Luke 9
1 And, calling together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to be curing, diseases;
And He called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all 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 forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
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 unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor two coats a piece.
4 And, into whatsoever house ye enter, there, abide, and, thence, be going forth.
And into whatever house ye enter, continue there, till ye leave that place.
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 whosoever will not receive you, when ye depart from that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, 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 they went from town to town, preaching the gospel and healing every where.
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;
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done by Him; and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from 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 Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.
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, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? and he wanted 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; when they were returned, told Him all that they had done: and He took them and retired privately into a desert place belonging to the city 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,
But when the people knew it they followed Him; and He received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those that had need of a cure.
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 when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the people, that they may go into the villages and country-places round about, and bait, and get food: for here we are in a desert 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.
But He said unto them, Do ye give them food. And they said, We have but five loaves and two fishes: unless we should go and buy provisions 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, Make them sit down in companies by fifty.
15 And they did so, —and made, one and all, recline.
And they did so, and caused them all to sit down.
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 He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven He blessed them; and brake and gave them 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 did eat, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up what remained even of fragments 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 was praying in private, his disciples were with Him: and He asked them saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 And they, answering, said John the Immerser; But some, Elijah, and others, that, some prophet of the ancients, hath arisen.
They answering said, John the baptist: but others say Elias: and others, that some ancient prophet is risen again.
20 And he said to them—But who say, ye, that I am? And, Peter, answering, said—The Christ of God!
And He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answered and said, The Christ the Son of God.
21 He, however, sternly admonishing them, gave charge that, unto no one, should they be telling this;
But He strictly charged and commanded them to tell 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, 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 be raised again 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 unto them all, if any one is willing to come after me, let him deny 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 he that would save his life shall lose it, but he that would lose his life for my sake shall 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, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be destroyed?
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 whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He comes in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
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 assure you, there be some of those who stand here, that shall not taste of death, till they have seen 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.
About eight days after these discourses, He took Peter, and John, and James, and went up to a 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 as He was praying the form of his countenance was altered, and his raiment white and glistering:
30 And lo! two men, were conversing with him, who, indeed, were Moses and Elijah, —
and behold two men talked with Him, which were Moses and Elias;
31 who, appearing in glory, were speaking as to his departure, which he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem.
who appeared in glory, and spake of his exit, which He was to make at 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.
Now Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep; but being awakened they saw his glory, and the two men that stood 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 as they were departing from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
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 saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they went up into the cloud and disappeared.
35 And, a voice, came out of the cloud, saying—This, is my Son, the Chosen One: Unto him, be hearkening.
And there came a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son, hear ye 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 uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it to themselves, and told no one at that time any of the things which they had 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 the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him:
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 one of the people cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is my only child;
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 lo, a spirit seizeth him, and all on a sudden he screameth, and it convulses him with foaming; and bruising him, with much ado departs from him.
40 And I begged of thy disciples, that they would cast it out, and they could not.
And I prayed thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
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.
Then Jesus answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring thy son hither.
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 was coming along, the devil bruised and convulsed him: but Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him 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 mighty power of God: but while they were all wondering at the things which 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.
Receive these words into your ears; for the Son of man is going to be delivered 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.
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not, and they were afraid to ask Him concerning it.
46 But there entered a reasoning among them, as to who of them should be greatest.
Then a dispute rose among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And, Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart, taking a child, placed it near himself, —
And Jesus knowing the thought of their heart, took a child and set him by Him, and said unto them,
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.
Whosoever shall receive this little child for my sake, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me. For he that is lest among you all, shall 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 answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he followeth not thee with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him—Do not forbid; for, whosoever is not against you, is, for you.
And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not; for he, that 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, as the days were almost fulfilled of his being received up again into heaven, that He set his face to go 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 sent messengers before Him: who went into a village of the Samaritans to get a place ready for Him.
53 And they welcomed him not, because, his face, was for journeying unto Jerusalem.
But they would not entertain Him, because his face was towards 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 when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did?
55 But, turning, he rebuked them.
But He turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of:
56 And they journeyed into a different village.
for the Son of man came not to destroy mens lives, but to save them. And they went 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 as they were going by the way, there was one said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest:
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 answered him, The foxes have holes, and the fowls of heaven their nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his 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: but he said, Lord, permit me to go first and 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.
but Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go thou and preach 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, Lord, I will follow thee, but allow me first to go and take my leave of my family.
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.
But Jesus said unto him, No one, that hath put his hand to the plough and looketh back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
