Then Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
2
and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.
3 And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
3
He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money—not even an extra tunic.
4 And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there and depart not from thence.
4
Whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.
5
Wherever they do not welcome you, as you are leaving that town shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."
6 And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing every where.
6
They departed and went through the villages, bringing the good news and curing diseases everywhere.
7 Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him. And he was in a doubt, because it was said
7
Now Herod the ruler heard about all that had taken place, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,
8 By some that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared: and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
8
by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.
9 And Herod said: John I have beheaded. But who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
9
Herod said, "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he tried to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.
10
On their return the apostles told Jesus all they had done. He took them with him and withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.
11 Which when the people knew, they followed him: and he received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and healed them who had need of healing.
11
When the crowds found out about it, they followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed to be cured.
12 Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that, going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.
12
The day was drawing to a close, and the twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a deserted place."
13 But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps, we should go and buy food for all this multitude.
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 are to go and buy food for all these people."
14 Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
14
For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
15 And they did so and made them all sit down.
15
They did so and made them all sit down.
16 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them: and he broke and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.
16
And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 And they did all eat and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.
17
And all ate and were filled. What was left over was gathered up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am?
18
Once when Jesus was praying alone, with only the disciples near him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
19 But they answered and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias: and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.
19
They answered, "John the Baptist; but others, Elijah; and still others, that one of the ancient prophets has arisen."
20 And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God.
20
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God."
21 But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man.
21
He sternly ordered and commanded them not to tell anyone,
22 Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes and be killed and the third day rise again.
22
saying, "The Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."
23 And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
23
Then he said to them all, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: for he that shall lose his life for my sake shall save it.
24
For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world and lose himself and cast away himself?
25
What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?
26 For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy angels.
26
Those who are ashamed of me and of my words, of them the Son of Man will be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
27 But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.
27
But truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."
28 And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and James and John and went up into a mountain to pray.
28
Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.
29 And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered and his raiment became white and glittering.
29
And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white.
30 And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,
30
Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him.
31 Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.
31
They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory and the two men that stood with him.
32
Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.
33 And it came to pass that, as they were departing from him, Peter saith to 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 Elias: not knowing what he said.
33
Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"—not knowing what he said.
34 And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them. And they were afraid when they entered into the cloud.
34
While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud.
35 And a voice came out of the cloud; saying: This is my beloved son. Hear him.
35
Then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!"
36 And whilst the voice was uttered Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen.
36
When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen.
37 And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude.
37
On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38 And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one.
38
Just then a man from the crowd shouted, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son; he is my only child.
39 And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him.
39
Suddenly a spirit seizes him, and all at once he shrieks. It convulses him until he foams at the mouth; it mauls him and will scarcely leave him.
40 And I desired thy disciples to cast him out: and they could not.
40
I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."
41 And Jesus, answering:, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.
41
Jesus answered, "You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."
42 And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down and tore him.
42
While he was coming, the demon dashed him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and cured the boy and restored him to his father.
43
And all were astounded at the greatness of God. While everyone was amazed at all that he was doing, he said to his disciples,
44 And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
44
"Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands."
45 But they understood not this word: and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.
45
But they did not understand this saying; its meaning was concealed from them, so that they could not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.
46
An argument arose among them as to which one of them was the greatest.
47 But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and set him by him,
47
But Jesus, aware of their inner thoughts, took a little child and put it by his side,
48 And said to 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 the lesser among you all, he is the greater.
48
and said to them, "Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me; for the least among all of you is the greatest."
49 And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name: and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.
49
John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us."
50 And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.
50
But Jesus said to him, "Do not stop him; for whoever is not against you is for you."
51 And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
51
When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 And he sent messengers before his face: and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
52
And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him;
53 And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.
53
but they did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?
54
When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"
55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: you know not of what spirit you are.
55
But he turned and rebuked them.
56 The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.
56
Then they went on to another village.
57 And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
57
As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58 Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
58
And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
59 But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and to bury my father.
59
To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
60 And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
60
But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
61 And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.
61
Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."
62 Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
62
Jesus said to him, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
