Luke 9

CHAPTER 9 Authority Given to the Twelve Disciples

1 And having called together the twelve disciples, he gave to them power and authority over all the demons, and [²diseases ¹to cure]. 2 And he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal the ones being weak. 3 And he said to them, [²nothing ¹Take] for the way! neither rods, nor provision bag, nor bread, nor money, nor [²up to ³two ⁴inner garments ¹to have]. 4 And into which ever house you should enter, there abide! And from there go forth! 5 And as many as should not have received you, in going forth from that city, even the dust of your feet brush off for a testimony unto them! 6 And coming forth, they went through the towns, announcing good news and curing everywhere. 7 [⁵heard ¹And ²Herod ³the ⁴tetrarch ⁷the things ⁸taking place ⁹by ¹⁰him ⁶all]; and he was perplexed because of it being said by some that, John has been raised from the dead, 8 [²by ³some ¹and] that, Elijah was appeared; and others that, A prophet, one of the ancient ones rose up. 9 And Herod said, John I beheaded, but who is this concerning of which I hear such? And he sought to see him. 10 And returning, the apostles described to him as much as they did. And taking them to himself, he retreated in private into [²place ¹a desolate] of a city being called Bethsaida.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

11 But the multitudes, having known, followed him. And having received them, he spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God; and the ones [²need ¹having] of treatment he healed. 12 But the day began to decline; [⁴having come forward ¹and ²the ³twelve], said to him, Dismiss the multitude! that going forth into the round about towns and fields they should rest up, and should find provisions; for [²here ³in ⁴a desolate ⁵place ¹we are]. 13 And he said to them, [²give ³to them ¹You] to eat! And they said, There are not with us more than five bread loaves and two fishes, unless having gone we should buy [²for ³all ⁴this people ¹foods]. 14 For there were about [²men ¹five thousand]. And he said to his disciples, Lay them down in resting-places by fifties. 15 And they did so, and they laid them [²down together ¹all]. 16 And having taken the five bread loaves and the two fishes, looking up into the heaven, he blessed them, and broke off in pieces, and gave to the disciples to place near to the multitude. 17 And they ate, and all were filled. And was taken up the abounding portion to them of pieces -- [²hampers ¹twelve]. 18 And it came to pass in his being praying alone, [³were with ⁴him ¹the ²disciples], and he questioned them, saying, Whom do [⁴me ³say ¹the ²multitudes] to be? 19 And they answering said, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others that, A certain prophet of the ancients rose up. 20 And he said to them, But you, whom do you say me to be? And answering Peter said, The Christ of God. 21 And he having reproached them, exhorted them [²no one ¹to tell] this, 22 having said that, It is necessary for the son of man [²many things ¹to suffer], and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.

Requirements of Discipleship

23 And he said to all, If any wants [²after ³me ¹to come], let him totally reject himself, and lift his cross by day, and follow me! 24 For who ever should want [²his life ¹to preserve] shall lose it; but who ever should lose his life because of me, this one shall preserve it. 25 For what benefits a man, having gained the [²world ¹whole], [³himself ¹but ²destroying] or suffering loss? 26 For who ever is ashamed of me and my words, this one the son of man will be ashamed of whenever he should come in his glory, and of the father, and of the holy angels. 27 But I say to you truly, there are some of the ones here standing who in no way shall taste death until whenever they should see the kingdom of God.

Jesus is Transformed

28 And it came to pass after these words, about [²days ¹eight]; and having taken with himself Peter and John and James, he ascended into the mountain to pray. 29 And it came to pass in his praying, the form of his person became another, and his clothes [²white ¹flashing]. 30 And behold, [²men ¹two] conversed together with him, who were Moses and Elijah. 31 The ones appearing in glory spoke of his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem. 32 And Peter and the ones with him were being weighed down with sleep; and staying awake they beheld his glory, and the two men standing with him. 33 And it came to pass in their parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; for we should make [²tents ¹three] -- one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; not knowing what he says. 34 [⁴these things ¹And ²of his ³saying] there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid in the [²of those ones ¹entering] into the cloud. 35 And a voice came from out of the cloud, saying, This is my son the beloved, of him hear! 36 And in the [²taking place ¹voice], Jesus was found alone. And they were quiet, and to no one they reported in those days anything of what they had seen.

The Demoniac Son Healed

37 And it came to pass on the next day, of their going down from the mountain, there met with him [²multitude ¹a great]. 38 And behold, a man from the multitude yelled out, saying, Teacher, I beseech you to look upon my son! for he is an only child to me. 39 And behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it throws him into a spasm with foam, and hardly retreats from him breaking him. 40 And I beseeched your disciples that they should cast it out, and they were not able. 41 And responding Jesus said, O [²generation ¹unbelieving] and being perverted, until how long will I be with you, and endure you? Bring [²here ¹your son]! 42 And while yet during his coming forward, [³tore ⁴him ¹the ²demon] and flailed about; [³gave reproach ¹and ²Jesus] to the [²spirit ¹unclean], and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

Jesus Foretells His Death

43 [³were overwhelmed ¹And ²all] at the magnificence of God. And as all were wondering over all what Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44 You put into your ears these words! The son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men. 45 And they knew not this saying, and it was being covered up from them, that they should not perceive it; and they feared to ask him concerning this saying. 46 And there entered an arguing among them -- the one who ever may be the greater of them. 47 And Jesus knowing the arguing of their hearts, having taken hold of a child, he set it by himself. 48 And he said to them, Who ever should receive this child in my name, receives me; and who ever receives me, receives the one sending me. For the lesser [²among ³all ⁴you ¹existing], this one will be great. 49 And responding John said, Master, we beheld one [⁴by ⁵your name ¹casting out ²the ³demons], and we restrained him, for he does not follow with us. 50 And [²said ³to ⁴him ¹Jesus], Restrain not! for the one which is not against us [²for ³us ¹is].

A Samaritan Town Rejects Jesus

51 And it came to pass in the filling up the days of his being lifted up, and he [²his face ¹firmly fixed] to go into Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone, they entered into a town of Samaritans, so as to prepare for him. 53 And they did not receive him, for his face was as going to Jerusalem. 54 And knowing, his disciples James and John said, O Lord, do you want we should tell fire to descend from heaven and consume them as also Elijah did? 55 And turning, he gave reproach to them, and said, You do not know of what spirit you are. 56 For the son of man came not [²lives ³of men ¹to destroy], but to preserve. And they went unto another town.

Others Called to Discipleship

57 And it came to pass in their going in the way, [²said ¹a certain one] to him, I will follow you where ever you should go, O Lord. 58 And [²said ³to him ¹Jesus], The foxes [²dens ¹have], and the birds of the heaven shelters, but the son of man does not have where [²the ³head ¹he should lean]. 59 And he said to another, Follow me! And he said, O Lord, commit it to me! having gone forth first to bury my father. 60 [³said ¹And ⁴to him ²Jesus], Let the dead bury their own dead! but you going forth declare the kingdom of God! 61 And said also another, I will follow you, O Lord, but first commit to me to dismiss the ones in my house. 62 [³said ¹And ⁴to ⁵him ²Jesus], No one having put his hand upon a plow, and looking at the things behind, is fit for the kingdom of God.
