< Luke 9 >

1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
AND Jeshu called his twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons and diseases, to heal.
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
And he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of Aloha, and to heal the diseased.
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 the way, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver; nor two tunics shall you have.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
And into whatever house you enter, there be, and from thence go 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 whoever will not receive you, when you depart from that city the dust also from your feet shake off as a testimony against them.
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
And the apostles went forth and itinerated in the villages and the cities, and evangelized and healed in every place.
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,
But Herodes, Tetrarka, heard all that was done by his hand, and was astonished; for men said that Juchanon had risen from the house of the dead.
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
But others said that Elia had appeared, and others that a prophet from the former prophets had risen.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
And Herodes said, The head of Juchanon I have cut off; but who is this of whom I hear these (things)? And he willed 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 when the apostles returned, they showed Jeshu all that they had done. And he took them by themselves to a desert place of Bethtsaida.
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, when they knew it, went after him, and he received them, and discoursed to them concerning the kingdom of Aloha. And those who had need of healing 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.”
BUT when the day began to decline, the disciples drew near and said to him, Send away the multitudes, that they may go to the villages and hamlets that are around, to lodge in them and to find for themselves victuals, because we are 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.”
Jeshu said to them, Give you them to eat. But they said, We have nothing more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we 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 they were about five thousand men. Jeshu said to them, Make them recline in reclining companies, fifty men in a company.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
And the disciples did so. And they all reclined.
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 Jeshu took those five loaves and two fishes, and looked up to heaven and blessed and brake and gave to his disciples, that they should set before the multitude.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
And all did eat and were filled. And they took up fragments which abounded, 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 as he was praying alone, and his disciples with him, he asked them and said, What say concerning me the multitude, that I am?
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
They answered and say to him, Juchanon the Baptizer; and others that (thou art) Elia; but others that a prophet from the former prophets hath arisen.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
He saith to them, But what do you say that I am? Shemun answered and said, The Meshicha of Aloha!
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
But he forbade them and cautioned them that this they should tell no man.
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.”
And he told them how it was to be (that) he the Son of man should suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and Sophree, and (that) they would kill him; and that on the third day he would 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 said before all, Whoever willeth to come after me, must deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and come after 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 willeth to save his life, loseth it; but whoever (is willing) to lose his life, for my sake, he saveth 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 helped a son of man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his soul, or perish?
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, the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with 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.”
THE truth I say to you, that some who are standing here shall not taste death, until they have seen the kingdom of Aloha.
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 was after these words about eight days, that Jeshu took Shemun and Jakub and Juchanon, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
And while he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his garments became white and shone.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
And, behold, two men talked with him, who were Musha and Elia,
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
who appeared in glory; but they spake concerning his going forth which should be accomplished at Urishlem.
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.
And Shemun, and they who were with him, had been heavy with sleep, and were scarcely awaked when they saw his glory and those two men who stood 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 when they began to depart from him, Shemun said to Jeshu, Rabi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; for thee one, and for Musha one, and for Elia one. But he knew not 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.
And as he spoke these (words) there was a cloud which shadowed over them, and they feared when they saw that Musha and Elia entered into the cloud. i
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
And the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, Him hear.
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 had been, Jeshu was found alone. And they were silent, and told no man in those days what they had seen.
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
AND the day after when they had descended from the mountain, a great multitude met them.
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 a certain man from the multitude cried and said, Malphona, I beseech thee, turn unto me; (there is) my son, my only one,
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 a spirit passeth upon him, and he suddenly crieth, and gnasheth his teeth, and lacerateth, and hardly removeth from him when he hath bruised him.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, but 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.”
Then Jeshu answered and said, Ah generation unbelieving and perverse! how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring thy son hither.
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 as they brought him near, the devil cast him down and bruised him: and Jeshu rebuked that unclean spirit and healed the youth and gave him 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 all wondered at the majesty of Aloha. And while every one wondered at all which Jeshu 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.”
Treasure these words in your ears; for the Son of man is to 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 that saying, because it was hidden from them that they should not know it: and they feared to ask of him concerning that saying.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
And there entered among them the thought, Who should be greatest among them?
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
But Jeshu knew the thought of their heart; and he took a child and made him stand with 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 among you all, this one will be great.”
And he said to them, Every one who receiveth a child like this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever receiveth me, he receiveth Him who sent me. For he who is least among you, he shall be greatest.
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
And Juchanon answered and said, Raban, we saw a man who was casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he came not with us after thee.
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
Jeshu saith to them, Forbid him not; for he who is not against us, he 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
AND it was that when the days were fulfilled for his Assumption, he directed his face to go to Urishlem.
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 they went and entered into a village of the Shomroyee, so as to prepare for him.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
And they would not receive him, because his face unto Urishlem was set to go.
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 when Jacub and Juchanon his disciples saw it, they say to him, Maran, art thou willing that we call fire to descend from heaven to consume them, as Elia did?
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
But he turned and reproved them, and said, You know not of what spirit you are: for the Son of man is not come to destroy lives, but to save.
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 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 while they went in the way, a certain man said to him, I will follow thee to the place whither thou goest, my Lord.
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.”
Jeshu saith to him, The foxes have holes and the fowls of the heaven a shadow, 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, Come after me. But he said to him, My Lord, permit me first to go 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.”
Jeshu said to him, Leave the dead burying their dead; and thou, go and preach the kingdom of Aloha.
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 said to him, I will come after thee, my Lord, but first permit me to go to salute the sons of my house, and I will come.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
Jeshu saith to him, No man putting his hand upon the coulter of the yoke, and looking behind him, is fit for the kingdom of Aloha.
