Chúa Sai Mười Hai Sứ Đồ Đi Truyền Giáo(A)
9 Đức Giê-su gọi mười hai sứ đồ lại, ban cho năng lực và thẩm quyền để trừ[a] tất cả các quỷ và chữa bệnh. 2 Ngài sai họ đi truyền giảng Nước Đức Chúa Trời và chữa lành những người đau ốm. 3 Ngài bảo họ: “Đi đường, các con đừng đem theo gì cả; đừng đem theo gậy, túi, thực phẩm,[b] tiền bạc, cũng đừng đem theo hai áo choàng. 4 Các con vào nhà nào, cứ ở lại đó cho đến khi đi.[c] 5 Nếu thành nào người ta không tiếp đón các con thì khi ra khỏi thành ấy, hãy phủi bụi nơi chân để tỏ ý đối kháng với họ.” 6 Các sứ đồ ra đi, từ làng này qua làng khác, truyền giảng Phúc Âm và chữa lành bệnh tật khắp nơi.
7 Nghe về mọi việc xảy ra, Hê-rốt, vua chư hầu, rất hoang mang vì có người nói: “Giăng Báp-tít đã sống lại từ cõi chết;” 8 cũng có người bảo: “Tiên tri Ê-li đã hiện ra!” Nhưng có kẻ khác lại cho rằng một tiên tri thời xưa đã sống lại. 9 Nhưng vua Hê-rốt nói: “Giăng thì Ta đã chém đầu rồi, còn người này là ai mà ta nghe đồn người đã làm những việc như thế?” Nên vua tìm cách gặp[d] Đức Giê-su.
Chúa Cho Năm Ngàn Người Ăn Bánh(B)
10 Các sứ đồ trở về tường trình cho Ngài những việc họ đã làm. Ngài đem họ đi riêng ra, đến thành Bết-sai-đa, 11 nhưng dân chúng biết được, kéo theo Ngài. Ngài đón tiếp họ, giảng giải về Nước Đức Chúa Trời và chữa cho những người cần được lành bệnh.
12 Trời đã xế chiều, mười hai sứ đồ đến thưa: “Xin Thầy giải tán dân chúng, để họ vào các làng mạc thôn xóm xung quanh tìm chỗ ăn và nghỉ, vì đây là nơi đồng hoang.”
13 Nhưng Ngài bảo: “Chính các con hãy cho họ ăn!” Các sứ đồ thưa: “Nếu chúng con không đi mua thức ăn cho cả đoàn dân này, thì chúng con chỉ có năm ổ bánh và hai con cá!”
14 Có độ năm ngàn người đàn ông ở đó. Nhưng Ngài bảo các môn đệ: “Các con hãy cho họ ngồi thành từng nhóm, mỗi nhóm độ năm mươi người.” 15 Các môn đệ làm theo, sắp xếp cho mọi người ngồi xuống. 16 Ngài cầm năm ổ bánh và hai con cá, ngước mắt lên trời, chúc phước, rồi bẻ ra, trao cho các môn đệ để dọn ra trước đoàn dân. 17 Tất cả đều ăn no nê; những mẩu bánh thừa thu lại được mười hai giỏ đầy.
Phê-rơ Xác Nhận Niềm Tin Về Chúa Cứu Thế(C)
18 Đang lúc Đức Giê-su ở riêng cầu nguyện, có các môn đệ bên cạnh, Ngài hỏi họ: “Đoàn dân nói Ta là ai?”
19 Họ thưa: “Người thì nói là Giăng Báp-tít, kẻ thì bảo là Ê-li, những người khác lại cho rằng Thầy là một tiên tri thời xưa sống lại.”
20 Ngài hỏi tiếp: “Còn các con nói Ta là ai?” Phê-rơ thưa: “Thầy là Chúa Cứu Thế của Đức Chúa Trời!”
21 Ngài nghiêm cấm các môn đệ không được nói với ai điều ấy.
Chúa Báo Trước Ngài Sẽ Hy Sinh Và Sống Lại(D)
22 Đức Giê-su dạy: “Con Người phải chịu nhiều khốn khổ, sẽ bị các trưởng lão, các thượng tế và các giáo sư Kinh Luật khai trừ, giết chết rồi sau ba ngày sẽ sống lại.”
23 Ngài lại bảo tất cả các môn đệ: “Ai muốn theo Ta, phải từ bỏ chính mình, hằng ngày vác thập tự giá mình và theo Ta. 24 Vì ai muốn cứu mạng sống mình thì sẽ mất; nhưng ai hy sinh tính mạng vì Ta, thì sẽ cứu được.[e] 25 Nếu một người được cả thế gian mà chính mình phải bị hư mất hay tổn hại, thì lợi ích gì đâu? 26 Vì nếu ai hổ thẹn về Ta và về đạo Ta thì Con Người sẽ hổ thẹn về người đó, khi Ngài trở lại trong vinh quang của Ngài, của Cha và của các thiên sứ thánh. 27 Thật Ta bảo cho các con, vài người đang đứng đây hẳn sẽ không nếm sự chết cho đến khi thấy Nước Đức Chúa Trời.”
Chúa Hóa Hình(E)
28 Độ tám ngày sau khi phán dạy những điều ấy, Đức Giê-su đem theo Phê-rơ, Giăng và Gia-cơ lên núi để cầu nguyện. 29 Đang khi Ngài cầu nguyện, diện mạo Ngài biến đổi; áo Ngài trở nên rực sáng trắng toát. 30 Có hai người hầu chuyện với Ngài là Môi-se và Ê-li. 31 Họ hiện ra trong hào quang, bàn về việc Ngài ra đi là việc Ngài sắp hoàn thành tại Giê-ru-sa-lem. 32 Phê-rơ và các bạn buồn ngủ lắm, nhưng khi thấy hào quang của Ngài và của hai người đứng với Ngài thì tỉnh hẳn. 33 Khi hai người từ giã Ngài, Phê-rơ thưa với Đức Giê-su: “Thưa Thầy, ở lại đây tốt quá! Ta hãy dựng ba lều; một cho Thầy, một cho Môi-se và một cho Ê-li.” Ông nói mà không hiểu mình nói gì.
34 Phê-rơ còn đang nói, một đám mây kéo đến che khuất Ngài, Môi-se và Ê-li; khi họ vào trong đám mây các môn đệ sợ hãi. 35 Từ trong đám mây có tiếng phán: “Đây là Con Ta, Đấng đã được chọn. Hãy nghe theo Ngài!” 36 Khi tiếng phán vang ra, chỉ còn lại một mình Đức Giê-su mà thôi. Trong những ngày đó các môn đệ im lặng, không thuật lại cho ai những điều mình được chứng kiến.
Đứa Trẻ Bị Quỷ Ám Được Chữa Lành(F)
37 Hôm sau, khi Đức Giê-su và các môn đệ xuống núi, một đoàn dân đông đến đón Ngài. 38 Một người trong đám đông kêu lớn: “Thưa Thầy, con xin Thầy đoái xem con trai con đây, vì con chỉ có một mình nó. 39 Quỷ[f] nhập vào nó, bất chợt rú lên, vật nó làm sôi bọt mép, cứ gây thương tích cho nó và ít khi chịu rời nó.[g] 40 Con đã xin các môn đệ Thầy đuổi quỷ, nhưng họ không đuổi nổi.”
41 Đức Giê-su đáp: “Ôi, thế hệ vô tín, đồi trụy! Ta sẽ phải ở với các ngươi và chịu đựng các ngươi đến bao giờ? Hãy đem con trai ngươi lại đây!”
42 Lúc đứa trẻ đến gần Ngài, quỷ vật nó xuống làm nó giãy giụa. Nhưng Đức Giê-su quở tà linh và chữa lành đứa trẻ, rồi giao lại cho cha nó. 43 Cả đoàn dân đều kinh ngạc về quyền uy vĩ đại của Đức Chúa Trời.
Khi mọi người đang sững sờ về mọi việc Ngài làm, Ngài bảo các môn đệ: 44 “Các con hãy lắng nghe cho kỹ những điều Ta nói đây! Con Người sắp bị nộp vào tay người ta.” 45 Nhưng họ không hiểu lời ấy, vì còn bị che khuất đối với họ, khiến họ không nhận biết được và họ cũng sợ không dám hỏi Ngài về lời này.
Ai Là Người Lớn Nhất(G)
46 Các môn đệ tranh luận với nhau xem ai lớn nhất trong nhóm mình. 47 Đức Giê-su biết ý tưởng họ, nên đem một đứa trẻ lại đứng bên cạnh Ngài, 48 và bảo: “Ai nhân danh Ta tiếp đón đứa trẻ này tức là tiếp đón Ta. Ai tiếp nhận Ta là tiếp nhận Đấng đã sai ta. Vì người hèn mọn nhất trong các con,[h] là người cao trọng nhất.”
49 Giăng thưa: “Thưa Thầy, chúng con thấy một người nhân danh Thầy để đuổi quỷ, nhưng chúng con đã ngăn cấm vì người ấy không theo chúng ta.”
50 Ngài bảo: “Đừng ngăn cấm, vì ai không chống đối các con là người thuận với các con!”
Người Sa-ma-ri Chống Đối
51 Gần đến ngày về trời, Đức Giê-su quyết tâm đi lên Giê-ru-sa-lem. 52 Ngài sai các sứ giả đi trước; trên đường họ vào một làng Sa-ma-ri để chuẩn bị chỗ trọ cho Ngài, 53 nhưng dân chúng không chịu tiếp Ngài, vì Ngài đi lên Giê-ru-sa-lem. 54 Gia-cơ và Giăng thấy thế, thưa: “Lạy Chúa, Chúa có muốn chúng con khiến lửa từ trời giáng xuống thiêu hủy họ không?” 55 Nhưng Ngài quay lại quở trách hai người, 56 rồi cùng các môn đệ đi qua một làng khác.
Điều Kiện Làm Môn Đệ Chúa(H)
57 Khi đang đi đường, một người thưa với Ngài: “Thầy đi đâu, con sẽ theo đó!”
58 Đức Giê-su đáp: “Chồn cáo có hang, chim trời có tổ, nhưng Con Người không có chỗ gối đầu!”
59 Ngài bảo một người khác: “Con hãy theo Ta!” Nhưng người ấy thưa: “Xin cho phép con đi chôn cất cha con trước đã!”
60 Ngài tiếp: “Con hãy để kẻ chết chôn kẻ chết của họ! Còn con, hãy đi truyền giảng Nước Đức Chúa Trời!”
61 Một người khác thưa: “Lạy Chúa, con sẽ theo Chúa, nhưng trước hết xin cho phép con về từ giã người nhà trước đã!”
62 Đức Giê-su đáp: “Ai đã tra tay cầm cày, còn ngoảnh nhìn lại đằng sau thì không xứng đáng với Nước Đức Chúa Trời!”[i]

Luke 9
New International Version
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.”
Luke 9
King James Version
9 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto 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.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared 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 when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 And said unto 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 least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
