The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Calling together the Twelve, Yeshua gave them power and authority to expel all the demons and to cure diseases;

2 and he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal.

3 He said to them, "Take nothing for your trip -- neither a walking stick nor a pack, neither bread nor money; and don't have two shirts.

4 Whatever house you enter, stay there and go out from there.

5 Wherever they don't welcome you, shake the dust from your feet when you leave that town as a warning to them."

6 They set out and went through village after village, healing and announcing the Good News everywhere.

7 Herod the governor heard about all that was going on and was perplexed, because it was said by some that Yochanan had been raised from the dead,

8 by others that Eliyahu had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.

9 Herod said, "I had Yochanan beheaded, so who is this about whom I keep hearing such things?" And he began trying to see him.

10 On their return, the emissaries detailed to Yeshua what they had done. Then, taking them with him, he withdrew by himself to a town called Beit-Tzaidah.

11 But the crowds found out and followed him. Welcoming them, he went on to speak to them about the Kingdom of God and to heal those who needed to be healed.

12 The day began to draw to a close. The Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away, so that they can go and get lodging and food in the towns and farms around here, because where we are is a remote place."

13 But he said to them, "Give them something to eat, yourselves!" They said, "We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish -- unless we ourselves are supposed to go and buy food for all these people!"

14 (For there were about five thousand men.) He said to his talmidim, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."

15 They did what he told them and had them all sit down.

16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish and, looking up toward heaven, made a b'rakhah, broke the loaves and began giving them to the talmidim to distribute to the crowd.

17 Everyone ate as much as he wanted; and they took up what was left over, twelve baskets full of broken pieces.

18 Once when Yeshua was praying in private, his talmidim were with him; and he asked them, "Who are the crowds saying I am?"

19 They answered, "Yochanan the Immerser; but others say Eliyahu, and others that some prophet of long ago has risen."

20 "But you," he said to them, "who do you say I am?" Kefa answered, "The Mashiach of God!"

21 However, he, warning them, ordered them to tell this to no one,

22 adding, "The Son of Man has to endure much suffering and be rejected by the elders, the head cohanim and the Torah-teachers; and he has to be put to death; but on the third day, he has to be raised to life."

23 Then to everyone he said, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him say `No' to himself, take up his execution-stake daily and keep following me.

24 For whoever tries to save his own life will destroy it, but whoever destroys his life on my account will save it.

25 What will it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but destroys or forfeits his own life?

26 For if someone is ashamed of me and of what I say, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy angels.

27 I tell you the truth, there are some people standing here who will not experience death until they see the Kingdom of God."

28 About a week after Yeshua said these things, he took Kefa, Yochanan and Ya`akov with him and went up to the hill country to pray.

29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed; and his clothing became gleaming white.

30 Suddenly there were two men talking with him -- Moshe and Eliyahu!

31 They appeared in glorious splendor and spoke of his exodus, which he was soon to accomplish in Yerushalayim.

32 Kefa and those with him had been sound asleep; but on becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

33 As the men were leaving Yeshua, Kefa said to him, not knowing what he was saying, "It's good that we're here, Rabbi! Let's put up three shelters -- one for you, one for Moshe and one for Eliyahu."

34 As he spoke, a cloud came and enveloped them. They were frightened as they entered the cloud;

35 and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to him!"

36 When the voice spoke, Yeshua was alone once more. They kept quiet -- at that time they told no one anything of what they had seen.

37 The next day, as they were coming down out of the hill country, a large crowd met him.

38 Suddenly a man in the crowd shouted, "Rabbi! Look at my son, I beg you, because he's my only child!

39 What happens is this: a spirit seizes him, and suddenly it lets out a shriek and throws him into convulsions with foaming at the mouth; and only with difficulty will it leave him. It's destroying him!

40 I asked your talmidim to drive the spirit out, but they couldn't."

41 "Perverted people, without any trust!" Yeshua answered, "How long do I have to be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."

42 Even as the boy was coming, the demon dashed him to the ground and threw him into a fit. But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

43 All were struck with amazement at the greatness of God. While they were all marvelling at everything Yeshua was doing, he said to his talmidim,

44 "Listen very carefully to what I'm going to say. The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."

45 But they didn't understand what he meant by this. It had been concealed from them so that they would not grasp its meaning, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

46 An argument arose among the talmidim as to which of them might be the greatest.

47 But Yeshua, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, took a child, stood him beside himself,

48 and said to them, "Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the One who sent me. In other words, the one who is least among you all -- this is the one who is great."

49 Yochanan responded, "Rabbi, we saw someone expelling demons in your name; and we stopped him because he doesn't follow you along with us."

50 Yeshua said to him, "Don't stop such people, because whoever isn't against you is for you."

51 As the time approached for him to be taken up into heaven, he made his decision to set out for Yerushalayim.

52 He sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village in Shomron to make preparations for him.

53 However, the people there would not let him stay, because his destination was Yerushalayim.

54 When the talmidim Ya`akov and Yochanan saw this, they said, "Sir, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to destroy them?"

55 But he turned and rebuked them.

56 And they went on to another village.

57 As they were traveling on the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

58 Yeshua answered him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds flying about have nests, but the Son of Man has no home of his own."

59 To another he said, "Follow me!" but the man replied, "Sir, first let me go away and bury my father."

60 Yeshua said, "Let the dead bury their own dead; you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God!"

61 Yet another said, "I will follow you, sir, but first let me say good-by to the people at home."

62 To him Yeshua said, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and keeps looking back is fit to serve in the Kingdom of God."

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 And getting the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all evil spirits and over diseases, to make them well.

2 And he sent them out to be preachers of the kingdom of God, and to make well those who were ill.

3 And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, no stick or bag or bread or money, and do not take two coats.

4 And if you go into a house, let that house be your resting-place till you go away.

5 And if any people will not take you in, when you go away from that town, put off its dust from your feet for a witness against them.

6 And they went away, journeying through all the towns, preaching the good news and making people free from diseases in all places.

7 Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead;

8 And by some, that Elijah had come; and by others, that one of the old prophets had come back to life.

9 And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

10 And the twelve, when they came back, gave him an account of what they had done. And he took them with him and went away from the people to a town named Beth-saida.

11 But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it.

12 And the day went on; and the twelve came to him and said, Send these people away so that they may go into the towns and the country round about and get resting-places and food for themselves, for we are in a waste place.

13 But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people.

14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group.

15 And they did so, and made them all be seated.

16 And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.

17 And they all took the food and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits which were over, twelve baskets full.

18 And it came about that when he was in prayer, by himself, and the disciples were with him, he put a question to them, saying, Who do the people say I am?

19 And they, answering, said, John the Baptist; but others say Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has come back.

20 And he said, But who do you say that I am? And Peter, answering, said, The Christ of God.

21 But he gave them special orders, not to say this to any man;

22 Saying, The Son of man will undergo much and be put on one side by the rulers and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

23 And he said to them all, If any man has a desire to come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross every day, and come after me.

24 For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it.

25 For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?

26 For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

27 But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

28 And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.

29 And while he was in prayer, his face was changed and his clothing became white and shining.

30 And two men, Moses and Elijah, were talking with him;

31 Who were seen in glory and were talking of his death which was about to take place in Jerusalem.

32 Now Peter and those who were with him were overcome with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were with him.

33 And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.

34 And while he said these things, the shade of a cloud came over them, and they were full of fear when they went into the cloud.

35 And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.

36 And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.

37 And on the day after, when they came down from the mountain, a great band of people came to him.

38 And a man from among them, crying out, said, Master, I make a request to you, give a thought to my son, for he is my only child:

39 And see, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he gives a cry, twisted in pain and streaming at the lips, and when it goes away from him at last, he is marked as from blows.

40 And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.

41 And Jesus said, O generation without faith and false in heart, how long will I have to be with you and put up with you? let your son come here.

42 And while he was coming, he was pushed violently down and twisted by the evil spirit. But Jesus gave sharp orders to the unclean spirit, and made the boy well, and gave him back to his father.

43 And they were full of wonder at the great power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,

44 Let these words go deep into your ears, for the Son of man will be given up into the hands of men.

45 But this saying was not clear to them and its sense was kept secret from them so that they were not able to see it: and they had fear of questioning him about it.

46 Now there was a discussion among them about which of them would be the greatest.

47 But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their hearts, he took a small child and put him by his side,

48 And said to them, Whoever gives honour to this child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour to him who sent me: for whoever is least among you all, that man is great.

49 And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.

50 But Jesus said to him, Let him do it, for he who is not against you is for you.

51 And it came about that when the days were near for him to be taken up, his face was turned to go to Jerusalem,

52 And he sent men before: and they came to a small town of Samaria to make ready for him.

53 But they would not have him there, because he was clearly going to Jerusalem.

54 And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord, may we send fire from heaven and put an end to them?

55 But turning round he said sharp words to them.

56 And they went to another small town.

57 And when they were on the way, a certain man said to him, I will come after you wherever you go.

58 And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have resting-places, but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

59 And he said to another, Come after me. But he said, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.

60 But he said to him, Let the dead take care of their dead; it is for you to go and give news of the kingdom of God.

61 And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.

62 But Jesus said, No man, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is good enough for the kingdom of God.
