Luke 9
1 THEN calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure sicknesses,
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
and he sent them to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal the ailing.
3 And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs, nor satchel, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats each.
And he said unto them, 'Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;
4 And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence go out.
and into whatever house ye may enter, there remain, and thence depart;
5 And whosoever shall not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.
and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.'
6 And they went forth, and passed through the villages, preaching the gospel, and performing cures everywhere.
And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.
7 Then Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in much distraction of mind, because it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead:
And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by him, and was perplexed, because it was said by certain, that John hath been raised out of the dead;
8 and of some that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.
and by certain, that Elijah did appear, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;
9 And Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
and Herod said, 'John I did behead, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?' and he was seeking to see him.
10 And when the apostles returned, they told him what they had done. And taking them, he withdrew privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
And the apostles having turned back, declared to him how great things they did, and having taken them, he withdrew by himself to a desert place of a city called Bethsaida,
11 But when the multitudes knew it, they followed him and receiving them, he spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of a cure.
and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured.
12 Now the day began to decline: and the twelve coming to him, said, Dismiss the multitude, that going away into the villages and farms round about, they may lodge and find provision; for here we are in a desert place.
And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, said to him, 'Let away the multitude, that having gone to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desert place.'
13 Then he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes; unless we go somewhere and buy provisions for all this multitude:
And he said unto them, 'Give ye them to eat;' and they said, 'We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;'
14 for there were about five thousand men. Then said he to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties each in companies.
for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, 'Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty;'
15 And they did so: and they made them all sit down.
and they did so, and made all to recline;
16 And taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude;
17 And they did all eat, and were filled; and there were taken up of the fragments which were more than enough for them, twelve baskets.
and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
18 And it came to pass, as he had been praying in retirement, his disciples were with him, and he asked them, Who do the multitudes say that I am?
And it came to pass, as he is praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he questioned them, saying, 'Who do the multitudes say me to be?'
19 And they answering said, John the Baptist; but some Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
And they answering said, 'John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;'
20 And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering said, The Messiah of God.
and he said to them, 'And ye — who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering said, 'The Christ of God.'
21 And strictly charging them, he commanded, that they should tell no man this:
And having charged them, he commanded [them] to say this to no one,
22 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 on the third day rise again.
saying — 'It behoveth 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 the third day to be raised.'
23 And he said unto them, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
And he said unto all, 'If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me;
24 For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall preserve it.
for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall save it;
25 For what advantage hath a man in gaining all the would, if he destroy himself, or be punished with the loss of life?
for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and his father’s, and of the holy angels.
'For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father's, and the holy messengers';
27 And I tell you of a certainty, there are some of those who stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.
and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign of God.'
28 And it was about eight days after these discourses, that taking Peter, and John, and James, he went up into a mountain to pray.
And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray,
29 And it came to pass, as he was at prayer, that the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment white and refulgent.
and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white — sparkling.
30 And, lo! two men conversed with him, who were Moses and Elias:
And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 who appeared in glory, and mentioned his departure, which he was ready to accomplish at Jerusalem.
who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem,
32 But Peter and they who were with him were weighed down with sleep: but when they awoke, they beheld his glory, and the two men who were standing with them.
but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they were departing from him, Peter said unto Jesus, it is well that we are here, and we will make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said.
And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, 'Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith:
34 And as he was thus speaking, a cloud came and overshadowed them: and they were afraid as they were entering into the cloud.
and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud,
35 And a voice came 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 — the Beloved; hear ye him;'
36 And when the voice ceased, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days a word of the things which they had seen.
and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have seen.
37 And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mount, there met him a great multitude,
38 And, behold, a man from among the multitude cried out aloud, saying, Master, I pray thee, look upon my son; for he is my only begotten.
and lo, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, 'Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only begotten;
39 And, behold! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth out, and convulseth him, with foaming; and bruising him, with difficulty retires from him.
and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him,
40 And I besought thy disciples that they would cast him out, and they could not.
and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.'
41 Then Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you? bring hither thy son.
And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;'
42 And while he was yet approaching the devil threw him down, and violently convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the child; and restored him to his father.
and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore [him] sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.
43 And they were all struck with amazement at the mighty power of God. And while they were all wondering at the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Keep ye these sayings in your ears; for the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men.
'Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.'
45 And they understood not that declaration, and it was hid from them, that they should not comprehend its meaning: and they were afraid to ask him concerning that saying.
And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Then a dispute sprang up among them, which of them should be the greatest.
And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them?
47 But Jesus knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little boy, and set him by his side,
and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself,
48 and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me: for he who is the least among you all, he shall be great.
and said to them, 'Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all — he shall be great.'
49 Then John addressing him said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him, because he followed not with us.
And John answering said, 'Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;'
50 And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against us, is for us.
and Jesus said unto him, 'Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'
51 And it came to pass, as the days hastened to their period when he should be received up to glory, that he resolutely set his face to go to Jerusalem;
And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem,
52 and sent messengers before his face; and they advancing entered into a Samaritan village, to make preparation for him.
and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him,
53 And they would not admit him, because his face was directed to Jerusalem.
and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.
54 And when the disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them, just as Elias did?
And his disciples James and John having seen, said, 'Sir, wilt thou [that] we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?'
55 And turning to them, he reproved them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of:
and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, 'Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;
56 for the Son of man came not to destroy men’s lives, but to preserve them. And he proceeded to another village.
for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.
57 And it came to pass, as they were walking on the road, a certain person said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, 'I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;'
58 And Jesus Said to him, The foxes have holts, and the birds of the air, nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
and Jesus said to him, 'The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.'
59 And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me first to return home, and put my father in his grave.
And he said unto another, 'Be following me;' and he said, 'Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;'
60 And Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but go thou, preach the kingdom of God.
and Jesus said to him, 'Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.'
61 Then said another, I will follow thee, Lord, but give me leave first to bid adieu to those at my house.
And another also said, 'I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;'
62 But Jesus said unto him, No man laying his hand on the plough, and looking to the things left behind, is fit for the kingdom of God.
and Jesus said unto him, 'No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'
