Luca 9
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014

Trimiterea celor doisprezece

9 Isus(A) a chemat pe cei doisprezece ucenici ai Săi, le-a dat putere şi stăpânire peste toţi dracii şi să vindece bolile. 2 Apoi, i-a(B) trimis să propovăduiască Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu şi să tămăduiască pe cei bolnavi. 3 „Să nu luaţi nimic cu voi pe drum,” le-a(C) zis El; „nici toiag, nici traistă, nici pâine, nici bani, nici două haine. 4 În(D) orice casă veţi intra, să rămâneţi acolo, până veţi pleca din locul acela. 5 Şi(E) dacă nu vă vor primi oamenii, să ieşiţi din cetatea aceea şi să scuturaţi(F) praful de pe picioarele voastre, ca mărturie împotriva lor.” 6 Ei(G) au plecat şi au mers din sat în sat, propovăduind Evanghelia şi săvârşind pretutindeni tămăduiri.

Irod nu ştie ce să creadă despre Isus

7 Cârmuitorul(H) Irod a auzit vorbindu-se despre toate lucrurile săvârşite de Isus şi stătea în cumpănă, neştiind ce să creadă. Căci unii ziceau că a înviat Ioan din morţi, 8 alţii ziceau că s-a arătat Ilie şi alţii ziceau că a înviat vreun proroc din cei din vechime. 9 Dar Irod zicea: „Lui Ioan i-am tăiat capul; cine este oare acesta, despre care aud astfel de lucruri?” Şi(I) căuta să-L vadă.

Înmulţirea pâinilor

10 Apostolii, când(J) s-au întors, au istorisit lui Isus tot ce făcuseră. El(K) i-a luat cu Sine şi S-a dus la o parte, lângă o cetate numită Betsaida. 11 Noroadele au priceput lucrul acesta şi au mers după El. Isus le-a primit bine, le vorbea despre Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu şi vindeca pe cei ce aveau trebuinţă de vindecare. 12 Fiindcă(L) ziua se pleca spre seară, cei doisprezece s-au apropiat şi I-au zis: „Dă drumul noroadelor, ca să se ducă în satele şi cătunele de primprejur să găzduiască şi să-şi caute de ale mâncării, pentru că aici suntem într-un loc pustiu”. 13 Isus le-a zis: „Daţi-le voi să mănânce!” Dar ei au răspuns: „N-avem decât cinci pâini şi doi peşti, afară numai dacă ne vom duce noi înşine să cumpărăm merinde pentru tot norodul acesta”. 14 Şi erau aproape cinci mii de bărbaţi. Isus a zis ucenicilor Săi: „Puneţi-i să şadă jos în cete de câte cincizeci”. 15 Aşa au şi făcut: i-au pus pe toţi să şadă jos. 16 Isus a luat cele cinci pâini şi cei doi peşti, Şi-a ridicat ochii spre cer şi le-a binecuvântat. Apoi, le-a frânt şi le-a dat ucenicilor să le împartă norodului. 17 Au mâncat toţi şi s-au săturat şi au ridicat douăsprezece coşuri pline cu firimiturile rămase.

Mărturisirea lui Petru

18 Într-o(M) zi, pe când Se ruga Isus singur deoparte, având cu El pe ucenicii Lui, le-a pus întrebarea următoare: „Cine zic oamenii că sunt Eu?” 19 Ei I-au răspuns: „Unii zic că eşti Ioan(N) Botezătorul; alţii zic că eşti Ilie; alţii zic că a înviat un proroc din cei din vechime”. 20 „Dar voi”, i-a întrebat El, „cine ziceţi că sunt?” „Hristosul lui Dumnezeu!” I-a răspuns Petru(O). 21 Isus(P) le-a poruncit cu tărie să nu spună nimănui lucrul acesta. 22 Apoi, a adăugat că Fiul(Q) omului trebuie să pătimească multe, să fie tăgăduit de bătrâni, de preoţii cei mai de seamă şi de cărturari, să fie omorât şi a treia zi să învieze.

Cum să urmăm pe Isus

23 Apoi(R) a zis tuturor: „Dacă voieşte cineva să vină după Mine, să se lepede de sine, să-şi ia crucea în fiecare zi şi să Mă urmeze. 24 Fiindcă oricine va voi să-şi scape viaţa o va pierde, dar oricine îşi va pierde viaţa pentru Mine o va mântui. 25 Şi(S) ce ar folosi un om să câştige toată lumea, dacă s-ar prăpădi sau s-ar pierde pe sine însuşi? 26 Căci(T) de oricine se va ruşina de Mine şi de cuvintele Mele, se va ruşina şi Fiul omului de el, când va veni în slava Sa şi a Tatălui şi a sfinţilor îngeri. 27 Adevărat(U) vă spun, că sunt unii din cei ce stau aici, care nu vor gusta moartea, până nu vor vedea Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu.”

Schimbarea la faţă

28 Cam(V) la opt zile după cuvintele acestea, Isus a luat cu El pe Petru, pe Ioan şi pe Iacov şi S-a suit pe munte să Se roage. 29 Pe când Se ruga, I s-a schimbat înfăţişarea feţei, şi îmbrăcămintea I s-a făcut albă strălucitoare. 30 Şi iată că stăteau de vorbă cu El doi bărbaţi: erau Moise şi Ilie, 31 care se arătaseră în slavă, şi vorbeau despre sfârşitul Lui, pe care avea să-l aibă în Ierusalim. 32 Petru şi tovarăşii lui erau(W) îngreuiaţi de somn, dar, când s-au deşteptat bine, au văzut slava lui Isus şi pe cei doi bărbaţi care stăteau împreună cu El. 33 În clipa când se despărţeau bărbaţii aceştia de Isus, Petru a zis lui Isus: „Învăţătorule, este bine să fim aici; să facem trei colibe: una pentru Tine, una pentru Moise şi una pentru Ilie”. Nu ştia ce spune. 34 Pe când vorbea el astfel, a venit un nor şi i-a acoperit cu umbra lui; ucenicii s-au înspăimântat când i-au văzut intrând în nor. 35 Şi din nor s-a auzit un glas care zicea: „Acesta(X) este Fiul Meu preaiubit: de El să ascultaţi(Y)”. 36 Când s-a auzit glasul acela, Isus a rămas singur. Ucenicii(Z) au tăcut şi n-au spus, în zilele acelea, nimănui nimic din cele ce văzuseră.

Vindecarea unui îndrăcit

37 A(AA) doua zi, când s-au pogorât de pe munte, o gloată mare a întâmpinat pe Isus. 38 Şi un om din mijlocul mulţimii a strigat: „Învăţătorule, rogu-Te, uită-Te cu îndurare la fiul meu, fiindcă îl am numai pe el. 39 Îl apucă un duh şi, deodată, răcneşte; şi duhul îl scutură cu putere, aşa că băiatul face spumă la gură şi cu anevoie se duce duhul de la el, după ce l-a stropşit de tot. 40 Am rugat pe ucenicii Tăi să-l scoată şi n-au putut.” 41 „O neam necredincios şi pornit la rău”, a răspuns Isus, „până când voi fi cu voi şi vă voi suferi? Adu aici pe fiul tău.” 42 Pe când venea băiatul, dracul l-a trântit la pământ şi l-a scuturat cu putere. Dar Isus a certat duhul necurat, a vindecat pe băiat şi l-a dat înapoi tatălui său. 43 Şi toţi au rămas uimiţi de mărirea lui Dumnezeu. 44 Pe când toţi se minunau de tot ce făcea Isus, El a zis ucenicilor Săi: „Voi ascultaţi(AB) bine ce vă spun: Fiul omului va fi dat în mâinile oamenilor!” 45 Dar(AC) ucenicii nu înţelegeau cuvintele acestea, căci erau acoperite pentru ei, ca să nu le priceapă, şi se temeau să-L întrebe în privinţa aceasta.

Cine este cel mai mare?

46 Apoi(AD), le-a venit în gând să ştie cine dintre ei ar fi cel mai mare. 47 Isus le-a cunoscut gândul inimii, a luat un copilaş, l-a pus lângă El 48 şi le-a zis: „Oricine(AE) primeşte pe acest copilaş în Numele Meu pe Mine Mă primeşte şi oricine Mă primeşte pe Mine primeşte pe Cel ce M-a trimis pe Mine. Fiindcă(AF) cine este cel mai mic între voi toţi, acela este mare”. 49 Ioan(AG) a luat cuvântul şi a zis: „Învăţătorule, noi am văzut pe un om scoţând draci în Numele Tău şi l-am oprit, pentru că nu merge după noi”. 50 „Nu-l opriţi”, i-a răspuns Isus, „fiindcă cine(AH) nu este împotriva voastră este pentru voi”.

„Foc din cer”

51 Când s-a apropiat vremea în care avea să fie luat în cer(AI), Isus Şi-a îndreptat faţa hotărât să meargă la Ierusalim. 52 A trimis înainte nişte soli, care s-au dus şi au intrat într-un sat al samaritenilor, ca să-I pregătească un loc de găzduit. 53 Dar(AJ) ei nu L-au primit, pentru că Isus Se îndrepta să meargă spre Ierusalim. 54 Ucenicii Săi, Iacov şi Ioan, când au văzut lucrul acesta, au zis: „Doamne, vrei să poruncim să se pogoare foc din cer şi să-i mistuie, cum a făcut Ilie(AK)?” 55 Isus S-a întors spre ei, i-a certat şi le-a zis: „Nu ştiţi de ce duh sunteţi însufleţiţi! 56 Căci Fiul(AL) omului a venit nu ca să piardă sufletele oamenilor, ci să le mântuiască.”Şi au plecat într-alt sat.

Cum să urmăm pe Isus

57 Pe(AM) când erau pe drum, un om I-a zis: „Doamne, Te voi urma oriunde vei merge”. 58 Isus i-a răspuns: „Vulpile au vizuini şi păsările cerului au cuiburi, dar Fiul omului n-are unde-Şi odihni capul”. 59 Altuia(AN) i-a zis: „Vino după Mine!” „Doamne”, I-a răspuns el, „lasă-mă să mă duc întâi să îngrop pe tatăl meu”. 60 Dar Isus i-a zis: „Lasă morţii să-şi îngroape morţii, şi tu du-te de vesteşte Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu”. 61 Un altul a zis: „Doamne, Te(AO) voi urma, dar lasă-mă întâi să mă duc să-mi iau rămas-bun de la ai mei”. 62 Isus i-a răspuns: „Oricine pune mâna pe plug şi se uită înapoi nu este destoinic pentru Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu”.

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.”

Sending Out the Twelve(A)

9 Then (B)He called His twelve disciples together and (C)gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 (D)He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 (E)And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.

4 (F)“Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 (G)And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, (H)shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”

6 (I)So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

Herod Seeks to See Jesus(J)

7 (K)Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, 8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 9 Herod said, “John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?” (L)So he sought to see Him.

Feeding the Five Thousand(M)

10 (N)And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. (O)Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. 12 (P)When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.”

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 them all sit down.

16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He (Q)blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 So they all ate and were [a]filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ(R)

18 (S)And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”

19 So they answered and said, (T)“John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

(U)Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(V)

21 (W)And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, (X)“The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(Y)

23 (Z)Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross [b]daily, and follow Me. 24 (AA)For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 (AB)For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? 26 (AC)For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be (AD)ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels. 27 (AE)But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount(AF)

28 (AG)Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. 30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were (AH)Moses and (AI)Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His [c]decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and those with him (AJ)were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him. 33 Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three [d]tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.

34 While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the (AK)cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, (AL)“This is [e]My beloved Son. (AM)Hear Him!” 36 When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. (AN)But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

A Boy Is Healed(AO)

37 (AP)Now it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him. 38 Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child. 39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him. 40 So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”

41 Then Jesus answered and said, “O [f]faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and [g]bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42 And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

Jesus Again Predicts His Death(AQ)

43 And they were all amazed at the majesty of God.

But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples, 44 (AR)“Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.” 45 (AS)But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

Who Is the Greatest?(AT)

46 (AU)Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest. 47 And Jesus, (AV)perceiving the thought of their heart, took a (AW)little child and set him by Him, 48 and said to them, (AX)“Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and (AY)whoever receives Me (AZ)receives Him who sent Me. (BA)For he who is least among you all will be great.”

Jesus Forbids Sectarianism(BB)

49 (BC)Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”

50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for (BD)he who is not against [h]us is on [i]our side.”

A Samaritan Village Rejects the Savior

51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for (BE)Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But (BF)they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples (BG)James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, [j]just as (BH)Elijah did?”

55 But He turned and rebuked them, [k]and said, “You do not know what manner of (BI)spirit you are of. 56 [l]For (BJ)the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.

The Cost of Discipleship(BK)

57 (BL)Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”

58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man (BM)has nowhere to lay His head.”

59 (BN)Then He said to another, “Follow Me.”

But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”

61 And another also said, “Lord, (BO)I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.”

62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is (BP)fit for the kingdom of God.”
