Er forderte aber die Zwölf zusammen und gab ihnen Gewalt und Macht über alle Teufel und daß sie Seuchen heilen konnten,

und sandte sie aus, zu predigen das Reich Gottes und zu heilen die Kranken.

Und sprach zu ihnen: Ihr sollt nichts mit euch nehmen auf den Weg, weder Stab noch Tasche noch Brot noch Geld; es soll auch einer nicht zwei Röcke haben.

Und wo ihr in ein Haus geht, da bleibet, bis ihr von dannen zieht.

Und welche euch nicht aufnehmen, da gehet aus von derselben Stadt und schüttelt auch den Staub ab von euren Füßen zu einem Zeugnis über sie.

Und sie gingen hinaus und durchzogen die Märkte, predigten das Evangelium und machten gesund an allen Enden.

Es kam aber vor Herodes, den Vierfürsten, alles, was durch ihn geschah; und er ward betreten, dieweil von etlichen gesagt ward; Johannes ist von den Toten auferstanden;

von etlichen aber: Elia ist erschienen; von etlichen aber: Es ist der alten Propheten einer auferstanden.

Und Herodes sprach: Johannes, den habe ich enthauptet; wer ist aber dieser, von dem ich solches höre? und begehrte ihn zu sehen.

10 Und die Apostel kamen wieder und erzählten ihm, wie große Dinge sie getan hatten. Und er nahm sie zu sich und entwich besonders in eine Wüste bei der Stadt, die da heißt Bethsaida.

11 Da das Volk des inneward, zog es ihm nach. Und er ließ sie zu sich und sagte ihnen vom Reich Gottes und machte gesund, die es bedurften. Aber der Tag fing an, sich zu neigen.

12 Da traten zu ihm die Zwölf und sprachen zu ihm: Laß das Volk von dir, daß sie hingehen in die Märkte umher und in die Dörfer, daß sie Herberge und Speise finden, denn wir sind hier in der Wüste.

13 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Gebt ihr ihnen zu essen. Sie sprachen, wir haben nicht mehr denn fünf Brote und zwei Fische; es sei denn, daß wir hingehen sollen und Speise kaufen für so großes Volk.

14 (Denn es waren bei fünftausend Mann.) Er sprach aber zu seinen Jüngern: Lasset sie sich setzen in Schichten, je fünfzig und fünfzig.

15 Und sie taten also, und es setzten sich alle.

16 Da nahm er die fünf Brote und zwei Fische und sah auf gen Himmel und dankte darüber, brach sie und gab sie den Jüngern, daß sie dem Volk vorlegten.

17 Und sie aßen und wurden alle satt; und wurden aufgehoben, was ihnen übrigblieb von Brocken, zwölf Körbe.

18 Und es begab sich, da er allein war und betete und seine Jünger zu ihm traten, fragte er sie und sprach: Wer sagen die Leute, daß ich sei?

19 Sie antworteten und sprachen: Sie sagen, du seist Johannes der Täufer; etliche aber, du seist Elia; etliche aber, es sei der alten Propheten einer auferstanden.

20 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Wer saget ihr aber, daß ich sei? Da antwortete Petrus und sprach: Du bist der Christus Gottes!

21 Und er bedrohte sie und gebot, daß sie das niemand sagten,

22 und sprach: Des Menschen Sohn muß noch viel leiden und verworfen werden von den Ältesten und Hohenpriestern und Schriftgelehrten und getötet werden und am dritten Tage auferstehen.

23 Da sprach er zu ihnen allen: Wer mir folgen will, der verleugne sich selbst und nehme sein Kreuz auf sich täglich und folge mir nach.

24 Denn wer sein Leben erhalten will, der wird es verlieren; wer aber sein Leben verliert um meinetwillen, der wird's erhalten.

25 Und welchen Nutzen hätte der Mensch, ob er die ganze Welt gewönne, und verlöre sich selbst oder beschädigte sich selbst?

26 Wer sich aber mein und meiner Worte schämt, des wird sich des Menschen Sohn auch schämen, wenn er kommen wird in seiner Herrlichkeit und seines Vaters und der heiligen Engel.

27 Ich sage euch aber wahrlich, daß etliche sind von denen, die hier stehen, die den Tod nicht schmecken werden, bis daß sie das Reich Gottes sehen.

28 Und es begab sich nach diesen Reden bei acht Tagen, daß er zu sich nahm Petrus, Johannes und Jakobus und ging auf einen Berg, zu beten.

29 Und da er betete, ward die Gestalt seines Angesichts anders, und sein Kleid ward weiß und glänzte.

30 Und siehe, zwei Männer redeten mit ihm, welche waren Mose und Elia;

31 die erschienen in Klarheit und redeten von dem Ausgang, welchen er sollte erfüllen zu Jerusalem.

32 Petrus aber, und die mit ihm waren, waren voll Schlafs. Da sie aber aufwachten, sahen sie seine Klarheit und die zwei Männer bei ihm stehen.

33 Und es begab sich, da die von ihm wichen, sprach Petrus zu Jesu: Meister, hier ist gut sein. Lasset uns drei Hütten machen: dir eine, Mose eine und Elia eine. Und er wußte nicht, was er redete.

34 Da er aber solches redete, kam eine Wolke und überschattete sie; und sie erschraken, da sie die Wolke überzog.

35 Und es fiel eine Stimme aus der Wolke, die sprach: Dieser ist mein lieber Sohn; den sollt ihr hören!

36 Und indem solche Stimme geschah, fanden sie Jesum allein. Und sie verschwiegen es und verkündigten niemand in jenen Tagen, was sie gesehen hatten.

37 Es begab sich aber den Tag hernach, da sie von dem Berge kamen, kam ihnen entgegen viel Volks.

38 Und siehe, ein Mann unter dem Volk rief und sprach: Meister, ich bitte dich, besiehe doch meinen Sohn, denn er ist mein einziger Sohn.

39 Siehe, der Geist ergreift ihn, so schreit er alsbald, und reißt ihn, daß er schäumt, und mit Not weicht er von ihm, wenn er ihn gerissen hat.

40 Und ich habe deine Jünger gebeten, daß sie ihn austrieben, und sie konnten nicht.

41 Da antwortete Jesus und sprach: O du ungläubige und verkehrte Art, wie lange soll ich bei euch sein und euch dulden? Bringe deinen Sohn her!

42 Und da er zu ihm kam, riß ihn der Teufel und zerrte ihn. Jesus aber bedrohte den unsauberen Geist und machte den Knaben gesund und gab ihn seinem Vater wieder.

43 Und sie entsetzten sich alle über die Herrlichkeit Gottes. Da sie sich aber alle verwunderten über alles, was er tat, sprach er zu seinen Jüngern:

44 Fasset ihr zu euren Ohren diese Rede: Des Menschen Sohn muß überantwortet werden in der Menschen Hände.

45 Aber das Wort verstanden sie nicht, und es ward vor ihnen verborgen, daß sie es nicht begriffen. Und sie fürchteten sich, ihn zu fragen um dieses Wort.

46 Es kam auch ein Gedanke unter sie, welcher unter ihnen der Größte wäre.

47 Da aber Jesus den Gedanken ihres Herzens sah, ergriff er ein Kind und stellte es neben sich

48 und sprach zu ihnen: Wer dies Kind aufnimmt in meinem Namen, der nimmt mich auf; und wer mich aufnimmt, der nimmt den auf, der mich gesandt hat. Welcher aber der Kleinste ist unter euch allen, der wird groß sein.

49 Da antwortete Johannes und sprach: Meister, wir sahen einen, der trieb die Teufel aus in deinem Namen; und wir wehrten ihm, denn er folgt dir nicht mit uns.

50 Und Jesus sprach zu ihm: Wehret ihm nicht; denn wer nicht wider uns ist, der ist für uns.

51 Es begab sich aber, da die Zeit erfüllet war, daß er sollte von hinnen genommen werden, wendete er sein Angesicht, stracks gen Jerusalem zu wandeln.

52 Und er sandte Boten vor sich hin; die gingen hin und kamen in einen Markt der Samariter, daß sie ihm Herberge bestellten.

53 Und sie nahmen ihn nicht an, darum daß er sein Angesicht gewendet hatte, zu wandeln gen Jerusalem.

54 Da aber das seine Jünger Jakobus und Johannes sahen, sprachen sie: HERR, willst du, so wollen wir sagen, daß Feuer vom Himmel falle und verzehre sie, wie Elia tat.

55 Jesus aber wandte sich um und bedrohte sie und sprach: Wisset ihr nicht, welches Geistes Kinder ihr seid?

56 Des Menschen Sohn ist nicht gekommen, der Menschen Seelen zu verderben, sondern zu erhalten.

57 Und sie gingen in einen anderen Markt. Es begab sich aber, da sie auf dem Wege waren, sprach einer zu ihm: Ich will dir folgen, wo du hin gehst.

58 Und Jesus sprach zu ihm: Die Füchse haben Gruben, und die Vögel unter dem Himmel haben Nester; aber des Menschen Sohn hat nicht, da er sein Haupt hin lege.

59 Und er sprach zu einem andern: Folge mir nach! Der sprach aber: HERR, erlaube mir, daß ich zuvor hingehe und meinen Vater begrabe.

60 Aber Jesus sprach zu ihm: Laß die Toten ihre Toten begraben; gehe du aber hin und verkündige das Reich Gottes!

61 Und ein anderer sprach: HERR, ich will dir nachfolgen; aber erlaube mir zuvor, daß ich einen Abschied mache mit denen, die in meinem Hause sind.

62 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Wer seine Hand an den Pflug legt und sieht zurück, der ist nicht geschickt zum Reich Gottes.

Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases.

And He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to cure the sick.

And He said to them, “Take nothing on your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor have two tunics apiece.

“And whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there.

“And however many will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

And they went out and went through every town preaching the Gospel and healing everywhere.

Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that had been done by Him. And he doubted, because it was said by some that John had risen again from the dead.

And by some that Elijah had appeared. And by some that one of the old Prophets had risen again.

Then Herod said, “John I have beheaded. Who then is this of Whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see Him.

10 And when the Apostles returned, they told Him what great things they had done. Then He took them and went aside into a solitary place, near the city called Bethsaida.

11 But when the people knew of it, they followed Him. And He received them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and healed those needing to be healed.

12 And when the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the people away, so that they may go into the surrounding towns and villages, and lodge, and get food. For we are here in a desert place.

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 all sit down.

16 Then He took the five loaves, and the two fish, and looked up to Heaven and blessed them; and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the people.

17 So they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces from what remained.

18 And it happened that as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him. And He asked them, saying, “Whom do the people say that I am?”

19 They answered, and said, “John Baptist. And others say, Elijah. And some say that one of the old Prophets has risen again.”

20 And He said to them, “But Whom do you say that I am?” Peter answered, and said, “The Christ of God.”

21 And He warned and commanded them to tell that to no one,

22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, and by the chief priests and scribes, and be killed; and the third day rise again.”

23 And He said to them all, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

24 “For whoever would save his life, shall lose it. And whoever shall lose his life, for my sake, the same shall save it.

25 "For what does it benefit a man if he wins the whole world and destroys himself, or loses himself?

26 “For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and My words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed when He shall come in His own Glory, and in the Glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

27 “And I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Kingdom of God.”

28 And it happened that about eight days after those words, He took Peter and John, and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

29 And as He prayed, the appearance of His face was changed. And His clothes became white and radiant.

30 And behold, two men talked with Him (who were Moses and Elijah),

31 They appeared in glory and told of His departure which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.

32 But Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep. And when they awoke, they saw His Glory, and the two men standing with him.

33 And it happened that as they departed from Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Therefore, let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

34 While he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And they were afraid 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 after the voice spoke, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret and told no one in those days anything they had seen.

37 And it happened that on the next day, as they came down from the mountain, many people met Him.

38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Master, I beg You! Look upon my son! For he is all that I have!

39 “And lo, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries. And he convulses him, so that he foams at the mouth. And when he has bruised him, he departs from him roughly.

40 “Now I have begged Your disciples to cast him out, but they could not.

41 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation! How long now shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

42 And while He was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and returned him to his father.

43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. And while they all wondered at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

44 “Let these words sink down into your ears. For the time will come when the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of man.”

45 But they did not understand that word, for it was hidden from them. So, they could not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask Him about that word.

46 Then a dispute arose among them: which one of them should be the greatest.

47 When Jesus saw the thoughts of their hearts, He took a little child and set him by Him.

48 And He said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My Name, receives Me. And whoever shall receive Me, receives Him Who sent Me. For the one who is least among you all shall be great.”

49 And John answered and said, “Master, we saw one casting out demons in Your Name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”

50 Then Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him. For whoever is not against us, is with us.”

51 And it happened that when it was time for Him to be received up, He set His face to go to Jerusalem,

52 And sent messengers before Him. And they went and entered into a town of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.

53 But they would not receive Him, because His face was set toward Jerusalem.

54 And when His disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command that fire come down from Heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”

55 But Jesus turned around and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know of what spirit you are.

56 “For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” Then they went to another town.

57 And it happened that as they went on the way, a certain man said to Him, “I will follow You, Lord, wherever You go!”

58 And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven nests. But the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

59 But He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

60 And Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their dead. But go and preach the Kingdom of God.”

61 Then another said, “I will follow You, Lord. But first let me go and bid farewell to those who are at my house.

62 And Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

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.”
