Lucas 9
Magandang Balita Biblia
Isinugo ang Labindalawa(A)
9 Tinipon ni Jesus ang Labindalawa at binigyan sila ng kapangyarihan at karapatang magpalayas ng mga demonyo at magpagaling ng mga may sakit. 2 Isinugo sila ni Jesus upang mangaral tungkol sa kaharian ng Diyos at upang magpagaling ng mga maysakit. 3 Sila'y(B) pinagbilinan niya, “Huwag kayong magbabaon ng anuman sa inyong paglalakbay, kahit tungkod, balutan, tinapay, salapi, o bihisan man. 4 Makituloy kayo sa sinumang tumanggap sa inyo, at manatili kayo sa bahay nito hanggang sa pag-alis ninyo sa bayang iyon. 5 Kung(C) hindi naman kayo tanggapin ng mga tao sa isang bayan, umalis kayo roon at ipagpag ninyo ang alikabok sa inyong mga paa bilang babala laban sa kanila.”
6 Kaya't humayo ang mga alagad at pumunta sa mga nayon. Ipinangaral nila ang Magandang Balita at pinagaling ang mga maysakit sa lahat ng dako.
Ang Pagkabalisa ni Herodes(D)
7 Nabalitaan(E) ni Herodes na pinuno ng Galilea ang lahat ng mga nangyayari. Nabagabag siya sapagkat may nagsasabing muling nabuhay si Juan na Tagapagbautismo. 8 Sinasabi naman ng iba, “Nagpakita si Elias.” May nagsasabi pang, “Ang isa sa mga propeta noong unang panahon ay muling nabuhay.” 9 Ngunit sinabi ni Herodes, “Pinapugutan ko na si Juan. Sino kaya ang lalaking ito? Marami na akong nababalitaan tungkol sa kanya.” Kaya sinikap niyang makita si Jesus.
Ang Pagpapakain sa Limanlibo(F)
10 Pagbalik ng mga apostol, isinalaysay nila kay Jesus ang lahat ng kanilang ginawa. Pagkatapos, umalis si Jesus kasama ang mga alagad papunta sa bayan ng Bethsaida. 11 Sinundan siya ng mga tao nang malaman ito, at malugod naman silang tinanggap ni Jesus. Nagsalita siya sa mga tao tungkol sa kaharian ng Diyos at pinagaling niya ang mga may karamdaman.
12 Nang malapit nang lumubog ang araw, nilapitan siya ng Labindalawa at sinabi nila, “Paalisin na po ninyo ang mga tao upang makahanap sila ng makakain at matutuluyan sa mga nayon sa paligid. Nasa liblib na lugar po tayo.”
13 Ngunit sinabi niya, “Kayo ang magbigay sa kanila ng makakain.”
Sumagot naman ang mga alagad, “Wala po tayong pagkain kundi limang tinapay at dalawang isda. Bibili po ba kami ng pagkain para sa lahat ng taong ito?” 14 Halos limanlibo ang mga lalaking naroon.
Sinabi niya sa kanyang mga alagad, “Paupuin ninyo ang mga tao nang lima-limampu.”
15 Pinaupo nga nila ang lahat. 16 Kinuha ni Jesus ang limang tinapay at dalawang isda, tumingin sa langit at nagpasalamat sa Diyos. Pinaghati-hati niya ang mga tinapay at isda at ibinigay sa kanyang mga alagad upang ipamahagi sa mga tao. 17 Silang lahat ay nakakain at nabusog. Nang ipunin ng mga alagad ang lumabis na pagkain, nakapuno pa sila ng labindalawang kaing.
Ang Pahayag ni Pedro tungkol kay Jesus(G)
18 Isang araw, habang si Jesus ay nananalanging mag-isa, lumapit sa kanya ang mga alagad. Tinanong sila ni Jesus, “Ano ang sinasabi ng mga tao tungkol sa akin? Sino raw ako?”
19 Sumagot(H) sila, “Ang sabi po ng ilan, kayo si Juan na Tagapagbautismo; sabi naman po ng iba, kayo si Elias; may nagsasabi namang muling nabuhay ang isa sa mga propeta noong unang panahon.”
20 “Kayo(I) naman, ano ang sabi ninyo?” tanong niya sa kanila. “Kayo po ang Cristo ng Diyos!” sagot ni Pedro.
21 Mahigpit na itinagubilin ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad na huwag nilang sasabihin ito kaninuman.
Ipinahayag ni Jesus ang tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan(J)
22 Sinabi pa niya sa kanila, “Ang Anak ng Tao'y dapat magdanas ng matinding hirap. Itatakwil siya ng mga pinuno ng bayan, ng mga punong pari at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Siya ay papatayin ngunit sa ikatlong araw ay muli siyang mabubuhay.”
23 At(K) sinabi niya sa kanilang lahat, “Ang sinumang nagnanais sumunod sa akin ay kinakailangang itakwil ang kanyang sarili, pasanin araw-araw ang kanyang krus, at sumunod sa akin. 24 Ang(L) naghahangad na magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito, ngunit ang mawalan ng kanyang buhay alang-alang sa akin ay magkakamit nito. 25 Ano nga ang mapapala ng tao, makamtan man niya ang buong daigdig kung mapapahamak naman at mawawala ang kanyang buhay? 26 Kapag ako at ang aking mga salita ay ikakahiya ninuman, ikakahiya rin siya ng Anak ng Tao pagparito niya na taglay ang kanyang karangalan at ang karangalan ng Ama at ng mga banal na anghel. 27 Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo: may ilan sa inyo ritong hindi mamamatay hangga't hindi nila nakikita ang kaharian ng Diyos.”
Ang Pagbabagong-anyo ni Jesus(M)
28 Makalipas(N) ang halos walong araw pagkatapos sabihin ni Jesus ang mga ito, umakyat siya sa bundok upang manalangin. Isinama niya sina Pedro, Juan at Santiago. 29 Habang siya'y nananalangin, nagbago ang anyo ng kanyang mukha at ang kanyang kasuotan ay nagningning sa kaputian. 30 Biglang may lumitaw na dalawang lalaki na nakikipag-usap sa kanya, sina Moises at Elias, 31 na nagpakitang may kaningningan. Pinag-usapan nila ang pagpanaw ni Jesus na malapit na niyang isakatuparan sa Jerusalem.
32 Natutulog sina Pedro noon at paggising nila ay nakita nila si Jesus na nakakasilaw ang anyo at may dalawang lalaking nakatayo sa tabi niya. 33 Nang papaalis na ang mga lalaki, sinabi ni Pedro, “Panginoon, mabuti po at nandito kami. Magtatayo po kami ng tatlong tolda, isa para sa inyo, isa kay Moises, at isa kay Elias.”—ngunit hindi niya nalalaman ang kanyang sinasabi. 34 Nagsasalita pa siya nang liliman sila ng ulap, at natakot sila nang matakpan sila nito. 35 May isang(O) tinig na nagsalita mula sa ulap, “Ito ang aking Anak, ang aking Hinirang.[a] Pakinggan ninyo siya!” 36 Nang mawala ang tinig, nakita nilang nag-iisa na si Jesus. Hindi muna ipinamalita ng mga alagad ang kanilang nakita.
Pinagaling ang Sinasaniban ng Masamang Espiritu(P)
37 Kinabukasan, bumabâ sila mula sa bundok at si Jesus ay sinalubong ng napakaraming tao. 38 Mula sa karamihan ay may isang lalaking sumigaw, “Guro, nakikiusap ako sa inyo, tingnan po ninyo ang kaisa-isa kong anak na lalaki! 39 Sinasaniban siya ng isang espiritu at bigla na lamang siyang nagsisisigaw at nangingisay hanggang sa bumula ang bibig. Lubha po siyang pinapahirapan at halos ayaw nang tigilan nito. 40 Nakiusap po ako sa inyong mga alagad na palayasin nila ito ngunit hindi nila magawa.”
41 Sumagot si Jesus, “Lahing napakasama at walang pananampalataya! Hanggang kailan pa ako dapat manatiling kasama ninyo? Hanggang kailan ko kayo pagtitiisan?” At sinabi niya sa lalaki, “Dalhin ninyo rito ang iyong anak.”
42 Nang papalapit na ang bata, pinangisay na naman ito ng demonyo at bumagsak sa lupa. Ngunit sinaway ni Jesus ang masamang espiritu at pinagaling ang bata; pagkatapos ay ibinigay sa ama nito. 43 At namangha ang mga tao sa nakita nilang kapangyarihan ng Diyos.
Muling Binanggit ni Jesus ang Kanyang Kamatayan(Q)
Hangang-hanga ang lahat ng mga tao sa ginawa ni Jesus, ngunit sinabi niya sa kanyang mga alagad, 44 “Pakinggan ninyo at tandaan itong sasabihin ko: ang Anak ng Tao ay ipagkakanulo sa kamay ng mga tao.” 45 Ngunit hindi nila ito naunawaan sapagkat inilihim sa kanila ang kahulugan nito. Natakot naman silang magtanong sa kanya kung ano ang ibig niyang sabihin.
Ang Pinakadakila(R)
46 At(S) nagtalu-talo ang mga alagad kung sino sa kanila ang pinakadakila. 47 Alam ni Jesus ang kanilang iniisip kaya't tinawag niya ang isang maliit na bata at pinatayo sa tabi niya. 48 Pagkatapos(T) ay sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ang sinumang tumatanggap sa batang ito alang-alang sa akin ay tumatanggap sa akin; at ang sinumang tumatanggap sa akin ay tumatanggap sa nagsugo sa akin. Ang pinakaaba sa inyong lahat ay siyang pinakadakila.”
Kakampi Natin ang Hindi Laban sa Atin(U)
49 Sinabi ni Juan, “Panginoon, nakakita po kami ng isang taong nagpapalayas ng mga demonyo sa inyong pangalan. Pinagbawalan po namin siya sapagkat hindi natin siya kasamahan.”
50 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Huwag ninyo siyang pagbawalan, sapagkat ang hindi laban sa inyo ay kakampi ninyo.”
Hindi Tinanggap si Jesus sa Isang Nayon sa Samaria
51 Nang nalalapit na ang panahong iaakyat si Jesus sa langit, buo na ang kanyang kapasyahang pumunta sa Jerusalem. 52 Sinugo niya ang ilan upang mauna sa kanya. Pumunta sila sa isang nayon sa Samaria upang ipaghanda siya ng matutuluyan. 53 Ngunit ayaw siyang patuluyin ng mga Samaritano dahil buo na ang kanyang kapasyahang pumunta sa Jerusalem. 54 Nang(V) makita ito nina Santiago at Juan, sinabi nila, “Panginoon, gusto ba ninyong magpaulan kami ng apoy mula sa langit upang sila'y lipulin [tulad ng ginawa ni Elias]?[b]”
55 Ngunit hinarap sila ni Jesus at sila'y pinagalitan. [“Hindi ninyo alam kung anong espiritu ang nasa inyo. Ang Anak ng Tao ay naparito hindi upang ipahamak kundi iligtas ang mga tao.”][c] 56 At nagpunta sila sa ibang nayon.
Pagsunod kay Jesus(W)
57 Samantalang sila'y naglalakad, may isang lalaking lumapit at nagsabi kay Jesus, “Susunod po ako sa inyo kahit saan kayo pumunta.” 58 Sumagot si Jesus, “May lungga ang asong-gubat, at may pugad ang mga ibon, ngunit ang Anak ng Tao ay wala man lamang mapagpahingahan.” 59 At sinabi naman niya sa isa, “Sumunod ka sa akin.” Ngunit sumagot ito, “Panginoon, hayaan lang po muna ninyong maipalibing ko ang aking ama.” 60 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Hayaan mo na ang mga patay ang maglibing sa kanilang mga patay. Ngunit humayo ka at ipahayag mo ang kaharian ng Diyos.” 61 May(X) isa namang nagsabi sa kanya, “Susunod po ako sa inyo, Panginoon, ngunit hayaan ninyong magpaalam muna ako sa aking pamilya.” 62 At ganito naman ang tugon ni Jesus, “Sinumang nagsimulang mag-araro ngunit panay ang lingon ay hindi karapat-dapat sa kaharian ng Diyos.”

Luke 9
New King James Version
Sending Out the Twelve(A)
9 Then (B)He called His twelve disciples together and (C)gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 (D)He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 (E)And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.
4 (F)“Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 (G)And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, (H)shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6 (I)So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
Herod Seeks to See Jesus(J)
7 (K)Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, 8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 9 Herod said, “John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?” (L)So he sought to see Him.
Feeding the Five Thousand(M)
10 (N)And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. (O)Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. 12 (P)When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.”
13 But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.”
And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.” 14 For there were about five thousand men.
Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He (Q)blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 So they all ate and were [a]filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ(R)
18 (S)And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
19 So they answered and said, (T)“John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
(U)Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(V)
21 (W)And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, (X)“The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”
Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(Y)
23 (Z)Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross [b]daily, and follow Me. 24 (AA)For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25 (AB)For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? 26 (AC)For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be (AD)ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels. 27 (AE)But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”
Jesus Transfigured on the Mount(AF)
28 (AG)Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. 30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were (AH)Moses and (AI)Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His [c]decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and those with him (AJ)were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him. 33 Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three [d]tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.
34 While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the (AK)cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, (AL)“This is [e]My beloved Son. (AM)Hear Him!” 36 When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. (AN)But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
A Boy Is Healed(AO)
37 (AP)Now it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him. 38 Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child. 39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him. 40 So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
41 Then Jesus answered and said, “O [f]faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and [g]bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42 And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.
Jesus Again Predicts His Death(AQ)
43 And they were all amazed at the majesty of God.
But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples, 44 (AR)“Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.” 45 (AS)But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.
Who Is the Greatest?(AT)
46 (AU)Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest. 47 And Jesus, (AV)perceiving the thought of their heart, took a (AW)little child and set him by Him, 48 and said to them, (AX)“Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and (AY)whoever receives Me (AZ)receives Him who sent Me. (BA)For he who is least among you all will be great.”
Jesus Forbids Sectarianism(BB)
49 (BC)Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for (BD)he who is not against [h]us is on [i]our side.”
A Samaritan Village Rejects the Savior
51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for (BE)Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But (BF)they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples (BG)James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, [j]just as (BH)Elijah did?”
55 But He turned and rebuked them, [k]and said, “You do not know what manner of (BI)spirit you are of. 56 [l]For (BJ)the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.
The Cost of Discipleship(BK)
57 (BL)Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man (BM)has nowhere to lay His head.”
59 (BN)Then He said to another, “Follow Me.”
But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”
61 And another also said, “Lord, (BO)I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is (BP)fit for the kingdom of God.”
