Luke 9:18-50

Third Millennium Bible w/ Apocrypha TMBA

18 And it came to pass as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him, and He asked them, saying, "Who say the people that I am?"

19 They answering said, "John the Baptist; but some say Elijah, and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again."

20 He said to them, "But who say ye that I am?" Peter answering said, "The Christ of God!"

21 And He strictly charged them and commanded them to tell no man this thing,

22 saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and scribes, and be slain and be raised the third day."

23 And He said to them all, "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it.

25 For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world, and lose himself or be cast away?

26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed when He shall come in His own glory and in His Father's and of the holy angels.

27 But I tell you in truth, there are some standing here that shall not taste of death till they see the Kingdom of God."

28 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, He took Peter and John and James, and went up onto a mountain to pray.

29 And as He prayed, the appearance of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and glistening.

30 And behold, there talked with Him two men, who were Moses and Elijah,

31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He should accomplish at Jerusalem.

32 But Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep. And when they were awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.

33 And it came to pass as they departed from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah" -- not knowing what he was saying.

34 While he thus spoke, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, "THIS IS MY BELOVED SON. HEAR HIM!"

36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

37 And it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met Him.

38 And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, "Master, I beseech Thee, look upon my son, for he is mine only child.

39 And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him so that he foameth again, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him.

40 And I besought Thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not."

41 And Jesus answering said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring thy son hither."

42 And as he was yet coming, the devil threw him down and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all the things which Jesus did, He said unto His disciples,

44 "Let these sayings sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men."

45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not; and they were afraid to ask Him about that saying.

46 Then there arose a reasoning among them as to which of them should be greatest.

47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child and set him by Him,

48 and said unto them, "Whosoever shall receive this child in My name receiveth Me; and whosoever shall receive Me receiveth Him that sent Me. For he that is least among you all, the same shall be great."

49 And John answered and said, "Master, we saw one casting out devils in Thy name, and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us."

50 And Jesus said unto him, "Forbid him not; for he that is not against us, is for us."

New International Version NIV

18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”

19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”

20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”

21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

22 And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.

25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?

26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.

29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.

30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus.

31 They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.

32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.”

36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

38 A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.

40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”

41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”

45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.

47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.

48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”

49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”

50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
