Luke 9
1 Then He called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases;
And He called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases:
2 and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
and He sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And He said to them: “Take nothing for the journey—neither staffs nor knapsack nor bread nor money, neither have two tunics apiece.
And He said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor two coats a piece.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
And into whatever house ye enter, continue there, till ye leave that place.
5 But as many as do not receive you, when you depart from that town, shake off even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye depart from that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.
6 So they set out and went around, village by village, evangelizing and healing everywhere.
And they went from town to town, preaching the gospel and healing every where.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done by Him; and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead;
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.
and by some that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.
9 But Herod said, “John I beheaded; so who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he started trying to see Him.
And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? and he wanted to see Him.
10 When the Apostles returned they reported to Him all that they had done. Then He took them and withdrew privately to a deserted place belonging to a town called Bethsaida.
And the apostles; when they were returned, told Him all that they had done: and He took them and retired privately into a desert place belonging to the city Bethsaida.
11 But the crowds, being aware, followed Him. So He received them and started speaking to them about the Kingdom of God, and He cured those who needed healing.
But when the people knew it they followed Him; and He received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those that had need of a cure.
12 Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve approached and said to Him, “Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go to the surrounding villages and their farms, lodge and find food; because we are in a deserted place here.”
And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the people, that they may go into the villages and country-places round about, and bait, and get food: for here we are in a desert place.
13 But He said to them, “You feed them!” So they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd”
But He said unto them, Do ye give them food. And they said, We have but five loaves and two fishes: unless we should go and buy provisions for all this people:
14 (there were about five thousand men). But He said to His disciples, “Make them recline in groups of fifty!”
for they were about five thousand men. And He said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifty.
15 They did so, making them all recline.
And they did so, and caused them all to sit down.
16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
And He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven He blessed them; and brake and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the pieces they left were taken up.
And they did eat, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up what remained even of fragments twelve baskets.
18 Now it happened, as He was alone praying, that the disciples joined Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
And it came to pass, as He was praying in private, his disciples were with Him: and He asked them saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 In answer they said, “John the Baptizer, but others say ‘Elijah,’ while others that one of the ancient prophets has arisen.”
They answering said, John the baptist: but others say Elias: and others, that some ancient prophet is risen again.
20 Then He said to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” In answer Peter said, “The Christ of God!”
And He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answered and said, The Christ the Son of God.
21 But He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,
But He strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 saying, “The Son of the Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
saying, the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be put to death, and be raised again the third day.
23 Then He said to everyone: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me.
And He said unto them all, if any one is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me:
24 Because whoever desires to ‘save’ his life will waste it, but whoever ‘wastes’ his life for my sake, he will save it.
for he that would save his life shall lose it, but he that would lose his life for my sake shall save it.
25 Further, what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, yet wastes or forfeits his very self?
For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be destroyed?
26 Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of the Man will be ashamed of Him, whenever He comes in the glory—His, and the Father's, and of the holy angels.
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He comes in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27 However, I tell you truly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God!”
And I assure you, there be some of those who stand here, that shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.
28 Now about eight days after these words, it happened that He took along Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
About eight days after these discourses, He took Peter, and John, and James, and went up to a mountain to pray.
29 And as He prayed, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing dazzling white.
And as He was praying the form of his countenance was altered, and his raiment white and glistering:
30 And then, two men started talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah;
and behold two men talked with Him, which were Moses and Elias;
31 they appeared in glory and were explaining His ‘departure’, that He was about to bring to fruition in Jerusalem.
who appeared in glory, and spake of his exit, which He was to make at Jerusalem.
32 Now Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; but becoming fully awake, they saw His glory, and the two men who stood with Him.
Now Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep; but being awakened they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with Him.
33 Then it happened: as they were parting from Him, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here” and “Should we make three shelters: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah?”—not knowing what he was saying.
And as they were departing from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 But as he was saying this a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they became afraid as they entered the cloud.
And as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they went up into the cloud and disappeared.
35 And a Voice came out of the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him!”
And there came a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him.
36 When the Voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. (They kept quiet and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.)
And when the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it to themselves, and told no one at that time any of the things which they had seen.
37 Now it happened on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that a large crowd met Him.
And the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him:
38 And then, a man from the crowd called out, saying: “Teacher, I beg you, look upon my son, for he is my only begotten.
and one of the people cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is my only child;
39 And oh, a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams, and it convulses him with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, destroying him!
and lo, a spirit seizeth him, and all on a sudden he screameth, and it convulses him with foaming; and bruising him, with much ado departs from him.
40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
And I prayed thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
41 Then in answer Jesus said: “O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you (pl)? Bring your (sg) son here!”
Then Jesus answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring thy son hither.
42 But while he was still coming the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.
And as he was coming along, the devil bruised and convulsed him: but Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.
43 Everyone was amazed at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God: but while they were all wondering at the things which Jesus did, He said to his disciples,
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, because the Son of the Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
Receive these words into your ears; for the Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.
45 But they did not understand this saying; indeed it was concealed from them, in order that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not, and they were afraid to ask Him concerning it.
46 Then an argument started among them as to which of them would be the greatest.
Then a dispute rose among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 So Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart, took a little child and had him stand beside Him,
And Jesus knowing the thought of their heart, took a child and set him by Him, and said unto them,
48 and said to them: “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me. Further, he who is least among all of you, he will be great.”
Whosoever shall receive this little child for my sake, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me. For he that is lest among you all, shall be great.
49 Then John reacted by saying, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he followeth not thee with us.
50 So Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, because he who is not against us is for us.”
And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not; for he, that is not against us, is for us.
51 Now it happened, as the days for His Ascension approached, that He set His face to go to Jerusalem,
And it came to pass, as the days were almost fulfilled of his being received up again into heaven, that He set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 and He sent messengers ahead of Him. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for Him.
and sent messengers before Him: who went into a village of the Samaritans to get a place ready for Him.
53 But they did not receive Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
But they would not entertain Him, because his face was towards Jerusalem.
54 Well, when His disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and consume them, just like Elijah did?”
And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did?
55 But He turned and rebuked them saying: “You do not know of what sort of spirit you are.
But He turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of:
56 Further, the Son of the Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save.” And they went to another village.
for the Son of man came not to destroy mens lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57 Now as they journeyed on the road, it happened that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow you wherever you go.”
And as they were going by the way, there was one said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest:
58 So Jesus said to him, “The foxes have dens and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of the Man has no place to lay His head.”
and Jesus answered him, The foxes have holes, and the fowls of heaven their nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay 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 me: but he said, Lord, permit me to go first and bury my father:
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.”
but Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house.”
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee, but allow me first to go and take my leave of my family.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to ‘the plow’ and looks back is suitable for the Kingdom of God.”
But Jesus said unto him, No one, that hath put his hand to the plough and looketh back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
