1 And having called together His twelve disciples, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases,
Then he called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal;
2 and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to heal the ailing.
and sent them out to preach the kingdom of God, and 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. "Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, and do not have two tunics.
4 and into whatever house you may enter, remain there, and depart from there;
"Into whatever house you enter, there stay, and thence depart.
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.”
"If any one will not receive you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave this town, as a testimony against them."
6 And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.
So they went forth, and walked from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing 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, heard of all that was happening; and he was perplexed because of its being said by someone that Johnwas risen from the dead;
8 and by some that Elijah appeared, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;
and by some that Elijah had appeared; and by others that one of the ancient prophets was 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.
So Herod said, "I beheaded John, but who is this of whom I am hearing such reports," And he kept seeking 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,
On their return the apostles told him what they had done. and he took them and withdrew in private to a town called 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 when the crowd learned this they followed him. He received them kindly and spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed restored to good health.
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.”
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, “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”;
"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, “Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty”;
(For there were about five thousand men.) "Make them sit down in table-companies, of about fifty each," he said to his disciples.
15 and they did so, and made all to recline;
This they did, and made them all sit down.
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 fish, and looking up in heaven, he blessed them, broke them in pieces, and began to giving to his disciples to apportion among the crowd.
17 and they ate, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
So they ate and were filled, all of them. And there was picked up that which remained over to them, of broken pieces, twelve basketfuls.
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?”
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 And they answering said, “John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen”;
"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, “And you—who do you say 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.’
21 And having charged them, He commanded [them] to say this to no one,
Then he strictly forbade them to tell this to any one;
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.”
and he said, "The Son of man must suffer much, and be restricted by the elders and high priests and scribes and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again."
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;
And he said to all. "If any man wills to follow me, Let him renounce self and take up 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 whoever wills to save his life shall lose it; and whoever loses 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?
"For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose or forfeit 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 whoever is ashamed of me and of my teachings, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his own and in his Father’s glory, and in that 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 truly there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom 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 it happened that Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and went up on the 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.
And as he was praying the appearances of his countenance became different, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 And behold, two men were speaking together with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,
And suddenly there were two men talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah.
31 who having appeared in glory, spoke of His outgoing that He was about to fulfill in Jerusalem,
These appeared in glory and talked about his departure which he was about 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 who were with him were heavy with sleep; but when they were fully awake they saw his glory, and the two men were standing beside him.
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:
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 and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering 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 a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved; hear Him”;
And a voice came out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my chosen one; listen to 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.
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 next day, they having come down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him there,
It happened the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, that a large crowd came to meet 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 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 convulses him, with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, bruising 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 implored Your disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.”
"I begged your disciples to cast it out, but 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”;
"O faithless and perverse generation," said Jesus, "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son to me."
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.
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 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 awestruck at the mighty power of God. But while everyone was marveling at what he was doing, 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.”
"Let these words sink into your ears; for the son of man is about to be betrayed 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 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 there entered a reasoning among them, this—who may be greater of them.
Now there arose a dispute among them as to which one of them was the greatest.
47 And Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside 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, “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.”
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 a certain one casting forth the demons in Your Name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow 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, “Do not forbid, for he who is not against us, is for us.”
But Jesus said, "Forbid him not, for he who is not against you is for you."
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,
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 on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to 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 going on to Jerusalem.
But they did not receive him because his face was set to go 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?”
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 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,
56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save”; and they went on 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 are going on in the way, a certain one said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You may go, 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 sky places of rest, but the Son of Man has nowhere He may recline the 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”; and he said, “Lord, permit me, having gone away, to first bury my father”;
To another he said, "Follow me!" But he replied, "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.”
"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 You, Lord, but first permit me to take leave of those in 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 and Jesus said to him, “No one having put his hand on a plow, 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."
