Luke 9
1 And having summoned the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases.
And Jesus called his twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons and diseases, to heal them.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal those who were incapacitated.
And he sent them forth, to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staffs, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor have two coats each.
And he said to them: Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics.
4 And into whatever house ye may enter, remain there, and from there depart.
And into whatever house ye enter, there stay, and thence depart.
5 And as many as will not receive you, when departing from that city, also shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
And against them that receive you not, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet against them, for a testimony.
6 And having departed, they passed through the villages, preaching the good news, and healing everywhere.
And the Legates went forth, and travelled about the villages and cities, and preached and healed everywhere.
7 But Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him. And he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead,
And Herod the Tetrarch heard of all the things done by him, and he was disturbed; because some said, that John had arisen from the dead.
8 and by some that Elijah appeared, and by others that a prophet, one of the ancient men arose.
But others said, that Elijah hath appeared; and others, that a prophet from among the ancient prophets hath arisen.
9 And Herod said, I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
And Herod said: The head of John, I have cut off; but who is this, of whom I hear these things? And he was desirous to see him.
10 And when the apostles returned, they related to him as many things as they did. And having taken them along, he withdrew in private into a desolate place of a city called Bethsaida.
And when the Legates returned, they narrated, to Jesus all they had done. And he took them aside, to the desert part of Bethsaida.
11 But the multitudes having known, they followed him. And having received them, he spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who had need of healing.
And when the multitude knew it, they followed him: and he received them, and conversed with them respecting the kingdom of God: and such as had need of healing, he healed.
12 And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, they said to him, Send the multitude away, so that, after going into the villages and fields around, they may rest and find provision, because we are here in a desolate place.
And when the day began to decline, his disciples came near, and said to him: Send away the multitude, that they may go to the villages around us and to the towns, to lodge in them, and to procure themselves food, for we are in a desert place.
13 But he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, There are for us not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless, after going, we might buy food for all this people.
Jesus said to then: Give ye them to eat. And they say: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy food for all this people:
14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in groups of fifty each.
for they were about five thousand men. Jesus said to them: Make them recline by companies, fifty persons in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
And the disciples did so, and made them all recline.
16 And after taking the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke in pieces, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
And Jesus took the five loaves and two fishes, and looked towards heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before the multitudes.
17 And they ate, and were all filled. And there were taken up to them of the remaining fragments, twelve baskets.
And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the fragments of remains, twelve baskets.
18 And it came to pass, as he was praying privately, the disciples were with him. And he questioned them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?
And as he was praying in private with his disciples, he asked them, and said: Who, do the multitudes say of me, that I am?
19 And having answered, they said, John the immerser, but others, Elijah, and others, that a certain prophet of the ancient men arose.
They answer and say to him: John the Baptizer; others, Elijah and others, a prophet, one of the ancient prophets arisen.
20 And he said to them, But ye, who say ye that I am? And having answered, Peter said, The Christ of God.
He said to them: But who, do ye say, that I am? Simon answered, and said: The Messiah of God.
21 But having chided them, he commanded to tell this to no man,
And he chided them, and charged them, that they should say this to no one.
22 saying, It is necessary for the Son of man to suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scholars, and be killed, and the third day to rise.
And he said to them: The Son of man is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the Elders and the chief priests and Scribes; and they will kill him; and on the third day, he will arise.
23 And he said to all, If any man wants to come behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
And he said before all the people: He that would follow me, must deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and so come after me.
24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever may lose his life because of me, this man will save it.
For he that will preserve his life, shall lose it; but he that shall lose his life, for my sake, will preserve it.
25 For what is a man benefited, having gained the whole world, but having lost or having forfeited himself?
For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life or be deprived of it?
26 For whoever may be ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of this man when he comes in his glory, and of the Father, and of the holy agents.
And whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels.
27 But I tell you truly, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
I tell you the truth, that there are some standing here, who will not taste death, until they shall see the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that after taking Peter and John and James, he went up onto the mountain to pray.
And it was about eight days after these discourses, that Jesus took Simon and James and John, and went up a mountain to pray.
29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face became different, and his clothing glistening white.
And while he prayed, the aspect of his countenance was changed, and his garments became white and brilliant.
30 And behold, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
And lo, two men were talking with him: and they were Moses and Elijah,
31 who, having appeared in glory, spoke of his departure, which he was going to fulfill at Jerusalem.
who appeared in glory. And they were conversing on his departure, which was to be consummated at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and those with him were weighed down with sleep, and having become awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
And Simon and those with him were oppressed with drowsiness; and being scarcely awake, they saw his glory, and those two men who stood near him.
33 And it came to pass, as they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, and we could make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah, not knowing what he was saying.
And when they began t to retire from him, Simon said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is delightful for us to be here. And let us make here three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. But he knew not what he said.
34 And while he was speaking these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
And as he thus spoke, there was a cloud; and it overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they saw Moses and Elijah go up into the cloud.
35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son. Hear ye him.
And there was a voice from the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son; hear ye him.
36 And at the occurrence of the voice, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and informed no man in those days any of the things that they have seen.
And when the voice had passed, Jesus was found to be alone. And they kept silence, and told no one in those days what they had seen.
37 And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
And the next day, as they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met them.
38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son, because he is the only begotten to me.
And a man from the throng cried out, and said: Teacher, I beseech thee, turn thyself to me. Here is my only son:
39 And lo, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him with foaming. And it departs from him difficultly, injuring him.
and a spirit cometh upon him, and he suddenly crieth out, and gnasheth his teeth, and foameth; and he hardly leaveth him, when he hath crushed him.
40 And I begged thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they could not.
And I requested thy disciples to expel him; and they could not.
41 And having answered, Jesus said, O faithless and perverted generation, how long will I be with you and endure you? Bring thy son here.
And Jesus answered, and said: O the unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring hither thy son.
42 And as he was still coming, the demon tore him, and he convulsed. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
And while he was bringing him, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the lad, and delivered him to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while all were wondering at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. And while every one admired at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples:
44 Place ye these sayings into your ears, for the Son of man is going to be delivered up into the hands of men.
Lay up these words in your minds: for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men.
45 But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
But they understood not that speech; because it was hidden from them, that they should not know it: and they feared to ask him concerning that speech.
46 But a thought entered among them, which of them may be greater.
And the thought arose among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
47 But having perceived the thought of their heart, having taken a child, Jesus stood it beside him,
And Jesus knew the thought of their heart: and he took a child, and placed him near to him;
48 and he said to them, Whoever may receive this child in my name receives me, and whoever may receive me receives him who sent me, for he who exists smaller among you all, this man will be great.
and said to them: Whoever receiveth a child like this, in my name, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that shall be least among you all, he will be the great one.
49 And having answered, John said, Master, we saw a certain man casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.
And John answered, and said: Our Rabbi, we saw a man casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he doth not, with us, follow thee.
50 But Jesus said to him, Do not forbid, for he who is not against us is for us.
Jesus said to them: Forbid not: for, whoever is not against you, is for you.
51 And it came to pass, while fulfilling the days for his ascension, that he also set his face to go to Jerusalem.

52 And he sent agents before his face, and they went. And having gone, they entered into a village of Samaritans, so as to make ready for him.
And he sent messengers before his face; and they went, and entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare lodgings for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was going to Jerusalem.
And they received him not, because he had set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
54 And his disciples James and John having seen, they said, Lord, do thou want that we should call fire to come down from the sky, and consume them, as also Elijah did?
And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said to him: Our Lord, wilt thou that we speak, and fire come down from heaven, and consume them, as also did Elijah?
55 But having turned around, he rebuked them, and said, Ye do not know what kind of spirit ye are.
And he turned and rebuked them, and said: Ye know not of what spirit ye are.
56 For the Son of man came not to destroy the lives of men, but to save. And they went to another village.
For the Son of man hath not come to destroy souls; but to quicken them. And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass while they went on the way, a certain man said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou may go, Lord.
And as they went by the way, one said to him: I will follow thee to whatever place thou goest, my Lord.
58 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky, nests, but the Son of man has not where he might lay his head.

59 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me first, after departing, to bury my father.
And he said to another: Come thou after me. And he said to him: My Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
60 But Jesus said to him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but thou, after departing, proclaim the kingdom of God.
And Jesus said to him: Allow the dead to bury their dead; and go thou and proclaim the kingdom of God.
61 And also another said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those in my house.
Another said to him: I will follow thee, my Lord; but allow me first to bid adieu to my household, and I will come.
62 But Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to a plow, and looking to things behind, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the ox-plough, and looking backward, is fit for the kingdom of God.
