Luke 9
1 And having called together His twelve disciples, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases,
And Jesus called his twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons and diseases, to heal them.
2 and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to heal the ailing.
And he sent them forth, to proclaim the kingdom 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: Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics.
4 and into whatever house you may enter, remain there, and depart from there;
And into whatever house ye 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.”
And against them that receive you not, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet against them, for a testimony.
6 And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.
And the Legates went forth, and travelled about the villages and cities, and preached and healed 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,
And Herod the Tetrarch heard of all the things done by him, and he was disturbed; because some said, that John had arisen from the dead.
8 and by some that Elijah appeared, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;
But others said, that Elijah hath appeared; and others, that a prophet from among the ancient prophets hath arisen.
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: The head of John, I have cut off; but who is this, of whom I hear these 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,
And when the Legates returned, they narrated, to Jesus all they had done. And he took them aside, to the desert part 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.
And when the multitude knew it, they followed him: and he received them, and conversed with them respecting the kingdom of God: and such as had need of healing, he healed.
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 decline, his disciples came near, and said to him: Send away the multitude, that they may go to the villages around us and to the towns, to lodge in them, and to procure themselves food, for we are 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”;
Jesus said to then: Give ye them to eat. And they say: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy food 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. Jesus said to them: Make them recline by companies, fifty persons in a company.
15 and they did so, and made all to recline;
And the disciples did so, and made 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;
And Jesus took the five loaves and two fishes, and looked towards heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave 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 ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the fragments of remains, twelve baskets.
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?”
And as he was praying in private with his disciples, he asked them, and said: Who, do the multitudes say of me, 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 answer and say to him: John the Baptizer; others, Elijah and others, a prophet, one of the ancient prophets arisen.
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 ye say, that I am? Simon answered, and said: The Messiah of God.
21 And having charged them, He commanded [them] to say this to no one,
And he chided them, and charged them, that they should say this to no 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 to them: The Son of man is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the Elders and the chief priests and Scribes; and they will kill him; and on the third day, he will arise.
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 before all the people: He that would follow me, must deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and so come after 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 he that will preserve his life, shall lose it; but he that shall lose his life, for my sake, will preserve it.
25 for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?
For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life or be deprived of it?
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’;
And whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with his 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 tell you the truth, that there are some standing here, who will not taste death, until they shall 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,
And it was about eight days after these discourses, that Jesus took Simon and James and John, and went up 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.
And while he prayed, the aspect of his countenance was changed, and his garments became white and brilliant.
30 And behold, two men were speaking together with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,
And lo, two men were talking with him: and they were Moses and Elijah,
31 who having appeared in glory, spoke of His outgoing that He was about to fulfill in Jerusalem,
who appeared in glory. And they were conversing on his departure, which was to be consummated 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.
And Simon and those with him were oppressed with drowsiness; and being scarcely awake, they saw his glory, and those two men who stood near 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 began t to retire from him, Simon said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is delightful for us to be here. And let us make here three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. But he knew not 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,
And as he thus spoke, there was a cloud; and it overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they saw Moses and Elijah go up into the cloud.
35 and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved; hear Him”;
And there was a voice from the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son; hear ye 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.
And when the voice had passed, Jesus was found to be alone. And they kept silence, and told no one in those days 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,
And the next day, as they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met them.
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 from the throng cried out, and said: Teacher, I beseech thee, turn thyself to me. Here is my only son:
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 a spirit cometh upon him, and he suddenly crieth out, and gnasheth his teeth, and foameth; and he hardly leaveth him, when he hath crushed him.
40 and I implored Your disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.”
And I requested thy disciples to expel him; 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 answered, and said: O the unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring hither thy son.
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 while he was bringing him, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the lad, and 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 majesty of God. And while every one admired at all that 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.”
Lay up these words in your minds: for 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 that speech; because it was hidden from them, that they should not know it: and they feared to ask him concerning that speech.
46 And there entered a reasoning among them, this—who may be greater of them.
And the thought arose among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
47 And Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside Him,
And Jesus knew the thought of their heart: and he took a child, and placed him near to 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 to them: Whoever receiveth a child like this, in my name, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that shall be least among you all, he will be the great one.
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: Our Rabbi, we saw a man casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he doth not, with us, follow thee.
50 and Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, for he who is not against us, is for us.”
Jesus said to them: Forbid not: for, whoever 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,
And when the days for his ascension were completed, so it was, that he set his face to go up 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 he sent messengers before his face; and they went, and entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare lodgings for him.
53 and they did not receive Him, because His face was going on to Jerusalem.
And they received him not, because he had set his face to go up 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 James and John saw it, they said to him: Our Lord, wilt thou that we speak, and fire come down from heaven, and consume them, as also did Elijah?
55 And having turned, He rebuked them and said, “You have not known of what spirit you are,
And he turned and rebuked them, and said: Ye know not of what spirit ye 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.
For the Son of man hath not come to destroy souls; but to quicken 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”;
And as they went by the way, one said to him: I will follow thee to whatever place thou goest, my Lord.
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 said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have coverts; but the Son of man hath not where he may 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”;
And he said to another: Come thou after me. And he said to him: My Lord, 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.”
And Jesus said to him: Allow the dead to bury their dead; and go thou and proclaim 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”;
Another said to him: I will follow thee, my Lord; but allow me first to bid adieu to my household, and I will come.
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 said to him: No man putting his hand to the ox-plough, and looking backward, is fit for the kingdom of God.
