Luke 9
1 Having called together then the Twelve (disciples of him *K) He gave to them power and authority over all the demons and diseases to heal
Jesus called the twelve disciples together. He gave them power and authority over all demons, and the ability to heal diseases.
2 and He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the (sick. *N+kO)
Then he sent them out to proclaim God's kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 and He said to them; Nothing do take for the journey; neither (staff *N+KO) nor bag nor bread nor money nor apiece two tunics to have.
“Take nothing with you for the journey,” he told them. “No staff, no bag, no bread, no money, not even any extra clothes.
4 And into whatever maybe house you may enter, there do remain and from there do go forth.
Whatever house you enter, stay there, and when you leave, leave from there.
5 And as many as (maybe *NK+o) not (shall receive *N+kO) you, going forth from the city that (and *k) the dust from the feet of you (do shake off *N+kO) as a testimony against them.
If people refuse to accept you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave town as a warning against them.”
6 Going forth then they were passing through the villages evangelising and healing everywhere.
They left and went around the villages, announcing the good news and healing everywhere they went.
7 Heard of now Herod the Tetrarch the [things] being done (by him *K) all and was perplexed because of the saying by some that John (has been raised *N+kO) out from [the] dead,
Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was happening, and he was very puzzled. Some were saying that John had been raised from the dead;
8 by some also that Elijah had appeared, by others also that a prophet (someone *N+kO) of the ancients had arisen.
others that Elijah had appeared; still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
9 (and *k) Said (then *no) Herod; John I myself beheaded; who however is this concerning whom (I myself *ko) I hear such things? And he was seeking to see Him.
Herod said, “There's no question I beheaded John. So who is this man? I'm hearing all these things about him.” And he tried to find a way to meet Jesus.
10 And having returned the apostles related to Him as much as they had done. And having taken them He withdrew by in private into (place solitary *K) (a town being called *N+kO) Bethsaida.
When the apostles returned they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he left with them and went to a town called Bethsaida.
11 The now crowds having known [it] they followed Him. and (having received *N+kO) them He was speaking to them concerning the kingdom of God, and those need having of healing He was healing.
However, the crowds found out where he was going and followed him there. He welcomed them and explained the kingdom of God to them, and healed those who needed healing.
12 And the day began to decline. having come then the Twelve said to Him; do dismiss the crowd that (having travelled *N+kO) into the surrounding villages and countryside they may lodge and they may find provisions; for here in a desolate place we are.
Late in the day, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “You should send the crowd away now so they can go to the villages and farms nearby and find a place to stay and food to eat—there's nothing here where we are.”
13 He said now to them; do give to them you yourselves to eat. But they said; Not there are to us more than loaves five and fish two, except surely even having gone we ourselves shall buy for all people this food.
“You give them something to eat!” said Jesus. “All we have here are five loaves and two fish—unless you want us to go and buy food for everyone,” they said.
14 They were for about men five thousand. He said then to the disciples of Him; do make sit down them groups (of about *NO) in fifty.
There were about five thousand men present. “Sit them down in groups of about fifty,” he told his disciples.
15 And they did so and (he sat *N+KO) all.
The disciples did so, and everybody sat down.
16 Having taken then the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven He blessed them and broke [them] and He was giving [them] to the disciples (to set *N+kO) before the crowd.
Jesus picked up the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed the food and broke it into pieces. He kept on giving the food to the disciples to share with the people.
17 And they ate and were satisfied all, and was taken up that having been a surplus to them of fragments hand-baskets twelve.
Everybody ate until they were full, and then twelve baskets of leftovers were collected.
18 And it came to pass as happening He is praying in solitary were with Him the disciples, and He questioned them saying; Whom Me do pronounce the crowds to be?
At another time, when Jesus was praying in private with just his disciples with him, he asked them, “All these crowds of people—who do they say I am?”
19 And answering they said; John the Baptist, others also Elijah, others now that a prophet one of the ancients has arisen.
“Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others say one of the ancient prophets risen from the dead,” they replied.
20 He said then to them; You yourselves however whom Me do pronounce to be? Peter then answering said; The Christ of God.
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” “God's Messiah,” Peter replied.
21 And having strictly warned to them He instructed [them] to no one (to tell *N+kO) this
Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anybody about this.
22 having said that It is necessary for the Son of Man many things to suffer and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be killed and on the third day (to be raised. *NK+o)
“The Son of man must experience terrible sufferings,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the religious teachers. He will be killed, but on the third day he will rise again.”
23 He was saying then to all; If anyone desires after Me (to come, he should deny *N+kO) himself and he should take up the cross of him every day and he should follow Me.
“If any one of you wants to follow me, you must deny yourself, pick up your cross daily, and follow me,” Jesus told all of them.
24 Who[ever] for (maybe *NK+o) shall desire the life of him to save, will lose it; who[ever] however maybe may lose the life of him on account of me, he will save it.
“For if you want to save your life, you will lose it; and if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it.
25 What for is profited a man having gained the world whole himself now having destroyed or having suffered the loss of?
What do you benefit by gaining the whole world if you end up lost or destroyed?
26 Who[ever] for maybe may have been ashamed of Me and My words, him the Son of Man will be ashamed of when He may come in the glory of Himself and of the Father and of the holy angels.
If you are ashamed of me and my message, the Son of man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory, and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
27 I say now to you truthfully there are some of those (there *N+kO) already standing who certainly not (may taste *N+kO) of death until maybe they may have seen the kingdom of God.
I tell you the truth, some standing here won't taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
28 It came to pass now after sayings these about days eight, and having taken Peter and John and James He went up on the mountain to pray.
About eight days later, after he had told them this, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a mountain to pray.
29 And it came to pass during praying by Him the appearance of the face of Him [was] altered, and the clothing of Him white became dazzling.
While he was praying, his face changed in appearance, and his clothing became a dazzling white.
30 And behold men two were talking with Him who were Moses and Elijah;
Two men appeared in brilliant glory. They were Moses and Elijah, and they began to talk with Jesus.
31 Those having appeared in glory were speaking of the going out of Him which He was soon to accomplish in Jerusalem.
They spoke about his death, which would soon happen in Jerusalem.
32 And Peter and those with him were wearied with sleep. having awoken fully then they saw the glory of Him and the two men who already standing with Him.
Peter and the others were asleep. When they woke up they saw Jesus in his glory, and the two men standing next to him.
33 And it came to pass in the departing of them from Him said Peter to Jesus; Master, good it is for us here to be, also let us make tabernacles three, one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah; not knowing what he is saying.
As the two men were about to leave, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it's great to be here. Let's make some shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He really didn't know what he was saying.
34 These things then when he is saying came a cloud and (was overshadowing *N+kO) them. they feared then in the entering (of them *N+kO) into the cloud.
While he was speaking a cloud came and spread over them. They were terrified as they entered the cloud.
35 And a voice came out of the cloud saying; This is the Son of Mine the (chosen, *N+KO) to Him do listen.
A voice spoke from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him!”
36 And as happening the voice was found Jesus alone. And they themselves were silent and to no [one] they told in those the days no [thing] of what they have seen.
When the voice finished speaking, Jesus was there alone. They kept this to themselves, and didn't tell anyone at that time what they'd seen.
37 It came to pass then (in *ko) the next day when were descending they from the mountain met with Him a crowd great.
The next day, when they had come down the mountain, a huge crowd was waiting to meet Jesus.
38 And behold a man from the crowd (cried *N+kO) saying; Teacher, I implore You (to look *N+kO) upon the son of mine for an only child to me he is;
A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, please look at my son. He's my only child.
39 And behold a spirit takes him and suddenly he cries out and it throws into convulsions him with foaming and (with difficulty *NK+o) it departs from him bruising him.
A spirit possesses him and he screams immediately. It sends him into convulsions and makes him foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone and it causes him a lot of pain.
40 And I begged the disciples of You that (they may cast out *N+kO) it, and not they were able.
I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't.”
41 Answering now Jesus said, O generation unbelieving and perverted, until when will I be with you and I will bear with you? do bring here the son of you.
“What an unbelieving and corrupt people you are! How long do I have to remain here with you, and put up with you?” said Jesus. “Bring your son here.”
42 While then when is coming near he threw down him the demon and threw [him] into convulsions. Rebuked then Jesus the spirit unclean and healed the boy and gave back him to the father of him.
Even as the boy came over, the demon sent him into convulsions, throwing him to the ground. But Jesus intervened, rebuking the evil spirit and healing the boy, and then gave him back to his father.
43 Were astonished then all at the majesty of God. Of all however wondering at all which (was doing *N+kO) (Jesus *K) He said to the disciples of Him;
Everyone was amazed at this demonstration of God's power. However, even though everyone was amazed by all he did, Jesus warned his disciples,
44 do implant in yourself you yourselves into the ears of you words these; for the Son of Man is soon to be betrayed into [the] hands of men.
“Listen carefully to what I'm telling you: the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
45 But they were not understanding declaration this, and it was veiled from them that not they may understand it. And they were afraid to ask Him concerning declaration this.
But they didn't understand what this meant. Its meaning was hidden from them so they didn't realize its implications, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 Came up then an argument among them this who maybe would be greater of them.
Then an argument started among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.
47 But Jesus (knowing *N+kO) the reasoning of the heart of them, having taken hold of (a child *N+kO) set it by Himself
But Jesus, knowing what they were arguing about, picked up and placed a small child next to him.
48 and He said to them; Who[ever] (maybe *NK+o) shall receive this child in the name of Me, Me myself receives; and who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) Me myself shall receive, receives the [One] having sent Me. The [one] for least among all you being he (is *N+kO) great.
Then he said to them, “Anyone who accepts this little child in my name accepts me, and anyone who accepts me accepts the one who sent me. Whoever is least among you all is the greatest.”
49 Answering now John said; Master, we saw someone (in *N+kO) the name of You casting out demons and (we were forbidding *N+kO) him because not he follows with us.
John spoke up, saying, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”
50 (and *k) Said (then *no) to him Jesus; Not do forbid; who[ever] for not is against (you *N+KO) for (you *N+KO) is.
“Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who isn't against you is for you.”
51 It came to pass then in the completing the days of the ascension of Him that He himself the face (of him *ko) steadfastly set to go to Jerusalem.
As the time approached for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus was determined to go to Jerusalem.
52 And He sent messengers before [the] face of Him. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans (so as *N+kO) to make ready for Him.
He sent messengers on ahead to a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.
53 And not they did receive Him because the face of Him was [as] going toward Jerusalem.
But the people would not welcome him because he was determined to press on to Jerusalem.
54 Having seen [it] now the disciples (of him *ko) James and John said; Lord, do you want [that] we may call fire to come down from heaven and to consume them (as and Elijah did? *K)
When James and John saw this, they asked Jesus, “Master, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to burn them up?”
55 Having turned then He rebuked them (and said not you know such as spirit are you yourselves. *K)
But Jesus turned, and reprimanded them.
56 (for the son of man not came souls of men to destroy but to save. *K) and they went to another village.
Then they proceeded to another village.
57 (And *no) (it came to pass *KO) (now *k) when are going they along the road said someone to Him; I will follow You wherever (maybe *N+kO) You shall go (Lord. *K)
While they were walking, one man told Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go!”
58 And said to him Jesus; The foxes holes have, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of Man not has where the head He may lay.
Jesus told the man, “Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man doesn't even have a place to rest his head.”
59 He said then to another; do follow Me. But he said; Lord do allow me having gone away first to bury the father of mine.
He told another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Master, first let me go home and bury my father.”
60 He said then to him (Jesus: *K) do leave the dead to bury the their own dead. you yourself however having gone forth do declare the kingdom of God.
“Let the dead bury their own dead,” Jesus replied. “You go and proclaim God's kingdom.”
61 Said then also another; I will follow You, Lord; first however do allow me to bid farewell to those at the home of mine.
Another man said, “Lord, I will follow you! But first let me go home and say goodbye to my family.”
62 Said then to him Jesus: No [one] having laid the hand (of him *ko) upon [the] plow and looking on the [things] back suitable is (for *k) (the kingdom *N+kO) of God.
But Jesus told him, “Nobody once they've started plowing and then looks back is fit for God's kingdom.”
