Luke 9 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Now ^G1161 Herod ^G2264 the tetrarch ^G5076 heard ^G191 about 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,

When the apostles ^G652 returned ^G5290, they gave ^G1334 an ^G1334 account ^G1334 to Him of all ^G3745 that ^G3745 they had done ^G4160. And taking ^G3880 them with Him, He withdrew ^G5298 privately ^G2398 to a city ^G4172 called ^G2564 Bethsaida ^G966.

Now ^G1161 the day ^G2250 [fn]was ending ^G2827, and the twelve ^G1427 came ^G4334 up ^G4334 and said ^G3004 to Him, “Dismiss ^G630 the crowd ^G3793, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 they may go ^G4198 into the surrounding ^G2945 villages ^G2968 and countryside ^G68 and find ^G2647 lodging ^G2647 and get ^G2147 [fn]something ^G1979 to ^G1979 eat ^G1979; because ^G3754 here ^G5602, we are in a secluded ^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 [fn]people ^G3793 say ^G3004 that I am ^G1510?”

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

About ^G5616 eight ^G3638 days ^G2250 after ^G3326 these ^G3778 sayings ^G3056, He took ^G3880 along ^G3880 Peter ^G4074, John ^G2491, and James ^G2385, and went ^G305 up ^G305 on the mountain ^G3735 to pray ^G4336.

On the next ^G1836 day ^G2250, when they came ^G2718 down ^G2718 from the mountain ^G3735, a large ^G4183 crowd ^G3793 met ^G4876 Him.

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

Now ^G1161 an argument ^G1261 [fn]started ^G1525 among ^G1722 them as to which ^G5101 of them might be the greatest ^G3173.

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 prevent ^G2967 him, because ^G3754 he does not follow ^G190 along ^G190 with ^G190 us.”

When ^G1722 the days ^G2250 were approaching ^G4845 for His [fn]ascension ^G354, He [fn]was determined ^G4741 to go ^G4198 to Jerusalem ^G2419;

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