Luke 9
1 And having called together His twelve disciples, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases,
Jesus, having convened the twelve, gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases;
2 and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to heal the ailing.
and sent them to proclaim the Reign of God, and to heal the sick.
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 to them, Provide nothing for your journey; nor staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor two coats apiece;
4 and into whatever house you may enter, remain there, and depart from there;
and continue in whatever house you are received into, till you leave the place.
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 wheresoever they will not receive you, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protestation against them.
6 And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.
They accordingly departed, and traveled through the villages, publishing the good tidings, and performing cures everywhere.
7 And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by Him, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John has been raised out of the dead,
Now Herod, the tetrarch, having heard of all that Jesus had done, was perplexed; because some said, John is risen from the dead;
8 and by some that Elijah appeared, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;
and some, Elijah has appeared; and others, One of the ancient prophets is risen again.
9 and Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?” And he was seeking to see Him.
And Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he was desirous to see him.
10 And the apostles having turned back, declared to Him how they did great things, and having taken them, He withdrew by Himself into a city called Bethsaida,
Now, the Apostles having returned, reported to Jesus all that they had done: and he, taking them with him, retired privately to a desert belonging to the city of Bethsaida.
11 and the multitudes having known followed Him, and having received them, He was speaking to them concerning the Kingdom of God, and He cured those having need of service.
But the multitude, having known it, followed him; and he, receiving them, spoke to them concerning the Reign of God; and he healed those who had need of healing.
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.”
When the day began to decline, the twelve, accosting him, said, Dismiss the people, that they may go to the nearest towns and villages, and provide themselves lodging and food; for we are in a desert.
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”;
He answered, Supply them yourselves with food. They replied, We have only five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy victuals 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”;
For they were about five thousand men. Then he said to his disciples, Make them recline in parties; fifty in a party.
15 and they did so, and made all to recline;
And they did so, making them all recline.
16 and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the sky, He blessed them, and broke, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude;
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to his disciples, to set before the multitudes.
17 and they ate, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
And they all did eat and were satisfied; and took up twelve baskets full of fragments.
18 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 I am?”
Afterward, Jesus having withdrawn from the multitude to pray, apart with his disciples, asked them, saying, Who do people say 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 answered, John the Immerser; others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the ancient 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 to them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered, The Messiah of God.
21 And having charged them, He commanded [them] to say this to no one,
Then, having strictly charged them, he prohibited them from telling this to any person;
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.”
adding, The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and rise again the third day.
23 And He said to all, “If anyone wills to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me;
Moreover, he said to all the people, If any man will come under my guidance, let him renounce himself, and take his cross daily, and follow me.
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 would save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
25 for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?
What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, with the forfeit or ruin of himself?
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 will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in that of the Father, 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.”
I assure you, that there are some standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the Reign of God.
28 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,
About eight days after this discourse, he took with him Peter, and John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
29 and it came to pass, in His praying, the appearance of His face became altered, and His clothing became flashing white.
While he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment contracted a dazzling whiteness.
30 And behold, two men were speaking together with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,
And, behold, two men of a glorious aspect, Moses and Elijah,
31 who having appeared in glory, spoke of His outgoing that He was about to fulfill in Jerusalem,
conversed with him, and spoke of the departure which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having awoken, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.
Now, Peter, and those that were with him, were overpowered with sleep; but when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with them.
33 And it came to pass, in their parting from Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three shelters: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he says:
As these were removing from Jesus, Peter said to him, not knowing what he said, Master, it is good for us to stay here; let us, then, make three booths, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
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 was speaking, a cloud came and covered them, and the disciples feared, when they entered the cloud.
35 and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved; hear Him”;
From the cloud a voice came, which said, This is my Son, the beloved; hear him.
36 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.
While the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept secret, telling no person, in those days, anything of what they had seen.
37 And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him there,
The next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met 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 one of the crowd cried out, saying, Rabbi, I beseech you, take pity on my son; for he is my 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 seizes him, making him instantly cry out, and fall into convulsions, so that he foams; and after he is much bruised, hardly leaves him.
40 and I implored Your disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.”
And I besought your disciples to expel the demon; but they were not able.
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”;
Then, Jesus answering, said, O incredulous and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring your 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 coming, the demon dashed him down in convulsions. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and having cured the child, delivered him to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, He said to His disciples,
And they were all amazed at the great power of God. While all were admiring everything which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 “Lay to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.”
Mark diligently these words, the Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men.
45 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.
But they understood not this language; it was vailed to them, that they might not apprehend it; and they were afraid to ask him concerning it.
46 And there entered a reasoning among them, this—who may be greater of them.
And there arose a debate among them, which of them should be the greatest.
47 And Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside Him,
But Jesus, who perceived the thought of their heart, took a child, and placing him near himself,
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.”
said to them, Whosoever shall receive this child for my sake, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives him who sent me: for he who is the least amongst you all, this person 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”;
Then John replied, Master, we saw one expelling demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he consorts not with us.
50 and Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, for he who is not against us, is for us.”
Jesus answered, Forbid not such; for whosoever is not against us, is for us.
51 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,
Now, as the time of his departure approached, he set out resolutely for Jerusalem,
52 and He sent messengers before His face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for Him,
and sent messengers before, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make preparation for him.
53 and they did not receive Him, because His face was going on to Jerusalem.
But they would not admit him; because they perceived he was going to Jerusalem.
54 And His disciples James and John having seen, said, “Lord, will You [that] we may command fire to come down from Heaven, and to consume them, as Elijah also did?”
His disciples, James and John, observing this, said, Master, shall we call down fire from heaven to consume them, as Elijah did?
55 And having turned, He rebuked them and said, “You have not known of what spirit you are,
But he turned and rebuked them, saying, Do you not know of what spirit you are?
56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save”; and they went on to another village.
And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You may go, Lord”;
As they were on the way, one said to him, Master, I will follow you whithersoever you go.
58 and Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky places of rest, but the Son of Man has nowhere He may recline the head.”
Jesus answered, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have places of shelter; but the Son of Man has not where to repose his head.
59 And He said to another, “Follow Me”; and he said, “Lord, permit me, having gone away, to first bury my father”;
He said to another, Follow me. He answered, Sir, permit me first to go and bury my father.
60 and Jesus said to him, “Permit the dead to bury their own dead, and you, having gone away, publish the Kingdom of God.”
Jesus replied, Let the dead bury their dead; but go you and publish the Reign of God.
61 And another also said, “I will follow You, Lord, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house”;
Another, likewise, said, I will follow you, Sir; but first permit me to take leave of my family.
62 and Jesus said to him, “No one having put his hand on a plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
Jesus answered, No man, having put his hand to the plow, looks behind him, is fit for the kingdom of God.
