He<n id="1" /> sent messengers on ahead of him.<n id="2" /> As they went along,<n id="3" /> they entered a Samaritan village to make things ready in advance<n id="4" /> for him,

Jesus<n id="1" /> sent Peter and John, saying, &#8220;Go and prepare the Passover<n id="2" /> for us to eat.&#8221;<n id="3" />

But<n id="1" /> he said to them, &#8220;Go<n id="2" /> and tell that fox,<n id="3" /> &#8216;Look, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day<n id="4" /> I will complete my work.<n id="5" />

When<n id="1" /> he saw them he said, &#8220;Go<n id="2" /> and show yourselves to the priests.&#8221;<n id="3" /> And<n id="4" /> as they went along, they were cleansed.

So<n id="1" /> he answered them,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Go tell<n id="3" /> John what you have seen and heard:<n id="4" /> The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the<n id="5" /> deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

Now the day began to draw to a close,<n id="1" /> so<n id="2" /> the twelve came and said to Jesus,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging<n id="4" /> and food, because we are in an isolated place.&#8221;<n id="5" />

But he said to them, &#8220;You<n id="1" /> give them something to eat.&#8221; They<n id="2" /> replied,<n id="3" /> &#8220;We have no more than five loaves and two fish &#8211; unless<n id="4" /> we go<n id="5" /> and buy food<n id="6" /> for all these people.&#8221;
