Lucam 9
1 Convocatis autem Iesus duodecim Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem, et potestatem super omnia daemonia, et ut languores curarent.
Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.
2 Et misit illos praedicare regnum Dei, et sanare infirmos.
And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 Et ait ad illos: Nihil tuleritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, neque panem, neque pecuniam, neque duas tunicas habeatis.
“Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.
4 Et in quamcumque domum intraveritis, ibi manete, et inde ne exeatis.
Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.
5 Et quicumque non receperint vos: exeuntes de civitate illa, etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos.
If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”
6 Egressi autem circuibant per castella evangelizantes, et curantes ubique.
So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
7 Audivit autem Herodes tetrarcha omnia, quae fiebant ab eo, et haesitabat eo quod diceretur
When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,
8 a quibusdam: Quia Ioannes surrexit a mortuis: a quibusdam vero: Quia Elias apparuit: ab aliis autem: Quia propheta unus de antiquis surrexit.
others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.
9 Et ait Herodes: Ioannem ego decollavi: Quis est autem iste, de quo ego talia audio? Et quaerebat videre eum.
“I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
10 Et reversi Apostoli, narraverunt illi quaecumque fecerunt: et assumptis illis secessit seorsum in locum desertum, qui est Bethsaidae.
Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Quod cum cognovissent turbae, secutae sunt illum: et excepit eos, et loquebatur illis de regno Dei, et eos, qui cura indigebant, sanabat.
But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.
12 Dies autem coeperat declinare. Et accedentes duodecim dixerunt illi: Dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella, villasque quae circa sunt, divertant, et inveniant escas: quia hic in loco deserto sumus.
As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”
13 Ait autem ad illos: Vos date illis manducare. At illi dixerunt: Non sunt nobis plus quam quinque panes, et duo pisces: nisi forte nos eamus, et emamus in omnem hanc turbam escas.
But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
14 Erant autem fere viri quinque millia. Ait autem ad discipulos suos: Facite illos discumbere per convivia quinquagenos.
(There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 Et ita fecerunt. Et discubuerunt omnes.
They did so, and everyone was seated.
16 Acceptis autem quinque panibus, et duobus piscibus, respexit in caelum, et benedixit illis: et fregit, et distribuit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante turbas.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
17 Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et sublatum est quod superfuit illis, fragmentorum cophini duodecim.
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
18 Et factum est cum solus esset orans, erant cum illo et discipuli: et interrogavit illos, dicens: Quem me dicunt esse turbae?
One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 At illi responderunt, et dixerunt: Ioannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero quia unus Propheta de prioribus surrexit.
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”
20 Dixit autem illis: Vos autem quem me esse dicitis? Respondens Simon Petrus dixit: Christum Dei.
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21 At ille increpans illos, praecepit ne cui dicerent hoc,
Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
22 dicens: Quia oportet filium hominis multa pati, et reprobari a senioribus, et principibus sacerdotum, et Scribis, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere.
“The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”
23 Dicebat autem ad omnes: Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam quotidie, et sequatur me.
Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
24 Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam: nam qui perdiderit animam suam propter me, salvam faciet illam.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
25 quid enim proficit homo, si lucretur universum mundum, se autem ipsum perdat, et detrimentum sui faciat?
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?
26 Nam qui me erubuerit, et meos sermones: hunc Filius hominis erubescet cum venerit in maiestate sua, et Patris, et sanctorum angelorum.
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 in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
27 Dico autem vobis vere: sunt aliqui hic stantes, qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei.
But I tell you truthfully, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
28 Factum est autem post haec verba fere dies octo, et assumpsit Petrum, et Iacobum, et Ioannem, et ascendit in montem ut oraret.
About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
29 Et facta est, dum oraret, species vultus eius altera: et vestitus eius albus et refulgens.
And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.
30 Et ecce duo viri loquebantur cum illo. Erant autem Moyses, et Elias,
Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.
31 visi in maiestate: et dicebant excessum eius, quem completurus erat in Ierusalem.
They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Petrus vero, et qui cum illo erant, gravati erant somno. Et evigilantes viderunt maiestatem eius, et duos viros, qui stabant cum illo.
Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.
33 Et factum est cum discederent ab illo, ait Petrus ad Iesum: Praeceptor, bonum est nos hic esse: et faciamus tria tabernacula, unum Tibi, et unum Moysi, et unum Eliae: nesciens quid diceret.
As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 Haec autem illo loquente, facta est nubes, et obumbravit eos: et timuerunt, intrantibus illis in nubem.
While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35 Et vox facta est de nube, dicens: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, ipsum audite.
And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”
36 Et dum fieret vox, inventus est Iesus solus. Et ipsi tacuerunt, et nemini dixerunt in illis diebus quidquam ex his, quae viderant.
After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.
37 Factum est autem in sequenti die, descendentibus illis de monte, occurrit illis turba multa.
The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.
38 Et ecce vir de turba exclamavit, dicens: Magister, obsecro te, respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi:
Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39 et ecce spiritus apprehendit eum, et subito clamat, et elidit, et dissipat eum cum spuma, et vix discedit dilanians eum:
A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.
40 et rogavi discipulos tuos ut eiicerent illum, et non potuerunt.
I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
41 Respondens autem Iesus, dixit: O generatio infidelis, et perversa, usquequo ero apud vos, et patiar vos? Adduc huc filium tuum.
“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Et cum accederet, elisit illum daemonium, et dissipavit.
Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Et increpavit Iesus spiritum immundum, et sanavit puerum, et reddidit illum patri eius.
And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,
44 Stupebant autem omnes in magnitudine Dei: omnibusque mirantibus in omnibus, quae faciebat, dixit ad discipulos suos: Ponite vos in cordibus vestris sermones istos: Filius enim hominis futurum est ut tradatur in manus hominum.
“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”
45 At illi ignorabant verbum istud, et erat velatum ante eos ut non sentirent illud: et timebant eum interrogare de hoc verbo.
But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
46 Intravit autem cogitatio in eos, quis eorum maior esset.
Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
47 At Iesus videns cogitationes cordis illorum, apprehendit puerum, et statuit illum secus se,
But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.
48 et ait illis: Quicumque susceperit puerum istum in nomine meo, me recipit: et quicumque me receperit, recipit eum, qui me misit. Nam qui minor est inter vos omnes, hic maior est.
And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”
49 Respondens autem Ioannes dixit: Praeceptor, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo eiicientem daemonia, et prohibuimus eum: quia non sequitur nos.
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
50 Et ait ad illum Iesus: Nolite prohibere: qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.
“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
51 Factum est autem dum complerentur dies assumptionis eius, et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret in Ierusalem.
As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
52 Et misit nuncios ante conspectum suum: et euntes intraverunt in civitatem Samaritanorum ut parerent illi.
He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.
53 Et non receperunt eum, quia facies eius erat euntis in Ierusalem.
But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
54 Cum vidissent autem discipuli eius Iacobus, et Ioannes, dixerunt: Domine, vis dicimus ut ignis descendat de caelo, et consumat illos?
When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
55 Et conversus increpavit illos, dicens: Nescitis cuius spiritus estis.
But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56 Filius hominis non venit animas perdere, sed salvare. Et abierunt in aliud castellum.
And He and His disciples went on to another village.
57 Factum est autem: ambulantibus illis in via, dixit quidam ad illum: Sequar te quocumque ieris.
As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 Dixit illi Iesus: Vulpes foveas habent, et volucres caeli nidos: Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput suum reclinet.
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
59 Ait autem ad alterum: Sequere me. ille autem dixit: Domine permitte mihi primum ire, et sepelire patrem meum.
Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Dixitque ei Iesus: Sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos: tu autem vade, et annuntia regnum Dei.
But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61 Et ait alter: Sequar te Domine, sed permitte mihi primum renunciare his, quae domi sunt.
Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”
62 Ait ad illum Iesus: Nemo mittens manum suam ad aratrum, et respiciens retro, aptus est regno Dei.
Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
