1And summoning the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases,
2and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3And he said to them, "Take along nothing for the journey—neither a staff, nor a traveler’s bag, nor bread, nor money, nor to have two tunics apiece.
4And into whatever house you enter, stay there and depart from there.
5And [as for] all those who do not welcome you—[when you] depart from that town, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6So they departed [and] went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
7Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that John has been raised from the dead,
8and by some that Elijah had appeared, and others that some prophet of ancient times had risen.
9And Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he was wanting to see him.
10And [when they] returned, the apostles described to him all that they had done. And he took them along [and] withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.
11But [when] the crowds found out, they followed him, and welcoming them, he began to speak to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who had need of healing.
12Now the day began to be far spent, and the twelve came up [and] said to him, "Send away the crowd so that they can go into the surrounding villages and farms to obtain lodging and find provisions, because we are here in a desolate place.
13But 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] purchase food for all these people.
14(For there were about five thousand men.) So he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.
15And they did so, and had [them] all sit down.
16And taking the five loaves and the two fish, [and] looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them and began giving [them] to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17And [they] all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up by them—twelve baskets of broken pieces.
18And it happened that while he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, saying, "Who do the crowds say [that] I am?
19And they answered [and] said, "John the Baptist, but others, Elijah, and others, that one of the ancient prophets has risen.
20And he said to them, "But who do you say [that] I am?" And Peter answered [and] said, "The Christ of God.
21But he warned [and] commanded them to tell this to no one,
22saying, "It is necessary [for] 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 to be raised on the third day.
23And he said to [them] all, "If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross every day and follow me.
24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me, this person will save it.
25For what is a person benefited [if he] gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
26For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of this person when he comes in his glory and the [glory] of the Father and of the holy angels.
27But I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God.
28Now it happened that about eight days after these words, he took along Peter and John and James [and] went up on the mountain to pray.
29And as he was praying, the appearance of his face became different, and his clothing [became] white, gleaming like lightning.
30And behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31who appeared in glory [and] were speaking [about] his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.
32Now Peter and those with him were _very sleepy_, but [when they] became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.
33And it happened that as they were going away from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good [for] us to be here. And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah," not knowing what he was saying.
34And [while] he was saying these [things], a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35And a voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, [my] Chosen One. Listen to him!
36And after the voice had occurred, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
37Now it happened that on the next day, [when] they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
38And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, "Teacher, I beg you to look with concern on my son, because he is my only [son]!
39And behold, a spirit seizes him and suddenly he screams, and it convulses him with foam and rarely withdraws from him, battering him severely.
40And I begged your disciples that they would expel it, and they were not able [to do so].
41So Jesus answered [and] said, "O unbelieving and perverted generation! _How long_ will I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here!
42And [while] he was still approaching, the demon threw him down and convulsed [him]. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43And they were all astounded at the impressiveness of God. @ But [while they]< note *Here "[while]" is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle ("marveling")> were all marveling at all [the things] that he was doing, he said to his disciples,
44_You take these words to heart_, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.
45But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they could not understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about this statement.
46And an argument developed among them as to who of them might be greatest.
47But Jesus, [because he] knew the thoughts of their hearts, took hold of a child and had him stand beside him
48and said to them, "Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among you all—this one is great.
49And John answered [and] said, "Master, we saw someone expelling demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow in company with us.
50But Jesus said to him, "Do not prevent [him], because whoever is not against you is for you.
51Now it happened that when the days were approaching _for him to be taken up_, he set [his] face to go to Jerusalem.
52And he sent messengers before _him_, and they went [and] entered into a village of the Samaritans in order to prepare for him.
53And they did not welcome him because _he was determined to go_ to Jerusalem.
54Now [when] the disciples James and John saw [it], they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?
55But he turned around [and] rebuked them,
56and they proceeded to another village.
57And [as] they were traveling on the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go!
58And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky [have] nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay [his] head.
59And he said to another, "Follow me!" But he said, "Lord, first allow me to go [and] bury my father.
60But he said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead! But you go [and] proclaim the kingdom of God.
61And another [person] also said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say farewell to those in my house.
62But Jesus said to him, "No one who puts [his] hand on the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God!
