Luke 9 is the ninth chapter of the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It tells the records of several great miracles performed by Jesus, the story of his transfiguration, the sending of the twelve disciples, Peter's confession and the final departure from Galilee towards Jerusalem. Scottish minister William Robertson Nicoll describes this chapter as unfolding "sundry particulars which together form the closing scenes of the Galilean ministry". The book containing this chapter is anonymous, but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that Luke composed this Gospel as well as the Acts of the Apostles.
