Luke 9

The Message Bible MSG

1 Jesus now called the Twelve and gave them authority and power to deal with all the demons and cure diseases.

2 He commissioned them to preach the news of God's kingdom and heal the sick.

3 He said, "Don't load yourselves up with equipment.

4 Keep it simple; you are the equipment. And no luxury inns - get a modest place and be content there until you leave.

5 If you're not welcomed, leave town. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and move on."

6 Commissioned, they left. They traveled from town to town telling the latest news of God, the Message, and curing people everywhere they went.

7 Herod, the ruler, heard of these goings on and didn't know what to think. There were people saying John had come back from the dead,

8 others that Elijah had appeared, still others that some prophet of long ago had shown up.

9 Herod said, "But I killed John - took off his head. So who is this that I keep hearing about?" Curious, he looked for a chance to see him in action.

10 The apostles returned and reported on what they had done. Jesus took them away, off by themselves, near the town called Bethsaida.

11 But the crowds got wind of it and followed. Jesus graciously welcomed them and talked to them about the kingdom of God. Those who needed healing, he healed.

12 As the day declined, the Twelve said, "Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the farms or villages around here and get a room for the night and a bite to eat. We're out in the middle of nowhere."

13 "You feed them," Jesus said.

14 (There were more than five thousand people in the crowd.)

15 They did what he said, and soon had everyone seated.

16 He took the five loaves and two fish, lifted his face to heaven in prayer, blessed, broke, and gave the bread and fish to the disciples to hand out to the crowd.

17 After the people had all eaten their fill, twelve baskets of leftovers were gathered up.

18 One time when Jesus was off praying by himself, his disciples nearby, he asked them, "What are the crowds saying about me, about who I am?"

19 They said, "John the Baptizer. Others say Elijah. Still others say that one of the prophets from long ago has come back."

20 He then asked, "And you - what are you saying about me? Who am I?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God."

21 Jesus then warned them to keep it quiet. They were to tell no one what Peter had said.

22 He went on, "It is necessary that the Son of Man proceed to an ordeal of suffering, be tried and found guilty by the religious leaders, high priests, and religion scholars, be killed, and on the third day be raised up alive."

23 Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat - I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how.

24 Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.

25 What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you?

26 If any of you is embarrassed with me and the way I'm leading you, know that the Son of Man will be far more embarrassed with you when he arrives in all his splendor in company with the Father and the holy angels. This isn't, you realize, pie in the sky by and by.

27 Some who have taken their stand right here are going to see it happen, see with their own eyes the kingdom of God."

28 About eight days after saying this, he climbed the mountain to pray, taking Peter, John, and James along.

29 While he was in prayer, the appearance of his face changed and his clothes became blinding white.

30 At once two men were there talking with him. They turned out to be Moses and Elijah -

31 and what a glorious appearance they made! They talked over his exodus, the one Jesus was about to complete in Jerusalem.

32 Meanwhile, Peter and those with him were slumped over in sleep. When they came to, rubbing their eyes, they saw Jesus in his glory and the two men standing with him.

33 When Moses and Elijah had left, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, this is a great moment! Let's build three memorials: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He blurted this out without thinking.

34 While he was babbling on like this, a light-radiant cloud enveloped them. As they found themselves buried in the cloud, they became deeply aware of God.

35 Then there was a voice out of the cloud: "This is my Son, the Chosen! Listen to him."

36 When the sound of the voice died away, they saw Jesus there alone. They were speechless. And they continued speechless, said not one thing to anyone during those days of what they had seen.

37 When they came down off the mountain the next day, a big crowd was there to meet them.

38 A man called from out of the crowd, "Please, please, Teacher, take a look at my son. He's my only child.

39 Often a spirit seizes him. Suddenly he's screaming, thrown into convulsions, his mouth foaming. And then it beats him black and blue before it leaves.

40 I asked your disciples to deliver him but they couldn't."

41 Jesus said, "What a generation! No sense of God! No focus to your lives! How many times do I have to go over these things? How much longer do I have to put up with this? Bring your son here."

42 While he was coming, the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into convulsions. Jesus stepped in, ordered the vile spirit gone, healed the boy, and handed him back to his father.

43 They all shook their heads in wonder, astonished at God's greatness, God's majestic greatness.

44 "Treasure and ponder each of these next words: The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into human hands."

45 They didn't get what he was saying. It was like he was speaking a foreign language and they couldn't make heads or tails of it. But they were embarrassed to ask him what he meant.

46 They started arguing over which of them would be most famous.

47 When Jesus realized how much this mattered to them, he brought a child to his side.

48 "Whoever accepts this child as if the child were me, accepts me," he said. "And whoever accepts me, accepts the One who sent me. You become great by accepting, not asserting. Your spirit, not your size, makes the difference."

49 John spoke up, "Master, we saw a man using your name to expel demons and we stopped him because he wasn't of our group."

50 Jesus said, "Don't stop him. If he's not an enemy, he's an ally."

51 When it came close to the time for his Ascension, he gathered up his courage and steeled himself for the journey to Jerusalem.

52 He sent messengers on ahead. They came to a Samaritan village to make arrangements for his hospitality.

53 But when the Samaritans learned that his destination was Jerusalem, they refused hospitality.

54 When the disciples James and John learned of it, they said, "Master, do you want us to call a bolt of lightning down out of the sky and incinerate them?"

55 Jesus turned on them: "Of course not!"

56 And they traveled on to another village.

57 On the road someone asked if he could go along. "I'll go with you, wherever," he said.

58 Jesus was curt: "Are you ready to rough it? We're not staying in the best inns, you know."

59 Jesus said to another, "Follow me." He said, "Certainly, but first excuse me for a couple of days, please. I have to make arrangements for my father's funeral."

60 Jesus refused. "First things first. Your business is life, not death. And life is urgent: Announce God's kingdom!"

61 Then another said, "I'm ready to follow you, Master, but first excuse me while I get things straightened out at home."

62 Jesus said, "No procrastination. No backward looks. You can't put God's kingdom off till tomorrow. Seize the day."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 convocatis autem duodecim apostolis dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia daemonia et ut languores curarent

2 et misit illos praedicare regnum Dei et sanare infirmos

3 et ait ad illos nihil tuleritis in via neque virgam neque peram neque panem neque pecuniam neque duas tunicas habeatis

4 et in quamcumque domum intraveritis ibi manete et inde ne exeatis

5 et quicumque non receperint vos exeuntes de civitate illa etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos

6 egressi autem circumibant per castella evangelizantes et curantes ubique

7 audivit autem Herodes tetrarcha omnia quae fiebant ab eo et haesitabat eo quod diceretur

8 a quibusdam quia Iohannes surrexit a mortuis a quibusdam vero quia Helias apparuit ab aliis autem quia propheta unus de antiquis surrexit

9 et ait Herodes Iohannem ego decollavi quis autem est iste de quo audio ego talia et quaerebat videre eum

10 et reversi apostoli narraverunt illi quaecumque fecerunt et adsumptis illis secessit seorsum in locum desertum qui est Bethsaida

11 quod cum cognovissent turbae secutae sunt illum et excepit illos et loquebatur illis de regno Dei et eos qui cura indigebant sanabat

12 dies autem coeperat declinare et accedentes duodecim dixerunt illi dimitte turbas ut euntes in castella villasque quae circa sunt devertant et inveniant escas quia hic in loco deserto sumus

13 ait autem ad illos vos date illis manducare at illi dixerunt non sunt nobis plus quam quinque panes et duo pisces nisi forte nos eamus et emamus in omnem hanc turbam escas

14 erant autem fere viri quinque milia ait autem ad discipulos suos facite illos discumbere per convivia quinquagenos

15 et ita fecerunt et discumbere fecerunt omnes

16 acceptis autem quinque panibus et duobus piscibus respexit in caelum et benedixit illis et fregit et distribuit discipulis suis ut ponerent ante turbas

17 et manducaverunt omnes et saturati sunt et sublatum est quod superfuit illis fragmentorum cofini duodecim

18 et factum est cum solus esset orans erant cum illo et discipuli et interrogavit illos dicens quem me dicunt esse turbae

19 at illi responderunt et dixerunt Iohannem Baptistam alii autem Heliam alii quia propheta unus de prioribus surrexit

20 dixit autem illis vos autem quem me esse dicitis respondens Simon Petrus dixit Christum Dei

21 at ille increpans illos praecepit ne cui dicerent hoc

22 dicens quia oportet Filium hominis multa pati et reprobari a senioribus et principibus sacerdotum et scribis et occidi et tertia die resurgere

23 dicebat autem ad omnes si quis vult post me venire abneget se ipsum et tollat crucem suam cotidie et sequatur me

24 qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere perdet illam nam qui perdiderit animam suam propter me salvam faciet illam

25 quid enim proficit homo si lucretur universum mundum se autem ipsum perdat et detrimentum sui faciat

26 nam qui me erubuerit et meos sermones hunc Filius hominis erubescet cum venerit in maiestate sua et Patris et sanctorum angelorum

27 dico autem vobis vere sunt aliqui hic stantes qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei

28 factum est autem post haec verba fere dies octo et adsumpsit Petrum et Iohannem et Iacobum et ascendit in montem ut oraret

29 et factum est dum oraret species vultus eius altera et vestitus eius albus refulgens

30 et ecce duo viri loquebantur cum illo erant autem Moses et Helias

31 visi in maiestate et dicebant excessum eius quem conpleturus erat in Hierusalem

32 Petrus vero et qui cum illo gravati erant somno et evigilantes viderunt maiestatem eius et duos viros qui stabant cum illo

33 et factum est cum discederent ab illo ait Petrus ad Iesum praeceptor bonum est nos hic esse et faciamus tria tabernacula unum tibi et unum Mosi et unum Heliae nesciens quid diceret

34 haec autem illo loquente facta est nubes et obumbravit eos et timuerunt intrantibus illis in nubem

35 et vox facta est de nube dicens hic est Filius meus electus ipsum audite

36 et dum fieret vox inventus est Iesus solus et ipsi tacuerunt et nemini dixerunt in illis diebus quicquam ex his quae viderant

37 factum est autem in sequenti die descendentibus illis de monte occurrit illi turba multa

38 et ecce vir de turba exclamavit dicens magister obsecro te respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi

39 et ecce spiritus adprehendit illum et subito clamat et elidit et dissipat eum cum spuma et vix discedit dilanians eum

40 et rogavi discipulos tuos ut eicerent illum et non potuerunt

41 respondens autem Iesus dixit o generatio infidelis et perversa usquequo ero apud vos et patiar vos adduc huc filium tuum

42 et cum accederet elisit illum daemonium et dissipavit

43 et increpavit Iesus spiritum inmundum et sanavit puerum et reddidit illum patri eius

44 stupebant autem omnes in magnitudine Dei omnibusque mirantibus in omnibus quae faciebat dixit ad discipulos suos ponite vos in cordibus vestris sermones istos Filius enim hominis futurum est ut tradatur in manus hominum

45 at illi ignorabant verbum istud et erat velatum ante eos ut non sentirent illud et timebant interrogare eum de hoc verbo

46 intravit autem cogitatio in eos quis eorum maior esset

47 at Iesus videns cogitationes cordis illorum adprehendens puerum statuit eum secus se

48 et ait illis quicumque susceperit puerum istum in nomine meo me recipit et quicumque me recipit recipit eum qui me misit nam qui minor est inter omnes vos hic maior est

49 respondens autem Iohannes dixit praeceptor vidimus quendam in nomine tuo eicientem daemonia et prohibuimus eum quia non sequitur nobiscum

50 et ait ad illum Iesus nolite prohibere qui enim non est adversum vos pro vobis est

51 factum est autem dum conplerentur dies adsumptionis eius et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret Hierusalem

52 et misit nuntios ante conspectum suum et euntes intraverunt in civitatem Samaritanorum ut pararent illi

53 et non receperunt eum quia facies eius erat euntis Hierusalem

54 cum vidissent autem discipuli eius Iacobus et Iohannes dixerunt Domine vis dicimus ut ignis descendat de caelo et consumat illos

55 et conversus increpavit illos

56 et abierunt in aliud castellum

57 factum est autem ambulantibus illis in via dixit quidam ad illum sequar te quocumque ieris

58 et ait illi Iesus vulpes foveas habent et volucres caeli nidos Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinet

59 ait autem ad alterum sequere me ille autem dixit Domine permitte mihi primum ire sepelire patrem meum

60 dixitque ei Iesus sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos tu autem vade adnuntia regnum Dei

61 et ait alter sequar te Domine sed primum permitte mihi renuntiare his qui domi sunt

62 ait ad illum Iesus nemo mittens manum suam in aratrum et aspiciens retro aptus est regno Dei
