Luke 9
1 And, calling together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to be curing, diseases;
And having called together His twelve disciples, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases,
2 and sent them forth, to be proclaiming the kingdom of God, and to be healing;
and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to heal the ailing.
3 and said unto them—Nothing, take ye for the journey, —neither staff, nor satchel, nor bread, nor silver, nor to have, two tunics.
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, be going forth.
and into whatever house you may enter, remain there, and depart from there;
5 And, as many soever as shall not welcome you, in going forth from that city, the dust of your feet, shake ye off, for a witness 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 went forth, and were passing through, along the villages, —delivering the glad-message, and effecting cures in every direction.
And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were coming to pass, and was utterly at a loss, because of its being said, by some, that, John, had been raised from the dead;
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,
8 and, by some, that, Elijah, had appeared; and, by others, that, some prophet of the ancients, had arisen.
and by some that Elijah appeared, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;
9 But Herod said—John, I myself, beheaded; but, who is this, concerning whom I am hearing such things as these? And he was seeking to see him.
and Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?” And he was seeking to see Him.
10 And the Apostles, returning, related to him what great things they had done. And, taking them aside, he retired privately, into a city called Bethsaida.
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,
11 But, the multitudes, getting to know, followed him; and, giving them welcome, he began speaking unto them concerning the kingdom of God, —and, them that had need of cure, he healed,
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 decline; and the twelve, coming near, said to him—Dismiss the multitude, that, going into the surrounding villages and hamlets, they may lodge, and find provisions; because, here, in a desert place, are we.
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. They, however, said—We have not more than five loaves, and two fishes, —unless perhaps, 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 there were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples—Make them recline, in companies of 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”;
15 And they did so, —and made, one and all, recline.
and they did so, and made all to recline;
16 And, taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, he blessed them, and brake [them] up, and went on giving to the disciples, to set before the multitude;
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;
17 and they did all eat and were filled. And that which remained over to them, was taken up, —of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
and they ate, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
18 And, it came to pass, when he was praying in solitude, the disciples, were with him. And he questioned 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 Immerser; But some, Elijah, and others, that, some prophet of the ancients, hath arisen.
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 to 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 He, however, sternly admonishing them, gave charge that, unto no one, should they be telling this;
And having charged them, He commanded [them] to say this to no one,
22 saying—The Son of Man must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by the Elders and High priests and Scribes, and be slain, —and, on the third day, arise.
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.”
23 And he was saying, unto all—If any one intendeth after me to come, Let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, —and be following me.
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;
24 For, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it; but, whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same, shall save it?
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 doth a man profit, who hath gained the whole world, but hath lost, or been made to forfeit, himself?
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, the Son of Man, will be ashamed, whensoever he shall come in his glory, and that of the Father, and of the holy messengers.
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, are, some of those, here, standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until 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, after these words, about eight days, taking with him Peter and John and James, he 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,
29 And it came to pass, while he was praying, that, the appearance of his face, was changed, and, his clothing, became white, effulgent.
and it came to pass, in His praying, the appearance of His face became altered, and His clothing became flashing white.
30 And lo! two men, were conversing with him, who, indeed, were Moses and Elijah, —
And behold, two men were speaking together with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 who, appearing in glory, were speaking as to his departure, which he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem.
who having appeared in glory, spoke of His outgoing that He was about to fulfill in Jerusalem,
32 Now, Peter, and they who were with him, had become heavy with sleep; but, waking up, they saw his glory, and the two men who were standing with him.
but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having awoken, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.
33 And it came to pass, when they were being parted from him, Peter said unto Jesus—Master! it is, delightful, for us to be, here: Let us, therefore, make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: —not knowing what he said.
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 Now, while he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it began to overshadow them, —and they were overcome with fear 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, the Chosen One: Unto him, be hearkening.
and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved; hear Him”;
36 And, when the voice came, there was found, Jesus alone. And they held their peace, and, unto no one, reported they, in those days, any of the things which they had seen.
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.
37 And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that there met him a great multitude.
And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him there,
38 And lo! a man from the multitude, uttered a cry, saying—Teacher! I beg of thee, to look upon my son, because, my only begotten, he is.
and behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, because he is my only begotten;
39 And lo! a spirit, taketh him, and, suddenly, he crieth out, —and it convulseth him—with foaming, and with difficulty departeth from him, sorely bruising him.
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,
40 And I begged of thy disciples, that they would 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, making answer, Jesus said—O faithless and perverted 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, while yet he was coming, the demon tare him, and mangled him. But Jesus rebuked the impure 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 being struck with astonishment, at the majesty of God. And, while all were marvelling at all things which he was doing, 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 Lay, ye, up in your ears, these words; for, the Son of Man, is about to 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 had become veiled from them, that they might not grasp it, —and they were afraid to question him, concerning 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 But there entered a reasoning among them, as to who of them should be greatest.
And there entered a reasoning among them, this—who may be greater of them.
47 And, Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart, taking a child, placed it near himself, —
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 give welcome unto this child, on my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome unto him that sent me forth. For, he who 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 But John, answering, said—Master! we saw some one, in thy name, casting out demons, —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 And Jesus said unto him—Do not forbid; for, whosoever 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 for taking him up were on the point of being fulfilled, even he himself, set, his face, to be journeying unto Jerusalem;
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,
52 and he sent messengers before his face, —and, taking their journey, they entered into a village of Samaritans, so as to prepare 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 welcomed him not, because, his face, was for journeying unto Jerusalem.
and they did not receive Him, because His face was going on to Jerusalem.
54 And the disciples James and John, seeing it, said—Lord! wilt thou, that we bid fire come down from heaven, and destroy 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, turning, he rebuked them.
And having turned, He rebuked them and said, “You have not known of what spirit you are,
56 And they journeyed into a different 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 were journeying on the road, one said unto him—I will follow thee, whithersoever thou shalt depart.
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, dens, and, the birds of heaven, nests; but, the Son of Man, hath not where, his head, he may recline.
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—Be following me! But, he, said—Suffer me, first, to depart, 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 And he said unto him—Leave, the dead, to bury their own dead; but, thou, departing, be declaring 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, yet another, said—I will follow thee, Lord; But, first, suffer me to bid adieu to them that are in 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 one, laying the hand on a plough and looking unto the things behind, 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.”
