1 Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
And calling the twelve, He gave to them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.
And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 And he said to them: “You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics.
And He said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor valise, nor bread, nor silver; nor to have two coats.
4 And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.
And into whatsoever house you may eaten there abide, and go out from thence.
5 And whoever will not have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as a testimony against them.”
And so many as may not receive you, going out from that city, knock off the dust of your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.
And going out, they continued to go through the villages, everywhere preaching the gospel, and healing.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said
And Herod the tetrarch heard all things which were wrought by Him; and was at a loss, because it was said by some, that John is risen from the dead;
8 by some, “For John has risen from the dead,” yet truly, by others, “For Elijah has appeared,” and by still others, “For one of the prophets from of old has risen again.”
and by some that Elijah has appeared; and by others that one of the old prophets is arisen.
9 And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.
And Herod said, I beheaded John: but who is this, concerning whom I hear these things? And he was seeking to see Him.
10 And when the Apostles returned, they explained to him all the things that they had done. And taking them with him, he withdrew to a deserted place apart, which belongs to Bethsaida.
And the apostles having returned, expounded unto Him how many things they did. And taking them He departed privately into a desert place, belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 But when the crowd had realized this, they followed him. And he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. And those who were in need of cures, he healed.
And the multitudes having found out, followed Him And receiving them, He spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those having need of healing.
12 Then the day began to decline. And drawing near, the twelve said to him: “Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the surrounding towns and villages, they may separate and find food. For we are here in a deserted place.”
And the day began to decline; and the twelve coming to Him, said, Send away the multitude, in order that having gone into the surrounding villages and countries, they may lodge, and find food: because we are here in a desert place.
13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “There is with us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we are to go and buy food for this entire multitude.”
And He said to them, You give them to eat. And they said, There is not to us more than five loaves and two fishes; if not having gone we must purchase victuals for all this people.
14 Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, “Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty.”
For the men were about five thousand. And He said to His disciples, Have them sit down in companies, about fifty.
15 And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.
And they did thus, and made all sit down.
16 Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he gazed up to heaven, and he blessed and broke and distributed them to his disciples, in order to set them before the crowd.
And taking the five loaves and two fishes, looking up to heaven, He blessed them; and He broke, and gave to the disciples to dispense to the multitude.
17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.
And they all ate and were filled: and that which remained to them of the fragments, were taken up, twelve baskets.
18 And it happened that, when he was praying alone, his disciples also were with him, and he questioned them, saying: “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
It came to pass, while He was praying alone, His disciples came to Him. And He asked them, saying, Whom do the multitudes say that I am?
19 But they answered by saying: “John the Baptist. But some say Elijah. Yet truly, others say that one of the prophets from before has risen again.”
They responding said, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen.
20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” In response, Simon Peter said, “The Christ of God.”
And He said to them, But whom do you say that I am? And Peter responding said, The Christ of God.
21 But speaking sharply to them, he instructed them not to tell this to anyone,
And having charged them, He commanded them to tell it to no one.
22 saying, “For the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the leaders of the priests and the scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again.”
Saying, That it behooved the Son of man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be killed, and to rise the third day.
23 Then he said to everyone: “If anyone is willing to come after me: let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day, and follow me.
And He spoke to all, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whoever will have saved his life, will lose it. Yet whoever will have lost his life for my sake, will save it.
For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it; and whosoever may lose his soul for my sake, he shall save it.
25 For how does it benefit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, yet lose himself, or cause himself harm?
For what is a man profited, gaining the whole world, and losing or forfeiting himself?
26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words: of him the Son of man will be ashamed, when he will have arrived in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy Angels.
For whosoever may be ashamed of me and my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when He may come in His glory, and that of the Father, and that of the holy angels.
27 And yet, I tell you a truth: There are some standing here who shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God.”
And truly I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the kingdom of God.
28 And it happened that, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended onto a mountain, so that he might pray.
And it came to pass after these discourses, about eight days, and taking Peter and John and James, He went up into the mountain to pray.
29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.

31 And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.
who being seen in glory, was speaking of His departure which He was about to perfect in Jerusalem.
32 Yet truly, Peter and those who were with him were weighed down by sleep. And becoming alert, they saw his majesty and the two men who were standing with him.
And Peter and those who were along with Him, were burdened with sleep. And having watched through the night, they saw His glory and the two men who were standing with him.
33 And it happened that, as these were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: “Teacher, it is good for us to be here. And so, let us make three tabernacles: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what he was saying.
It came to pass when they departed from Him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he says.
34 Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.
And he speaking these things there was a cloud, and it overshadowed them; and they were afraid while they were entering into the cloud.
35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
And there was a voice from the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear ye Him. And while the voice is heard, Jesus is found alone.
36 And while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.
And they were silent, and they told no one during those days any of those things which they had seen
37 But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
And it came to pass, on the following day, they having come down from the mountain, a multitude met Him.
38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you, look kindly on my son, for he is my only son.
And behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, Teacher, I pray thee look upon my son, because he is to me an only child:
39 And behold, a spirit takes hold of him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him down and convulses him, so that he foams. And though it tears him apart, it leaves him only with difficulty.
and behold, the spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; and he convulses him with foam, and scarcely departs from him, contorting him.
40 And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”
And I besought thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were not able.
41 And in response, Jesus said: “O unfaithful and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”
And Jesus responding said, O ye faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring your son hither.
42 And as he was approaching him, the demon threw him down and convulsed him.
And he yet coming, the demon dashed him down and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child, and gave him to his father.
43 And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father.
And all were astonished at the majesty of God. And all being astonished at all things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,
44 And all were astonished at the greatness of God. And as everyone was wondering over all that he was doing, he said to his disciples: “You must set these words in your hearts. For it shall be that the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.”
You place these words in your ears: for the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.
45 But they did not understand this word, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to question him about this word.
And they did not understand this word, and it was hidden from them, in order that they should not understand it: and they were afraid to ask Him concerning this word.
46 Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.
And a dispute came in among them, as to which one of them might be the greater.
47 But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside him.
And Jesus seeing the dispute of their heart, taking a little child, He placed it by Himself,
48 And he said to them: “Whoever will receive this child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. For whoever is the lesser among you all, the same is greater.”
and said to them, Whosoever may receive this little child in my name receives me; and whosoever may receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 And responding, John said: “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in your name. And we prohibited him, for he does not follow with us.”
And John responding said, Master, we saw one casting out the demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.
50 And Jesus said to him: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”
And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for whosoever is not against us is on our side.
51 Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
And it came to pass while the days of His taking up were being fulfilled, and He turned His face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And he sent messengers before his face. And going on, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
and He sent messengers before His face. And they going forward, entered into a city of the Samaritans, in order to prepare for Him;
53 And they would not receive him, because his face was going toward Jerusalem.
and they did not receive Him, because His face was going toward Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call for fire to descend from heaven and consume them?”
And the disciples James and John, seeing, said, Lord, do you wish that we may command fire to descend from heaven and consume them?
55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?
And He turning, rebuked them.
56 The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.
And they went into another village.
57 And it happened that, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him, “I will follow you, wherever you will go.”
And they going on the way, a certain one said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee wheresoever thou mayest go.
58 Jesus said to him: “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests. But the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.”
And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven nests; but the Son of man has not a place where He may recline His head.
59 Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
And He said to another, Follow thou me. And he said, Lord, permit me first having gone away to bury my father.
60 And Jesus said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead. But you go and announce the kingdom of God.”
And Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead; but thou having gone away proclaim the kingdom of God.
61 And another said: “I will follow you, Lord. But permit me first to explain this to those of my house.”
And another said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee; but first permit me to bid adieu to those at my own home.
62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow, and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
And Jesus said to him, No one putting his hand to the plow, and looking back, is worthy of the kingdom of God.
