Misión de los doce

Reuniendo a los doce, les dio poder y autoridad sobre todos los demonios(A) y para sanar enfermedades. Y los envió a proclamar el reino de Dios(B) y a sanar a los enfermos. 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). En cualquier casa donde entréis, quedaos allí, y sea de allí vuestra salida. 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). Entonces salieron, e iban por las aldeas anunciando(F) el evangelio y sanando por todas partes.

Herodes oye hablar de Jesús

(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, otros, que Elías había aparecido, y otros, que algún profeta(J) de los antiguos había resucitado. 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.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)

When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons(C) and to cure diseases,(D) and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God(E) and to heal the sick. He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.(F) Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”(G) So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.

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) others that Elijah had appeared,(K) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(L) 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.”

  1. Luke 9:31 Greek exodos
  2. Luke 9:54 Some manuscripts them, just as Elijah did

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

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.

And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

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;

And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

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.
