Luke 9
1 [One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.

2 [Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],

3 he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).

5 [In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”

6 Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.

7 Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].

8 Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].

9 But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].

10 When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.

11 But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.

12 Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”

13 But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”

14 There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉ̅ ⳿ⲛϣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲣⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲛ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲙⲁ.
15 After they told the people that, they all sat down.

16 Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.

17 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!

18 [One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”

19 They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”

20 He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲫϯ.
21 Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].

22 Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”

23 Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].

24 You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].

25 People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]

28 About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].

30 Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.

32 Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.

33 As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.

34 As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.

35 [God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”

37 The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.

39 At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.

41 Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”

42 While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].

43 All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲩⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
44 “Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”

45 But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲱⲃϣ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϩⲏⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲕⲁϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲉϣⲉⲛϥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ.
46 The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].

47 But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.

48 He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”

49 John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
ⲙ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉϥϩⲓ ⲇⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲛ ⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲧⲁϩⲛⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ.
50 But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”

51 When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.

52 He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].

53 But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].

54 When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
ⲛ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲭⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲭⲣⲱⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲣⲟⲕϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ.
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].

56 So they went to a different village.

57 As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”

58 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”

59 Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”

60 But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”

62 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
