3 And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey—neither staff, nor pack, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics.
And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs, nor satchel, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats each.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence go out.
5 As many as do not receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."
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.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
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:

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.
12 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place."
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.
13 But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people."
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:
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
for there were about five thousand men. Then said he to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties each in companies.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.

16 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

18 It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
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?
19 They answered, "'John the Baptist,' but others say, 'Elijah,' and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
And they answering said, John the Baptist; but some Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering said, The Messiah of God.
21 But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,
And strictly charging them, he commanded, that they should tell no man this:
22 saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up."
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.
23 He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
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.
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall preserve it.
25 For what does it profit a person if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
For what advantage hath a man in gaining all the would, if he destroy himself, or be punished with the loss of life?
26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
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.
27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God."
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.
28 It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

31 who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

32 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 who stood with him.
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.
33 It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.
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.
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
And as he was thus speaking, a cloud came and overshadowed them: and they were afraid as they were entering into the cloud.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him."

And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
38 And look, a man from the crowd called out, saying, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
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.
39 And look, a spirit seizes him, and all at once he cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
And, behold! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth out, and convulseth him, with foaming; and bruising him, with difficulty retires from him.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they could not."
And I besought thy disciples that they would cast him out, and they could not.
41 Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."
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.

43 They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
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,
44 "Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men."
Keep ye these sayings in your ears; for the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men.
45 But they did not understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
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.
46 There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
Then a dispute sprang up among them, which of them should be the greatest.
47 Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
But Jesus knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little boy, and set him by his side,
48 and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one is great."
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.
49 John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."
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.
50 Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against you is for you."
And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against us, is for us.
51 It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

53 But they did not receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
And they would not admit him, because his face was directed to Jerusalem.
54 When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and consume them?"
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?
55 And he turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not realize what kind of Spirit you belong to.
And turning to them, he reproved them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of:
56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy people's lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.
for the Son of man came not to destroy men’s lives, but to preserve them. And he proceeded to another village.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, "I want to follow you wherever you go."
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.

59 He said to another, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me first to return home, and put my father in his grave.
60 But Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the kingdom of God."
And Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but go thou, preach the kingdom of God.
61 Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house."
Then said another, I will follow thee, Lord, but give me leave first to bid adieu to those at my house.
62 But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
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.
