The Twelve Disciples Sent Out

9 (A)And calling the twelve together, He gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. 2 And He sent them out to (B)preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 And He said to them, “(C)Take nothing for your journey, (D)neither a staff, nor a [a]bag, nor bread, nor money; nor have two [b]tunics apiece. 4 And whatever house you enter, stay there [c]until you leave that city. 5 And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, (E)shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 And departing, they were going [d]throughout the villages, (F)proclaiming the gospel and healing everywhere.

7 (G)Now (H)Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that (I)John had risen from the dead, 8 and by some that (J)Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen again. 9 And Herod said, “I myself had John beheaded, but who is this man about whom I hear such things?” And (K)he kept trying to see Him.

10 (L)And when the apostles returned, they recounted to Him all that they had done. (M)Taking them with Him, He slipped away by Himself to a city called (N)Bethsaida. 11 But when the crowds became aware of this, they followed Him; and welcoming them, He began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing.

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

12 Now the day [e]was ending, and the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and obtain lodging and find provisions, for here we are in a desolate 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 perhaps we go and buy food for all these people.” 14 (For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, “Have them [f]sit down (O)in groups of about fifty each.” 15 And they did so, and had them all [g]sit down. 16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them. And He broke them and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 And they all ate and were satisfied; and [h]the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve (P)baskets full.

Peter Confesses Jesus Is the Christ

18 (Q)And it happened that while He was (R)praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 And they answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again.” 20 And He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “(S)The [i]Christ of God.” 21 But He [j](T)warned them and directed them not to tell this to anyone, 22 (U)saying, “(V)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 up on the third day.”

Take Up Your Cross

23 And He was saying to them all, “(W)If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24 For (X)whoever wishes to save his [k]life will lose it, but whoever loses his [l]life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. 25 For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and (Y)loses or forfeits himself? 26 (Z)For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 But I say to you truthfully, (AA)there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”

The Transfiguration

28 (AB)Now it happened some eight days after these words, that taking along (AC)Peter and John and James, He (AD)went up on the mountain (AE)to pray. 29 And it happened that while He was (AF)praying, the appearance of His face (AG)became different, and His clothing became white and [m]gleaming. 30 And behold, two men were talking with Him, and they were Moses and Elijah, 31 who, appearing in [n]glory, were speaking of His [o](AH)departure which He was about to fulfill at Jerusalem. 32 Now Peter and his companions (AI)had been overcome with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him. 33 And it happened that as they were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, “(AJ)Master, it is good for us to be here; (AK)let us make three [p]booths: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—(AL)not realizing what he was saying. 34 While he was saying this, a cloud [q]formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 Then (AM)a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “(AN)This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!” 36 And when the voice [r]had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And (AO)they kept silent, and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

Jesus Casts Out a Demon

37 (AP)Now it happened on the next day, that when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him. 38 And behold, a man from the crowd shouted, saying, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my [s]only one, 39 and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams, and it throws him into a convulsion with foaming at the mouth, and only with difficulty does it leave him, mauling him as it leaves. 40 And I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.” 41 And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.” 42 Now while he was still approaching, the demon [t]slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all astonished at the (AQ)majesty of God.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

(AR)But while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples, 44 “Put these words into your ears; (AS)for the Son of Man is going to be [u]delivered into the hands of men.” 45 But (AT)they [v]did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.

Who Is the Greatest?

46 (AU)Now an argument [w]started among them as to which of them might be the greatest. 47 But Jesus, (AV)knowing [x]what they were thinking in their heart, took a child and stood him by His side, 48 and said to them, “(AW)Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; (AX)for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.”

49 (AY)And John answered and said, “(AZ)Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to hinder him because he does not follow along with us.” 50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not hinder him, (BA)for he who is not against you is [y]for you.”

51 Now it happened that when the days for (BB)Him to be taken up were soon to be fulfilled, He set His face (BC)to go to Jerusalem; 52 and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the (BD)Samaritans to [z]make arrangements for Him. 53 But they did not receive Him, (BE)because [aa]He was journeying with His face toward Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples (BF)James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to (BG)command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55 But He turned and rebuked them, [ab][and said, “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of, 56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”] And they went on to another village.

The Cost of Following Jesus

57 (BH)And as they were going along the road, (BI)someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.” 58 And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the [ac]air have [ad]nests, but (BJ)the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 59 And He said to another, “(BK)Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” 60 But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and (BL)proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.” 61 Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord, but (BM)first permit me to say farewell to those at home.” 62 But Jesus said to him, “(BN)No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Лк 9
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия с «Аллахом»

Иса Масих посылает двенадцать учеников на служение(A)

9 Созвав вместе двенадцать учеников, Иса дал им силу и власть изгонять всех демонов и излечивать болезни. 2 Затем Он послал их возвещать Царство Аллаха и исцелять больных, 3 сказав им:

– Ничего не берите с собой в дорогу: ни посоха, ни сумки, ни хлеба, ни денег, ни запасной одежды. 4 В какой бы дом вы ни вошли, оставайтесь там и оттуда отправляйтесь дальше. 5 А если где-то люди вас не примут, то, уходя из того города, отряхните пыль с ваших ног[a], это будет свидетельством против них.

6 Посланные отправились в путь и, переходя из селения в селение, возвещали Радостную Весть и повсюду исцеляли больных.

Смятение правителя Ирода(B)

7 Слухи обо всём этом дошли и до правителя Ирода[b]. Он был в недоумении, потому что одни говорили, что это Яхия воскрес из мёртвых, 8 другие – что явился пророк Ильяс, третьи – что ожил один из древних пророков. 9 Ирод говорил:

– Яхию я обезглавил, а кто же тогда Этот Человек, о Котором мне такое рассказывают?

И он искал возможность увидеть Ису.

Насыщение более пяти тысяч человек(C)

10 Возвратившись, посланники рассказали Исе обо всём, что они сделали. Потом Он взял их с Собой, и они пошли одни к городу, называемому Вифсаида. 11 Однако толпы народа, узнав об этом, пошли за Исой. Он радушно их принял и говорил им о Царстве Аллаха, а также исцелял тех, кто в этом нуждался. 12 День уже клонился к вечеру, и двенадцать учеников подошли к Исе и сказали:

– Отпусти людей, чтобы они пошли в окрестные посёлки и селения и нашли себе ночлег и пищу, ведь мы здесь в пустынном месте.

13 Иса ответил:

– Вы сами дайте им есть.

Ученики удивились:

– Да ведь у нас только пять лепёшек и две рыбы. Разве что нам пойти и купить еды на всех этих людей? – 14 А там одних только мужчин было около пяти тысяч.

Но Иса сказал ученикам:

– Рассадите людей группами, человек по пятьдесят.

15 Ученики так и сделали. Когда все сели, 16 Иса взял пять лепёшек и две рыбы и, подняв глаза к небу, благословил пищу. Затем Он стал разламывать лепёшки и рыбу и давать их Своим ученикам, чтобы те раздавали народу. 17 Все ели и насытились, и собрали ещё двенадцать корзин остатков.

Петир признаёт Ису Масихом(D)

18 Однажды, когда Иса молился в одиночестве и недалеко от Него были Его ученики, Он спросил их:

– За кого принимает Меня народ?

19 Они ответили:

– За пророка Яхию; другие же говорят, что Ты пророк Ильяс, а третьи – что один из других древних пророков ожил.

20 – А вы кем считаете Меня? – спросил их Иса.

– Обещанным Масихом[c] Аллаха, – ответил Петир.

Иса Масих впервые говорит о Своей смерти и воскресении(E)

21 Но Иса строго велел им никому не говорить об этом,[d] 22 сказав:

– Ниспосланному как Человек предстоит много пострадать и быть отвергнутым старейшинами, главными священнослужителями и учителями Таурата. Он будет убит, но на третий день воскреснет.

Цена следования за Исой Масихом(F)

23 Потом Иса сказал им:

– Если кто желает быть Моим последователем, пусть отречётся от самого себя, уподобится человеку, который несёт крест на место своего распятия, и пусть следует за Мной. 24 Потому что тот, кто хочет сберечь свою жизнь, потеряет её, а кто потеряет свою жизнь ради Меня, тот спасёт её. 25 Ведь что пользы человеку, если он приобретёт весь мир, но при этом погубит самого себя или повредит себе? 26 Кто постыдится Меня и Моих слов, того постыдится и Ниспосланный как Человек, когда придёт в Своей славе и в славе Отца и святых ангелов. 27 Говорю вам истину, некоторые из вас, стоящих здесь, не умрут, пока не увидят проявления Царства Аллаха.[e]

Преображение Исы Масиха(G)

28 Примерно восемь дней спустя после этих слов Иса, взяв с собой Петира, Иохана и Якуба, поднялся на гору помолиться. 29 Во время молитвы Его облик вдруг изменился, а одежда стала ослепительно белой. 30 И вот появились два человека, которые стали разговаривать с Исой, – это были пророки Муса и Ильяс. 31 Явившись в окружении яркого сияния, они говорили с Исой о Его исходе, который Он должен будет совершить в Иерусалиме. 32 А Петира и тех, кто был вместе с ним, одолел сон, но когда они очнулись, то увидели славу Исы и двух мужчин, стоявших рядом с Ним. 33 Когда мужчины уже уходили, Петир сказал Исе:

– Наставник, нам здесь так хорошо! Давай мы сделаем три шалаша: один Тебе, один Мусе и один Ильясу, – он и сам не знал, что говорит. 34 Когда он ещё говорил, показалось облако и накрыло их. Оказавшись в облаке, они очень испугались. 35 И из облака прозвучал голос:

– Это Мой Сын (Масих), Мой избранный. Слушайте Его![f]

36 Когда голос умолк, они увидели Ису уже одного. Они молчали об этом и в то время никому не рассказывали о том, что видели.

Исцеление мальчика, одержимого нечистым духом(H)

37 На следующий день, когда они спустились с горы, Ису встретила большая толпа. 38 И один человек из толпы закричал:

– Учитель, умоляю Тебя, посмотри на моего сына! Он у меня один. 39 Иногда его схватывает дух, и тогда мальчик внезапно начинает кричать, его сводит судорогой, так что у него изо рта идёт пена. Дух терзает его до полного изнеможения и лишь тогда нехотя отступает. 40 Я просил Твоих учеников изгнать его, но они не смогли.

41 – О неверующее и испорченное поколение, – сказал в ответ Иса, – сколько Мне ещё быть с вами и терпеть вас? Приведи сына сюда.

42 Когда мальчик ещё шёл, дух бросил его на землю в припадке. Но Иса приказал нечистому духу выйти и исцелил мальчика, а затем отдал его отцу. 43 Все были поражены величием Аллаха.

Иса Масих вновь говорит о Своей смерти(I)

В то время как все удивлялись тому, что совершил Иса, Он сказал Своим ученикам:

44 – Слушайте внимательно, что Я вам сейчас скажу: Ниспосланный как Человек будет предан в руки людей.

45 Но они не поняли, что Он имел в виду, от них это было сокрыто, так что они не поняли смысла сказанного, а спросить, что означают Его слова, боялись.

Кто важнее?(J)

46 Среди учеников как-то начался спор о том, кто из них важнее. 47 Иса, зная их мысли, взял маленького ребёнка и поставил его рядом с Собой.

48 – Кто ради Меня принимает такого ребёнка, – сказал Иса, – тот принимает и Меня, а кто принимает Меня, тот принимает и пославшего Меня. Кто среди вас меньше всех, тот и велик.

Кто не против вас, тот за вас(K)

49 – Наставник, – сказал Иохан, – мы видели человека, который Твоим именем изгонял демонов, и мы запрещали ему, потому что он не следует за Тобой вместе с нами.

50 – Не запрещайте, – сказал ему Иса. – Кто не против вас, тот за вас.

Отвержение Исы Масиха самарянами

51 Когда Исе подошло время быть взятым на небо, Он направился в Иерусалим. 52 Вперёд Себя Он послал вестников, и те пошли в одно из самарянских селений, чтобы приготовить всё к Его приходу. 53 Но жители селения не приняли Его, потому что Он шёл в Иерусалим.[g] 54 Увидев это, Его ученики Якуб и Иохан сказали:

– Повелитель, хочешь, мы прикажем огню сойти с неба и всех их истребить?[h]

55 Но Иса, обернувшись, запретил им. 56 И они пошли в другое селение.

Следование за Исой Масихом(L)

57 Когда они шли по дороге, один человек сказал Исе:

– Я пойду за Тобой, куда бы Ты ни пошёл.

58 Иса ответил:

– У лисиц есть норы, и у птиц небесных – гнёзда, а Ниспосланному как Человек негде и голову приклонить.

59 Другому человеку Иса сказал:

– Следуй за Мной.

Но тот ответил:

– Повелитель, разреши мне остаться со своим отцом, чтобы, когда он умрёт, я смог похоронить его.

60 – Пусть духовно мёртвые сами хоронят своих мертвецов, а ты иди и провозглашай Царство Аллаха, – сказал ему Иса.

61 Ещё один человек сказал Ему:

– Я пойду за Тобой, Повелитель, но позволь мне прежде пойти и попрощаться с моей семьёй.

62 Иса ответил:

– Ни один человек, положивший руку на плуг и оглядывающийся назад, не пригоден для Царства Аллаха.

  4. 9:21 Иудеи ошибочно полагали, что Масих должен будет освободить их от иноземного ига, и поэтому хотели провозгласить Ису царём, который возглавит антиримское движение (см. Ин. 6:15; Деян. 1:6). Но целью Исы Масиха было спасение души, освобождение человечества от рабства греха (см. Рим. 6:17-23; 8:2).
  5. 9:27 Многие толкователи считают, что объяснением этих слов Исы служат следующие девять стихов (см. также Ин. 1:14; 2 Пет. 1:16).

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.”

Luke 9
New International Version

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)

9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons(C) and to cure diseases,(D) 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God(E) and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.(F) 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”(G) 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.

7 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) 8 others that Elijah had appeared,(K) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(L) 9 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.”
