We love you. Amen. 00:01:08.90\00:01:12.26 I'm reading in the gospel of Luke, chapter 8 and starting 00:01:12.29\00:01:17.18 with verse 30. Jesus has just come ashore and been met by 00:01:17.21\00:01:21.09 a man possessed by devils. - And Jesus asked him saying, 00:01:21.12\00:01:25.64 What is thy name? And he answered, Legion, because 00:01:25.67\00:01:30.68 many devils were entered into him. And they besought him 00:01:30.71\00:01:34.11 that he would not command them to go out into the deep. 00:01:34.14\00:01:36.60 And there was there an herd of many swine, feeding on the 00:01:36.63\00:01:40.29 mountain. And they besought him that he would suffer them 00:01:40.32\00:01:43.70 to enter into them. And he suffered them. 00:01:43.73\00:01:46.69 Then went the devils out of the man and entered into the swine 00:01:46.72\00:01:50.81 and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, 00:01:50.84\00:01:54.29 and were choked. When they that fed them saw what was done, 00:01:54.32\00:01:58.32 they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. 00:01:58.35\00:02:02.42 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, 00:02:02.45\00:02:07.06 and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, 00:02:07.09\00:02:09.92 sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind: 00:02:09.95\00:02:14.44 and they were afraid. They also which saw it told them 00:02:14.47\00:02:19.03 by what means he that was possessed of the devils 00:02:19.06\00:02:21.97 was healed. Then the whole multitude of the country 00:02:22.00\00:02:25.44 of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from 00:02:25.47\00:02:28.90 them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into 00:02:28.93\00:02:32.93 the ship, and returned back again. Now the man out of whom 00:02:32.96\00:02:37.85 the devils were departed besought him that he might 00:02:37.88\00:02:41.40 be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thine 00:02:41.43\00:02:46.52 own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. 00:02:46.55\00:02:51.79 And he went his way, and published throughout the 00:02:51.82\00:02:55.66 whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. 00:02:55.69\00:02:59.22 And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned, the people 00:02:59.25\00:03:04.05 gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. 00:03:04.08\00:03:07.85 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler 00:03:07.88\00:03:12.54 of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, 00:03:12.57\00:03:15.23 and besought him that he would come into his house: 00:03:15.26\00:03:17.75 for he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, 00:03:17.78\00:03:21.73 and she lay a-dying. But as he went the people thronged him. 00:03:21.76\00:03:26.54 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had 00:03:26.57\00:03:31.13 spent all her living upon physicians, neither could 00:03:31.16\00:03:34.42 be healed of any, came behind him, and touched the border 00:03:34.45\00:03:38.65 of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. 00:03:38.68\00:03:42.97 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they 00:03:43.00\00:03:48.61 that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and 00:03:48.64\00:03:52.53 press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me: and Jesus said, 00:03:52.56\00:03:56.53 Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone 00:03:56.56\00:04:00.32 out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she 00:04:00.35\00:04:04.56 came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto 00:04:04.59\00:04:08.78 him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, 00:04:08.81\00:04:12.93 and how she was healed immediately. And he said 00:04:12.96\00:04:16.22 unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made 00:04:16.25\00:04:20.26 thee whole; go in peace. While he yet spake, 00:04:20.29\00:04:24.53 there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's 00:04:24.56\00:04:27.64 house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; 00:04:27.67\00:04:30.45 trouble not the Master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him 00:04:30.48\00:04:34.74 saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 00:04:34.77\00:04:39.51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, 00:04:39.54\00:04:43.49 save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother 00:04:43.52\00:04:46.65 of the maiden. And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, 00:04:46.68\00:04:51.89 Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed 00:04:51.92\00:04:56.06 him to scorn, knowing that she was dead, and he put them all 00:04:56.09\00:04:59.68 out and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 00:04:59.71\00:05:03.84 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he 00:05:03.87\00:05:08.99 commanded to give her meat. And her parents were astonished: 00:05:09.02\00:05:13.44 but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done 00:05:13.47\00:05:17.60 I'm reading in the gospel of Luke, chapter 9. 00:05:17.63\00:05:21.42 Then he called his 12 disciples together, and gave them power 00:05:21.45\00:05:26.05 and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 00:05:26.08\00:05:29.70 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the 00:05:29.73\00:05:33.57 sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, 00:05:33.60\00:05:36.92 neither staves, nor script, neither bread, neither money 00:05:36.95\00:05:40.16 neither have two coats apiece. And whatsoever house ye enter 00:05:40.19\00:05:44.29 into, there abide, and thence depart. And whosoever will 00:05:44.32\00:05:49.04 not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very 00:05:49.07\00:05:53.23 dust from your feet for a testimony against them. 00:05:53.26\00:05:56.18 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching 00:05:56.21\00:06:00.38 the gospel, and healing every where. 00:06:00.41\00:06:02.32 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: 00:06:02.35\00:06:06.74 and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that 00:06:06.77\00:06:09.73 John was risen from the dead; And of some, that Elias had 00:06:09.76\00:06:13.31 appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets 00:06:13.34\00:06:15.34 was risen again. And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who 00:06:15.37\00:06:20.01 is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to 00:06:20.04\00:06:23.80 see him. And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all 00:06:23.83\00:06:28.55 that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately 00:06:28.58\00:06:32.79 into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 00:06:32.82\00:06:37.66 And the people, when they knew it followed him: and he received 00:06:37.69\00:06:42.03 them and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them 00:06:42.06\00:06:45.44 that had need of healing. And when the day began to wear away 00:06:45.47\00:06:49.26 then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude 00:06:49.29\00:06:53.37 away that they may go into the towns, and country round about 00:06:53.40\00:06:57.08 and lodge and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. 00:06:57.11\00:07:01.28 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, 00:07:01.31\00:07:06.97 We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should 00:07:07.00\00:07:11.22 go and buy meat for all this people. For they were about 00:07:11.25\00:07:14.50 five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit 00:07:14.53\00:07:19.33 down by fifties in a company. And they did so, 00:07:19.36\00:07:22.72 and made them all sit down. Then he took the five loaves 00:07:22.75\00:07:26.71 and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, 00:07:26.74\00:07:29.95 and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the 00:07:29.98\00:07:33.24 multitude. And they did eat, and were all filled: 00:07:33.27\00:07:36.74 and there was taken up of the fragments that remained to 00:07:36.77\00:07:40.75 them twelve baskets. And it came to pass, as was alone praying, 00:07:40.78\00:07:46.75 his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, 00:07:46.78\00:07:49.77 Whom say the people that I am? They answering said, 00:07:49.80\00:07:54.25 John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, 00:07:54.28\00:07:57.81 that one of the old prophets is risen again. He said unto them, 00:07:57.84\00:08:02.09 But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, 00:08:02.12\00:08:07.01 The Christ of God. And he straightly charged them, 00:08:07.04\00:08:11.15 and commanded them to tell no man that thing; saying, 00:08:11.18\00:08:14.91 the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected 00:08:14.94\00:08:18.77 of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, 00:08:18.80\00:08:22.72 and be raised the third day. And he said to them all, 00:08:22.75\00:08:26.21 If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, 00:08:26.24\00:08:29.71 and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will 00:08:29.74\00:08:33.64 save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life 00:08:33.67\00:08:37.69 for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged 00:08:37.72\00:08:42.21 if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 00:08:42.24\00:08:45.70 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him 00:08:45.73\00:08:50.73 shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own 00:08:50.76\00:08:54.18 glory, and in his Father's and of the holy angels. 00:08:54.21\00:08:57.24 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, 00:08:57.27\00:09:01.36 which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God 00:09:01.39\00:09:05.12 And it came to pass about an 8 days after these sayings, 00:09:05.15\00:09:10.02 he took Peter and John and James and went up into a mountain 00:09:10.05\00:09:13.71 to pray. And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance 00:09:13.74\00:09:18.04 was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. 00:09:18.07\00:09:21.83 And, behold, there talked with him two men, 00:09:21.86\00:09:24.84 which were Moses and Elias: Who appeared in glory, and spake of 00:09:24.87\00:09:29.77 his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 00:09:29.80\00:09:32.73 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. 00:09:32.76\00:09:38.06 and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men 00:09:38.09\00:09:42.17 that stood with him. And it came to pass, 00:09:42.20\00:09:45.15 as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, 00:09:45.18\00:09:49.62 it is good for us to be here: and let us make 3 tabernacles; 00:09:49.65\00:09:53.27 one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: 00:09:53.30\00:09:56.83 not knowing what he said. While he thus spake there came a cloud 00:09:56.86\00:10:02.59 and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered 00:10:02.62\00:10:06.39 into the cloud. And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, 00:10:06.42\00:10:09.87 This is my beloved Son: hear him. And when the voice was past 00:10:09.98\00:10:15.56 Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man 00:10:15.60\00:10:20.54 in those days any of those things which they had seen. 00:10:20.57\00:10:23.62 And it came to pass, that on the next day, 00:10:23.65\00:10:26.63 when they were come down from the hill, much people met him. 00:10:26.66\00:10:30.13 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, 00:10:30.16\00:10:34.26 Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: 00:10:34.29\00:10:37.48 for he is mine only child. And lo, a spirit taketh him, 00:10:37.51\00:10:41.88 and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth 00:10:41.91\00:10:45.77 again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. 00:10:45.80\00:10:49.01 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not 00:10:49.04\00:10:53.22 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse 00:10:53.25\00:10:58.18 generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? 00:10:58.21\00:11:01.75 Bring thy son hither. And as he was yet a-coming the devil 00:11:01.78\00:11:07.26 threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean 00:11:07.29\00:11:11.85 spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again 00:11:11.88\00:11:15.06 to his father. And they were all amazed at the mighty power 00:11:15.09\00:11:19.20 of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which 00:11:19.23\00:11:23.54 Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, Let these sayings 00:11:23.57\00:11:28.00 sink down into your ears for the Son of man shall be delivered 00:11:28.03\00:11:32.39 into the hands of men. But they understood not this saying, 00:11:32.42\00:11:36.52 and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: 00:11:36.55\00:11:39.68 and they feared to ask him of that saying. Then there arose 00:11:39.71\00:11:44.16 a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 00:11:44.19\00:11:47.63 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, 00:11:47.66\00:11:51.62 took a child, and set him by him. and said unto them, 00:11:51.65\00:11:55.99 Whosoever shall receive this child in my name 00:11:56.02\00:11:59.41 receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him 00:11:59.44\00:12:04.38 that sent me: for he that is least among you all, 00:12:04.41\00:12:07.88 the same shall be great. And John answered and said, 00:12:07.91\00:12:12.43 Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name: 00:12:12.46\00:12:16.01 and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. 00:12:16.04\00:12:18.76 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: 00:12:18.79\00:12:22.44 for he that is not against us is for us. And it came to pass, 00:12:22.47\00:12:27.86 when the time was come that he should be received up, 00:12:27.89\00:12:30.28 he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 00:12:30.31\00:12:34.37 and sent messengers before his face: and they went, 00:12:34.40\00:12:37.83 and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready 00:12:37.86\00:12:41.33 for him. And they did not receive him, because his face 00:12:41.36\00:12:44.83 was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 00:12:44.86\00:12:47.23 And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, 00:12:47.26\00:12:51.61 Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, 00:12:51.64\00:12:55.96 and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked 00:12:55.99\00:13:00.74 them and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 00:13:00.77\00:13:04.89 For the son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, 00:13:04.92\00:13:09.20 but to save them. And they went to another village. 00:13:09.23\00:13:12.77 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, 00:13:12.80\00:13:16.11 a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee 00:13:16.14\00:13:20.04 whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him. 00:13:20.07\00:13:23.24 Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; 00:13:23.27\00:13:26.73 but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 00:13:26.76\00:13:30.00 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, 00:13:30.03\00:13:35.01 Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 00:13:35.04\00:13:37.82 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: 00:13:37.85\00:13:41.72 but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 00:13:41.75\00:13:44.66 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; 00:13:44.69\00:13:48.55 but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home 00:13:48.58\00:13:51.65 at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand 00:13:51.68\00:13:56.21 to the plough, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. 00:13:56.24\00:14:00.30 I'm reading in the gospel of Luke, chapter 10. 00:14:00.33\00:14:03.84 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also 00:14:03.87\00:14:08.58 and sent them two and two before his face into every city 00:14:08.61\00:14:13.35 and place, whither he himself would come. 00:14:13.38\00:14:16.15 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, 00:14:16.18\00:14:19.64 but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord 00:14:19.67\00:14:23.64 of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers 00:14:23.67\00:14:26.22 into his harvest. - Thank you for joining with me today 00:14:26.25\00:14:30.30 to read the word of God.
