3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
And He said to them, “Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor leather pouch, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;
4 And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.
and into whatever house you may enter, remain there, and depart from there;
5 And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
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.”
6 And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;

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.
12 And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
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.”
13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.
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”;
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.
for they were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, “Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty”;

18 And it came to pass, as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?
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?”
19 And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others [say], Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
And they answering said, “John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen”;
20 And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
and He said to them, “And you—who do you say I am?” And Peter answering said, “The Christ of God.”
21 But he charged them, and commanded [them] to tell this to no man;

for whoever may will to save his life will lose it, and whoever may lose his life for My sake, he will save it;
25 For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?
for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?
26 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 [the glory] of the Father, and of the holy angels.
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’;
27 But I tell you of a truth, There be some of them that stand here, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
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.”
28 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.
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 behold, two men were speaking together with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
who having appeared in glory, spoke of His outgoing that He was about to fulfill in Jerusalem,

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 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:
34 And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud,
35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.

And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him there,

and behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, because he is my only begotten;

40 And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not.
and I implored Your disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.”
41 And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.
And Jesus answering said, “O generation, unsteadfast and perverse, until when will I be with you, and endure you? Bring your son near here”;
42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil dashed him down, and tare [him] grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
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.
43 And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,
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,
44 Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.
“Lay to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.”
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it: and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
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.
46 And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
And there entered a reasoning among them, this—who may be greater of them.
47 But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,
And Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside Him,
48 and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.
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.”
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.
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”;
50 But Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not against you is for you.
and Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, for he who is not against us, is for us.”
51 And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

52 and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
and He sent messengers before His face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for Him,
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was [as though he were] going to Jerusalem.
and they did not receive Him, because His face was going on to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
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?”
55 But he turned, and rebuked them.
And having turned, He rebuked them and said, “You have not known of what spirit you are,
56 And they went to another village.
for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save”; and they went on to another village.
57 And as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
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”;
58 And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
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.”
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
And He said to another, “Follow Me”; and he said, “Lord, permit me, having gone away, to first bury my father”;
60 But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.
and Jesus said to him, “Permit the dead to bury their own dead, and you, having gone away, publish the Kingdom of God.”
61 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.
And another also said, “I will follow You, Lord, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house”;
62 But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
and Jesus said to him, “No one having put his hand on a plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
