3 And He said to them, “Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor leather pouch, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;
And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 and into whatever house you may enter, remain there, and depart from there;

5 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.”
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

12 And the day began to decline, and the Twelve having come near, said to Him, “Let away the multitude, that having gone into the surrounding villages and the fields, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desolate place.”
And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 And He said to them, “You give them to eat”; and they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy food for all this people”;
But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 for they were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, “Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty”;

And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 And they answering said, “John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen”;
They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elias; and others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 and He said to them, “And you—who do you say I am?” And Peter answering said, “The Christ of God.”
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And having charged them, He commanded [them] to say this to no one,
And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing;
22 saying, “It is necessary for 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 be raised the third day.”

24 for whoever may will to save his life will lose it, and whoever may lose his life for My sake, he will save it;
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whoever may be ashamed of Me and of My words, of this one will the Son of Man be ashamed when He may come in His glory, and the Father’s, and the holy messengers’;
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father’s, and of the holy angels.
27 and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those standing here who will not taste of death until they may see the Kingdom of God.”
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

31 who having appeared in glory, spoke of His outgoing that He was about to fulfill in Jerusalem,

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto 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 Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud,
While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved; hear Him”;

38 and behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, because he is my only begotten;
And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39 and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it convulses him, with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him,
And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40 and I implored Your disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.”
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, “O generation, unsteadfast and perverse, until when will I be with you, and endure you? Bring your son near here”;
And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 and as he is yet coming near, the demon threw him down, and convulsed [him], and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.
And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

44 “Lay to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.”

46 And there entered a reasoning among them, this—who may be greater of them.
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside Him,

48 and 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 is least among you all—he will be great.”
And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 And John answering said, “Master, we saw a certain one casting forth the 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 devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50 and Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, for he who is not against us, is for us.”

55 And having turned, He rebuked them and said, “You have not known of what spirit you are,
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save”; and they went on to another village.
