Luke 9
Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them
power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
-
The call ones, Jesus gave them power over
devils, evil spirits and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
-
Jesus sent the disciples to teach the word and
to heal the sick.
-
Which we know only God can heal, but we ask God to heal, and if it is His
will, they will be healed.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves,
nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 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.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel,
and healing every where.
7 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;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the
old prophets was risen again.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear
such things? And he desired to see him.
-
Herod said,
John have I beheaded
10 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.
-
Bethsaida = house of the fish = symbolized
to Christianity
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples,
Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 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.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of
fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
-
Matthew 16:8 Which when Jesus perceived,
he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why
reason ye among yourselves, because ye have
brought no bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the
five loaves of the five thousand, and how many
baskets ye took up?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four
thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I
spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye
should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and
of the Sadducees?
12 Then understood they how that he bade them
not beware of the leaven of bread, but of
the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees.
18 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?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and
others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said,
The Christ of God.
-
Matthew 16:12 Then understood they how
that he bade them not beware of the leaven of
bread, but of the doctrine of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom
do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John
the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias,
or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I
am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed
art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood
hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father
which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art
Peter, and upon this rock I will build my
church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the
kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt
bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they
should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that
thing;
-
That thing = this = Thus closes the second of
the four great periods of the Lord's ministry.
-
Enough had been said and done by Him Ap.119
22 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.
-
Sufferings and Glory First, Foretold
-
Suffer = to suffer
-
This is the first mention of His sufferings.
-
Be rejected = After trial, therefore trial
premeditation, and deliberate, "after three
days"
-
Matthew 27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet
alive, After three days I will rise again.
23 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.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will
lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose
himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of
him shall
the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in
his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall
not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
- Kingdom = There can be no
kingdom apart from a king. Messiah's Kingdom on earth
- Jesus Is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 7th trump the first day of the millennium. The Lord's day!!
- Many of them just spend forty days with him, on the fifty day the
Holy Spirit came to them.
- Verse 22 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.
28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took
Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
-
He took Peter and John and James, and went up
into a mountain to pray, eight days after these sayings
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his
raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and
Elias:
-
Elias = Elijah
-
Moses and Elijah
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should
accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when
they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with
him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto
Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three
tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not
knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and
they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved
Son: hear him.
-
God's saying listen to Him, Jesus
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it
close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had
seen.
-
They kept it close = they all left together
37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down
from the hill, much people met him.
38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I
beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it
teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth
from him.
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
-
Why couldn't the Disciples cast the devil out?
-
Matthew 17:15 Lord, have mercy on
my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for oft times he
falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I
brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse
generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I
suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked
the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured
from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus
apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 And
Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say
unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall
say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it
shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
-
Man can't do nothing without God. First
you need to have faith.
41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how
long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
-
Because, they didn't have the faith
-
Faithless means unbelieving
42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him.
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and
delivered him again to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they
wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his
disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall
be delivered into the hands of men.
-
Delivered = delivered up. The second
announcement of His sufferings.
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that
they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be
greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and
set him by him,
-
Jesus could read their minds
48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name
receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me:
for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
-
Who was the greatest? Jesus
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in
thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against
us is for us.
-
If they are doing the same work as us
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be
received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
-
When the time was come = the fulfilling of the
days.
-
Marking a certain stage of the Lord's ministry.
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into
a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
-
Samaritans didn't care for Israel at this time
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would
go to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt
thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them,
even as Elias did?
-
The disciples have already saw Elijah, verse 30
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of
spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save
them. And they went to another village.
-
Jesus came to save lives.
You are here to help people
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man
said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have
nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me
first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and
preach the kingdom of God.
-
What's comes first?
The word of God.
-
Help the people, teach the word.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go
bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough,
and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
-
Plough = has blade
-
Never look back
