平静风浪
22 有一天，耶稣对门徒说：“我们到湖的对岸去吧。”于是他们坐船前往对岸。 23 途中耶稣睡着了。不料湖上忽然狂风大作，船灌满了水，非常危险。 24 门徒过来唤醒耶稣，说：“主啊，主啊！我们快淹死了！”
耶稣醒来，就斥责风浪，顿时风平浪静了。
25 耶稣对他们说：“你们的信心在哪里呢？”
门徒又惊又怕，彼此议论说：“祂究竟是谁？一发命令，连风浪都听祂的！”
格拉森赶鬼
26 他们渡过加利利湖，到了格拉森地区。 27 耶稣上岸后，迎面遇见当地一个被鬼附身的人。那人长期赤身露体，不住在房屋里，只住在墓穴中。 28 他一见到耶稣，就扑倒在祂面前，高声喊叫：“至高上帝的儿子耶稣，我和你有什么关系？求求你，不要折磨我！” 29 这是因为耶稣已命令污鬼离开那人。那人多次被污鬼操纵，人们用铁链脚镣把他锁起来看管，他竟把锁链也扯断，被鬼催逼到荒野。
30 耶稣问他：“你叫什么名字？”
他说：“我叫‘群’。”因为有一大群鬼附在那人身上。 31 鬼不断央求耶稣不要叫它们到无底坑去。
32 当时有一大群猪在附近山坡上觅食，污鬼就央求耶稣准许它们进入猪群，耶稣答应了。 33 于是那群鬼便离开那人，进入猪群。那群猪就一路奔下陡坡，冲进湖里淹死了。 34 放猪的人见此情形拔腿就跑，把这事告诉了城里和乡下的人。 35 人们出来看个究竟，到了耶稣那里，发现那曾被鬼附身的人衣着整齐、神智清醒地坐在耶稣脚前，他们都很害怕。 36 目击者把事情的始末告诉了他们。 37 格拉森地区的居民都十分害怕，请求耶稣离开那里，耶稣便乘船回去了。
38 那从前被鬼附身的人恳求跟耶稣同行，耶稣却对他说： 39 “你回家吧，把上帝为你所行的奇事告诉别人。”他就回去，走遍全城，四处传扬耶稣为他所行的奇事。
雅鲁求救
40 耶稣回到对岸，受到等候在那里的百姓的欢迎。 41 一个名叫雅鲁的会堂主管走过来俯伏在耶稣脚前，求耶稣到他家去，因为他有一个大约十二岁的独生女快要死了。
42 耶稣前去雅鲁家的时候，人群拥挤着祂。
患血漏病妇人的信心
43 有一个患了十二年血漏病的妇人耗尽了积蓄，到处求医，但没有人能医治她。 44 妇人挤到耶稣的背后，摸了一下祂衣服的穗边，她的血漏立刻止住了。
45 耶稣问：“谁摸我？”没有人说摸过祂。
彼得说：“老师，众人都在拥挤你。”
46 耶稣却说：“一定有人摸了我，因为我感觉有能力从我身上出去。”
47 那妇人知道无法隐瞒，就战战兢兢地走过来，俯伏在耶稣脚前，把她摸了耶稣的衣裳后顽疾马上痊愈的始末当众说了出来。
48 耶稣对她说：“女儿，你的信心救了你！安心回去吧。”
雅鲁女儿死而复活
49 耶稣还在说话的时候，有人从雅鲁家赶来，对雅鲁说：“你的女儿已经死了，不用麻烦老师了。”
50 耶稣听见，就对雅鲁说：“不要怕，只要信。你的女儿一定会好的！”
51 到了雅鲁家，耶稣只准彼得、雅各、约翰和雅鲁夫妇跟祂进去。 52 屋内的人都在为那女孩哀伤哭泣，耶稣说：“不要哭，她没有死，只是睡着了。” 53 众人就讥笑祂，因为他们明明知道那女孩死了。 54 耶稣拉着那女孩的手，说：“孩子，起来！” 55 她的灵魂就回来了，她立刻站了起来。耶稣吩咐人给她东西吃。 56 她的父母非常惊讶，耶稣却嘱咐他们不要把这事传开。
差遣十二使徒
9 耶稣召集了十二个使徒，赐他们能力和权柄可以医病赶鬼， 2 又差遣他们出去宣讲上帝国的福音、医治病人。 3 耶稣叮嘱他们：“出门的时候，什么也不要带，不要带手杖、背包、干粮、金钱，也不要带两件衣服。 4 有人家接待你们，就住下来，一直住到你们离开。 5 如果有人不欢迎你们，你们在离开那城的时候，就把脚上的尘土跺掉，作为对他们的警告。”
6 使徒领命出发，走遍各个乡村，到处宣扬福音，替人治病。
希律的困惑
7 耶稣的事迹很快便传到希律耳中，令他十分困惑，因为有人说：“约翰死而复活了”， 8 有人说：“以利亚显现了”，还有人说：“古代的某个先知复活了”。 9 希律说：“约翰已经被我斩首，这个行奇事的人到底是谁呢？”于是他想见耶稣。
五饼二鱼的神迹
10 使徒回来后，向耶稣报告了他们所行的事。随后耶稣带着他们悄悄地来到伯赛大城。 11 但百姓发现了耶稣的行踪，随即也赶来了。耶稣接待他们，向他们宣讲天国的福音，医好了有病的人。 12 黄昏将近，十二个使徒过来对耶稣说：“请遣散众人，好让他们到附近的村庄去借宿找吃的，因为这地方很偏僻。”
13 耶稣对他们说：“你们给他们吃的吧。”
使徒们说：“我们只有五个饼和两条鱼，除非我们去买食物才够这么一大群人吃。” 14 当时那里约有五千男人。
耶稣便对使徒说：“让这些人分组坐下，每组大约五十人。” 15 于是使徒安排众人都坐好。 16 耶稣拿起那五个饼、两条鱼，举目望着天祝谢后，掰开递给门徒，让他们分给众人。 17 大家都吃饱了，把剩下的零碎收拾起来，竟装满了十二个篮子。
彼得宣告耶稣是基督
18 有一次，耶稣独自祷告的时候，门徒也在旁边。
耶稣问他们：“人们说我是谁？”
19 他们答道：“有人说你是施洗者约翰，也有人说你是以利亚，或是一位复活的古代先知。”
20 耶稣对他们说：“那么，你们说我是谁？”
彼得回答说：“你是上帝所立的基督。”
21 耶稣郑重地吩咐他们不许泄露祂的身份， 22 又说：“人子必须受许多苦，被长老、祭司长和律法教师弃绝，杀害，但必在第三天复活。”
跟从主的代价
23 耶稣又教导众人说：“如果有人要跟从我，就应当舍己，天天背起他的十字架跟从我。 24 因为想救自己生命的，必失去生命；但为了我而失去生命的，必得到生命。 25 人若赚得全世界，却失去自己或丧掉自己，又有什么益处呢？ 26 如果有人以我和我的道为耻，将来人子在自己、天父和圣天使的荣耀中降临时，也必以这人为耻。 27 我实在告诉你们，有些站在这里的人在有生之年就必看见上帝的国。”
登山变象
28 讲完这些话后大约八天，耶稣带着彼得、约翰和雅各一同到山上祷告。 29 耶稣在祷告的时候，容貌改变了，衣裳洁白发光。 30 忽然，摩西和以利亚二人在跟耶稣交谈。 31 二人在荣光中显现，谈论有关耶稣离世的事情，就是祂在耶路撒冷将要成就的事。 32 彼得和两个同伴都困得睡着了，他们醒来后，看见了耶稣的荣光以及站在祂身边的两个人。 33 当摩西和以利亚要离开时，彼得对耶稣说：“老师，我们在这里真好！让我们搭三座帐篷，一座给你，一座给摩西，一座给以利亚。”其实彼得并不知道自己在说什么。 34 他的话还没说完，有一朵云彩飘来，笼罩他们，他们进入云彩中，都很害怕。 35 云彩中有声音说：“这是我的儿子，是我拣选的，你们要听从祂！” 36 声音消逝了，门徒只见耶稣独自在那里。那些日子，他们对这事都绝口不提，没有告诉任何人。
山下赶鬼
37 次日，他们来到山下，有一大群人迎接耶稣。 38 人群中有一个人高声喊叫：“老师，求求你看看我的儿子吧！他是我的独生子， 39 鬼控制着他，他常常突然狂喊乱叫、抽搐、口吐白沫，倍受折磨，无休无止。 40 我曾求过你的门徒把鬼赶出去，但他们都无能为力。”
41 耶稣回答说：“唉！这又不信又败坏的世代啊！我要跟你们在一起容忍你们多久呢？把你的儿子带来吧。”
42 那孩子走过来时，鬼又把他摔倒，使他抽搐，耶稣立刻斥责污鬼，把那孩子治好了，交给他父亲。 43 大家看见了上帝的大能，都很惊奇。
再次预言受难
他们正为耶稣所做的一切惊讶不已时，耶稣对门徒说： 44 “你们要牢记人子所说的话，因为祂将要被交到人的手里。” 45 但门徒不明白这句话的意思，因为还没有向他们显明，他们听不懂，又不敢追问耶稣。
论地位
46 门徒开始议论他们当中谁最伟大。 47 耶稣知道他们的心思，就叫了一个小孩子来，让他站在自己身旁， 48 然后对门徒说：“任何人为了我的缘故接待这样一个小孩子，就是接待我；接待我，就是接待差我来的那位。你们当中最卑微的其实是最伟大的。”
49 约翰说：“老师，我们看见有人奉你的名赶鬼，就阻止他，因为他不是和我们一起跟从你的。” 50 耶稣却对他说：“你不要阻止他，因为不反对你们的，就是支持你们的。”
不肯接待耶稣的村庄
51 耶稣被接回天家的日子快到了，祂决定前往耶路撒冷。 52 祂先派人到撒玛利亚的一个村庄去预备食宿， 53 但撒玛利亚人见他们是上耶路撒冷去的，不肯接待他们。 54 祂的门徒雅各和约翰见状，说：“主啊，你要我们[a]叫天上的火降下来烧死他们吗？” 55 耶稣转过身来责备他们[b]。 56 接着，一行人改道去另一个村子。
跟从主的代价
57 在路上有人对耶稣说：“无论你往哪里去，我都要跟从你。”
58 耶稣对他说：“狐狸有洞，飞鸟有窝，人子却没有安枕之处。”
59 耶稣又对另一个人说：“跟从我！”但是那人说：“主啊，请让我先回去安葬我的父亲。”
60 耶稣说：“让死人去埋葬他们的死人吧，你只管去传扬上帝国的福音。”
61 又有一个人说：“主啊！我愿意跟从你，但请让我先回去向家人告别。”
62 耶稣说：“手扶着犁向后看的人不配进上帝的国。”

门徒看到耶稣的力量
22 一天，耶稣登上了一条船，他的门徒们也与他一起进了船。耶稣对他们说∶“咱们到湖对岸去吧！”门徒们出发过河。 23 船行驶中，耶稣睡着了。此刻，湖面上忽然刮起了一阵风暴，船仓开始灌进了水，他们处在危险之中。 24 于是，门徒们过去叫醒他，说∶“主人，主人，我们快被淹死了！”
耶稣起身，斥责风浪，风浪便停止了，湖面上一片平静。 25 然后，耶稣对门徒们说∶“你们的信仰都在哪里呢？”
可是，门徒们又惊又怕，彼此说道∶“他到底是什么人？他竟然命令风与水，而且它们也听命服从他。”
耶稣解救被鬼附身的人
26 耶稣和门徒们乘船渡湖，到了格拉森地区，这个地区位于加利利湖对岸。 27 耶稣一下船，当地的一个人就来见他。这个人被鬼附体，已有很长时间没穿衣服，也没住在房屋里，而是住在墓穴里。
30 耶稣问他∶“你叫什么名字？”
那人回答道 ∶“我叫军团 [a]。”（他回答他叫“军团”，是因为很多鬼钻进了他的身体。） 31 鬼乞求耶稣，不要把他们驱逐到深渊里去。 32 此时，山坡上正好有一群猪在吃食，鬼便乞求耶稣，让他们钻到猪身上去，耶稣准许了他们。群鬼便离开了那人，钻进猪身上去了。 33 于是，猪群狂奔下山崖，掉进湖里淹死了。
34 放猪的人看见这个情景，都跑了，在城镇和乡村向人们讲述了所发生的事情。 35 人们都出来，想看究竟发生了什么事情。他们来到耶稣那里，看到了那个人，鬼已经离开了他。此时，他正坐在耶稣的脚边，穿着衣裳，神智已恢复了正常，这情景把他们都吓坏了。 36 目睹了这一切的人，告诉他们被鬼附身的那个人是如何治愈的。 37 于是，格拉森地区的全体居民都要求耶稣离开他们，因为他们都被所发生的事情吓坏了，所以，耶稣上船离开那里， 回加利利去了。 38 那个被治愈的人却央求着要与耶稣一同走，但是，耶稣打发他回去，并对他说： 39 “你回家去吧，告诉人们上帝为你所做的事情。”
于是，那人走遍了全城，把耶稣为他做的事情告诉给人们。
耶稣救活已死的女孩，并治愈一位女人
40 当耶稣返回加利利时，人们都来迎接他，因为他们都在等侯着他。 41 正在这时，一个名叫睚鲁的犹太会堂管事来到那里。他跪在耶稣的脚边，恳求他到他家里去一趟， 42 因为他的年约十二岁的独生女儿快要死了。
当耶稣动身前往他家时，众人簇拥着他。 43 有个患血漏病十二年的女子，虽然她把所有的钱都花在了请医生看病上，可是没有一个人能治好她的病。 44 她来到耶稣身后，摸了摸他的袍边，立刻，她的血漏止住了。 45 耶稣问道∶“谁摸了我？”
所有的人都不承认。彼得说∶“主人，大概是人多拥挤碰到你了！”
46 但是耶稣却说∶“有人摸了我，因为我感觉到有能量从我身上散发了。” 47 这个女人知道瞒不住耶稣，便战战兢兢地走上前来，俯伏在耶稣的面前，当着所有的人的面，告诉耶稣她为什么摸了他，还告诉人们，她的病立刻便被治好了。 48 然后耶稣对她说∶“女儿，你的信仰治愈了你。平平安安地走吧！”
49 正当耶稣说话时，有人从会堂管事家里赶来，说道∶“你女儿已经死了，别再麻烦老师了。”
50 耶稣听见这话，便对那个会堂管事睚鲁说道∶“不要害怕，尽管相信就是了，她会被治好的！”
51 耶稣来到他家时，他让人们都站在门外等着，只让彼得、约翰、雅各和孩子的父母和他一同进屋。 52 这时，所有的人都为小女孩的死痛哭悲哀着，耶稣对他们说∶“别哭了，她没死，她只不过是睡着了！”
53 人们都嘲笑他，因为他们知道她已经死了。 54 但是，耶稣握住小姑娘的手，说道∶“孩子，站起来！” 55 女孩的灵回到了她的身上，立刻站了起来。然后，耶稣又吩咐人们拿东西给这个小姑娘吃。 56 孩子的父母惊讶得目瞪口呆。但是，耶稣又嘱咐他们，不让他们把所发生的事情告诉给任何人。
耶稣派使徒去传教
9 耶稣把他的十二名使徒召集在一起，赐给了他们制服鬼和医治疾病的力量与权力。 2 然后，耶稣就派他们出去宣传上帝的王国并治病救人。 3 耶稣对他们说∶“旅途中，不要带手杖、背包、面包，也不要带钱，不要带多余的衣服。 4 你们走进哪一家，就在哪一家里住下，一直住到你们离开那座城镇为止。 5 如果哪一处的人们不欢迎你们，当你们离开那个城镇时，抖掉你们脚上的尘土，做为对他们的警告。
6 然后，使徒们便出发了。他们走遍了所有的村庄，传播福音，医治病人。
希律的困惑
7 希律王听说了所发生的一切，感到迷惑不解，因为有人曾经说过：“约翰从死里复活了。” 8 也有人说过：”以利亚已经再现了。”还有人说：“很久以前的一位先知复活了。” 9 但是希律说道∶“我已经砍了约翰的头，可是，我听到的这个人是谁呢？”因此，希律非常想见到耶稣。
耶稣让五千多人吃饱了
10 使徒们回来了，他们向耶稣叙述了他们的所作所为。然后，耶稣悄悄地带领着他们来到了一座叫伯赛大的城镇。 11 但是众人发现耶稣的行踪后，就跟随着他。耶稣很欢迎他们，并对他们讲述了上帝王国的事情，还医治了那些需要治疗的人。
12 当太阳落山时，耶稣的十二个使徒来到他身边，对他说∶“打发人群走吧，以便他们能到附近的村村寨寨去找食物和住处，因为，咱们这儿太偏僻了。”
13 可是耶稣回答说∶“你们给他们一些吃的东西。”
使徒们却说∶“我们只有五块面包和两条鱼，当然，除非我们去给这些人买些食物！” 14 （当时大约共有五千多个男子在那里。）
耶稣对他的门徒说∶“你们让他们每五十个人坐在一起，坐成一组、一组的。”
15 门徒按照耶稣的吩咐，让人们按组坐下。 16 这时，耶稣拿起那五块面包和两条鱼，举目望天，感谢上帝赐给的食物，然后掰开食物，交给门徒，让他们摆在人们面前。 17 所有的人都饱了，剩下的食物，收拾起来还足足装了十二筐。
彼得说耶稣是基督
18 一次当耶稣独自祈祷的时候，门徒们来到他身边，耶稣问他们∶“人们都说我是谁？”
19 他们回答说∶“有人说您是施洗者约翰，还有人说您是以利亚，也有人说您是很久以前死去的一位先知复活了。”
20 耶稣又问门徒∶“你们说我是谁呢？”
彼得回答∶“您是上帝的基督。”
21 但是，耶稣警告他们，不要把此事告诉给任何人。
耶稣说他必死
22 耶稣对门徒说∶“人子必须遭受很多苦难，他必遭到年长的犹太首领、祭司长和律法师的拒弃，并被杀害，然后在第三天必定复活。”
23 然后，耶稣对在场所有的人说道∶“如果谁想跟随我，他就必须舍弃自己，每天都得背起他的十字架跟随我。 24 凡是想保全生命的人都将丧生；凡是为我牺牲生命的人都会保全生命。 25 如果一个人失去或毁灭了自己，即使他得到了整个世界，也毫无价值。 26 不要以我和我的教导为耻，如果你们以我和我的教导为耻，那么当我 [b]—人子伴随着我的荣耀、以及我父和神圣天使的荣耀降临时，也会以你们为耻。 27 但是，我实话告诉你们，站在这里的一些人在经历死亡之前，会看到上帝的王国。”
看到耶稣和摩西、以利亚在一起
28 耶稣说完这些话后的大约第八天，他带着彼得、约翰和雅各到山上去祈祷。 29 当耶稣祷告时，耶稣的容貌变了，他的衣服变得白得耀眼。 30 突然，有两个人出现在那里，与耶稣说话，他们是摩西和以利亚。 31 他们是伴着荣耀出现的，他们谈论着关于耶稣的死，耶稣将死在耶路撒冷。 32 可是，彼得和其他人却都睡着了。当他们醒过来时，都看到了耶稣的荣耀，也看见了和耶稣基督站在一起的那两个人。 33 当这两个人正要离开耶稣时，彼得对耶稣说∶“主人，我们在这里真是太好了，我们应该搭三个帐篷，一个给您，一个给摩西，另一个给以利亚。”彼得并不知道自己在说些什么。
34 当彼得正说这些话时，一片云彩飘来，笼罩住他们。当被云彩笼罩时，他们都很害怕。 35 从云里传来一个声音说∶“这是我的儿子，他是我选中的，你们要听他的话。”
36 话音落后，只有耶稣一人在那里。彼得、约翰和雅各对此事守口如瓶，之后的很久一段时间，他们没有告诉任何人他们所看到的事情。
耶稣解救被邪灵缠身的男孩
37 第二天，耶稣、彼得、约翰和雅各一下山，就有一大群人来见耶稣。 38 当时，人群中有人大声喊道∶“老师，我求您来看看我的儿子，他是我唯一的孩子！ 39 一个邪灵抓住他，他突然尖叫、抽疯、口吐白沫，邪灵折磨他，不肯离开他。 40 我求您的门徒赶走邪灵，可是他们办不到。”
41 然后耶稣回答说∶“你们这代毫无信仰的人啊！你们真是大错特错了！我还要和你们在一起呆多久呢？我还得忍耐你们到何时呢？把你儿子带到我这里来吧。”
42 可是，孩子在来的路上时，鬼把他摔倒在地，使他不停地抽搐。于是，耶稣斥责邪灵，治好了孩子，然后把孩子交给了他的父亲。 43 在场的人都对上帝的卓越力量感到非常惊讶。
耶稣谈到自己的死
当人们沉浸在对耶稣所做的事情惊异之中时，耶稣对他的门徒说： 44 “要听进去我现在告诉你们的话：人子就要被交到凡人手里了。” 45 但是，门徒却不明白这话的意思，因为，它的含义是向他们隐藏着的，所以他们不能理解，而且他们也不敢问耶稣这话是什么意思。
谁是最伟大的人？
46 耶稣的门徒们之间发生了一场争论，争论谁是他们中间最伟大的人。 47 但是，耶稣知道他们内心的想法，便领过来一个小孩，让他站在自己身边。 48 然后，耶稣对门徒说∶“谁以我的名义接受像这孩子的人，谁就是在接受我；任何接受我的人，也就是在接受派我来的那位。你们中间最渺小的人是最伟大的。”
不反对你的人，就是拥护你的人
49 约翰答道∶“主人，我们见到有人以您的名义驱鬼，我们就阻止了他，因为他不与我们一起跟从您！”
50 但是，耶稣却对约翰说∶“不要制止他，因为，不反对你们的人，就是拥护你们的人。”
撒玛利亚城
51 到了耶稣该被接到天堂的时候了，耶稣坚定地前往耶路撒冷。 52 他派了一些使者先走，那些人启程来到了撒玛利亚的一个村庄，为耶稣的到来做准备。 53 但是，撒玛利亚人不接纳耶稣，因为耶稣要去的地方是耶路撒冷。 54 耶稣的门徒雅各和约翰见到这个情景时，便说道∶“主，您想不想让我们命令烈火由天而降，毁掉他们呢？” [c]
55 但是，耶稣却转身斥责了他们。 56 然后，他们到另一个村庄去了。 [d]
跟随耶稣
57 当他们走在路上时，有人对耶稣说∶“无论您到哪里，我都跟随着您。”
58 耶稣却说∶“狐狸有穴，飞鸟有巢，可是人子连枕头的地方都没有。” 59 他又对另一个人说∶“跟随我来。”
那个人却说∶“请先让我回去埋葬我的父亲。”
60 但是，耶稣对他说∶“让死人去埋葬他们自己的死人吧！你只管去传播上帝的王国。”
61 还有一个人说∶“主啊，我将跟随您，但是，请先让我回去向我的家人告别。”
62 但是耶稣对他说∶“手扶犁耕作，却又朝后看的人，对上帝的王国是不合适的。”

Luke 8:22-9:62
New International Version
Jesus Calms the Storm(A)(B)
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(C) we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked(D) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(E) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(F)(G)
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[a] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(H) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(I) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(J)
32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(K) and was drowned.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(L) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(M) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(N) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(O)
40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(P) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(Q) for twelve years,[b] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(R) and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(S) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(T) I know that power has gone out from me.”(U)
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(V) Go in peace.”(W)
49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(X) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(Y) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(Z) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(AA)
53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(AB) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(AC)
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(AD)(AE)
9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons(AF) and to cure diseases,(AG) 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God(AH) and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.(AI) 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”(AJ) 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
7 Now Herod(AK) the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John(AL) had been raised from the dead,(AM) 8 others that Elijah had appeared,(AN) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(AO) 9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.(AP)
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(AQ)(AR)
10 When the apostles(AS) returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,(AT) 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God,(AU) and healed those who needed healing.
12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)
But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them.(AV) Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(AW)(AX)
18 Once when Jesus was praying(AY) in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(AZ) others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”(BA)
20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”(BB)
Jesus Predicts His Death
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.(BC) 22 And he said, “The Son of Man(BD) must suffer many things(BE) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(BF) and he must be killed(BG) and on the third day(BH) be raised to life.”(BI)
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.(BJ) 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.(BK) 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them(BL) when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.(BM)
27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
The Transfiguration(BN)
28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James(BO) with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.(BP) 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[c](BQ) which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy,(BR) but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master,(BS) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen;(BT) listen to him.”(BU) 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.(BV)
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy(BW)
37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. 38 A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”
41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,”(BX) Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.
Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time
While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”(BY) 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it,(BZ) and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.(CA) 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts,(CB) took a little child and had him stand beside him. 48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(CC) For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”(CD)
49 “Master,”(CE) said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”(CF)
Samaritan Opposition
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven,(CG) Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.(CH) 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan(CI) village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John(CJ) saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[d]?”(CK) 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.
The Cost of Following Jesus(CL)
57 As they were walking along the road,(CM) a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man(CN) has no place to lay his head.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”(CO)
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”(CP)
61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”(CQ)
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
