12 But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and [into] the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.
But now the day began to decline, and the twelve came to him and said. "Send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and surrounding the country to lodge and buy provisions; for here we are on a solitary place."
13 And he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we should go and buy food for all this people;
"Do you yourselves give them food," he answered. "We have nothing," they replied "Except five loaves, and a couple fish, unless you mean for us to go and buy provisions for all the crowd."
14 for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.

Now it happened that while he was praying by himself, the disciples were with him, and he asked them a question. "Who do the crowd think I am?"
19 But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.
"Johnthe Baptist," they answered, "But others say Elijah, and others that one of the ancient prophets is risen again."
20 And he said to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
Then he said to them, "But who do you say I am? Then Peter answered saying, "The Christ of God.’

28 And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray.

And when they were preparing to depart from him Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" - not knowing what he was saying.
34 But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:
And while he was saying this, there came a cloud and began to overshadow them; and they were awestruck as they entered into the cloud.
35 and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
And a voice came out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my chosen one; listen to him."
36 And as the voice was [heard] Jesus was found alone: and they kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
When the voice ceased Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no one at that time about what they had seen.
37 And it came to pass on the following day, when they came down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
It happened the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, that a large crowd came to meet him;
38 And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child:
and a man called out of the crowd saying. "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son; for he is my only boy,
39 and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it tears him with foaming, and with difficulty departs from him after crushing him.
"and behold a spirit seizes hold of him, and rudely he shouts out, It convulses him till he foams; indeed it will hardly leave off bruising him sorely.
40 And I besought thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not.
"I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."
41 And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.
"O faithless and perverse generation," said Jesus, "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son to me."
42 But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.
But while he was yet coming the demon dashed him down, and cruelly convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which [Jesus] did, he said to his disciples,
And they were all awestruck at the mighty power of God. But while everyone was marveling at what he was doing, he said to his disciples.
44 Do ye let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands.
"Let these words sink into your ears; for the son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.
But they did not understand this saying; it was hidden from them so that they perceived it not, and they were sore afraid to ask him about his saying.
46 And a reasoning came in amongst them, who should be [the] greatest of them.
Now there arose a dispute among them as to which one of them was the greatest.
47 And Jesus, seeing the reasoning of their heart, having taken a little child set it by him,
And Jesus who knew the dispute that was in their hearts, took a young child, and placed him by his side;
48 and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great.
then he said to them. "Whoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me; and whoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For it is the lowliest among you all who is great."
49 And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.
"Master," said John, "we saw a man who was casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."
50 And Jesus said to him, Forbid [him] not, for he that is not against you is for you.
But Jesus said, "Forbid him not, for he who is not against you is for you."
51 And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
When now when the time drew near for him to be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.
and sent messengers before him. These went and entered into a Samaritan village to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was [turned as] going to Jerusalem.
But they did not receive him because his face was set to go to Jerusalem.
54 And his disciples James and John seeing [it] said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak [that] fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?
And when his disciples, Jamesand John, saw this they said, "Lord, are you willing for us to bid fire come down from heaven and destroy them?" As Elijah did.
55 But turning he rebuked them [and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are].
But he turned and rebuked them and said,
56 And they went to another village.
"You know not what kind of spirit you share, for the Son of man came not to destroy men’s lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.
As they were going on their way, a man came to him and said, "I will follow wherever you go."
58 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.
"The foxes have their holes," Jesus answered, "and the wild birds have their nest, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head."
59 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me to go first and bury my father.
To another he said, "Follow me!" But he replied, "Permit me first to go and bury my father."
60 But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do thou go and announce the kingdom of God.
"Leave the dead to bury their own dead," said Jesus to him, "go you and announce, far and wide the kingdom of God."
61 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid adieu to those at my house.
And another man also said to him. "I will follow you, Lord; but first permit me to bid farewell to those who are in my house."
62 But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on [the] plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
But Jesus answered him, "No man who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
