Luke 9
1 He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all 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 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
And he sent them forth, to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey— neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.
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 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
And into whatever house ye enter, there stay, and thence depart.
5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet 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 They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.
And the Legates went forth, and travelled about the villages and cities, and preached and healed everywhere.
7 Now Herod [Heroic] the tetrarch (one of four co-emperors) heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John [Yah is gracious] had risen from 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 [My God Yah] had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
But others said, that Elijah hath appeared; and others, that a prophet from among the ancient prophets hath arisen.
9 Herod [Heroic] said, “John [Yah is gracious] I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought 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 The apostles, when they had teshuvah ·completely returned·, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of 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 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
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 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted 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 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.”
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. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
for they were about five thousand men. Jesus said to them: Make them recline by companies, fifty persons in a company.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
And the disciples did so, and made them all recline.
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 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 They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the fragments of remains, twelve baskets.
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that 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 They answered, “‘John [Yah is gracious] the Immerser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah [My God Yah],’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”
They answer and say to him: John the Baptizer; others, Elijah and others, a prophet, one of the ancient prophets arisen.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter [Rock] answered, “The Messiah [Anointed one] of God.”
He said to them: But who, do ye say, that I am? Simon answered, and said: The Messiah of God.
21 But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,
And he chided them, and charged them, that they should say this to no one.
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and Torah-Teachers, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
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 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his execution-stake, 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 desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same 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 does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
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 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 Abba Father, and of the holy angels.
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 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 God’s Kingdom.”
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 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter [Rock], John [Yah is gracious], and James [Surplanter], and went up onto 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 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
And while he prayed, the aspect of his countenance was changed, and his garments became white and brilliant.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses [Drawn out] and Elijah [My God Yah],
And lo, two men were talking with him: and they were Moses and Elijah,
31 who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem [City of peace].
who appeared in glory. And they were conversing on his departure, which was to be consummated at Jerusalem.
32 Now Peter [Rock] 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.
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 As they were parting from him, Peter [Rock] said to Yeshua [Salvation], “Rabbi ·Teacher·, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses [Drawn out], and one for Elijah [My God Yah],” not knowing what he said.
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 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered 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 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
And there was a voice from the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son; hear ye him.
36 When the voice came, Yeshua [Salvation] was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had 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 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
And the next day, as they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met them.
38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
And a man from the throng cried out, and said: Teacher, I beseech thee, turn thyself to me. Here is my only son:
39 Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
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 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
And I requested thy disciples to expel him; and they could not.
41 Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son 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 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Yeshua [Salvation] rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, 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 They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Yeshua [Salvation] 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 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will 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 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should 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 There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
And the thought arose among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
47 Yeshua [Salvation], perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
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 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 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 John [Yah is gracious] answered, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, we saw someone casting out 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 Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Don’t forbid him, 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 It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem [City of peace],
And when the days for his ascension were completed, so it was, that he set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans [people from Watch-mountain], so as to prepare 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 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem [City of peace].
And they received him not, because he had set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
54 When his disciples, James [Surplanter] and John [Yah is gracious], saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah [My God Yah] 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 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of 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 didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went 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 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you 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 Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his 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 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and 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 But Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
And Jesus said to him: Allow the dead to bury their dead; and go thou and proclaim the kingdom of God.
61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at 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 But Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the ox-plough, and looking backward, is fit for the kingdom of God.
