La Biblia de las Américas
Misión de los doce
9 Reuniendo a los doce, les dio poder y autoridad sobre todos los demonios(A) y para sanar enfermedades. 2 Y los envió a proclamar el reino de Dios(B) y a sanar a los enfermos. 3 Y les dijo: (C)No toméis nada para el camino, ni bordón, ni alforja[a], ni pan, ni dinero; ni tengáis dos túnicas cada uno(D). 4 En cualquier casa donde entréis, quedaos allí, y sea de allí vuestra salida. 5 Y en cuanto a los que no os reciban, al salir de esa ciudad, sacudid el polvo de vuestros pies en testimonio contra ellos(E). 6 Entonces salieron, e iban por las aldeas anunciando(F) el evangelio y sanando por todas partes.
Herodes oye hablar de Jesús
7 (G)Herodes el tetrarca(H) se enteró de todo lo que estaba pasando, y estaba muy perplejo, porque algunos decían que Juan(I) había resucitado de entre los muertos, 8 otros, que Elías había aparecido, y otros, que algún profeta(J) de los antiguos había resucitado. 9 Entonces Herodes dijo: A Juan yo lo hice decapitar; ¿quién es, entonces, este de quien oigo tales cosas? Y procuraba verle(K).
Alimentación de los cinco mil
10 Y cuando los apóstoles regresaron, dieron cuenta a Jesús[b] de todo lo que habían hecho(L). Y Él, (M)tomándolos consigo, se retiró aparte a una ciudad llamada Betsaida(N). 11 Pero cuando la gente[c] se dio cuenta de esto, le siguió; y Jesús, recibiéndolos, les hablaba del reino de Dios, y sanaba a los que tenían necesidad de ser curados. 12 El día comenzaba a declinar, y acercándose los doce, le dijeron: Despide a la multitud, para que vayan a las aldeas y campos de los alrededores, y hallen alojamiento y consigan alimentos[d]; porque aquí estamos en un lugar desierto. 13 Pero Él les dijo: Dadles vosotros de comer. Y ellos dijeron: No tenemos más que cinco panes y dos peces, a no ser que vayamos y compremos alimentos para toda esta gente. 14 (Porque había como cinco mil hombres.) Y Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: Haced que se recuesten en grupos(O) como de cincuenta cada uno. 15 Así lo hicieron, haciendo recostar a todos. 16 Y tomando los cinco panes y los dos peces, levantando los ojos al cielo, los bendijo, y los partió, y los iba dando a los discípulos para que los sirvieran a[e] la gente. 17 Todos comieron y se saciaron; y se recogieron de lo que les sobró de los pedazos: doce cestas llenas(P).
La confesión de Pedro
18 (Q)Y[f] mientras Jesús[g] oraba a solas(R), estaban con Él los discípulos, y les preguntó, diciendo: ¿Quién dicen las multitudes que soy yo? 19 Entonces ellos respondieron, y dijeron: Unos, Juan el Bautista, otros, Elías, y otros, que algún profeta de los antiguos ha resucitado. 20 Y Él les dijo: Y vosotros ¿quién decís que soy yo? Y Pedro respondiendo, dijo: El Cristo[h] de Dios(S). 21 Pero Él, advirtiéndoles severamente, les mandó que no dijeran esto a nadie(T), 22 diciendo: (U)El Hijo del Hombre debe padecer mucho, y ser rechazado por los ancianos(V), los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar al tercer día. 23 Y decía a todos: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz cada día y sígame(W). 24 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida[i], la perderá, pero el que pierda su vida[j] por causa de mí, ese la salvará(X). 25 Pues, ¿de qué le sirve a un hombre haber ganado el mundo entero, si[k] él mismo se destruye o se pierde(Y)? 26 Porque el que se avergüence de mí y de mis palabras, de este se avergonzará el Hijo del Hombre cuando venga en su gloria, y la del Padre, y la de los santos ángeles(Z). 27 Pero en verdad os digo que hay algunos de los que están aquí, que no probarán la muerte hasta que vean(AA) el reino de Dios.
La transfiguración
28 (AB)Y[l] como ocho días después de estas palabras, Jesús tomó consigo a Pedro, a Juan y a Jacobo[m](AC), y subió al monte(AD) a orar(AE). 29 Mientras oraba(AF), la apariencia de su rostro se hizo otra(AG), y su ropa se hizo blanca y resplandeciente[n]. 30 Y he aquí, dos hombres hablaban con Él, los cuales eran Moisés y Elías, 31 quienes apareciendo en gloria[o], hablaban de la partida de Jesús[p](AH), que Él estaba a punto de cumplir en Jerusalén. 32 Pedro y sus compañeros habían sido vencidos por el sueño(AI), pero cuando estuvieron bien despiertos, vieron la gloria de Jesús[q] y a los dos varones que estaban con Él. 33 Y sucedió que al retirarse ellos de Él, Pedro dijo a Jesús: Maestro(AJ), bueno es que estemos aquí; hagamos tres enramadas[r], una para ti, otra para Moisés y otra para Elías(AK); no sabiendo lo que decía(AL). 34 Entonces, mientras él decía esto, se formó una nube que los cubrió; y tuvieron temor al entrar en la nube. 35 Y una voz salió de la nube, que decía: Este es mi Hijo, mi Escogido[s](AM); a Él oíd. 36 Después que la voz se oyó[t], Jesús fue hallado solo. Ellos se lo callaron, y por aquellos días no contaron a nadie nada de lo que habían visto(AN).
Jesús sana a un muchacho endemoniado
37 (AO)Y aconteció que al día siguiente, cuando bajaron del monte, una gran multitud le salió al encuentro. 38 Y he aquí, un hombre de la multitud gritó, diciendo: Maestro, te suplico que veas a mi hijo, pues es el único que tengo[u], 39 y sucede que un espíritu se apodera de él, y de repente da gritos, y el espíritu le hace caer con convulsiones, echando[v] espumarajos; y magullándole, a duras penas se aparta de él. 40 Entonces rogué a tus discípulos que lo echaran fuera, y no pudieron. 41 Respondiendo Jesús, dijo: ¡Oh generación incrédula y perversa! ¿Hasta cuándo he de estar con vosotros y os he de soportar? Trae acá a tu hijo. 42 Cuando este se acercaba, el demonio lo derribó y lo hizo caer con convulsiones. Pero Jesús reprendió al espíritu inmundo, y sanó al muchacho y se lo devolvió a su padre. 43 Y todos estaban admirados de la grandeza[w] de Dios(AP).
Jesús anuncia otra vez su muerte
(AQ)Mientras todos se maravillaban de todas las cosas que hacía, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: 44 Haced[x] que estas palabras penetren en vuestros oídos, porque el Hijo del Hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres(AR). 45 Pero ellos no entendían(AS) estas palabras[y], y les estaban veladas para que no las comprendieran; y temían preguntarle acerca de ellas[z].
El mayor en el reino de los cielos
46 (AT)Y se suscitó[aa] una discusión entre ellos, sobre quién de ellos sería el mayor. 47 Entonces Jesús, sabiendo lo que pensaban(AU) en[ab] sus corazones, tomó a un niño y lo puso a su lado, 48 y les dijo: El que reciba a este niño en mi nombre, a mí me recibe; y el que me recibe a mí, recibe a aquel que me envió(AV); porque el que es más pequeño[ac] entre todos vosotros, ese es grande(AW).
49 (AX)Y respondiendo Juan, dijo: Maestro(AY), vimos a uno echando fuera demonios en tu nombre, y tratamos de impedírselo porque no anda con nosotros. 50 Pero Jesús le dijo: No se lo impidáis; porque el que no está contra vosotros, está con vosotros(AZ).
Jesús reprende a Jacobo y a Juan
51 Y sucedió que cuando se cumplían los días de su ascensión[ad](BA), Él, con determinación, afirmó su rostro para ir a Jerusalén(BB). 52 Y envió mensajeros delante de Él; y ellos fueron y entraron en una aldea de los samaritanos(BC) para hacerle preparativos. 53 Pero no le recibieron, porque sabían que había determinado ir a[ae] Jerusalén(BD). 54 Al ver esto, sus discípulos Jacobo[af] y Juan(BE), dijeron: Señor, ¿quieres que mandemos que descienda fuego del cielo y los consuma[ag](BF)? 55 Pero Él, volviéndose, los reprendió, [ah]y dijo: Vosotros no sabéis de qué espíritu sois, 56 porque el Hijo del Hombre no ha venido para destruir las almas de los hombres, sino para salvarlas. Y se fueron a otra aldea.
Lo que demanda el discipulado
57 Y mientras ellos iban por el camino(BG), (BH)uno le dijo: Te seguiré adondequiera que vayas. 58 Y Jesús le dijo: Las zorras tienen madrigueras y las aves del cielo nidos, pero el Hijo del Hombre no tiene dónde recostar la cabeza(BI). 59 A otro dijo: Sígueme(BJ). Pero él dijo: Señor[ai], permíteme que vaya primero a enterrar a mi padre. 60 Mas Él le dijo: Deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos; pero tú, ve y anuncia por todas partes el reino de Dios(BK). 61 También otro dijo: Te seguiré, Señor; pero primero permíteme despedirme de los de mi casa(BL). 62 Pero Jesús le dijo: Nadie, que después de poner la mano en el arado mira atrás(BM), es apto para el reino de Dios.

Nueva Versión Internacional
Jesús envía a los doce(A)(B)
9 Habiendo reunido a los doce, Jesús les dio poder y autoridad para expulsar a todos los demonios y para sanar enfermedades. 2 Entonces los envió a predicar el reino de Dios y a sanar a los enfermos. 3 «No lleven nada para el camino: ni bastón, ni bolsa, ni pan, ni dinero, ni dos mudas de ropa —les dijo—. 4 En cualquier casa que entren, quédense allí hasta que salgan del pueblo. 5 Si no los reciben bien, salgan de ese pueblo y sacúdanse el polvo de los pies como un testimonio contra sus habitantes». 6 Así que partieron y fueron por todas partes de pueblo en pueblo, predicando las buenas noticias y sanando a la gente.
7 Herodes, el tetrarca, se enteró de todo lo que estaba sucediendo. Estaba perplejo porque algunos decían que Juan había resucitado; 8 otros, que se había aparecido Elías; y otros, en fin, que había resucitado alguno de los antiguos profetas. 9 Pero Herodes dijo: «A Juan mandé que le cortaran la cabeza; ¿quién es, entonces, este de quien oigo tales cosas?». Y procuraba verlo.
Jesús alimenta a los cinco mil(C)
10 Cuando regresaron los apóstoles, contaron a Jesús lo que habían hecho. Él se los llevó consigo y se retiraron solos a un pueblo llamado Betsaida, 11 pero la gente se enteró y lo siguió. Él los recibió y les habló del reino de Dios. También sanó a los que lo necesitaban.
12 Al atardecer se acercaron los doce y le dijeron:
—Despide a la gente, para que vaya a buscar alojamiento y comida en los campos y pueblos cercanos, pues donde estamos no hay nada.[a]
13 —Denles ustedes mismos de comer —dijo Jesús.
—No tenemos más que cinco panes y dos pescados, a menos que vayamos a comprar comida para toda esta gente —objetaron ellos, 14 porque había allí unos cinco mil hombres.
Pero Jesús dijo a sus discípulos:
—Hagan que se sienten en grupos como de cincuenta cada uno.
15 Así lo hicieron los discípulos y se sentaron todos. 16 Entonces Jesús tomó los cinco panes y los dos pescados y, mirando al cielo, los bendijo. Luego los partió y se los dio a los discípulos para que se los repartieran a la gente. 17 Todos comieron hasta quedar satisfechos y de los pedazos que sobraron se recogieron doce canastas.
La confesión de Pedro(D)(E)
18 Un día Jesús estaba orando a solas; cuando llegaron sus discípulos, preguntó:
—¿Quién dice la gente que soy yo?
19 Le respondieron:
—Unos dicen que Juan el Bautista, otros que Elías y otros que uno de los antiguos profetas ha resucitado.
20 —Y ustedes, ¿quién dicen que soy yo? —preguntó Jesús.
—El Cristo de Dios —afirmó Pedro.
21 Jesús ordenó terminantemente que no dijeran esto a nadie. 22 Y les dijo:
—El Hijo del hombre tiene que sufrir muchas cosas y ser rechazado por los líderes religiosos, los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros de la Ley. Es necesario que lo maten y que resucite al tercer día.
23 Dirigiéndose a todos, declaró:
—Si alguien quiere ser mi discípulo, que se niegue a sí mismo, tome su cruz cada día y me siga. 24 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida por mi causa la salvará. 25 ¿De qué le sirve a uno ganar el mundo entero si se pierde o se destruye a sí mismo? 26 Si alguien se avergüenza de mí y de mis palabras, el Hijo del hombre se avergonzará de él cuando venga en su gloria y en la gloria del Padre y de los santos ángeles. 27 Además, les aseguro que algunos de los aquí presentes no sufrirán la muerte sin antes haber visto el reino de Dios.
La transfiguración(F)
28 Unos ocho días después de decir esto, Jesús, acompañado de Pedro, Juan y Santiago, subió a una montaña a orar. 29 Mientras oraba, su rostro se transformó y su ropa se volvió blanca y radiante. 30 Y aparecieron dos personajes —Moisés y Elías—, que conversaban con Jesús. 31 Tenían un aspecto glorioso, y hablaban de la partida de Jesús, que él iba a cumplir en Jerusalén. 32 Pedro y sus compañeros estaban rendidos de sueño, pero cuando se despabilaron, vieron su gloria y a los dos personajes que estaban con él. 33 Mientras estos se apartaban de Jesús, Pedro, sin saber lo que estaba diciendo, propuso:
—Maestro, ¡qué bien que estemos aquí! Podemos levantar tres albergues: uno para ti, otro para Moisés y otro para Elías.
34 Estaba hablando todavía cuando apareció una nube que los envolvió y al entrar en la nube se asustaron. 35 Entonces salió de la nube una voz que dijo: «Este es mi Hijo, mi escogido. ¡Escúchenlo!». 36 Después de oírse la voz, Jesús quedó solo. Los discípulos guardaron esto en secreto y por algún tiempo a nadie contaron nada de lo que habían visto.
Jesús sana a un muchacho endemoniado(G)
37 Al día siguiente, cuando bajaron de la montaña, le salió al encuentro mucha gente. 38 Y un hombre de entre la multitud exclamó:
—Maestro, te ruego que atiendas a mi hijo, pues es el único que tengo. 39 Resulta que un espíritu se posesiona de él y de repente el muchacho se pone a gritar; también lo sacude con violencia y hace que eche espumarajos. Cuando lo atormenta, a duras penas lo suelta. 40 Ya rogué a tus discípulos que lo expulsaran, pero no pudieron.
41 —¡Ah, generación incrédula y malvada! —respondió Jesús—. ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que estar con ustedes y soportarlos? Trae acá a tu hijo.
42 Estaba acercándose el muchacho cuando el demonio lo derribó con una convulsión. Pero Jesús reprendió al espíritu maligno, sanó al muchacho y se lo devolvió al padre. 43 Y todos se quedaron asombrados de la grandeza de Dios.
En medio de tanta admiración por todo lo que hacía, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos:
44 —Presten mucha atención a lo que les voy a decir: El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres.
45 Pero ellos no entendían lo que quería decir con esto. Estaba encubierto para que no lo comprendieran y no se atrevían a preguntárselo.
¿Quién va a ser el más importante?(H)(I)
46 Surgió entre los discípulos una discusión sobre quién de ellos sería el más importante. 47 Como Jesús sabía bien lo que pensaban, tomó a un niño y lo puso a su lado.
48 —El que recibe en mi nombre a este niño —dijo—, me recibe a mí; y el que me recibe a mí, recibe al que me envió. Porque el que es más pequeño entre todos ustedes, ese es el más importante.
49 —Maestro —dijo Juan—, vimos a un hombre que expulsaba demonios en tu nombre y se lo impedimos, porque no es de los nuestros.
50 —No se lo impidan —respondió Jesús—, porque el que no está contra ustedes está a favor de ustedes.
La oposición de los samaritanos
51 Como se acercaba el tiempo de que fuera llevado al cielo, Jesús se hizo el firme propósito de ir a Jerusalén. 52 Envió por delante mensajeros, que entraron en un pueblo samaritano para prepararle alojamiento; 53 pero allí la gente no quiso recibirlo porque se dirigía a Jerusalén. 54 Cuando los discípulos Santiago y Juan vieron esto, preguntaron:
—Señor, ¿quieres que hagamos caer fuego del cielo para[b] que los destruya?
55 Pero Jesús se volvió a ellos y los reprendió. 56 Luego[c] siguieron la jornada a otra aldea.
Lo que cuesta seguir a Jesús(J)
57 Iban por el camino cuando alguien dijo a Jesús:
—Te seguiré adondequiera que vayas.
58 —Las zorras tienen madrigueras y las aves tienen nidos —respondió Jesús—, pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene dónde recostar la cabeza.
59 A otro le dijo:
—Sígueme.
Él contestó:
—Señor, primero déjame ir a enterrar a mi padre.
60 —Deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos, pero tú ve y proclama el reino de Dios —respondió Jesús.
61 Otro afirmó:
—Te seguiré, Señor, pero primero deja despedirme de mi familia.
62 Jesús respondió:
—Nadie que mire atrás después de poner la mano en el arado es apto para el reino de Dios.

Orthodox Jewish Bible
9 And having called together the Shneym Asar, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach gave to them koach (power) and samchut (authority) over all the shedim and to give refuah (healing) to their illnesses.
2 Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach sent them out as his Shlichim to preach the Malchut Hashem and to give refuah to the cholim,
3 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick nor a schnorrer’s (beggar’s) sack nor lechem nor kesef, nor an extra kaftan.
4 And into whatever bais you may enter, remain there, and from there go out.
5 And as many as do not receive you, going out from that shtetl, shake off the dust from your feet for an edut against them.
6 And they departed and were itinerating throughout the shtetlach, preaching the Besuras HaGeulah and healing everywhere.
7 Now Herod the Tetrarch heard all the things happening and he was perplexed because it was said by some that Yochanan had experienced his Techiyah from HaMesim and come back;
8 by some also that Eliyahu Hanavi had appeared; but by others that some navi of the ancients arose.
9 But Herod said, Yochanan I beheaded. Who then is this about whom I hear such things? And he was seeking to see him.
10 And having returned, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach’s Shlichim told him what things they did. And having taken them for a yechidus, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach withdrew to a shtetl being called Beit-Tzaidah.
11 But the multitudes, having realized this, followed him. And having given them a kabbalat panim (welcome), Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was speaking to them about the Malchut Hashem, and to the ones having need of it, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was giving refuah.
12 Now the day began to decline. And having approached, the Shneym Asar said to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, Send away the multitude, so that having gone into the surrounding shtetlach and farms, they may find lodging and may find provisions, for here we are in a desolate place.
13 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, You give them [something] to eat. But they said, There are not to us more than chamesh kikrot (loaves) and dagim, shenayim, unless we go and buy for all this people okhel (food).
14 For there were about chamesh elafim anashim (five thousand). But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to his talmidim, Have them recline [as at a farbrengen (inspirational gathering)], and chamishim (fifty) in a group. [TEHILLIM 23:2]
15 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach’s talmidim did so, and all reclined [as at tish].
16 And having taken the chamesh kikrot and the shnei hadagim, and having looked up to Shomayim, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said a bracha over them, and offered the betziat halechem, and was giving to the talmidim to set before the multitude.
17 And they ate and all were satisfied, and they picked up shirayim, shneym asar baskets full.
18 And it came about while he was davening alone, with only his talmidim with him, he questioned them, saying, Whom do the multitudes declare me to be?
19 And in reply they said, Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva; but others, Eliyahu Hanavi; and others, that a certain navi of the ancients has come back to life.
20 And he said to them, And you, who do you declare me to be? And in reply, Kefa said, The Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach of Hashem.
21 And having warned them, he gave orders to tell no one this,
22 Saying, It is necessary for the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14] to suffer much and to be rejected by the Ziknei HaAm and Rashei Hakohanim and Sofrim and to be killed, and after his histalkus (passing), on Yom HaShelishi to undergo the Techiyas HaMoshiach.
23 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was saying to all, If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and lift up his etz shel hakarav atzmo yom yom and let him follow me.
24 For whoever wishes to save his nefesh will lose it. But whoever loses his nefesh on my account will save it.
25 For what is the revach (profit) to a ben Adam who has gained the whole of the Olam Hazeh, but has lost his own self, forfeited his neshamah?
26 For whoever has bushah (shame) toward me and my dvarim, this one the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14) will be ashamed of, when Moshiach comes in his Kavod and the Kavod of HaAv of him and of the malachim hakedoshim (holy angels).
27 But I say to you, Omein, there are some standing here who will by no means taste mavet until they see the Malchut Hashem.
28 And it came to pass, about a week after these divrei Moshiach, that when he had taken Kefa and Yochanan and Yaakov, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach went up to the har to daven.
29 And it came about that while Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach davens, the appearance of his face became different and his kaftan and all his clothing became dazzling white.
30 And two men were conversing with Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, and these two men were Moshe Rabbeinu and Eliyahu HaNavi,
31 Who appeared in kavod and were speaking of Moshiach’s Litziat Exodus, which he was about to fulfill in Yerushalayim.
32 But Kefa and the ones with him had been weighed down with sleep. And having awakened fully, they saw his kavod and the two men standing with him.
33 And it came about, just as the men departed from Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, Kefa said, Adoni, it is good for us to be here; let us make shalosh sukkot, one for you and one for Moshe Rabbeinu and one for Eliyahu HaNavi. (Kefa did not know what he was saying.)
34 And while Kefa was saying these things, an anan (cloud) came and was overshadowing them, and while they entered into the anan they were afraid.
35 And a bat kol came from the anan (cloud), saying ZEH BENI BECHIRI, ELAV TISHMAUN (This is my Son the Chosen One, listen to him. [YESHAYAH 42:1; TEHILLIM 2:7]
36 When the bat kol became silent, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was found alone. And they were silent, and reported to no one in those yamim anything of what they had seen.
37 And it came about on the following day, when they had descended from the har (mountain), a large throng met Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach.
38 And an ish from the multitude cried out, saying, Rabbi, I beg you to look at beni (my son), for to me he is a ben yachid (only son),
39 And a shed seizes him and suddenly shrieking and lets out a shrai and throws the bocher into a convulsion with foam at the mouth and it mauls him and will scarcely depart from him.
40 And I begged your talmidim that they might cast out the shed, and they were not able.
41 And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, O perverse dor (generation) without emunah, until when will I be with you, and until when will I put up with you? Bring your ben here. [DEVARIM 32:5]
42 Even now as the bocher was approaching Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, the shed threw him down and convulsed him. But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the shed (the ruach hatumah) and gave refuah to the bocher, and gave him back to his abba.
43 And all were amazed at the gedulat Hashem. And while all were beholding the peledike way he was doing everything, he said to his talmidim,
44 Let these divrei Hashem lodge in your ears: for the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13] is about to be delivered into the hands of Bnei Adam.
45 But they had no binah concerning this dvar of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, and it had been nistar from them in order that they might not have binah, and they were afraid to ask him about this dvar.
46 Now an argument arose among his talmidim, as to who would be the greatest.
47 And Moshiach, having perceived the machshavah of their levavot, took a yeled into his arms and stood the yeled next to him.
48 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Whoever receives this yeled in ha-Shem of me [Moshiach], is mekabel (receiving, accepting) of me. And whoever is mekabel of me is mekabel of the One [Hashem] who sent me. For whoever is the least among all of you, this one is the Gadol.
49 And in reply Yochanan said, Adoni, we saw someone casting out shedim bShem of you and we were trying to stop him, because he is not following as one of the anshei shlomeinu (men of our fraternity).
50 But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Do not stop him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.
51 And it came about that as the Yom of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach’s aliyah ascent to Shomayim approaches, he set his face bedavka (deliberately) and resolutely to go up to Yerushalayim.
52 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach sent messengers ahead of him. And having gone, they entered into a village of Shomron in order to make arrangements for him.
53 And the people of Shomron were not mekabel Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, because his face was set to go to Yerushalayim.
54 And when Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach’s talmidim, Yaakov and Yochanan, witnessed this, they said, Adoneinu, do you want that we should call eish to come down from Shomayim to consume them? [MELACHIM BAIS 1:10,12]
55 And, having turned around, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked them.
56 And they went to another village.
57 And as they were going baderech (on the road), a certain one said to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, I will follow you wherever you go.
58 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Foxes have dens, and the OPH HASHOMAYIM (birds of heaven, IYOV 7:13-14) have nests, but the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14) does not have a place where he may lay down his head.
59 And he said to another, Follow me. But the ish said, Adoni, allow me to go first and bury the Av of me.
60 But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Leave the mesim (dead ones, spiritually unregenerate ones without hitkhadshut) to bury their mesim (dead ones), but you go and proclaim the Malchut Hashem.
61 And another said also, I will follow you, Adoni. But first allow me to say lhitraot to the ones in my bais. [MELACHIM ALEF 19:20]
62 But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, No one having put his hand upon the plow yet looking back to the things behind is fit for the Malchut Hashem. [BERESHIS 19:26]

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.
