1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2 He sent them out to proclaim God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
And he said to them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither staffs, nor bag, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.
5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
And whoever 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 They departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the Good News and healing everywhere.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that Yochanan had risen from the dead,

8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
And by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets had risen again.

And Herod said, John have I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 The emissaries, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
And the apostles, when they had 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 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
And when the day began to decline, then came the twelve, and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country around, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 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.”
But he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy provisions for all this people.
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.

16 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
And it came to pass, as he was in retirement praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am?
19 They answered, “‘Yochanan the Immerser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
They answering, said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elijah; and others [say], that one of the ancient prophets is risen again.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Messiah of God.”
He said to them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answering, said, Christ of God.
21 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 be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
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 the third day.
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow 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 whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 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.
For whoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in that of his] Father, and of the holy angels.
27 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 God’s Kingdom.”
But I tell you in truth, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, Yochanan, and Jacob, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with 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 As they were parting from him, Peter said to Yeshua, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to 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 Elijah: not knowing what he said.
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
While he was thus speaking, there came a cloud and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 When the voice came, Yeshua was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met him.
38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Rabbi, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son: for he is my only child.
39 Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
41 Yeshua answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
And Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43 They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which Yeshua did, he said to his disciples,
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.
45 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.
46 An argument arose amongst them about which of them was the greatest.
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 Yeshua, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 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 amongst you all, this one will be great.”
And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 Yochanan answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow 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 with us.
50 Yeshua said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
And Jesus said to him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not against us, is for us.
51 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 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

53 They didn’t receive him, because he was travelling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

54 When his disciples, Jacob and Yochanan, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
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 Elijah did?
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you 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 didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” 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 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
And it came to pass, that as they were going in the way, a certain [man] said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 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.”
And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head.
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 But Yeshua said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go [and] bid them farewell who are at my house.
62 But Yeshua said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
And Jesus said to him, No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
