1. After Jesus called the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,
|
1. Then G1161 he called his twelve disciples together G4779 G848 G1427 G3101 , and gave G1325 them G846 power G1411 and G2532 authority G1849 over G1909 all G3956 devils G1140 , and G2532 to cure G2323 diseases G3554 .
|
|
2. and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
|
2. And G2532 he sent G649 them G846 to preach G2784 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 , and G2532 to heal G2390 the G3588 sick G770 .
|
|
3. He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey� no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, and do not take an extra tunic.
|
3. And G2532 he said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 , Take G142 nothing G3367 for G1519 your journey G3598 , neither G3383 staves G4464 , nor G3383 scrip G4082 , neither G3383 bread G740 , neither G3383 money G694 ; neither G3383 have G2192 two G1417 coats G5509 apiece G303 .
|
|
4. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave the area.
|
4. And G2532 whatsoever G3739 G302 house G3614 ye enter G1525 into G1519 , there G1563 abide G3306 , and G2532 thence G1564 depart G1831 .
|
|
5. Wherever they do not receive you, as you leave that town, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."
|
5. And G2532 whosoever G3745 G302 will not G3361 receive G1209 you G5209 , when ye go G1831 out of G575 that G1565 city G4172 , shake off G660 the G3588 very G2532 dust G2868 from G575 your G5216 feet G4228 for G1519 a testimony G3142 against G1909 them G846 .
|
|
6. Then they departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
|
6. And G1161 they departed G1831 , and went G1330 through G2596 the G3588 towns G2968 , preaching the gospel G2097 , and G2532 healing G2323 everywhere G3837 .
|
|
7. Now Herod the tetrarch heard about everything that was happening, and he was thoroughly perplexed, because some people were saying that John had been raised from the dead,
|
7. Now G1161 Herod G2264 the G3588 tetrarch G5076 heard G191 of all G3956 that was done G1096 by G5259 him G846 : and G2532 he was perplexed G1280 , because that it was said G3004 of G5259 some G5100 , that G3754 John G2491 was risen G1453 from G1537 the dead G3498 ;
|
|
8. while others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.
|
8. And G1161 of G5259 some G5100 , that G3754 Elijah G2243 had appeared G5316 ; and G1161 of others G243 , that G3754 one G1520 of the G3588 old G744 prophets G4396 was risen again G450 .
|
|
9. Herod said, "I had John beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus.
|
9. And G2532 Herod G2264 said G2036 , John G2491 have I G1473 beheaded G607 : but G1161 who G5101 is G2076 this G3778 , of G4012 whom G3739 I G1473 hear G191 such things G5108 ? And G2532 he desired G2212 to see G1492 him G846 .
|
|
10. When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.
|
10. And G2532 the G3588 apostles G652 , when they were returned G5290 , told G1334 him G846 all that G3745 they had done G4160 . And G2532 he took G3880 them G846 , and went aside G5298 privately G2596 G2398 into G1519 a desert G2048 place G5117 belonging to the city G4172 called G2564 Bethsaida G966 .
|
|
11. But when the crowds found out, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing.
|
11. And G1161 the G3588 people G3793 , when they knew G1097 it, followed G190 him G846 : and G2532 he received G1209 them G846 , and spake G2980 unto them G846 of G4012 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 , and G2532 healed G2390 them that had G2192 need G5532 of healing G2322 .
|
|
12. Now the day began to draw to a close, so the twelve came and said to Jesus, "Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and food, because we are in an isolated place."
|
12. And G1161 when the G3588 day G2250 began G756 to wear away G2827 , then G1161 came G4334 the G3588 twelve G1427 , and said G2036 unto him G846 , Send the multitude away G630 G3588 G3793 , that G2443 they may go G565 into G1519 the G3588 towns G2968 and G2532 country G68 round about G2945 , and lodge G2647 , and G2532 get G2147 victuals G1979 : for G3754 we are G2070 here G5602 in G1722 a desert G2048 place G5117 .
|
|
13. But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They replied, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish� unless we go and buy food for all these people."
|
13. But G1161 he said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 , Give G1325 ye G5210 them G846 to eat G5315 . And G1161 they G3588 said G2036 , We G2254 have G1526 no G3756 more G4119 but G2228 five G4002 loaves G740 and G2532 two G1417 fishes G2486 ; except G1509 we G2249 should go G4198 and buy G59 meat G1033 for G1519 all G3956 this G5126 people G2992 .
|
|
14. (Now about five thousand men were there.) Then he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
|
14. For G1063 they were G2258 about G5616 five thousand G4000 men G435 . And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 to G4314 his G848 disciples G3101 , Make them G846 sit down G2625 by G303 fifties G4004 in a company G2828 .
|
|
15. So they did as Jesus directed, and the people all sat down.
|
15. And G2532 they did G4160 so G3779 , and G2532 made them all G537 sit down G347 .
|
|
16. Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke them. He gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
|
16. Then G1161 he took G2983 the G3588 five G4002 loaves G740 and G2532 the G3588 two G1417 fishes G2486 , and looking up G308 to G1519 heaven G3772 , he blessed G2127 them G846 , and G2532 broke G2622 , and G2532 gave G1325 to the G3588 disciples G3101 to set before G3908 the G3588 multitude G3793 .
|
|
17. They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up� twelve baskets of broken pieces.
|
17. And G2532 they did eat G5315 , and G2532 were all G3956 filled G5526 : and G2532 there was taken up G142 of fragments G2801 that remained G4052 to them G846 twelve G1427 baskets G2894 .
|
|
18. Once when Jesus was praying by himself, and his disciples were nearby, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
|
18. And G2532 it came to pass G1096 , as he G846 was G1511 alone G2651 praying G4336 , his disciples G3101 were with G4895 him G846 : and G2532 he asked G1905 them G846 , saying G3004 , Whom G5101 say G3004 the G3588 people G3793 that I G3165 am G1511 ?
|
|
19. They answered, "John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others that one of the prophets of long ago has risen."
|
19. G1161 They G3588 answering G611 said G2036 , John G2491 the G3588 Baptist G910 ; but G1161 some G243 say, Elijah G2243 ; and G1161 others G243 say, that G3754 one G5100 of the G3588 old G744 prophets G4396 is risen again G450 .
|
|
20. Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
|
20. G1161 He said G2036 unto them G846 , But G1161 whom G5101 say G3004 ye G5210 that I G3165 am G1511 G1161 ? Peter G4074 answering G611 said G2036 , The G3588 Christ G5547 of God G2316 .
|
|
21. But he forcefully commanded them not to tell this to anyone,
|
21. And G1161 he G3588 straitly charged G2008 them G846 , and commanded G3853 them to tell G2036 no man G3367 that thing G5124 ;
|
|
22. saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."
|
22. Saying G2036 , The G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 must G1163 suffer G3958 many things G4183 , and G2532 be rejected G593 of G575 the G3588 elders G4245 and G2532 chief priests G749 and G2532 scribes G1122 , and G2532 be slain G615 , and G2532 be raised G1453 the G3588 third G5154 day G2250 .
|
|
23. Then he said to them all, "If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
|
23. And G1161 he said G3004 to G4314 them all G3956 , If G1487 any G5100 man will G2309 come G2064 after G3694 me G3450 , let him deny G533 himself G1438 , and G2532 take up G142 his G848 cross G4716 daily G2596 G2250 , and G2532 follow G190 me G3427 .
|
|
24. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
|
24. For G1063 whosoever G3739 G302 will G2309 save G4982 his G848 life G5590 shall lose G622 it G846 : but G1161 whosoever G3739 G302 will lose G622 his G848 life G5590 for my sake G1752 G1700 , the same G3778 shall save G4982 it G846 .
|
|
25. For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
|
25. For G1063 what G5101 is a man G444 advantaged G5623 , if he gain G2770 the G3588 whole G3650 world G2889 , and G1161 lose G622 himself G1438 , or G2228 be cast away G2210 ?
|
|
26. For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
|
26. For G1063 whosoever G3739 G302 shall be ashamed G1870 of me G3165 and G2532 of my G1699 words G3056 , of him G5126 shall the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 be ashamed G1870 , when G3752 he shall come G2064 in G1722 his own G848 glory G1391 , and G2532 in his Father G3962 's, and G2532 of the G3588 holy G40 angels G32 .
|
|
27. But I tell you most certainly, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God."
|
27. But G1161 I tell G3004 you G5213 of a truth G230 , there be G1526 some G5100 standing G2476 here G5602 , which G3739 shall not G3364 taste G1089 of death G2288 , till G2193 G302 they see G1492 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 .
|
|
28. Now about eight days after these sayings, Jesus took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray.
|
28. And G1161 it came to pass G1096 about G5616 eight G3638 days G2250 after G3326 these G5128 sayings G3056 , he G2532 took G3880 Peter G4074 and G2532 John G2491 and G2532 James G2385 , and went up G305 into G1519 a mountain G3735 to pray G4336 .
|
|
29. As he was praying, the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became very bright, a brilliant white.
|
29. And G2532 as G1096 he G846 prayed G4336 , the G3588 fashion G1491 of his G846 countenance G4383 was altered G2087 , and G2532 his G846 raiment G2441 was white G3022 and glistering G1823 .
|
|
30. Then two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with him.
|
30. And G2532 , behold G2400 , there talked with G4814 him G846 two G1417 men G444 , which G3748 were G2258 Moses G3475 and G2532 Elijah G2243 :
|
|
31. They appeared in glorious splendor and spoke about his departure that he was about to carry out at Jerusalem.
|
31. Who G3739 appeared G3700 in G1722 glory G1391 , and spake G3004 of his G846 decease G1841 which G3739 he should G3195 accomplish G4137 at G1722 Jerusalem G2419 .
|
|
32. Now Peter and those with him were quite sleepy, but as they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
|
32. But G1161 Peter G4074 and G2532 they G3588 that were with G4862 him G846 were G2258 heavy G916 with sleep G5258 : and G1161 when they were awake G1235 , they saw G1492 his G846 glory G1391 , and G2532 the G3588 two G1417 men G444 that stood with G4921 him G846 .
|
|
33. Then as the men were starting to leave, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah"� not knowing what he was saying.
|
33. And G2532 it came to pass G1096 , as they G846 departed G1316 from G575 him G846 , Peter G4074 said G2036 unto G4314 Jesus G2424 , Master G1988 , it is G2076 good G2570 for us G2248 to be G1511 here G5602 : and G2532 let us make G4160 three G5140 tabernacles G4633 ; one G3391 for thee G4671 , and G2532 one G3391 for Moses G3475 , and G2532 one G3391 for Elijah G2243 : not G3361 knowing G1492 what G3739 he said G3004 .
|
|
34. As he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
|
34. While G1161 he G846 thus G5023 spake G3004 , there came G1096 a cloud G3507 , and G2532 overshadowed G1982 them G846 : and G1161 they feared G5399 as they G1565 entered G1525 into G1519 the G3588 cloud G3507 .
|
|
35. Then a voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him!"
|
35. And G2532 there came G1096 a voice G5456 out of G1537 the G3588 cloud G3507 , saying G3004 , This G3778 is G2076 my G3450 beloved G27 Son G5207 : hear G191 him G846 .
|
|
36. After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. So they kept silent and told no one at that time anything of what they had seen.
|
36. And G2532 when the G3588 voice G5456 was past G1096 , Jesus G2424 was found G2147 alone G3441 . And G2532 they G846 kept it close G4601 , and G2532 told G518 no man G3762 in G1722 those G1565 days G2250 any of those things G3762 which G3739 they had seen G3708 .
|
|
37. Now on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
|
37. And G1161 it came to pass G1096 , that on G1722 the G3588 next G1836 day G2250 , when they G846 were come down G2718 from G575 the G3588 hill G3735 , much G4183 people G3793 met G4876 him G846 .
|
|
38. Then a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son� he is my only child!
|
38. And G2532 , behold G2400 , a man G435 of G575 the G3588 company G3793 cried out G310 , saying G3004 , Master G1320 , I beseech G1189 thee G4675 , look G1914 upon G1909 my G3450 son G5207 : for G3754 he is G2076 mine G3427 only child G3439 .
|
|
39. A spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions and causes him to foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone, torturing him severely.
|
39. And G2532 , lo G2400 , a spirit G4151 taketh G2983 him G846 , and G2532 he suddenly G1810 crieth out G2896 ; and G2532 it teareth G4682 him G846 that he foameth again G3326 G876 , and G2532 bruising G4937 him G846 hardly G3425 departeth G672 from G575 him G846 .
|
|
40. I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not do so."
|
40. And G2532 I besought G1189 thy G4675 disciples G3101 to G2443 cast him out G1544 G846 ; and G2532 they could G1410 not G3756 .
|
|
41. Jesus answered, "You unbelieving and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here."
|
41. And G1161 Jesus G2424 answering G611 said G2036 , O G5599 faithless G571 and G2532 perverse G1294 generation G1074 , how long G2193 G4219 shall I be G2071 with G4314 you G5209 , and G2532 suffer G430 you G5216 ? Bring G4317 thy G4675 son G5207 hither G5602 .
|
|
42. As the boy was approaching, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
|
42. And G1161 as he G846 was yet G2089 a coming G4334 , the G3588 devil G1140 threw him down G4486 G846 , and G2532 tore G4952 him. And G1161 Jesus G2424 rebuked G2008 the G3588 unclean G169 spirit G4151 , and G2532 healed G2390 the G3588 child G3816 , and G2532 delivered him again G591 G846 to his G846 father G3962 .
|
|
43. Then they were all astonished at the mighty power of God. But while the entire crowd was amazed at everything Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,
|
43. And G1161 they were all G3956 amazed G1605 at G1909 the G3588 mighty power G3168 of God G2316 . But G1161 while they wondered G2296 every one G3956 at G1909 all things G3956 which G3739 Jesus G2424 did G4160 , he said G2036 unto G4314 his G848 disciples G3101 ,
|
|
44. "Take these words to heart, for the Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men."
|
44. Let G5210 these G5128 sayings G3056 sink down G5087 into G1519 your G5216 ears G3775 : for G1063 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 shall G3195 be delivered G3860 into G1519 the hands G5495 of men G444 .
|
|
45. But they did not understand this statement; its meaning had been concealed from them, so that they could not grasp it. Yet they were afraid to ask him about this statement.
|
45. But G1161 they G3588 understood not G50 this G5124 saying G4487 , and G2532 it was G2258 hid G3871 from G575 them G846 , that G2443 they perceived G143 it G846 not G3361 : and G2532 they feared G5399 to ask G2065 him G846 of G4012 that G5127 saying G4487 .
|
|
46. Now an argument started among the disciples as to which of them might be the greatest.
|
46. Then G1161 there arose G1525 a reasoning G1261 among G1722 them G846 , which G5101 of them G846 should be G1498 greatest G3187 .
|
|
47. But when Jesus discerned their innermost thoughts, he took a child, had him stand by his side,
|
47. And G1161 Jesus G2424 , perceiving G1492 the G3588 thought G1261 of their G846 heart G2588 , took G1949 a child G3813 , and set G2476 him G846 by G3844 him G1438 ,
|
|
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 one who is least among you all is the one who is great."
|
48. And G2532 said G2036 unto them G846 , Whosoever G3739 G1437 shall receive G1209 this G5124 child G3813 in G1909 my G3450 name G3686 receiveth G1209 me G1691 : and G2532 whosoever G3739 G1437 shall receive G1209 me G1691 receiveth G1209 him that sent G649 me G3165 : for G1063 he that is G5225 least G3398 among G1722 you G5213 all G3956 , the same G3778 shall be G2071 great G3173 .
|
|
49. John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he is not a disciple along with us."
|
49. And G1161 John G2491 answered G611 and said G2036 , Master G1988 , we saw G1492 one G5100 casting out G1544 devils G1140 in G1909 thy G4675 name G3686 ; and G2532 we forbade G2967 him G846 , because G3754 he followeth G190 not G3756 with G3326 us G2257 .
|
|
50. But Jesus said to him, "Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you."
|
50. And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto G4314 him G846 , Forbid G2967 him not G3361 : for G1063 he G3739 that is G2076 not G3756 against G2596 us G2257 is G2076 for G5228 us G2257 .
|
|
51. Now when the days drew near for him to be taken up, Jesus set out resolutely to go to Jerusalem.
|
51. And G1161 it came to pass G1096 , when the G3588 time G2250 was come G4845 that G2532 he G846 should be received up G354 , he G846 steadfastly set G4741 his G848 face G4383 to go G4198 to G1519 Jerusalem G2419 ,
|
|
52. He sent messengers on ahead of him. As they went along, they entered a Samaritan village to make things ready in advance for him,
|
52. And G2532 sent G649 messengers G32 before G4253 his G848 face G4383 : and G2532 they went G4198 , and entered G1525 into G1519 a village G2968 of the Samaritans G4541 , to G5620 make ready G2090 for him G846 .
|
|
53. but the villagers refused to welcome him, because he was determined to go to Jerusalem.
|
53. And G2532 they did not G3756 receive G1209 him G846 , because G3754 his G846 face G4383 was G2258 as though he would go G4198 to G1519 Jerusalem G2419 .
|
|
54. Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"
|
54. And G1161 when his G846 disciples G3101 James G2385 and G2532 John G2491 saw G1492 this, they said G2036 , Lord G2962 , wilt G2309 thou that we command G2036 fire G4442 to come down G2597 from G575 heaven G3772 , and G2532 consume G355 them G846 , even G2532 as G5613 Elijah G2243 did G4160 ?
|
|
55. But Jesus turned and rebuked them,
|
55. But G1161 he turned G4762 , and rebuked G2008 them G846 , and G2532 said G2036 , Ye know G1492 not G3756 what manner G3634 of spirit G4151 ye G5210 are G2075 of.
|
|
56. and they went on to another village.
|
56. For G1063 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 is not G3756 come G2064 to destroy G622 men G444 's lives G5590 , but G235 to save G4982 them. And G2532 they went G4198 to G1519 another G2087 village G2968 .
|
|
57. As they were walking along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
|
57. And G1161 it came to pass G1096 , that , as they G846 went G4198 in G1722 the G3588 way G3598 , a certain G5100 man said G2036 unto G4314 him G846 , Lord G2962 , I will follow G190 thee G4671 whithersoever G3699 G302 thou goest G565 .
|
|
58. Jesus said to him, "Foxes have dens and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
|
58. And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto him G846 , Foxes G258 have G2192 holes G5454 , and G2532 birds G4071 of the G3588 air G3772 have nests G2682 ; but G1161 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 hath G2192 not G3756 where G4226 to lay G2827 his head G2776 .
|
|
59. Jesus said to another, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
|
59. And G1161 he said G2036 unto G4314 another G2087 , Follow G190 me G3427 . But G1161 he G3588 said G2036 , Lord G2962 , suffer G2010 me G3427 first G4412 to go G565 and bury G2290 my G3450 father G3962 .
|
|
60. But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
|
60. G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto him G846 , Let G863 the G3588 dead G3498 bury G2290 their G1438 dead G3498 : but G1161 go G565 thou G4771 and preach G1229 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 .
|
|
61. Yet another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to my family."
|
61. And G1161 another G2087 also G2532 said G2036 , Lord G2962 , I will follow G190 thee G4671 ; but G1161 let G2010 me G3427 first G4412 go bid them farewell G657 , which G3588 are at home at G1519 my G3450 house G3624 .
|
|
62. Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
|
62. And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto G4314 him G846 , No man G3762 , having put G1911 his G848 hand G5495 to G1909 the plow G723 , and G2532 looking G991 back G1519 G3694 , is G2076 fit G2111 for G1519 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 .
