Luke 9
1 And Jesus called his twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons and diseases, to heal them.
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them forth, to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said to them: Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics.
And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And into whatever house ye enter, there stay, and thence depart.
And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 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.
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And the Legates went forth, and travelled about the villages and cities, and preached and healed everywhere.
And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 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.
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8 But others said, that Elijah hath appeared; and others, that a prophet from among the ancient prophets hath arisen.
And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 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.
And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 And when the Legates returned, they narrated, to Jesus all they had done. And he took them aside, to the desert part of Bethsaida.
And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 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.
And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 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.
And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 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:
But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 for they were about five thousand men. Jesus said to them: Make them recline by companies, fifty persons in a company.
For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And the disciples did so, and made them all recline.
And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 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.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the fragments of remains, twelve baskets.
And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18 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?
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answer and say to him: John the Baptizer; others, Elijah and others, a prophet, one of the ancient prophets arisen.
They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elias; and others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said to them: But who, do ye say, that I am? Simon answered, and said: The Messiah of God.
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And he chided them, and charged them, that they should say this to no one.
And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing;
22 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.
Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23 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.
And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For he that will preserve his life, shall lose it; but he that shall lose his life, for my sake, will preserve it.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life or be deprived of it?
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 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.
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father’s, and of the holy angels.
27 I tell you the truth, that there are some standing here, who will not taste death, until they shall see the kingdom of God.
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 And it was about eight days after these discourses, that Jesus took Simon and James and John, and went up a mountain to pray.
And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And while he prayed, the aspect of his countenance was changed, and his garments became white and brilliant.
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment [was] white [and] glistering.
30 And lo, two men were talking with him: and they were Moses and Elijah,
And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 who appeared in glory. And they were conversing on his departure, which was to be consummated at Jerusalem.
Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 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.
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 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.
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 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.
While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there was a voice from the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son; hear ye him.
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 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.
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37 And the next day, as they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met them.
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38 And a man from the throng cried out, and said: Teacher, I beseech thee, turn thyself to me. Here is my only son:
And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39 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.
And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40 And I requested thy disciples to expel him; and they could not.
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41 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.
And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 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.
And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43 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:
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Lay up these words in your minds: for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men.
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45 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.
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46 And the thought arose among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus knew the thought of their heart: and he took a child, and placed him near to him;
And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 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.
And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this 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 shall be great.
49 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.
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50 Jesus said to them: Forbid not: for, whoever 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 when the days for his ascension were completed, so it was, that he set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And he sent messengers before his face; and they went, and entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare lodgings for him.
And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53 And they received him not, because he had set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54 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?
And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55 And he turned and rebuked them, and said: Ye know not of what spirit ye are.
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man hath not come to destroy souls; but to quicken them. And they went to another village.
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save [them]. And they went to another village.
57 And as they went by the way, one said to him: I will follow thee to whatever place thou goest, my Lord.
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 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.
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head.
59 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.
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 And Jesus said to him: Allow the dead to bury their dead; and go thou and proclaim the kingdom of God.
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 Another said to him: I will follow thee, my Lord; but allow me first to bid adieu to my household, and I will come.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the ox-plough, and looking backward, is fit for the kingdom of God.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
