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 to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these 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;'

26 F or whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, 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';

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.'

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 voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

38 B ehold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my 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 B ehold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

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 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

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

41 J esus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

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 W hile he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back 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 T hey were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to 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 “ Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up 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 didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this 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 here arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

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

47 J esus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

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

48 a nd said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will 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 J ohn answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow 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 J esus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

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

52 a nd sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare 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 T hey didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

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

54 W hen his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah 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, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

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

56 F or the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” 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 s they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

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 J esus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place 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 H e said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow 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 B ut Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

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 nother also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are 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 B ut Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

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