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.
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.”

En Levende Bok
Jesus sender ut sine tolv disipler
9 En dag kalte Jesus sammen sine tolv disipler og ga dem makt til å drive ut alle slags onde ånder og kraft til å helbrede sykdommer. 2 Etterpå sendte han dem ut for å fortelle at Gud vil frelse menneskene og gjøre dem til sitt eget folk, og for å helbrede syke.
3 Han sa: ”Ta ikke med dere noe på veien, ingen vandringsstav eller veske, ikke mat eller penger, og ingen ekstra klær. 4 Når dere har blitt tilbudt å overnatte hos noen, stans da til dere vil fortsette til neste by. 5 Dersom innbyggerne i en by ikke vil ta imot dere eller vil høre på dere, gå da bare videre og vær ikke mer bekymret for dem. Rist støvet fra byen av føttene deres som et tegn på at de selv får ta ansvaret for det de har gjort.”
6 Disiplene begynte å gå fra by til by og spredde det glade budskapet og helbredet syke.
Ryktet om Jesus gjør Herodes urolig
7 Da kong Herodes fikk høre snakk om alle miraklene som Jesus gjorde, ble han urolig og visste ikke hva han skulle tro. Noen sa at det var døperen Johannes som hadde stått opp fra de døde. 8 Noen mente at det var Elia[a] som viste seg. Andre igjen sa at en eller annen av profetene, som før i tiden bar fram Guds budskap[b], hadde stått opp igjen.
9 Herodes sa: ”Jeg tillot å halshugge Johannes. Tenk om denne mannen som jeg hører så mye om viser seg å være Johannes?” Og han forsøkte å få møte Jesus.
Jesus gir mat til mer enn 5 000 personer
10 De tolv disiplene som Jesus hadde sendt ut, kom nå tilbake fra reisen sin og rapporterte om alt de hadde gjort. Jesus, sammen med de andre, trakk seg bort til byen Betsaida. 11 Folket fikk greie på hvor han gikk og fulgte etter. På nytt tok han imot folket og talte til dem om at Gud vil frelse menneskene og gjøre dem til sitt eget folk.[c] Han helbredet alle som trengte hjelp.
12 Da det begynte å bli kveld, kom de tolv disiplene og sa: ”Send folket av sted, slik at de kan gå til byene og gårdene her i nærheten, kjøpe seg mat og ordne et eller annet sted å sove. På dette øde stedet finnes det ingen mulighet.”
13 Jesus svarte: ”Dere kan selv gi dem mat!”
”Hvordan skal det gå til?” undret de. ”Alt vi har, er fem brød og to fisker. Mener du virkelig at vi skal gå og kjøpe mat nok så det rekker til alle disse folkene?” 14 Det var omkring 5 000 menn, og i tillegg kom kvinner og barn. ”Bare be dem om å slå seg ned i grupper på 50 personer”, svarte Jesus. 15 Disiplene gjorde som han sa og lot alle sette seg.
16 Så tok Jesus de fem brødene og de to fiskene, så opp mot himmelen og takket Gud for maten. Etterpå brøt han brødene og fiskene i biter og ga til disiplene for at de skulle gi videre til folket. 17 Alle spiste og ble mette. Da de til slutt samlet opp det som var til overs, ble det tolv fulle kurver.
Peter kaller Jesus for Messias, den lovede kongen
18 En gang da Jesus hadde trukket seg tilbake for å be, og disiplene var med han, spurte han: ”Hvem sier folket at jeg er?”
19 ”Noen sier at du er døperen Johannes”, svarte de, ”og noen at du er Elia[d]. Andre sier at du er en eller annen av profetene, de som før i tiden bar fram Guds budskap[e] og som nå har stått opp fra de døde.”
20 Da spurte han: ”Hvem tror dere at jeg er?”
Peter svarte: ”Du er Messias, den kongen som Gud har lovet å sende.”
Jesus forutsier for første gangen at han skal dø
21 Jesus ga da streng befaling om at de ikke skulle snakke med noen om dette. 22 Han forklarte: ”Jeg, Menneskesønnen[f], må lide mye. Folkets ledere, øversteprestene og de skriftlærde[g] kommer til å ta avstand fra meg og passe på at jeg blir drept, men på den tredje[h] dagen skal jeg stå opp fra de døde.”
23 Så sa han til folket: ”Om noen vil bli disiplene mine, kan han ikke lenger tenke på seg selv, men han må følge mitt eksempel og alltid være beredt til å dø. 24 Ja, den som klamrer seg fast til livet, vil til sist miste det. Den som mister livet sitt for min skyld, han vil redde det. 25 Hva vinner et menneske om det blir gitt hele verden, dersom det samtidig mister det evige livet? 26 Den som skammer seg over meg og over de ordene jeg sier, han skal jeg, Menneskesønnen[i], være skamfull over den dagen jeg vender tilbake i min og min Fars herlighet sammen med englene hans. 27 Tro meg: Noen av dere som står her i dag, kommer ikke til å dø før dere har sett Gud i hans kongelige makt.[j]”
Jesus blir forandret på fjellet
28 Omkring en uke seinere tok Jesus med seg Peter, Jakob og Johannes og gikk opp på et fjell for å be. 29 Mens han ba, forandret ansiktet hans seg, og klærne ble blendende hvite. 30 Så viste det seg to menn som sto og snakket med ham. Det var Moses og Elia.[k] 31 Også de strålte av et himmelsk lys, og snakket om hvordan Jesus i tråd med Guds plan ville dø i Jerusalem.
32 Peter og de to andre hadde vært så trette at de sovnet mens Jesus ba. Nå våknet de og fikk se Jesus stå der omstrålet av lys sammen med de to mennene. 33 Da Moses og Elia gjorde seg klar til å forlate Jesus, sa Peter til Jesus: ”Mester, dette er et fantastisk sted å være på! La oss bygge tre hytter, en til deg og en til Moses og en til Elia!” Han var så forvirret at han ikke helt visste hva han sa.
34 Mens han snakket, ble de innhyllet i en sky som senket seg over dem. De ble helt forskrekket. 35 Så hørte de en stemme fra skyen som sa: ”Dette er min Sønn, min utvalgte[l]. Lytt til ham.” 36 Da stemmen hadde stilnet, sto Jesus alene igjen.
Disiplene holdt det de hadde sett for seg selv. De fortalte det ikke til noen før langt seinere.
Jesus helbreder en gutt som er besatt av en ond Ånd
37 Neste dag, da de kom ned fra fjellet, ble de møtt av en stor folkemasse. 38 En mann ropte til Jesus: ”Mester, hjelp sønnen min, han er mitt eneste barn. 39 Rett som det er blir han angrepet av en ond Ånd. Da skriker han og vrir seg i kramper så fråden står om munnen. Når anfallet endelig er over, har ånden nesten tatt knekken på ham. 40 Jeg ba disiplene dine om å drive ut den onde ånden, men de klarte det ikke!”
41 ”Dere er håpløse mennesker som ikke vil tro!” utbrøt Jesus. ”Hvor lenge må jeg være blant dere og holde ut med dere? Kom hit med sønnen din.” 42 Mens gutten var på vei til Jesus, dyttet den onde ånden ham i bakken og slet og rykket voldsomt i ham. Jesus ga befaling om at ånden skulle forlate gutten. Han helbredet ham og ga ham til faren.
43 Alle som var til stede ble helt overveldet over Guds ubegrensede makt og veldige kraft.
Jesus forutsier for andre gangen at han skal dø
Mens folket fortsatt sto forundret og tenkte på alt han gjorde, sa Jesus til disiplene:
44 ”Lytt nøye, og husk på det jeg nå sier: Jeg, Menneskesønnen[m], skal bli forrådt og overgitt i menneskers hender.” 45 Men disiplene forsto ikke det han snakket om. Den virkelige betydningen av det Jesus forutsa, var skjult for dem, og de våget ikke spørre hva han mente.
Jesus forklarer hvem som er størst
46 Disiplene begynte nå å diskutere med hverandre om hvem av dem som var den største. 47 Jesus forsto hva som rørte seg i tankene deres. Derfor tok han et barn og stilte det ved siden av seg. 48 Han sa: ”Den som tar imot dette barnet fordi det tilhører meg, han tar imot meg! Og den som tar imot meg, han tar imot Gud, etter som Gud har sendt meg. Den som sier at han selv er liten og ubetydelig, han er den største.”
Disiplene forbyr en mann å gjøre mirakler i Jesu navn
49 Johannes, en av disiplene, sa: ”Mester, vi så en mann som drev ut onde ånder i ditt navn, men etter som han ikke var i følge med oss, forsøkte vi å stoppe ham.”
50 Da sa Jesus til Johannes: ”La ham holde på med sitt, for den som ikke er mot dere, han er for dere.”
Motstand i Samaria
51 Tiden hadde nå kommet da Gud bestemte at Jesus skulle vende tilbake til himmelen. Jesus besluttet derfor å begynne på veien mot Jerusalem.
52 En dag sendte han noen disipler i forveien for å ordne med overnatting i en samaritansk[n] by. 53 Men etter som Jesus var på vei mot Jerusalem, ville de ikke ha noe med ham å gjøre.
54 Da begge disiplene, som var Jakob og Johannes, fikk greie på det som hadde skjedd, ble de opprørte og sa: ”Herre, skal vi befale at ild må falle ned fra himmelen og brenne opp byen?”[o] 55 Jesus vendte seg om og irettesatte dem.[p] 56 Så gikk de videre til en annen by.
Prisen for å følge Jesus
57 Mens de gikk langs veien, sa en mann til Jesus: ”Jeg vil følge deg hvor du enn går.”
58 Jesus svarte: ”Du må forstå en ting, revene har hi og fuglene har reir, men jeg, Menneskesønnen[q], har ingen stedet der jeg kan hvile ut.”
59 Til en annen mann de møtte, sa Jesus: ”Kom og bli min disippel!” Men han svarte: ”La meg først få gå hjem og begrave min far.”[r]
60 Da sa Jesus: ”La de som er åndelig døde[s], begrave sine døde. Din oppgave er å spre budskapet om at Gud vil frelse menneskene og gjøre dem til sitt eget folk.[t]”
61 En annen sa: ”Ja, Herre, jeg skal komme, men la meg først få ta avskjed med dem der hjemme.”
62 Da sa Jesus til ham: ”Den som gjør seg klar for å arbeide, men etterpå lar seg lokke bort fra arbeidet av andre, han kan ikke tjene Gud.[u]”
