• Jesus Christ

    • foretells His death and resurrection, Matt. 16:21–26 (17:22–2320:17–28Mark 8:31–379:30–3210:32–45Luke 9:22–259:43–4518:31–34).

      • 21 ¶ From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

        22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

        23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

        24 ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

        25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

        26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

      • 22 ¶ And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

        23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

      • 17 ¶ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,

        18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

        19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

        20 ¶ Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

        21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

        22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

        23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

        24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

        25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

        26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be greatamong you, let him be your minister;

        27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

        28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

      • 31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

        32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

        33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

        34 ¶ And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

        35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.

        36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

        37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

      • 30 ¶ And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.

        31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of manis delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.

        32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

      • 32 ¶ And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,

        33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of manshall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

        34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

        35 ¶ And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.

        36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

        37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

        38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptismthat I am baptized with?

        39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

        40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

        41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

        42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

        43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be greatamong you, shall be your minister:

        44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

        45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

      • 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.

        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?

      • 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.

        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.

      • 31 ¶ Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

        32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

        33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

        34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

    • is transfigured, Matt. 17:1–8 (Mark 9:2–8Luke 9:28–36).

      • And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

        And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

        And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

        Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

        While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

        And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

        And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

        And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

      • ¶ And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

        And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.

        And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

        And Peter answered and said to 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.

        For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

        And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voicecame out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

        And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

      • 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 mountainto pray.

        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:

        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.

        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.

    • sends forth the seventy, Luke 10:1–24.

      • After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

        Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

        Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

        Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

        And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

        And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

        And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

        And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

        And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

        10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

        11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

        12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

        13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

        14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

        15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

        16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

        17 ¶ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

        18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

        19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

        20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

        21 ¶ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

        22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

        23 ¶ And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

        24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
