Luke 9:1-17

Jesus called his twelve apostles together. He gave them power to heal sicknesses and power to force demons out of people. 2. He sent them to tell about God’s kingdom and to heal the sick. 3. He said to them, “When you travel, don’t take a walking stick. Also, don’t carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing. 4. When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave. 5. If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them.” 6. So the apostles went out. They traveled through all the towns. They told the Good News and healed people everywhere. 7. Herod the ruler heard about all these things that were happening. He was confused because some people said, “John the Baptizer has risen from death.” 8. Others said, “Elijah has come to us.” And some others said, “One of the prophets from long ago has risen from death.” 9. Herod said, “I cut off John’s head. So who is this man I hear these things about?” Herod continued trying to see Jesus. 10. When the apostles came back, they told Jesus what they had done on their trip. Then he took them away to a town called Bethsaida. There, he and his apostles could be alone together. 11. But the people learned where Jesus went and followed him. He welcomed them and talked with them about God’s kingdom. He healed the people who were sick. 12. Late in the afternoon, the twelve apostles came to Jesus and said, “No one lives in this place. Send the people away. They need to find food and places to sleep in the farms and towns around here.” 13. But Jesus said to the apostles, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish. Do you want us to go buy food for all these people?” There are too many! 14. (There were about 5000 men there.) Jesus said to his followers, “Tell the people to sit in groups of about 50 people.” 15. So the followers did this and everyone sat down. 16. Then Jesus took the five loaves of bread and two fish. He looked up into the sky and thanked God for the food. Then he broke it into pieces, which he gave to the followers to give to the people. 17. They all ate until they were full. And there was a lot of food left. Twelve baskets were filled with the pieces of food that were not eaten.

Luke 24:49

Remember that I will send you the one my Father promised. Stay in the city until you are given that power from heaven.”

Acts 1:8

But the Holy Spirit will come on you and give you power. You will be my witnesses. You will tell people everywhere about me—in Jerusalem, in the rest of Judea, in Samaria, and in every part of the world.”
