out ^G1544 demons ^G1140 in Your name ^G3686, and we tried to hinder ^G2967 him because ^G3754 he does not follow ^G190 along with us.”

Now it happened ^G1096 that when ^G1722 the days ^G2250 for Him to be taken ^G354 up ^G354 were soon to be fulfilled ^G4845, He set ^G4741 His face ^G3588 to go ^G4198 to Jerusalem ^G2419;

And as they were going ^G4198 along ^G1722 the road ^G3598, someone ^G5100 said ^G3004 to Him, “I will follow ^G190 You wherever ^G3699 G1437 You go ^G565.”
