The Twelve Disciples Sent Out

(A)And calling the twelve together, He gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. And He sent them out to (B)preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 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. And whatever house you enter, stay there [c]until you leave that city. 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.” And departing, they were going [d]throughout the villages, (F)proclaiming the gospel and healing everywhere.

(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, and by some that (J)Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen again. 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.”

A missão dos doze(A)

E, convocando os seus doze discípulos, deu-lhes virtude e poder sobre todos os demônios e para curarem enfermidades; e enviou-os a pregar o Reino de Deus e a curar os enfermos. E disse-lhes: Nada leveis convosco para o caminho, nem bordões, nem alforje, nem pão, nem dinheiro, nem tenhais duas vestes. E, em qualquer casa em que entrardes, ficai ali e de lá saireis. E, se em qualquer cidade vos não receberem, saindo vós dali, sacudi o pó dos vossos pés, em testemunho contra eles. E, saindo eles, percorreram todas as aldeias, anunciando o evangelho e fazendo curas por toda a parte.

Herodes, o tetrarca, e João Batista(B)

E o tetrarca Herodes ouvia tudo o que se passava e estava em dúvida, porque diziam alguns que João ressuscitara dos mortos, e outros, que Elias tinha aparecido, e outros, que um profeta dos antigos havia ressuscitado. E disse Herodes: A João mandei eu degolar; quem é, pois, este de quem ouço dizer tais coisas? E procurava vê-lo.

A primeira multiplicação dos pães e peixes(C)

10 E, regressando os apóstolos, contaram-lhe tudo o que tinham feito. E, tomando-os consigo, retirou-se para um lugar deserto de uma cidade chamada Betsaida. 11 E, sabendo-o a multidão, o seguiu; e ele os recebeu, e falava-lhes do Reino de Deus, e sarava os que necessitavam de cura. 12 E o dia começava a declinar; então, chegando-se a ele os doze, disseram-lhe: Despede a multidão, para que, indo aos campos e aldeias ao redor, se agasalhem e achem o que comer, porque aqui estamos em lugar deserto. 13 Mas ele lhes disse: Dai-lhes vós de comer. E eles disseram: Não temos senão cinco pães e dois peixes, salvo se nós próprios formos comprar comida para todo este povo. 14 Porquanto estavam ali quase cinco mil homens. Disse, então, aos seus discípulos: Fazei-os assentar, em grupos de cinquenta em cinquenta. 15 E assim o fizeram, fazendo-os assentar a todos. 16 E, tomando os cinco pães e os dois peixes e olhando para o céu, abençoou-os, e partiu-os, e deu-os aos seus discípulos para os porem diante da multidão. 17 E comeram todos e saciaram-se; e levantaram, do que lhes sobejou, doze cestos de pedaços.

A confissão de Pedro. Jesus prediz a sua própria morte(D)

18 E aconteceu que, estando ele orando em particular, estavam com ele os discípulos; e perguntou-lhes, dizendo: Quem diz a multidão que eu sou? 19 E, respondendo eles, disseram: João Batista; outros, Elias, e outros, que um dos antigos profetas ressuscitou. 20 E disse-lhes: E vós quem dizeis que eu sou? E, respondendo Pedro, disse: O Cristo de Deus. 21 E, admoestando-os, mandou que a ninguém referissem isso, 22 dizendo: É necessário que o Filho do Homem padeça muitas coisas, e seja rejeitado dos anciãos e dos escribas, e seja morto, e ressuscite ao terceiro dia.

Cada um deve levar a sua cruz(E)

23 E dizia a todos: Se alguém quer vir após mim, negue-se a si mesmo, e tome cada dia a sua cruz, e siga-me. 24 Porque qualquer que quiser salvar a sua vida perdê-la-á; mas qualquer que, por amor de mim, perder a sua vida a salvará. 25 Porque que aproveita ao homem granjear o mundo todo, perdendo-se ou prejudicando-se a si mesmo? 26 Porque qualquer que de mim e das minhas palavras se envergonhar, dele se envergonhará o Filho do Homem, quando vier na sua glória e na do Pai e dos santos anjos. 27 E em verdade vos digo que, dos que aqui estão, alguns há que não provarão a morte até que vejam o Reino de Deus.

A transfiguração(F)

28 E aconteceu que, quase oito dias depois dessas palavras, tomou consigo a Pedro, a João e a Tiago e subiu ao monte a orar. 29 E, estando ele orando, transfigurou-se a aparência do seu rosto, e as suas vestes ficaram brancas e mui resplandecentes. 30 E eis que estavam falando com ele dois varões, que eram Moisés e Elias, 31 os quais apareceram com glória e falavam da sua morte, a qual havia de cumprir-se em Jerusalém. 32 E Pedro e os que estavam com ele estavam carregados de sono; e, quando despertaram, viram a sua glória e aqueles dois varões que estavam com ele. 33 E aconteceu que, quando aqueles se apartaram dele, disse Pedro a Jesus: Mestre, bom é que nós estejamos aqui e façamos três tendas, uma para ti, uma para Moisés e uma para Elias, não sabendo o que dizia. 34 E, dizendo ele isso, veio uma nuvem que os cobriu com a sua sombra; e, entrando eles na nuvem, temeram. 35 E saiu da nuvem uma voz que dizia: Este é o meu Filho amado; a ele ouvi. 36 E, tendo soado aquela voz, Jesus foi achado só; e eles calaram-se e, por aqueles dias, não contaram a ninguém nada do que tinham visto.

A cura de um jovem lunático(G)

37 E aconteceu, no dia seguinte, que, descendo eles do monte, lhes saiu ao encontro uma grande multidão. 38 E eis que um homem da multidão clamou, dizendo, Mestre, peço-te que olhes para meu filho, porque é o único que eu tenho. 39 Eis que um espírito o toma, e de repente clama, e o despedaça até espumar; e só o larga depois de o ter quebrantado. 40 E roguei aos teus discípulos que o expulsassem, e não puderam. 41 E Jesus, respondendo, disse: Ó geração incrédula e perversa! Até quando estarei ainda convosco e vos sofrerei? Traze-me cá o teu filho. 42 E, quando vinha chegando, o demônio o derribou e convulsionou; porém Jesus repreendeu o espírito imundo, e curou o menino, e o entregou a seu pai. 43 E todos pasmavam da majestade de Deus.

E, maravilhando-se todos de todas as coisas que Jesus fazia, disse aos seus discípulos: 44 Ponde vós estas palavras em vossos ouvidos, porque o Filho do Homem será entregue nas mãos dos homens. 45 Mas eles não entendiam essa palavra, que lhes era encoberta, para que a não compreendessem; e temiam interrogá-lo acerca dessa palavra.

O maior no Reino dos céus(H)

46 E suscitou-se entre eles uma discussão sobre qual deles seria o maior. 47 Mas Jesus, vendo o pensamento do coração deles, tomou uma criança, pô-la junto a si 48 e disse-lhes: Qualquer que receber esta criança em meu nome recebe-me a mim; e qualquer que me recebe a mim recebe o que me enviou; porque aquele que entre vós todos for o menor, esse mesmo é grande.

Quem não é contra nós é por nós(I)

49 E, respondendo João, disse: Mestre, vimos um que em teu nome expulsava os demônios, e lho proibimos, porque não te segue conosco. 50 E Jesus lhes disse: Não o proibais, porque quem não é contra nós é por nós.

Os samaritanos não recebem a Jesus

51 E aconteceu que, completando-se os dias para a sua assunção, manifestou o firme propósito de ir a Jerusalém. 52 E mandou mensageiros diante da sua face; e, indo eles, entraram numa aldeia de samaritanos, para lhe prepararem pousada. 53 Mas não o receberam, porque o seu aspecto era como de quem ia a Jerusalém. 54 E os discípulos Tiago e João, vendo isso, disseram: Senhor, queres que digamos que desça fogo do céu e os consuma, como Elias também fez? 55 Voltando-se, porém, repreendeu-os e disse: Vós não sabeis de que espírito sois. 56 Porque o Filho do Homem não veio para destruir as almas dos homens, mas para salvá-las. E foram para outra aldeia.

Acerca dos que seguem a Jesus(J)

57 E aconteceu que, indo eles pelo caminho, lhe disse um: Senhor, seguir-te-ei para onde quer que fores. 58 E disse-lhe Jesus: As raposas têm covis, e as aves do céu, ninhos, mas o Filho do Homem não tem onde reclinar a cabeça. 59 E disse a outro: Segue-me. Mas ele respondeu: Senhor, deixa que primeiro eu vá enterrar meu pai. 60 Mas Jesus lhe observou: Deixa aos mortos o enterrar os seus mortos; porém tu, vai e anuncia o Reino de Deus. 61 Disse também outro: Senhor, eu te seguirei, mas deixa-me despedir primeiro dos que estão em minha casa. 62 E Jesus lhe disse: Ninguém que lança mão do arado e olha para trás é apto para o Reino de Deus.
