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”.

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
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 Then Jesus called together the Twelve [apostles] and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases,
2 And He sent them out to announce and preach the kingdom of God and to bring healing.
3 And He said to them, Do not take anything for your journey—neither walking stick, nor [a]wallet [for a collection bag], nor food of any kind, nor money, and do not have two undergarments (tunics).
4 And whatever house you enter, stay there until you go away [from that place].
5 And wherever they do not receive and accept and welcome you, when you leave that town shake off [even] the dust from your feet, as a testimony against them.
6 And departing, they went about from village to village, preaching the Gospel and restoring the afflicted to health everywhere.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was being done by [Jesus], and he was [thoroughly] perplexed and troubled, because it was said by some that John [the Baptist] had been raised from the dead,
8 And by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had come back to life.
9 But Herod said, John I beheaded; but Who is this about Whom I [learn] such things by hearsay? And he sought to see Him.
10 Upon their return, the apostles reported to Jesus all that they had done. And He took them [along with Him] and withdrew into privacy near a town called Bethsaida.
11 But when the crowds learned of it, [they] followed Him; and He welcomed them and talked to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed restoration to health.
12 Now the day began to decline, and the Twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the crowds and send them away, so that they may go to the neighboring hamlets and villages and the surrounding country and find lodging and get a [b]supply of provisions, for we are here in an uninhabited (barren, solitary) place.
13 But He said to them, You [yourselves] give them [food] to eat. They said, We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all this crowd,(A)
14 For there were about 5,000 men. And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Have them [sit down] reclining in table groups (companies) of about fifty each.
15 And they did so, and made them all recline.
16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven and [praising God] gave thanks and asked Him to bless them [to their use]. Then He broke them and gave them to the disciples to place before the multitude.
17 And all the people ate and were satisfied. And they gathered up what remained over—twelve [[c]small hand] baskets of broken pieces.
18 Now it occurred that as Jesus was praying privately, the disciples were with Him, and He asked them, Who do men say that I am?
19 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back to life.
20 And He said to them, But who do you [yourselves] say that I am? And Peter replied, The Christ of God!
21 But He strictly charged and sharply commanded them [[d]under penalty] to tell this to no one [no one, [e]whoever he might be],
22 Saying, The Son of Man must suffer many things and be [[f]deliberately] disapproved and repudiated and rejected on the part of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death and on the third day be raised [again].
23 And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [[g]disown himself, [h]forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, [i]refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [[j]cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also].
24 For whoever would preserve his life and save it will lose and destroy it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he will preserve and save it [[k]from the penalty of eternal death].
25 For what does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and ruins or forfeits (loses) himself?
26 Because whoever is ashamed of Me and of My teachings, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in the [[l]threefold] glory (the splendor and majesty) of Himself and of the Father and of the holy angels.
27 However I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.
28 Now about eight days after these teachings, Jesus took with Him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29 And as He was praying, the appearance of His countenance became altered (different), and His raiment became dazzling white [[m]flashing with the brilliance of lightning].
30 And behold, two men were conversing with Him—Moses and Elijah,
31 Who appeared in splendor and majesty and brightness and were speaking of His exit [from life], which He was about to bring to realization at Jerusalem.
32 Now Peter and those with him were weighed down with sleep, but when they fully awoke, they saw His glory (splendor and majesty and brightness) and the two men who stood with Him.
33 And it occurred as the men were parting from Him that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is delightful and good that we are here; and let us construct three booths or huts—one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah! not noticing or knowing what he was saying.
34 But even as he was saying this, a cloud came and began to overshadow them, and they were seized with alarm and struck with fear as they entered into the cloud.
35 Then there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, My Chosen One or [n]My Beloved; listen to and yield to and obey Him!
36 And when the voice had died away, Jesus was found there alone. And they kept still, and told no one at that time any of these things that they had seen.
37 Now it occurred the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him.
38 And behold, a man from the crowd shouted out, Master, I implore You to look at my son, for he is my only child;
39 And behold, a spirit seizes him and suddenly he cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and he is sorely shattered, and it will scarcely leave him.
40 And I implored Your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.
41 Jesus answered, O [faithless ones] unbelieving and without trust in God, a perverse ([o]wayward, [p]crooked and [q]warped) generation! Until when and how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here [to Me].
42 And even while he was coming, the demon threw him down and [completely] convulsed him. But Jesus censured and severely rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and restored him to his father.
43 And all were astounded at the evidence of God’s mighty power and His majesty and magnificence. But [while] they were all marveling at everything Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,
44 Let these words sink into your ears: the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men [[r]whose conduct is opposed to God].
45 However, they did not comprehend this saying; and it was kept hidden from them, so that they should not grasp it and understand, and they were afraid to ask Him about the statement.
46 But a controversy arose among them as to which of them might be the greatest [surpassing the others in excellence, worth, and authority].
47 But Jesus, as He perceived the thoughts of their hearts, took a little child and put him at His side
48 And told them, Whoever receives and accepts and welcomes this child in My name and for My sake receives and accepts and welcomes Me; and whoever so receives Me so also receives Him Who sent Me. For he who is least and lowliest among you all—he is [the one who is truly] great.
49 John said, Master, we saw a man driving out demons in Your name and we commanded him to stop it, for he does not follow along with us.
50 But Jesus told him, Do not forbid [such people]; for whoever is not against you is for you.
51 Now when the time was almost come for Jesus to be received up [to heaven], He steadfastly and determinedly set His face to go to Jerusalem.
52 And He sent messengers before Him; and they reached and entered a Samaritan village to make [things] ready for Him;
53 But [the people] would not welcome or receive or accept Him, because His face was [set as if He was] going to Jerusalem.
54 And when His disciples James and John observed this, they said, Lord, do You wish us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, [s]even as Elijah did?(B)
55 But He turned and rebuked and severely censured them. [t]He said, You do not know of what sort of spirit you are,
56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them [u][from the penalty of eternal death]. And they journeyed on to another village.
57 And it occurred that as they were going along the road, a man said to Him, Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.
58 And Jesus told him, Foxes have lurking holes and the birds of the air have roosts and nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.
59 And He said to another, [v]Become My disciple, side with My party, and accompany Me! But he replied, Lord, permit me first to go and bury ([w]await the death of) my father.
60 But Jesus said to him, Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and publish abroad [x]throughout all regions the kingdom of God.
61 Another also said, I will follow You, Lord, and become Your disciple and side with Your party; but let me first say good-bye to those at my home.
62 Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back [to the things behind] is fit for the kingdom of God.
