And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure sicknesses,

2 A nd he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

and he sent them to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal the ailing.

3 A nd he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

And he said unto them, `Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;

4 A nd whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

and into whatever house ye may enter, there remain, and thence depart;

5 A nd 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.

and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.'

6 A nd they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.

7 N ow 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;

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by him, and was perplexed, because it was said by certain, that John hath been raised out of the dead;

8 a nd of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

and by certain, that Elijah did appear, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;

9 A nd Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

and Herod said, `John I did behead, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?' and he was seeking to see him.

10 A nd 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.

And the apostles having turned back, declared to him how great things they did, and having taken them, he withdrew by himself to a desert place of a city called Bethsaida,

11 A nd 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.

and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured.

12 A nd 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.

And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, said to him, `Let away the multitude, that having gone to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desert place.'

13 B ut 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.

And he said unto them, `Give ye them to eat;' and they said, `We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;'

14 F or they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, `Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty;'

15 A nd they did so, and made them all sit down.

and they did so, and made all to recline;

16 T hen 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.

and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude;

17 A nd they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

18 A nd 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?

And it came to pass, as he is praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he questioned them, saying, `Who do the multitudes say me to be?'

19 T hey answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And they answering said, `John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;'

20 H e said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

and he said to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering said, `The Christ of God.'

21 A nd he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

And having charged them, he commanded to say this to no one,

22 s aying, 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.

saying -- `It behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.'

23 A nd 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.

And he said unto all, `If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me;

24 F or whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall save it;

25 F or what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?

26 F or 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.

`For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father's, and the holy messengers';

27 B ut I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign of God.'

28 A nd 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.

And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray,

29 A nd as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white -- sparkling.

30 A nd, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

31 w ho appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem,

32 B ut 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.

but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.

33 A nd 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.

And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, `Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith:

34 W hile he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud,

35 A nd there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

and a voice came out of the cloud saying, `This is My Son -- the Beloved; hear ye him;'

36 A nd 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.

and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have seen.

37 A nd it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.

And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mount, there met him a great multitude,

38 A nd, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

and lo, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, `Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only begotten;

39 A nd, 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.

and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him,

40 A nd I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.'

41 A nd Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;'

42 A nd 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.

and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

43 A nd 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,

And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

44 L et these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

`Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.'

45 B ut 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.

And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

46 T hen there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them?

47 A nd Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself,

48 a nd 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.

and said to them, `Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all -- he shall be great.'

49 A nd John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

And John answering said, `Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;'

50 A nd Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

and Jesus said unto him, `Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'

51 A nd it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem,

52 a nd sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him,

53 A nd they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.

54 A nd 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?

And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?'

55 B ut he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;

56 F or the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.

57 A nd 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.

And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, `I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;'

58 A nd 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.

and Jesus said to him, `The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.'

59 A nd he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

And he said unto another, `Be following me;' and he said, `Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;'

60 J esus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

and Jesus said to him, `Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.'

61 A nd another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

And another also said, `I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;'

62 A nd Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

and Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'
