Luke 9
9
1He called the twelve#9:1 TR reads āhis twelve disciplesā instead of āthe twelveā together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2He sent them out to preach Godās Kingdom and to heal the sick. 3He said to them, āTake nothing for your journeyāno staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Donāt have two tunics each. 4Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there. 5As many as donāt receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.ā
6They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
7Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, 8and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 9Herod said, āI beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?ā He sought to see him.
10The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done.
He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of#9:10 NU omits āa desert region ofā. a city called Bethsaida. 11But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of Godās Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing. 12The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, āSend the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.ā
13But he said to them, āYou give them something to eat.ā
They said, āWe have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.ā 14For they were about five thousand men.
He said to his disciples, āMake them sit down in groups of about fifty each.ā 15They did so, and made them all sit down. 16He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, āWho do the multitudes say that I am?ā
19They answered, āāJohn the Baptizer,ā but others say, āElijah,ā and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.ā
20He said to them, āBut who do you say that I am?ā
Peter answered, āThe Christ of God.ā
21But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22saying, āThe Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.ā
23He said to all, āIf anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross,#9:23 TR, NU add ādailyā and follow me. 24For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it. 25For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self? 26For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels. 27But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see Godās Kingdom.ā
28About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray. 29As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling. 30Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah, 31who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure,#9:31 literally, āexodusā which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him. 33As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, āMaster, it is good for us to be here. Letās make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,ā not knowing what he said.
34While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud. 35A voice came out of the cloud, saying, āThis is my beloved Son. Listen to him!ā 36When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. 38Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, āTeacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born#9:38 The phrase āonly bornā is from the Greek word āĪ¼ĪæĪ½ĪæĪ³ĪµĪ½Ī·ā, which is sometimes translated āonly begottenā or āone and onlyā. child. 39Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely. 40I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldnāt.ā
41Jesus answered, āFaithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.ā
42While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43They were all astonished at the majesty of God.
But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44āLet these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.ā 45But they didnāt understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest. 47Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side, 48and said to them, āWhoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.ā
49John answered, āMaster, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesnāt follow with us.ā
50Jesus said to him, āDonāt forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.ā
51It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem 52and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him. 53They didnāt receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem. 54When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, āLord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?ā
55But he turned and rebuked them, āYou donāt know of what kind of spirit you are. 56For the Son of Man didnāt come to destroy menās lives, but to save them.ā
They went to another village. 57As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, āI want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.ā
58Jesus said to him, āThe foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.ā
59He said to another, āFollow me!ā
But he said, āLord, allow me first to go and bury my father.ā
60But Jesus said to him, āLeave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce Godās Kingdom.ā
61Another also said, āI want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.ā
62But Jesus said to him, āNo one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for Godās Kingdom.ā
