Jesus delegates his divine authority to heal and cast out demons—a power transfer that occurs in only two other Gospel passages, making this commissioning extraordinarily rare.
Luke 9
The Mission of the Twelve
1He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
3He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
4Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
6They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
7Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
10The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
11But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
12The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
13But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”
14For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15They did so, and made them all sit down.
16He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Peter's Confession and the First Passion Prediction
18As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
23He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
24For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
25For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
The Transfiguration
28About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
34While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
36When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
The Healing of a Boy with an Unclean Spirit
37On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
38Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
39Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
40I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
41Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
42While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
The Second Passion Prediction and Teachings on Discipleship
44“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
45But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
47Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
49John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
50Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
The Journey to Jerusalem Begins
51It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
52and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
54When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
55But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
57As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
58Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
59He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
60But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
61Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
62But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

The Mission of the Twelve
9:1–9:9 narrative instruction urgent
Jesus sends out the twelve disciples with power to heal and preach, while Herod becomes curious about Jesus' identity after hearing of his works.
person_contrast
Jesus delegates his divine authority to heal and cast out demons—a power transfer that occurs in only two other Gospel passages, making this commissioning extraordinarily rare.
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
9:10–9:17 narrative narration contemplative
Jesus miraculously feeds five thousand people with five loaves and two fish, demonstrating God's abundant provision and compassion for the multitudes.
person_contrast
Jesus uniquely combines kingdom proclamation with miraculous provision here, contrasting his typical appearances focused on authority and judgment throughout Luke's Gospel.
Peter's Confession and the First Passion Prediction
9:18–9:27 gospel dialogue solemn
Peter confesses Jesus as the Christ of God, followed by Jesus' first prediction of his suffering, death, and resurrection, and his teaching on the cost of discipleship.
person_contrast
Jesus uniquely combines "kingdom of God" language with suffering terminology here, creating the only Gospel passage where divine authority and sacrificial weakness explicitly merge in his self-revelation.
The Transfiguration
9:28–9:36 gospel narration triumphant
Jesus is transfigured on a mountain before Peter, James, and John, appearing in glory with Moses and Elijah while God's voice declares him as his beloved Son.
person_contrast
Moses and Elijah's appearance with Jesus creates the only New Testament scene where all three covenant mediators—Mosaic, prophetic, and messianic—converge in divine glory.
The Healing of a Boy with an Unclean Spirit
9:37–9:43 gospel narration triumphant
Jesus heals a boy possessed by an unclean spirit after his disciples failed to cast it out, demonstrating his divine power and authority over demons.
person_contrast
Jesus's frustrated exclamation "O faithless and perverse generation" uniquely targets both the crowd and his own disciples, making this the only healing where he rebukes his followers' inadequacy.
The Second Passion Prediction and Teachings on Discipleship
9:44–9:50 gospel instruction contemplative
Jesus gives his second passion prediction and teaches about true greatness through humility and service, using a child as an example.
person_contrast
While Jesus typically appears in contexts of authority and judgment throughout Luke's Gospel, here he uniquely combines themes of suffering and servanthood, using a child to redefine greatness just after predicting his own death.
The Journey to Jerusalem Begins
9:51–9:62 gospel dialogue urgent
Jesus begins his journey to Jerusalem and teaches about the radical commitment required for discipleship, emphasizing the priority of God's kingdom over earthly concerns.
person_contrast
Jesus's resolute journey toward Jerusalem transforms his typical authoritative teaching into urgent calls for radical sacrifice, marking a pivotal shift from kingdom proclamation to kingdom cost.
