Luke 9
1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
And, calling together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to be curing, diseases;
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
and sent them forth, to be proclaiming the kingdom of God, and to be healing;
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 said unto them—Nothing, take ye for the journey, —neither staff, nor satchel, nor bread, nor silver, nor to have, two tunics.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
And, into whatsoever house ye enter, there, abide, and, thence, be going forth.
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, as many soever as shall not welcome you, in going forth from that city, the dust of your feet, shake ye off, for a witness against them.
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
And they went forth, and were passing through, along the villages, —delivering the glad-message, and effecting cures in every direction.
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 John had risen from the dead,
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were coming to pass, and was utterly at a loss, because of its being said, by some, that, John, had been raised 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, some prophet of the ancients, had arisen.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
But Herod said—John, I myself, beheaded; but, who is this, concerning whom I am hearing such things as these? And he was seeking to see him.
10 The apostles, 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, returning, related to him what great things they had done. And, taking them aside, he retired privately, into a 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.
But, the multitudes, getting to know, followed him; and, giving them welcome, he began speaking unto them concerning the kingdom of God, —and, them that had need of cure, he healed,
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, the day, began to decline; and the twelve, coming near, said to him—Dismiss the multitude, that, going into the surrounding villages and hamlets, they may lodge, and find provisions; because, here, in a desert place, are we.
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 unto them—Give, ye, them to eat. They, however, said—We have not more than five loaves, and two fishes, —unless perhaps, we, should go, and buy food, 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 there were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples—Make them recline, in companies of about fifty each.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
And they did so, —and made, one and all, recline.
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.
And, taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, he blessed them, and brake [them] up, and went on giving to the disciples, to set before the multitude;
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
and they did all eat and were filled. And that which remained over to them, was taken up, —of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
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, when he was praying in solitude, the disciples, were with him. And he questioned them, saying—Who do the multitudes say that I am?
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
And they, answering, said John the Immerser; But some, Elijah, and others, that, some prophet of the ancients, hath arisen.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
And he said to them—But who say, ye, that I am? And, Peter, answering, said—The Christ of God!
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
He, however, sternly admonishing them, gave charge that, unto no one, should they be telling this;
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 needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by the Elders and High priests and Scribes, and be slain, —and, on the third day, arise.
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 was saying, unto all—If any one intendeth after me to come, Let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, —and be following 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, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it; but, whosoever shall 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 doth a man profit, who hath gained the whole world, but hath lost, or been made to forfeit, himself?
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, whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him, the Son of Man, will be ashamed, whensoever he shall come in his glory, and that of the Father, and of the holy messengers.
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 of a truth—There, are, some of those, here, standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God.
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
And it came to pass, after these words, about eight days, taking with him Peter and John and James, he went up into the mountain to pray.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
And it came to pass, while he was praying, that, the appearance of his face, was changed, and, his clothing, became white, effulgent.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
And lo! two men, were conversing with him, who, indeed, were Moses and Elijah, —
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
who, appearing in glory, were speaking as to his departure, which he was about to fulfil in 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.
Now, Peter, and they who were with him, had become heavy with sleep; but, waking up, they saw his glory, and the two men who were standing with him.
33 As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “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, when they were being parted from him, Peter said unto Jesus—Master! it is, delightful, for us to be, here: Let us, therefore, make three tents, 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.
Now, while he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it began to overshadow them, —and they were overcome with fear as they entered into the cloud.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
And, a voice, came out of the cloud, saying—This, is my Son, the Chosen One: Unto him, be hearkening.
36 When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
And, when the voice came, there was found, Jesus alone. And they held their peace, and, unto no one, reported they, 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, on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that there met him a great multitude.
38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
And lo! a man from the multitude, uttered a cry, saying—Teacher! I beg of thee, to look upon my son, because, my only begotten, he is.
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, suddenly, he crieth out, —and it convulseth him—with foaming, and with difficulty departeth from him, sorely bruising him.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
And I begged of thy disciples, that they would cast it out, and they could not.
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
And, making answer, Jesus said—O faithless and perverted generation! how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring, hither, thy son.
42 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
And, while yet he was coming, the demon tare him, and mangled him. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
And they were all being struck with astonishment, at the majesty of God. And, while all were marvelling at all things which he was doing, he said unto his disciples:
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
Lay, ye, up in your ears, these words; for, the Son of Man, is about to be delivered up, 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 had become veiled from them, that they might not grasp it, —and they were afraid to question him, concerning this saying.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
But there entered a reasoning among them, as to who of them should be greatest.
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
And, Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart, taking a child, placed it near himself, —
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 among you all, this one will be great.”
and said unto them—Whosoever shall give welcome unto this child, on my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome unto him that sent me forth. For, he who is least among you all, the same, is, great.
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
But John, answering, said—Master! we saw some one, in thy name, casting out demons, —and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
And Jesus said unto him—Do not forbid; for, whosoever is not against you, is, for you.
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
And it came to pass, when the days for taking him up were on the point of being fulfilled, even he himself, set, his face, to be journeying unto Jerusalem;
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
and he sent messengers before his face, —and, taking their journey, they entered into a village of Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
And they welcomed him not, because, his face, was for journeying unto Jerusalem.
54 When his disciples, James and John, 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 the disciples James and John, seeing it, said—Lord! wilt thou, that we bid fire come down from heaven, and destroy them?
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
But, turning, he rebuked them.
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
And they journeyed into a different village.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
And, as they were journeying on the road, one said unto him—I will follow thee, whithersoever thou shalt depart.
58 Jesus 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 unto him—the foxes, have, dens, and, the birds of heaven, nests; but, the Son of Man, hath not where, his head, he may recline.
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
And he said unto another—Be following me! But, he, said—Suffer me, first, to depart, and bury my father.
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
And he said unto him—Leave, the dead, to bury their own dead; but, thou, departing, be declaring 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, yet another, said—I will follow thee, Lord; But, first, suffer me to bid adieu to them that are in my house.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
But Jesus said [unto him] —No one, laying the hand on a plough and looking unto the things behind, is, fit, for the kingdom of God.
