Luke 9 Summary

Luke 9 records Jesus sending the Twelve, feeding 5,000, Peter's confession, the transfiguration, and the call to count the cost of following.

Jesus sends the Twelve to preach and heal. He feeds 5,000 from five loaves and two fish. At Caesarea Philippi Peter confesses him as «the Christ of God.» Days later he is transfigured on a mountain; Moses and Elijah talk with him; the Father says, «Listen to him.»

Coming down, Jesus heals a demonized boy and presses toward Jerusalem. He calls would-be followers to count the cost: no one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.
