Jesus envia os doze apóstolos

Jesus reuniu os Doze[a] e lhes deu poder e autoridade para expulsar todos os demônios e curar enfermidades. Depois, enviou-os para anunciar o reino de Deus e curar os enfermos. Ele os instruiu, dizendo: “Não levem coisa alguma em sua jornada. Não levem cajado, nem bolsa de viagem, nem comida, nem dinheiro,[b] nem mesmo uma muda de roupa extra. Aonde quer que forem, hospedem-se na mesma casa até partirem da cidade. E, se uma cidade se recusar a recebê-los, sacudam a poeira dos pés ao saírem, em sinal de reprovação”.

Então começaram a percorrer os povoados, anunciando as boas-novas e curando os enfermos.

A perplexidade de Herodes

Quando Herodes Antipas[c] ouviu falar de tudo que Jesus fazia, ficou perplexo, pois alguns diziam que João Batista havia ressuscitado dos mortos. Outros acreditavam que Jesus era Elias, ou um dos antigos profetas que tinha voltado à vida.

“Eu decapitei João”, dizia Herodes. “Então quem é o homem sobre quem ouço essas histórias?” E procurava ver Jesus.

A primeira multiplicação dos pães

10 Quando os apóstolos voltaram, contaram a Jesus tudo que tinham feito. Em seguida, Jesus se retirou para a cidade de Betsaida, a fim de estar a sós com eles. 11 As multidões descobriram seu paradeiro e o seguiram. Ele as recebeu, ensinou-lhes a respeito do reino de Deus e curou os que estavam enfermos.

12 No fim da tarde, os Doze se aproximaram e lhe disseram: “Mande as multidões aos povoados e campos vizinhos, para que encontrem comida e abrigo para passar a noite, pois estamos num lugar isolado”.

13 Jesus, porém, disse: “Providenciem vocês mesmos alimento para eles”.

“Temos apenas cinco pães e dois peixes”, responderam. “Ou o senhor espera que compremos comida para todo esse povo?” 14 Havia ali cerca de cinco mil homens.

Jesus respondeu: “Digam a eles que se sentem em grupos de cinquenta”. 15 Os discípulos seguiram sua instrução, e todos se sentaram. 16 Jesus tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes, olhou para o céu e os abençoou. Então, partiu-os em pedaços e os entregou aos discípulos para que distribuíssem ao povo. 17 Todos comeram à vontade, e os discípulos encheram ainda doze cestos com as sobras.

Pedro declara sua fé

18 Certo dia, Jesus orava em particular, acompanhado apenas dos discípulos. Ele lhes perguntou: “Quem as multidões dizem que eu sou?”.

19 Os discípulos responderam: “Alguns dizem que o senhor é João Batista; outros, que é Elias; e outros ainda, que é um dos profetas antigos que ressuscitou”.

20 “E vocês?”, perguntou ele. “Quem vocês dizem que eu sou?”

Pedro respondeu: “O senhor é o Cristo enviado por Deus!”.

Jesus prediz sua morte

21 Jesus advertiu severamente seus discípulos de que não dissessem a ninguém quem ele era. 22 “É necessário que o Filho do Homem sofra muitas coisas”, disse. “Ele será rejeitado pelos líderes do povo, pelos principais sacerdotes e pelos mestres da lei. Será morto, mas no terceiro dia ressuscitará.”

Ensino sobre discipulado

23 Disse ele à multidão: “Se alguém quer ser meu seguidor, negue a si mesmo, tome diariamente sua cruz e siga-me. 24 Se tentar se apegar à sua vida, a perderá. Mas, se abrir mão de sua vida por minha causa, a salvará. 25 Que vantagem há em ganhar o mundo inteiro, mas perder ou destruir a própria vida? 26 Se alguém se envergonhar de mim e de minha mensagem, o Filho do Homem se envergonhará dele quando vier em sua glória e na glória do Pai e dos santos anjos. 27 Eu lhes digo a verdade: alguns que aqui estão não morrerão antes de ver o reino de Deus!”.

A transfiguração

28 Cerca de oito dias depois, Jesus levou consigo Pedro, João e Tiago a um monte para orar. 29 Enquanto ele orava, a aparência de seu rosto foi transformada, e suas roupas se tornaram brancas e resplandecentes. 30 De repente, Moisés e Elias apareceram e começaram a falar com Jesus. 31 Tinham um aspecto glorioso e falavam sobre a partida de Jesus, que estava para se cumprir em Jerusalém.

32 Pedro e os outros lutavam contra o sono, mas acabaram despertando e viram a glória de Jesus e os dois homens que estavam com ele. 33 Quando Moisés e Elias iam se retirando, Pedro, sem saber o que dizia, falou: “Mestre, é maravilhoso estarmos aqui! Vamos fazer três tendas: uma será sua, uma de Moisés e outra de Elias”. 34 Enquanto ele ainda falava, uma nuvem surgiu e os envolveu, enchendo-os de medo.

35 Então uma voz que vinha da nuvem disse: “Este é meu Filho, meu Escolhido.[d] Ouçam-no!”. 36 Quando a voz silenciou, só Jesus estava ali. Naquela ocasião, os discípulos não contaram a ninguém o que tinham visto.

Jesus cura um menino possuído por demônio

37 No dia seguinte, quando desceram do monte, uma grande multidão veio ao encontro de Jesus. 38 Um homem na multidão gritou: “Mestre, suplico-lhe que veja meu filho, o único que tenho! 39 Um espírito impuro se apodera dele e o faz gritar. Lança-o em convulsões e o faz espumar pela boca. Sacode-o violentamente e quase nunca o deixa em paz. 40 Supliquei a seus discípulos que o expulsassem, mas eles não conseguiram”.

41 Jesus disse: “Geração incrédula e corrompida! Até quando estarei com vocês e terei de suportá-los?”. Então disse ao homem: “Traga-me seu filho”.

42 Quando o menino se aproximou, o demônio o derrubou no chão, numa convulsão violenta. Jesus, porém, repreendeu o espírito impuro, curou o menino e o devolveu ao pai. 43 Todos se espantaram com a grandiosidade do poder de Deus.

Jesus prediz sua morte pela segunda vez

Enquanto todos se maravilhavam com seus feitos, Jesus disse aos discípulos: 44 “Ouçam-me e lembrem-se do que lhes digo: o Filho do Homem será traído e entregue em mãos humanas”. 45 Eles, porém, não entendiam essas coisas. O significado estava escondido deles, de modo que não eram capazes de compreender e tinham medo de perguntar.

O maior no reino

46 Os discípulos começaram a discutir sobre qual deles seria o maior. 47 Jesus, conhecendo seus pensamentos, trouxe para junto de si uma criança pequena 48 e disse: “Quem recebe uma criança como esta em meu nome recebe a mim, e quem me recebe também recebe aquele que me enviou. Portanto, o menor entre vocês será o maior”.

O uso do nome de Jesus

49 João disse a Jesus: “Mestre, vimos alguém usar seu nome para expulsar demônios; nós o proibimos, pois ele não era do nosso grupo”.

50 “Não o proíbam!”, disse Jesus. “Quem não é contra vocês é a favor de vocês.”

A oposição dos samaritanos

51 Como se aproximava o tempo de ser elevado ao céu, Jesus partiu com determinação para Jerusalém. 52 Enviou mensageiros adiante até um povoado samaritano, a fim de fazerem os preparativos para sua chegada. 53 Contudo, os habitantes do povoado não receberam Jesus, porque parecia evidente que ele estava a caminho de Jerusalém. 54 Percebendo isso, Tiago e João disseram a Jesus: “Senhor, quer que mandemos cair fogo do céu para consumi-los?”.[e] 55 Jesus, porém, se voltou para eles e os repreendeu.[f] 56 E seguiram para outro povoado.

O preço de seguir Jesus

57 Quando andavam pelo caminho, alguém disse a Jesus: “Eu o seguirei aonde quer que vá”.

58 Jesus respondeu: “As raposas têm tocas onde morar e as aves têm ninhos, mas o Filho do Homem não tem sequer um lugar para recostar a cabeça”.

59 E a outra pessoa ele disse: “Siga-me”.

O homem, porém, respondeu: “Senhor, deixe-me primeiro sepultar meu pai”.

60 Jesus respondeu: “Deixe que os mortos sepultem seus próprios mortos. Você, porém, deve ir e anunciar o reino de Deus”.

61 Outro, ainda, disse: “Senhor, eu o seguirei, mas deixe que antes me despeça de minha família”.

62 Mas Jesus lhe disse: “Quem põe a mão no arado e olha para trás não está apto para o reino de Deus”.

Sending Out the Twelve(A)

Then (B)He called His twelve disciples together and (C)gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. (D)He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. (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.

(F)“Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. (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.”

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

Herod Seeks to See Jesus(J)

(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, and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 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.”

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

(A)And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, (B)and he sent them out to (C)proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. (D)And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, (E)no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.[a] And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town (F)shake off the dust from your feet (G)as a testimony (H)against them.” (I)And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

Herod Is Perplexed by Jesus

(J)Now (K)Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that (L)John had been raised from the dead, (M)by some that Elijah had appeared, and (N)by others that one of the prophets of old had risen. Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And (O)he sought to see him.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

10 On their return (P)the apostles told him all that they had done. (Q)And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. 11 When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he (R)welcomed them and (S)spoke to them of the kingdom of God and (T)cured those who had need of healing. 12 Now (U)the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, (V)“Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.” 13 But he said to them, (W)“You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than (X)five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” 14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, (Y)he looked up to heaven and (Z)said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

18 (AA)Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 And they answered, (AB)“John the Baptist. But others say, (AC)Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” 20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, (AD)“The Christ of God.”

Jesus Foretells His Death

21 (AE)And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 (AF)saying, (AG)“The Son of Man must (AH)suffer many things and (AI)be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on (AJ)the third day be raised.”

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him (AK)deny himself and (AL)take up his cross (AM)daily and follow me. 24 For (AN)whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 (AO)For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26 For (AP)whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed (AQ)when he comes in (AR)his glory and the glory of the Father and of (AS)the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not (AT)taste death (AU)until they see the kingdom of God.”

The Transfiguration

28 (AV)Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him (AW)Peter and John and James and (AX)went up on the mountain to pray. 29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was (AY)altered, and (AZ)his clothing became dazzling white. 30 And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure,[b] which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 Now Peter and those who were with him (BA)were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake (BB)they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33 And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three (BC)tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—(BD)not knowing what he said. 34 As he was saying these things, (BE)a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 And (BF)a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, (BG)my Chosen One;[c] (BH)listen to him!” 36 And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. (BI)And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit

37 (BJ)On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. 38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for (BK)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 shatters him, and will hardly leave him. 40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but (BL)they could not.” 41 Jesus answered, “O (BM)faithless and twisted generation, (BN)how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42 While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus (BO)rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and (BP)gave him back to his father. 43 And all were astonished at (BQ)the majesty of God.

Jesus Again Foretells His Death

(BR)But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus[d] said (BS)to his disciples, 44 “Let these words sink into your ears: (BT)The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.” 45 (BU)But they did not understand this saying, and (BV)it was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

Who Is the Greatest?

46 (BW)An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. 47 But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side 48 and said to them, (BX)“Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and (BY)whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For (BZ)he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”

Anyone Not Against Us Is For Us

49 (CA)John answered, “Master, we saw someone (CB)casting out demons in your name, and (CC)we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.” 50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, (CD)for the one who is not against you is for you.”

A Samaritan Village Rejects Jesus

51 When the days drew near for (CE)him to be taken up, (CF)he set his face (CG)to go to Jerusalem. 52 And (CH)he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of (CI)the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53 But (CJ)the people did not receive him, because (CK)his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell (CL)fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”[e] 55 But he turned and rebuked them.[f] 56 And they went on to another village.

The Cost of Following Jesus

57 As they were going (CM)along the road, (CN)someone said to him, “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 has nowhere to lay his head.” 59 To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 And Jesus[g] said to him, “Leave (CO)the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and (CP)proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, (CQ)but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62 Jesus said to him, (CR)“No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
