Luke 9
New American Standard Bible
Ministry of the Twelve
9 (A)Now He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons, and the power to heal diseases. 2 And He sent them out to (B)proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing. 3 And He said to them, “(C)Take nothing for your journey, (D)neither a staff, nor a [a]bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two [b]tunics. 4 And whatever house you enter, stay there [c]until you leave that city. 5 And as for all who do not receive you, when you leave that city, (E)shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 And as they were leaving, they began going [d]throughout the villages, (F)preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
7 (G)Now (H)Herod the tetrarch heard about 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. 9 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)When the apostles returned, they gave an account to Him of all that they had done. (M)And taking them with Him, He withdrew privately to a city called (N)Bethsaida. 11 But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him; and He welcomed them and began speaking to them about the kingdom of God, and curing those who had need of healing.
Five Thousand Men Fed
12 Now the day [e]was ending, and the twelve came up and said to Him, “Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get [f]something to eat; because here, we are in a secluded place.” 13 But He said to them, “You give them something to eat!” But 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.) But He said to His disciples, “Have them recline to eat (O)in groups of about fifty each.” 15 They did so, and had them all recline. 16 And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and, looking up to heaven, He blessed them and broke them, and gave them to the disciples again and again, to serve the crowd. 17 And they all ate and were satisfied; and [g]the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve (P)baskets full.
Peter Says 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 [h]people say that I am?” 19 They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” 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 instructed 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 on the third day.”
23 And He was saying to them all, “(W)If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For (X)whoever wants to save his [k]life will lose it, but whoever loses his [l]life for My sake, this is the one who will save it. 25 For what good does it do a person if he gains the whole world, but (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 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)About eight days after these sayings, He took along (AC)Peter, John, and James, and (AD)went up on the mountain (AE)to pray. 29 And 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 (AH)departure, which He was about to accomplish 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 who were standing with Him. 33 And as [o]these two men were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, “(AJ)Master, it is good that we are here; and (AK)let’s make three [p]tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—(AL)not realizing what he was saying. 34 But while he was saying this, a cloud [q]formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 And then (AM)a voice came from 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.
37 (AP)On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him. 38 And a man from the crowd shouted, saying, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, because he is my only son, 39 and 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 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 amazed at the [s](AQ)greatness of God.
(AR)But while everyone was astonished at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples, 44 “As for you, let these words sink into your ears: (AS)for the Son of Man is going to be [t]handed over to men.” 45 But (AT)they [u]did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not comprehend it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.
The Test of Greatness
46 (AU)Now an argument [v]started among them as to which of them might be the greatest. 47 But Jesus, (AV)knowing [w]what they were thinking in their hearts, took a child and had him stand by His side, 48 and He 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)John answered and said, “(AZ)Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name; and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow along with us.” 50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not hinder him; (BA)for the one who is not against you is [x]for you.”
51 When the days were approaching for (BB)His [y]ascension, He [z]was determined (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 [aa]make arrangements for Him. 53 And they did not receive Him, (BE)because [ab]He was traveling toward Jerusalem. 54 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.[ac] 56 And they went on to another village.
Exacting Discipleship
57 (BH)As they were going on 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 sky have 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 goodbye to those at my 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.”

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.”

Schlachter 1951
Aussendung der zwölf Apostel
9 Er rief aber die Zwölf zusammen und gab ihnen Kraft und Vollmacht über alle Dämonen und um Krankheiten zu heilen; 2 und er sandte sie aus, das Reich Gottes zu predigen, und zu heilen. 3 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Nehmet nichts auf den Weg, weder Stab noch Tasche, noch Brot noch Geld; auch soll einer nicht zwei Anzüge haben. 4 Und wo ihr in ein Haus eintretet, da bleibet, und von da ziehet weiter. 5 Und wo man euch nicht aufnehmen wird, da gehet fort aus jener Stadt und schüttelt auch den Staub von euren Füßen, zum Zeugnis wider sie. 6 Und sie gingen aus und durchzogen die Dörfer, predigten das Evangelium und heilten allenthalben.
Herodes in Verlegenheit
7 Es hörte aber der Vierfürst Herodes alles, was geschah; und er geriet in Verlegenheit, weil von etlichen gesagt wurde, Johannes sei von den Toten auferstanden, 8 von etlichen aber, Elia sei erschienen, und von andern, einer der alten Propheten sei auferstanden. 9 Herodes aber sprach: Johannes habe ich enthauptet; wer ist aber der, von welchem ich solches höre? Und er verlangte, ihn zu sehen.
Speisung der Fünftausend
10 Und die Apostel kehrten zurück und erzählten ihm alles, was sie getan hatten. Und er nahm sie zu sich und zog sich zurück an einen einsamen Ort bei der Stadt, die Bethsaida heißt. 11 Als aber das Volk es erfuhr, folgten sie ihm nach; und er nahm sie auf und redete zu ihnen vom Reiche Gottes, und die der Heilung bedurften, machte er gesund.
12 Aber der Tag fing an, sich zu neigen; und die Zwölf traten herzu und sprachen zu ihm: Entlaß das Volk, damit sie in die umliegenden Dörfer und Höfe gehen und einkehren und Speise finden; denn hier sind wir an einem öden Ort.
13 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Gebt ihr ihnen zu essen! Sie sprachen: Wir haben nicht mehr als fünf Brote und zwei Fische; oder sollen wir hingehen und für dieses ganze Volk Speise kaufen?
14 Denn es waren etwa fünftausend Männer.
Er sprach aber zu seinen Jüngern: Machet, daß sie sich gruppenweise setzen, je fünfzig und fünfzig. 15 Und sie taten so und ließen alle sich setzen. 16 Und er nahm die fünf Brote und die zwei Fische, blickte zum Himmel auf und segnete sie, brach und gab sie den Jüngern, damit sie sie dem Volke vorlegten. 17 Und sie aßen und wurden alle satt; und es wurde aufgehoben, was ihnen von den Stücken übrigblieb, zwölf Körbe [voll].
Das Bekenntnis des Petrus
18 Und es begab sich, als er in der Einsamkeit betete und die Jünger bei ihm waren, fragte er sie und sprach: Für wen halten mich die Leute? 19 Sie antworteten und sprachen: Für Johannes den Täufer; andere für Elia; andere aber [sagen], einer der alten Propheten sei auferstanden. 20 Da sprach er zu ihnen: Ihr aber, für wen haltet ihr mich?
Da antwortete Petrus und sprach: Für den Gesalbten Gottes! 21 Er aber gebot ihnen ernstlich, solches niemand zu sagen, 22 indem er sprach: Des Menschen Sohn muß viel leiden und verworfen werden von den Ältesten und Hohenpriestern und Schriftgelehrten und getötet werden und am dritten Tage auferstehen.
Der Preis der Nachfolge
23 Er sprach aber zu allen: Will jemand mir nachkommen, so verleugne er sich selbst und nehme sein Kreuz auf sich täglich und folge mir nach. 24 Denn wer seine Seele[a] retten will, der wird sie verlieren; wer aber seine Seele verliert um meinetwillen, der wird sie retten. 25 Denn was nützt es dem Menschen, wenn er die ganze Welt gewinnt, aber sich selbst verliert oder schädigt? 26 Denn wer sich meiner und meiner Worte schämt, dessen wird sich auch des Menschen Sohn schämen, wenn er kommen wird in seiner und des Vaters und der heiligen Engel Herrlichkeit. 27 Ich sage euch aber in Wahrheit, es sind etliche unter denen, die hier stehen, welche den Tod nicht schmecken werden, bis sie das Reich Gottes sehen.
Die Verklärung Jesu
28 Es begab sich aber ungefähr acht Tage nach dieser Rede, daß er Petrus und Johannes und Jakobus zu sich nahm und auf den Berg stieg, um zu beten. 29 Und während er betete, wurde das Aussehen seines Angesichts anders und sein Kleid strahlend weiß. 30 Und siehe, zwei Männer redeten mit ihm, das waren Mose und Elia; 31 die erschienen in Herrlichkeit und redeten von seinem Ausgang, den er in Jerusalem erfüllen sollte. 32 Petrus aber und seine Gefährten waren vom Schlaf übermannt. Als sie aber erwachten, sahen sie seine Herrlichkeit und die zwei Männer, die bei ihm standen. 33 Und es begab sich, als diese von ihm schieden, sprach Petrus zu Jesus: Meister, es ist gut, daß wir hier sind; und wir wollen drei Hütten machen, dir eine, Mose eine und Elia eine. Und er wußte nicht, was er sagte.
34 Während er aber solches redete, kam eine Wolke und überschattete sie. Sie fürchteten sich aber, als sie in die Wolke hineinkamen. 35 Und eine Stimme erscholl aus der Wolke, die sprach: Dies ist mein lieber Sohn; auf den sollt ihr hören! 36 Und während die Stimme erscholl, fand es sich, daß Jesus allein war. Und sie schwiegen und sagten in jenen Tagen niemand etwas von dem, was sie gesehen hatten.
Heilung eines Besessenen. Erneute Ankündigung von Jesu Leiden
37 Es begab sich aber am folgenden Tage, als sie den Berg hinunterstiegen, kam ihm viel Volk entgegen. 38 Und siehe, ein Mann aus dem Volke rief und sprach: Meister, ich bitte dich, sieh doch meinen Sohn an, denn er ist mein einziger! 39 Und siehe, ein Geist ergreift ihn, und plötzlich schreit er, und er reißt ihn hin und her, daß er schäumt, und will kaum von ihm weichen, ohne ihn gänzlich aufzureiben. 40 Und ich habe deine Jünger gebeten, daß sie ihn austreiben möchten, aber sie vermochten es nicht.
41 Da antwortete Jesus und sprach: O du ungläubiges und verkehrtes Geschlecht! Wie lange soll ich bei euch sein und euch ertragen? Bringe deinen Sohn hierher! 42 Und noch während er hinzuging, riß und zerrte ihn der Dämon. Aber Jesus bedrohte den unreinen Geist und machte den Knaben gesund und gab ihn seinem Vater wieder.
43 Es erstaunten aber alle über die große Macht Gottes.
Da sich nun alle verwunderten über alles, was er tat, sprach er zu seinen Jüngern:
44 Fasset ihr diese Worte zu Ohren: Des Menschen Sohn wird in der Menschen Hände überliefert werden. 45 Sie aber verstanden das Wort nicht, und es war vor ihnen verborgen, so daß sie es nicht begriffen; und sie fürchteten sich, ihn wegen dieses Wortes zu fragen.
Wer ist der Größte?
46 Es schlich sich aber der Gedanke bei ihnen ein, wer wohl der Größte unter ihnen sei. 47 Da nun Jesus ihres Herzens Gedanken merkte, nahm er ein Kind, stellte es neben sich und sprach zu ihnen: 48 Wer dieses Kind aufnimmt in meinem Namen[b], der nimmt mich auf; und wer mich aufnimmt, der nimmt den auf, der mich gesandt hat. Denn wer der Kleinste ist unter euch allen, der ist groß!
49 Johannes aber antwortete und sprach: Meister, wir sahen jemand, der in deinem Namen Dämonen austrieb, und wir wehrten es ihm, weil er dir nicht mit uns nachfolgt. 50 Jesus aber sprach: Wehret ihm nicht! Denn wer nicht wider uns ist, der ist für uns.
Jesus in Samarien - Widerstände
51 Es begab sich aber, als sich die Tage seines Heimgangs[c] erfüllten und er sein Angesicht nach Jerusalem richtete, um dorthin zu reisen, 52 sandte er Boten vor sich her. Diese kamen auf ihrer Reise in ein Samariterdorf und wollten ihm die Herberge bereiten. 53 Aber man nahm ihn nicht auf, weil Jerusalem[d] sein Reiseziel war. 54 Als aber das seine Jünger Jakobus und Johannes sahen, sprachen sie: Herr, willst du, so wollen wir sagen, daß Feuer vom Himmel herabfalle und sie verzehre, wie auch Elia getan hat! 55 Er aber wandte sich und bedrohte sie und sprach: Wisset ihr nicht, welches Geistes [Kinder] ihr seid? 56 Denn des Menschen Sohn ist nicht gekommen, der Menschen Seelen zu verderben, sondern zu erretten. Und sie zogen in ein anderes Dorf.
Bedingungen der Nachfolge Jesu
57 Als sie aber ihre Reise fortsetzten, sprach einer auf dem Wege zu ihm: Herr, ich will dir nachfolgen, wohin du auch gehst!
58 Und Jesus sprach zu ihm: Die Füchse haben Gruben, und die Vögel des Himmels haben Nester; aber des Menschen Sohn hat nicht, wo er sein Haupt hinlegen kann.
59 Er sagte aber zu einem andern: Folge mir nach! Der sprach: Herr, erlaube mir, zuvor hinzugehen und meinen Vater zu begraben. 60 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Laß die Toten ihre Toten begraben; du aber gehe hin und verkündige das Reich Gottes!
61 Es sprach aber auch ein anderer: Herr, ich will dir nachfolgen, zuvor aber erlaube mir, von denen, die in meinem Hause sind, Abschied zu nehmen. 62 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Wer[e] seine Hand an den Pflug legt und zurückblickt, ist nicht geschickt zum Reiche Gottes!
