3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, neither staffs, knapsack, bread, nor money; and bring only one tunic each.
And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey—neither staff, nor pack, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that place.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 If any will not receive you, shake off the very dust from your feet as you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”
As many as do not receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."

9 But Herod said, “John I beheaded; who then is this man about whom I hear such things?” So he was looking for an opportunity to see him.
Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?" He sought to see him.
10 When the apostles returned, they told Jesus about all they had done. Then he took them along and withdrew privately to a desolate place belonging to a town called Bethsaida.
The emissaries, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Beit Tzaidah.
11 But when the crowds found out about it, they followed him. So he welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who had need of healing.
But the crowds, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 As the day began to draw to a close, the twelve came up and said to Jesus, “Send the crowd away so that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and provisions, for we are in a desolate place here.”
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place."
13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have only five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for this entire group of people.”
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."
14 (For there were about five thousand men.) Then he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of fifty each.”
For they were about five thousand men. He said to his talmidim, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
15 The disciples did so, and had everyone sit down.

17 They all ate and were filled, and what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
It happened, as he was praying alone, that the talmidim were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
19 They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others say that one of the ancient prophets has risen.”
They answered, "'John the Immerser,' but others say, 'Elijah,' and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God."
21 Jesus then warned them and instructed them to tell this to no one,
But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and he must be killed and on the third day rise again.”
saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief cohanim, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up."
23 Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
25 For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
For what does it profit a person if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
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 Father, and of the holy angels.
27 But truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
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 the Kingdom of God."
28 About eight days after he had spoken these words, he took Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.
It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and Jacob, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Yeshua, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.
34 But as he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 Then a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him!”

36 When the voice finished speaking, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept silent and did not tell anyone in those days about any of the things they had seen.

And look, a man from the crowd called out, saying, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39 A spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone, bruising him severely.
And look, a spirit seizes him, and all at once he cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
40 I begged yoʋr disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
I begged your talmidim to cast it out, and they could not."
41 Jesus answered, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring yoʋr son here.”
Yeshua answered, "Faithless and perverse generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."
42 Now as the boy was approaching, the demon threw him down and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Yeshua did, he said to his talmidim,
44 “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.”
"Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men."
45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was concealed from them, so that they could not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
But they did not understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Now an argument arose among the disciples as to which of them was greater.
There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
47 But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and placed him by his side.
Yeshua, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48 Then he said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who will be great.”
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 is great."
49 John responded, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in yoʋr name, and we told him to stop because he does not follow us.”
John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."
50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for whoever is not against us is for us.”
Yeshua said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against you is for you."
51 Now when the days were approaching for Jesus' ascension, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 He sent messengers on ahead, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make preparations for him.

53 But the people there refused to welcome him, because his face was set to go to Jerusalem.
But they did not receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
54 When his disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do yoʋ want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just like Elijah did?”
When his talmidim, Jacob and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and consume them?"
55 But he turned and rebuked them, saying, “You do not know what kind of spirit you belong to.
And he turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not realize what kind of Ruach you belong to.
56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy people's lives but to save them.” And they went on to another village.
For the Son of Man did not come to destroy people's lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.
57 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow yoʋ wherever yoʋ go, Lord.”
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, "I want to follow you wherever you go."
58 Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
And Yeshua 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."

He said to another, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. But yoʋ go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
But Yeshua said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God."
61 Still another said, “I will follow yoʋ, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to my family.”
Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house."
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
But Yeshua said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."
