2 He sent them out to proclaim God’s Kingdom 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 the journey—neither staffs nor knapsack nor bread nor money, neither have two tunics apiece.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
Whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
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.”
But as many as do not receive you, when you depart from that town, shake off even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the Good News and healing everywhere.
So they set out and went around, village by village, evangelizing 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 arisen.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded Yochanan, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
But Herod said, “John I beheaded; so who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he started trying 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.
When the Apostles returned they reported to Him all that they had done. Then He took them and withdrew privately to a deserted place belonging to a town 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 crowds, being aware, followed Him. So He received them and started speaking to them about the Kingdom of God, and He cured those who needed 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.”
Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve approached and said to Him, “Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go to the surrounding villages and their farms, lodge and find food; because we are in a deserted place here.”
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, “You feed them!” So they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd”
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
(there were about five thousand men). But He said to His disciples, “Make them recline in groups of fifty!”
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
They did so, making them 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.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven He blessed and broke them, and gave them 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.
So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the pieces they left were taken up.
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
Now it happened, as He was alone praying, that the disciples joined Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 They answered, “‘Yochanan the Immerser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
In answer they said, “John the Baptizer, but others say ‘Elijah,’ while others that one of the ancient prophets has arisen.”
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Messiah of God.”
Then He said to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” In answer Peter said, “The Christ of God!”
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
But He strictly warned 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 the Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Then He said to everyone: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, 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.
Because whoever desires to ‘save’ his life will waste it, but whoever ‘wastes’ his life for my sake, he will save it.
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
Further, what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, yet wastes or forfeits his very self?
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.
Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of the Man will be ashamed of Him, whenever He comes in the glory—His, and the Father's, 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.”
However, I tell you truly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until 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.
Now about eight days after these words, it happened that He took along Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
And as He prayed, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing dazzling white.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
And then, two men started talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah;
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
they appeared in glory and were explaining His ‘departure’, that He was about to bring to fruition 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 those with him were heavy with sleep; but becoming fully awake, they saw His glory, and the two men who 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.
Then it happened: as they were parting from Him, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here” and “Should we make three shelters: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah?”—not knowing what he was saying.
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
But as he was saying this a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they became afraid as they entered 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 beloved Son. Listen to 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.
When the Voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. (They kept quiet and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.)
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Now it happened on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that a large crowd 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 then, a man from the crowd called out, saying: “Teacher, I beg you, look upon my son, for he is my only begotten.
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 oh, a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams, and it convulses him with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, destroying him!
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but 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.”
Then in answer Jesus said: “O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you (pl)? Bring your (sg) son here!”
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.
But while he was still coming the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back 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,
Everyone was amazed at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the 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 words sink into your ears, because the Son of the Man is about to be betrayed 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 did not understand this saying; indeed it was concealed from them, in order that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
46 An argument arose amongst them about which of them was the greatest.
Then an argument started among them as to which of them would be the greatest.
47 Yeshua, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
So Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart, took a little child and had him stand beside 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 receives this little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me. Further, he who is least among all of you, he will 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.”
Then John reacted by saying, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
50 Yeshua said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
So Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, because he who 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
Now it happened, as the days for His Ascension approached, that He 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.
and He sent messengers ahead of Him. And as they went, they entered 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.
But they did not receive Him, because He was heading for 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?”
Well, when His disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and consume them, just like 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 saying: “You do not know of what sort of spirit you are.
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
Further, the Son of the Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save.” 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.”
Now as they journeyed on the road, it happened that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow you wherever you go.”
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.”
So Jesus said to him, “The foxes have dens and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of the Man has no place to lay His head.”
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Then He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, permit 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 own dead, but you go and proclaim 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, “I will follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those 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.”
But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to ‘the plow’ and looks back is suitable for the Kingdom of God.”
