Luke 9
New American Standard Bible 1995
Ministry of the Twelve
9 (A)And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and 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 [b]two tunics apiece. 4 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 Departing, they began going [d]throughout the villages, (F)preaching 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 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)Taking them with Him, He withdrew by Himself to a city called (N)Bethsaida. 11 But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him; and welcoming them, He began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing.
Five Thousand Fed
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 find lodging and get [f]something to eat; 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 [g]sit down to eat (O)in groups of about fifty each.” 15 They did so, and had them all [h]sit down. 16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the [i]people. 17 And they all ate and were satisfied; and [j]the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve (P)baskets full.
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 [k]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 again.” 20 And He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “(S)The [l]Christ of God.” 21 But He [m](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 up on the third day.”
23 And He was saying to them all, “(W)If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24 For (X)whoever wishes to save his [n]life will lose it, but whoever loses his [o]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)Some eight days after these sayings, He took along (AC)Peter and 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 [p]gleaming. 30 And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah, 31 who, appearing in [q]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 standing with Him. 33 And as [r]these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, “(AJ)Master, it is good for us to be here; (AK)let us make three [s]tabernacles: 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 [t]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 [u]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, for he is my [v]only boy, 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 I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.” 41 And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.” 42 While he was still approaching, the demon [w]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 [x](AQ)greatness of God.
(AR)But while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples, 44 “Let these words sink into your ears; (AS)for the Son of Man is going to be [y]delivered into the hands of men.” 45 But (AT)they [z]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.
The Test of Greatness
46 (AU)An argument [aa]started among them as to which of them might be the greatest. 47 But Jesus, (AV)knowing [ab]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)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 he who is not against you is [ac]for you.”
51 When the days were approaching for (BB)His [ad]ascension, He [ae]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 [af]make arrangements for Him. 53 But they did not receive Him, (BE)because [ag]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, [[ah]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.
Exacting Discipleship
57 (BH)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 [ai]air have [aj]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 good-bye 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.”

הבשורה על-פי לוקס 9
Habrit Hakhadasha/Haderekh
ט יום אחד קרא אליו ישוע את שנים-עשר תלמידיו, והעניק להם סמכות וכוח לגרש שדים ולרפא מחלות. 2 לאחר מכן שלח אותם לספר לכולם על בוא מלכות האלוהים ולרפא את החולים.
3 "אל תיקחו אתכם דבר," הורה להם ישוע. "אל תיקחו אתכם מקל הליכה, תרמיל, מזון, כסף ואף לא בגדים להחלפה. 4 בכל עיר או כפר התארחו בבית אחד בלבד.
5 אם התושבים לא יקשיבו לדבריכם, צאו מאותה עיר ונערו את העפר מעל רגליכם, כסימן לכך שעשיתם את המוטל עליכם והזהרתם אותם."
6 התלמידים יצאו לדרך, ובעברם מעיר לעיר ומכפר לכפר בישרו את דבר אלוהים וריפאו את החולים.
7 כשהגיעו השמועות על כוחו ונפלאותיו של ישוע לאוזני המושל הורדוס, הוא נמלא מבוכה ודאגה, כי היו אנשים שאמרו: "זהו יוחנן המטביל שקם לתחייה!" 8 או: "האיש הזה הוא אליהו הנביא!" היו שאמרו: "זהו אחד הנביאים שקם לתחייה!."
9 "יוחנן?" תמה הורדוס. "הרי כרתי את ראשו, אז מיהו האיש שעליו אני שומע ניסים ונפלאות?" והורדוס חיפש דרך לפגוש את ישוע.
10 לאחר שחזרו השליחים ודיווחו לישוע על כל מעשיהם, הוא עזב את הקהל איתם והם הלכו יחד לבית-צידה כדי להיות לבדם. 11 אבל ההמונים גילו לאן ישוע הלך והלכו בעקבותיו. ישוע קיבל אותם בחמימות ולימד אותם על מלכות האלוהים. הוא גם ריפא את החולים שביניהם.
12 לפנות ערב ניגשו שנים-עשר התלמידים אל ישוע והאיצו בו לשלוח את הקהל אל הכפרים והמשקים שבסביבה כדי לקנות אוכל ולחפש מקום לינה, כי האזור שבו היו היה שומם לגמרי. 13 "אתם תאכילו אותם!" אמר ישוע לתלמידיו.
"במה?" שאלו התלמידים בתימהון. "יש לנו רק חמש ככרות לחם ושני דגים. האם אתה רוצה שנלך לקנות אוכל לכל ההמון הזה?" 14 כחמשת-אלפים איש היו שם (לא כולל נשים וילדים).
"אמרו להם לשבת בשורות של חמישים איש," הורה ישוע לתלמידיו. 15 התלמידים עשו כדבריו והושיבו את הקהל.
16 ישוע לקח את חמש ככרות הלחם ואת שני הדגים, הביט לשמים וברך על המזון. לאחר מכן פרס את הלחם, חתך את הדגים והגיש לתלמידיו שיחלקו לעם. 17 כולם אכלו עד ששבעו, וכאשר אספו את הפירורים שנשארו מילאו שנים-עשר סלים.
18 יום אחד כשהתפלל ישוע לבדו ורק תלמידיו היו בחברתו, הוא שאל אותם: "למי חושבים אותי האנשים?"
19 "ליוחנן המטביל," השיבו התלמידים. "אבל יש החושבים שאתה אליהו הנביא, ואחרים חושבים שאתה אחד מאבותינו הנביאים שקם לתחייה."
20 "למי אתם חושבים אותי?" המשיך ישוע לשאול.
"אתה משיח אלוהים!" ענה פטרוס.
21 ישוע ציווה עליהם לא לספר זאת לאיש. 22 "על בן-האדם לסבול הרבה," הוסיף ישוע. "זקני היהודים, ראשי הכוהנים והסופרים ידחו אותו ואף יהרגו אותו, אולם כעבור שלושה ימים יקום לתחייה!"
23 לאחר מכן אמר ישוע לכולם: "מי שרוצה ללכת בעקבותיי חייב להתכחש לעצמו, לוותר על נוחיותו ושאיפותיו, לשאת עמו את צלבו יום-יום ולבוא אחרי. 24 כי המאבד את חייו למעני – יציל אותם, בעוד שהמתעקש לשמור על חייו – יאבד אותם. 25 מה הרוויח אדם שהשיג את העולם כולו אבל איבד את נפשו?
26 "כאשר בן-האדם ישוב בכבוד האלוהים והמלאכים הקדושים, ומי שאני ודברי היו לו לבושה, הוא יהיה לבושה לבן האדם. 27 אני אומר לכם את האמת: בין העומדים פה עתה יש כאלה שלא ימותו לפני שיראו את מלכות האלוהים!"
28 כעבור שמונה ימים לקח איתו ישוע את פטרוס, יוחנן ויעקב ועלה על אחד ההרים כדי להתפלל. 29 בזמן שישוע התפלל, פניו השתנו ובגדיו הלבינו והבריקו. 30 לפתע הופיעו משה רבנו ואליהו הנביא ודיברו איתו. 31 הופעתם הייתה מרשימה ומהודרת, והם דיברו עם ישוע על מותו הקרוב בירושלים, שהיה צפוי לפי דבר ה'.
32 בינתיים שקעו פטרוס והאחרים בשינה עמוקה, וכשהתעוררו ראו את כבודו והדרו של ישוע ואת השנים שעמדו לידו. 33 כשעמדו אליהו ומשה ללכת קרא פטרוס בבלבול, בלי לדעת מה הוא אומר: "רבי, כמה נפלא! מדוע לא נקים כאן שלוש סוכות – לך, למשה ולאליהו?"
34 בעודו מדבר כיסה אותם ענן והם נמלאו פחד. 35 ומן הענן קרא קול: "זהו בני האהוב, שמעו בקולו."
36 לאחר הקול נראה ישוע עומד לבדו. התלמידים לא סיפרו לאיש את אשר ראו אלא חיכו. 37 כשירדו מן ההר למחרת, באו אנשים רבים לקראת ישוע, 38 ואחד מהם קרא: "רבי, אני מתחנן לפניך שתביט בבני היחיד. 39 שד נכנס בו, ובכל פעם שהוא אוחז בבני הוא גורם לו לצרוח ללא סיבה, משליך אותו על הרצפה ומתיש את כוחו עד שריר נוזל מפיו. השד הזה מדכא את בני מאוד וכמעט שאינו עוזב אותו לנפשו. 40 התחננתי לפני תלמידיך שיגרשו את השד, אבל הם לא יכלו לעשות זאת."
41 "איזה דור עקשן וחסר-אמונה!" קרא ישוע. "עד מתי אצטרך לסבול אתכם? הביאו את הילד!"
42 לפני שהספיק הילד להגיע אל ישוע, השד הפיל אותו ארצה כאשר הוא מזדעזע. אולם ישוע גירש ממנו את השד בגערה, ריפא אותו והשיבו לאביו.
43 כשראו הנוכחים את הגילוי הזה של כוח אלוהים, נפלה עליהם יראה גדולה.
בעוד הקהל מתפעל ומחליף רשמים על מעשיו הנפלאים, אמר ישוע לתלמידיו: 44 "הקשיבו לדברי בתשומת לב: בן-האדם עומד להימסר לידי אנשים." 45 אולם התלמידים לא הבינו למה התכוון; דבר-מה מנע מבעדם מלהבין והם חששו לשאול אותו למה התכוון.
46 בין התלמידים התעורר ויכוח: מיהו החשוב והגדול ביניהם. 47 ישוע ידע את מחשבותיהם ולכן קרא לילד קטן, העמידו לידו 48 ואמר לתלמידיו: "מי שמקבל בברכה ילד קטן כזה, כאילו מקבל בברכה אותי; ומי שמקבל בברכה אותי, מקבל למעשה בברכה את אבי אשר שלח אותי. הקטן מביניכם – הצנוע והעניו ביותר – הוא הגדול ביניכם!"
49 יוחנן תלמידו פנה אליו ואמר: "רבי, ראינו איש שמגרש שדים בשמך ואמרנו לו לחדול מכך, כי אין הוא שייך לקבוצתנו."
50 "לא הייתם צריכים לומר לו זאת," השיב לו ישוע. "כי מי שאינו נגדנו הוא בעדנו."
51 בהתקרב המועד שבו יילקח לשמים, התכונן ישוע ללכת לירושלים. 52 יום אחד הוא שלח לפניו שליחים, כדי שיכינו לו מקום לינה באחד מכפרי השומרונים. 53 אולם השומרונים סרבו לתת להם מקום לינה, משום שפניהם של ישוע ותלמידיו היו מועדות לירושלים (לשומרונים היה ויכוח עם היהודים בנוגע לירושלים).
54 כשהגיע הדבר לאוזני ישוע ותלמידיו, שאלו יעקב ויוחנן: "אתה רוצה שנצווה כי תרד אש מהשמים ותשרוף אותם?" 55 אולם ישוע גער בהם, 56 והחבורה המשיכה בדרכה אל כפר אחר.
57 בדרך אמר מישהו לישוע: "אדוני, לאן שתלך, אני אלך אחריך!" 58 אולם ישוע השיב לו: "אל תשכח שאין לי מקום להניח את ראשי. השועלים מתגוררים במחילות האדמה ולציפורים יש קנים, אולם לבן-האדם אין מקום להניח בו את ראשו." 59 בהזדמנות אחרת אמר ישוע לאיש מסוים: 'בוא אחרי והיה תלמיד שלי." האיש הסכים, אולם ביקש לקבור תחילה את אביו.
60 "הנח למתים (מבחינה רוחנית) לקבור את המתים שלהם," אמר לו ישוע. "ואילו אתה לך להכריז על מלכות האלוהים."
61 איש אחר אמר לישוע: "אני אלך אחריך, אדוני, אך הרשה לי תחילה ללכת הביתה ולהיפרד מבני משפחתי."
62 אבל ישוע השיב לו: "השם את ידו על המחרשה ומביט אחריו לא יהיה כשיר למלכות האלוהים."
Luke 9
BRG Bible
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.
