差派十二使徒
9 耶稣召集了十二使徒[a]，赐给他们能力和权柄胜过一切鬼魔，又能治愈各样疾病， 2 然后差派他们去宣讲神的国，并且使病人痊愈。
3 耶稣对他们说：“你们在路上什么都不要带。不要带手杖，不要带行囊，不要带食物，不要带银子，每个人也不要带两件衣服[b]。 4 你们无论进哪一家，就要住在那里，也要从那里再出发。 5 如果他们不接受你们，你们离开那城的时候，要把脚上的尘土跺掉，做为对他们的见证。” 6 使徒们就出去，走遍各村庄到处传福音，使人痊愈。
希律的困惑
7 分封王希律听说了所发生的这一切，就感到困惑，因为有些人说：“约翰从死人中复活了。” 8 也有些人说：“以利亚显现了。”还有些人说：“古时候的一位先知复活了。” 9 但希律却说：“我已经砍了约翰的头，而这个人又是谁呢？我竟听到关于他这样的事！”于是希律就想要见他。
五饼二鱼
10 使徒们回来，把他们所做的事都告诉了耶稣。耶稣就带着他们，悄悄地退往一个叫做伯赛达的城[c]去。 11 可是众人知道了，就跟着他去。耶稣欢迎他们，向他们讲说有关神国的事，并且使那些需要医治的人得痊愈。
12 太阳开始平西的时候，十二使徒前来对耶稣说：“请遣散人群，好让他们到周围的村庄和田舍去借宿、找食物，因为我们这里是个荒僻的地方。”
13 但耶稣对他们说：“你们给他们吃的吧。”
他们说：“我们只有五个饼和两条鱼，除非我们去为全体民众买食物。” 14 当时，男人就约有五千。
耶稣对他的门徒们说：“叫他们分组坐下，每组约五十人。” 15 门徒们就如此行，叫大家都坐下。 16 耶稣拿起这五个饼和两条鱼，抬头望天，祝福了，然后掰开，不断递给门徒们，让他们分给众人。 17 大家吃了，并且都吃饱了。他们把剩下的碎块收拾起来，装满了[d]十二个篮子。
彼得认耶稣为基督
18 有一次，耶稣独自祷告的时候，门徒们和他在一起。耶稣问他们，说：“众人说我是谁？”
19 他们回答说：“是施洗者[e]约翰，有的说是以利亚，也有的说是古时候的一位先知复活了。”
20 耶稣问他们：“那么你们呢？你们说我是谁？”
彼得回答说：“是神的基督！”
预言受难与复活
21 耶稣告诫他们，吩咐他们不要把这事告诉任何人。 22 又说：“人子必须受很多苦害，被长老们、祭司长们和经文士们弃绝，并且被杀，然后在第三天复活。”
背起你的十字架
23 耶稣又对大家说：“如果有人想要来跟从我，他就当否定自己，天天[f]背起自己的十字架，然后跟从我。 24 因为凡想要保全[g]自己生命的，将失去生命；凡为我的缘故失去自己生命的，这个人将保全[h]生命。 25 一个人就是赚得了全世界，却丧失了自己，或赔上了自己，到底有什么益处呢？ 26 一个人如果以我和我的话为耻，当人子在自己、父，和圣天使们的荣耀中来临的时候，也要以这个人为耻。 27 我确实地告诉你们：站在这里的有些人，在还没有尝到死的滋味之前，必定见到神的国。”
登山变相
28 说了这些话以后约八天，耶稣带着彼得、约翰、雅各上山去祷告。 29 正在祷告的时候，耶稣的相貌改变了，衣服也洁白发光。 30 这时候，忽然有两个人和耶稣谈话——他们是摩西和以利亚—— 31 他们在荣光中显现，谈论耶稣离世的事，就是他将要在耶路撒冷成就的事。
32 彼得和他的同伴正在沉睡着。可是他们清醒过来时，看见了耶稣的荣光和同他站着的那两个人。 33 那两个人正要离开耶稣的时候，彼得对耶稣说：“老师，我们在这里真好！让我们来搭三座帐幕，一座为你，一座为摩西，一座为以利亚。”他不知道自己在说什么。
34 他正说这些话，有一朵云彩出现，笼罩着他们。他们一没入云彩中，门徒们就惧怕起来。 35 有声音从云中传来，说：
“这是我的儿子，我所拣选的[i]。
你们当听从他！”
36 声音过后，门徒们发现只有耶稣一个人了。在那些日子里，他们保持沉默，没有告诉任何人他们所看到的事。
信心的力量
37 第二天，他们从山上下来，有一大群人迎着耶稣而来。 38 这时候，忽然人群中有一个人呼喊说：“老师，求求你看顾我的儿子吧！因为他是我的独生儿子。 39 你看，邪灵抓住他，忽然喊叫起来，又使他抽疯，口吐白沫；邪灵折磨着他，就是不离开。 40 我求过你的门徒们，要他们驱赶那邪灵，可是他们不能。”
41 耶稣回答说：“唉，这个不信、歪曲的世代！我还要和你们在一起多久呢？我还要容忍你们多久呢？把你的儿子带到这里来吧！”
42 那孩子上前来的时候，鬼魔把他摔倒，使他剧烈地抽疯。耶稣就斥责那污灵，使孩子痊愈，把孩子交给他父亲。 43 大家都对神的威荣惊叹不已。
再次预言受难
正当大家对耶稣所做的一切感到惊奇的时候，耶稣对他的门徒们说： 44 “你们要把这话存在耳中：人子将要被交在[j]人的手中。”
45 可是他们不明白这话，因为这话的意思对他们是隐藏的，使他们不能领悟。他们也不敢问耶稣这话的意思。
谁是最大的
46 门徒之间起了争论：他们当中到底谁更大。 47 耶稣看出他们心中的意念，就领来一个小孩子，让他站在自己身旁， 48 然后对他们说：“无论谁奉我的名接受这小孩子，就是接受我；接受我的，就是接受差派我来的那一位。要知道，在你们当中谁更小，他才为大。”
奉耶稣的名
49 约翰回答说：“老师，我们看见一个人奉你的名驱赶鬼魔，我们就去阻止他，因为他不与我们一起跟从你。”
50 耶稣对他说：“不要阻止他，因为不反对你们的，就是支持你们的[k]。”
前往耶路撒冷
51 耶稣升天的日子快到了，他就坚定地面向耶路撒冷而去。 52 他派了几个使者在他前头。他们就去了，进到撒马利亚人的一个村子，要为他做预备。 53 但那里的人不接受他，因为他是往耶路撒冷去的。 54 门徒雅各和约翰看见了，就说：“主啊，你要我们[l]吩咐火从天上降下来烧灭他们吗？”
55 耶稣转过身来责备他们[m]。 56 于是他们往别的村子去了。
跟随耶稣
57 他们在路上走的时候，有一个人对耶稣说：“[n]无论你到哪里去，我都要跟从你。”
58 耶稣对他说：“狐狸有洞，天空的飞鸟有窝，人子却没有枕头的地方。” 59 耶稣对另一个人说：“你跟从我！”
可是他说：“主啊，请准许我先去埋葬我的父亲。”
60 耶稣[o]对他说：“让死人去埋葬他们的死人吧。至于你，你要去宣讲神的国。”
61 另有一个人说：“主啊，我要跟从你，但是请准许我先向我家里的人告别。”
62 耶稣对他说：“手扶着犁又看背后之事的人，不配神的国。”

差遣十二使徒(A)
9 耶稣召齐十二门徒，给他们能力、权柄，制伏一切鬼魔，医治各样的疾病， 2 差遣他们去宣讲 神的国和医治病人， 3 对他们说：“不要带着甚么上路，不要带手杖，不要带口袋，不要带食物，不要带银钱，也不要带两件衣服。 4 无论进哪一家，就住在那里，直到离开。 5 凡不接待你们的，你们离开那城的时候，当把脚上的灰尘跺下去，作为反对他们的表示。” 6 于是他们就出去，走遍各乡，传讲福音，到处医治病人。
希律的困惑(B)
7 分封王希律听见所发生的一切事，犹豫不定，因为有人说：“约翰从死人中复活了。” 8 又有人说：“以利亚显现了。”还有人说：“古时的一位先知复活了。” 9 希律说：“约翰已经斩头了，但这是谁，我怎么会听到他这些事呢？”就设法要见他。
给五千人吃饱的神迹(C)
10 使徒们回来，把所作的事报告耶稣。他带着他们，悄悄地退往伯赛大城去。 11 群众知道了，也跟了去。他接待他们，向他们讲论 神的国，医好需要医治的人。 12 天将晚的时候，十二门徒来到他跟前，说：“请解散众人，好让他们往周围的田舍村庄，去找地方住，找东西吃，因为我们这里是旷野。” 13 他说：“你们给他们吃吧！”他们说：“我们所有的，不过是五个饼两条鱼，除非去为这些人另买食物。” 14 原来男人就约有五千。他对门徒说：“叫他们一组一组地坐下，每组约五十人。” 15 门徒就照他的话，叫众人坐下。 16 耶稣拿起这五个饼，两条鱼，望着天，祝谢了，擘开递给门徒，摆在众人面前。 17 他们都吃饱了，把剩下的零碎拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。
彼得承认耶稣是基督(D)
18 有一次耶稣独自祈祷的时候，只有门徒和他在一起。他问他们：“人说我是谁？” 19 他们回答：“有人说是施洗的约翰，有人说是以利亚，还有人说是古时的一位先知复活了。” 20 他又问他们：“你们说我是谁？”彼得回答：“是 神的基督！”
耶稣预言受难及复活(E)
21 耶稣警告他们，嘱咐他们，不要把这事告诉人。 22 又说：“人子必须受许多苦，被长老、祭司长，和经学家弃绝、杀害，第三日复活。”
23 耶稣又对众人说：“如果有人愿意跟从我，就当舍己，天天背起他的十字架来跟从我。 24 凡是想救自己生命的，必丧掉生命；但为我牺牲自己生命的，必救了生命。 25 人若赚得全世界，却丧失自己，或赔上自己，有甚么好处呢？ 26 凡是把我和我的道当作可耻的，人子在自己与父并圣天使的荣耀里降临的时候，也必把他当作可耻的。 27 我实在告诉你们，站在这里的，有人在没有尝过死味以前必定要看见 神的国。”
在山上改变形象(F)
28 说了这些话以后约有八天，耶稣带着彼得、约翰和雅各，上山去祷告。 29 正祷告的时候，他的面貌就改变了，衣服洁白发光。 30 忽然有两个人和他谈话，就是摩西和以利亚。 31 他们在荣光里显现，谈论他去世的事，就是他在耶路撒冷将要完成的。 32 彼得和同伴都在打盹。醒过来之后，就看见他的荣光，并与他站在一起的那两个人。 33 二人正要离开他的时候，彼得对耶稣说：“主啊，我们在这里真好！我们可以搭三个帐棚，一个为你，一个为摩西，一个为以利亚。”他根本不知道自己在说甚么。 34 他说这话的时候，有一片云彩笼罩他们，他们入了云彩，门徒就害怕起来。 35 有声音从云彩里出来，说：“这是我的儿子，我所拣选的（“这是我的儿子，我所拣选的”有些抄本作“这是我的爱子”），你们要听从他！” 36 声音过了，只见耶稣独自在那里。在那些日子，门徒保持缄默，不把所看见的告诉任何人。
治好癫痫病的小孩(G)
37 第二天，他们下了山，有一大群人迎面而来。 38 在人群中有一个人喊叫说：“老师，求你怜悯我的儿子，因为他是我的独生子。 39 你看，污灵一抓住他，他就忽然喊叫，并且抽疯，口吐白沫；污灵又折磨糟践他，不肯放过他。 40 我求过你的门徒，把他赶出去，他们却办不到。” 41 耶稣说：“唉！这不信又乖谬的世代啊！我跟你们在一起，忍受你们，要到几时呢？把你儿子带到这里来吧！” 42 那孩子正走过来的时候，污鬼把他摔倒，使他重重地抽疯。耶稣斥责那污灵，把孩子医好，交给他父亲。 43 众人都惊奇 神的大能。
第二次预言受难及复活(H)
众人还在希奇耶稣所作的这一切时，他对门徒说： 44 “你们要把这些话存在心里：人子将要被交在人的手里。” 45 门徒不明白这话，因为这话的意思是隐藏的，不让他们明白，他们也不敢问。
门徒争论谁最大(I)
46 后来，门徒起了意见，争论谁是最大的。 47 耶稣看出他们的心意，就领了一个小孩子来，叫他站在自己旁边， 48 对他们说：“凡因我的名接待这小孩子的，就是接待我；凡接待我的，就是接待那差我来的。谁是你们中间最小的，那人就是最大的。” 49 约翰说：“主，我们看见有一个人奉你的名赶鬼，就禁止他，因为他不和我们一起跟从你。” 50 耶稣说：“不要禁止他，因为不反对你们的，就是赞成你们的。”
撒玛利亚人不接待主
51 耶稣被接上升的日子快到了，他就决意向耶路撒冷去， 52 并且差遣使者走在前头；他们去了，进入撒玛利亚的一个村庄，要为他预备。 53 那里的人不接待他，因为他面向着耶路撒冷走。 54 他的门徒雅各、约翰看见了，就说：“主啊，你要我们吩咐火从天降下来，烧灭他们吗？” 55 耶稣就转过身来，责备他们， 56 然后他们就往别的村庄去了。
要求跟从耶稣(J)
57 他们走路的时候，有一个人对他说：“你无论往哪里去，我都要跟从你！” 58 耶稣说：“狐狸有洞，天空的飞鸟有窝，人子却没有栖身的地方。” 59 他对另一个人说：“你跟从我吧！”那人说：“主啊，请准我先回去安葬我的父亲吧。” 60 耶稣说：“让死人去埋葬他们的死人，你应该去传扬 神的国。” 61 又有一个人说：“主，我要跟从你，但容我先回去，向家人道别。” 62 耶稣说：“手扶着犁向后看的，不适合进 神的国。”

9 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases.
2 And He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to cure the sick.
3 And He said to them, “Take nothing on your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor have two tunics apiece.
4 “And whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there.
5 “And however many will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
6 And they went out and went through every town preaching the Gospel and healing everywhere.
7 Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that had been done by Him. And he doubted, because it was said by some that John had risen again from the dead.
8 And by some that Elijah had appeared. And by some that one of the old Prophets had risen again.
9 Then Herod said, “John I have beheaded. Who then is this of Whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see Him.
10 And when the Apostles returned, they told Him what great things they had done. Then He took them and went aside into a solitary place, near the city called Bethsaida.
11 But when the people knew of it, they followed Him. And He received them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and healed those needing to be healed.
12 And when the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the people away, so that they may go into the surrounding towns and villages, and lodge, and get food. For we are here in a desert place.
13 But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
14 For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.”
15 And they did so and made all sit down.
16 Then He took the five loaves, and the two fish, and looked up to Heaven and blessed them; and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the people.
17 So they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces from what remained.
18 And it happened that as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him. And He asked them, saying, “Whom do the people say that I am?”
19 They answered, and said, “John Baptist. And others say, Elijah. And some say that one of the old Prophets has risen again.”
20 And He said to them, “But Whom do you say that I am?” Peter answered, and said, “The Christ of God.”
21 And He warned and commanded them to tell that to no one,
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, and by the chief priests and scribes, and be killed; and the third day rise again.”
23 And He said to them all, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
24 “For whoever would save his life, shall lose it. And whoever shall lose his life, for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 "For what does it benefit a man if he wins the whole world and destroys himself, or loses himself?
26 “For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and My words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed when He shall come in His own Glory, and in the Glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 “And I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Kingdom of God.”
28 And it happened that about eight days after those words, He took Peter and John, and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as He prayed, the appearance of His face was changed. And His clothes became white and radiant.
30 And behold, two men talked with Him (who were Moses and Elijah),
31 They appeared in glory and told of His departure which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep. And when they awoke, they saw His Glory, and the two men standing with him.
33 And it happened that as they departed from Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Therefore, let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
34 While he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him.”
36 And after the voice spoke, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret and told no one in those days anything they had seen.
37 And it happened that on the next day, as they came down from the mountain, many people met Him.
38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Master, I beg You! Look upon my son! For he is all that I have!
39 “And lo, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries. And he convulses him, so that he foams at the mouth. And when he has bruised him, he departs from him roughly.
40 “Now I have begged Your disciples to cast him out, but they could not.
41 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation! How long now shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
42 And while He was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and returned him to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. And while they all wondered at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,
44 “Let these words sink down into your ears. For the time will come when the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of man.”
45 But they did not understand that word, for it was hidden from them. So, they could not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask Him about that word.
46 Then a dispute arose among them: which one of them should be the greatest.
47 When Jesus saw the thoughts of their hearts, He took a little child and set him by Him.
48 And He said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My Name, receives Me. And whoever shall receive Me, receives Him Who sent Me. For the one who is least among you all shall be great.”
49 And John answered and said, “Master, we saw one casting out demons in Your Name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
50 Then Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him. For whoever is not against us, is with us.”
51 And it happened that when it was time for Him to be received up, He set His face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And sent messengers before Him. And they went and entered into a town of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.
53 But they would not receive Him, because His face was set toward Jerusalem.
54 And when His disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command that fire come down from Heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”
55 But Jesus turned around and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know of what spirit you are.
56 “For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” Then they went to another town.
57 And it happened that as they went on the way, a certain man said to Him, “I will follow You, Lord, wherever You go!”
58 And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven nests. But the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
59 But He said to another, “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 and preach the Kingdom of God.”
61 Then another said, “I will follow You, Lord. But first let me go and bid farewell to those who are at my house.
62 And Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)
9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons(C) and to cure diseases,(D) 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God(E) 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.(F) 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.”(G) 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
7 Now Herod(H) the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John(I) had been raised from the dead,(J) 8 others that Elijah had appeared,(K) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(L) 9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.(M)
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(N)(O)
10 When the apostles(P) 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,(Q) 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God,(R) 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.(S) 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(T)(U)
18 Once when Jesus was praying(V) 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;(W) others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”(X)
20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”(Y)
Jesus Predicts His Death
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.(Z) 22 And he said, “The Son of Man(AA) must suffer many things(AB) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(AC) and he must be killed(AD) and on the third day(AE) be raised to life.”(AF)
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.(AG) 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.(AH) 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(AI) when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.(AJ)
27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
The Transfiguration(AK)
28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James(AL) with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.(AM) 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,[a](AN) which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy,(AO) 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,(AP) 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;(AQ) listen to him.”(AR) 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.(AS)
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy(AT)
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,”(AU) 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.”(AV) 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it,(AW) 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.(AX) 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts,(AY) 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.(AZ) For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”(BA)
49 “Master,”(BB) 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.”(BC)
Samaritan Opposition
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven,(BD) Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.(BE) 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan(BF) 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(BG) saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[b]?”(BH) 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.
The Cost of Following Jesus(BI)
57 As they were walking along the road,(BJ) 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(BK) has no place to lay his head.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”(BL)
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.”(BM)
61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”(BN)
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
