Luke 9:17-55

¹⁷And all men ate, and were full-filled or and were filled; and that that (was) left to them of broken meats was taken up, twelve coffins. (And everyone ate, and were filled; and the pieces of food which were left by them were gathered up, yea, twelve baskets full.)

¹⁸And it was done, when he was alone praying, his disciples were with him, and he asked them, and said, Whom say the people that I am?

¹⁹And they answered, and said, John (the) Baptist, others say Elias, and others say or but others say, one prophet of the former is risen. (And they answered, and said, John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others say, one of the former prophets, or one of the first prophets, is risen.)

²⁰And he said to them, But whom say ye that I am? Simon Peter answered, and said, The Christ of God, (or Simon Peter answered, and said, God’s Messiah).

²¹And he blaming them (or And he rebuking them), commanded them that they should say (that) to no man, +And he blaming them commanded them that they should say to no man these things,

²²and said these things, For it behooveth man’s Son to suffer many things, and to be reproved of the elder men, and of the princes of (the) priests, and of the scribes, (or and to be rejected by the elders, and by the high priests, and by the scribes), and to be slain, and the third day to rise again.

²³And he said to all men, If any man will come after me, deny he himself, and take he his cross every day, and (pur)sue he me (or and follow me).

²⁴For he that will make his life safe shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for me, shall make it safe.

²⁵And what profiteth it to a man, if he win all the world, and lose himself, and do impairing of himself, or and do impairing to himself, (or and do harm to himself).

²⁶For whoso shameth me and my words, man’s Son shall shame him, when he cometh in his majesty, and of the Father’s, and of the holy angels. (For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, man’s Son shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in his majesty, or in his glory, and in the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.)

²⁷And I say to you, verily there be some standing here, which shall not taste death, till they see the realm of God. (Truly I say to you, or I tell you the truth, there be some standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Kingdom of God.)

²⁸And it was done after these words almost eight days, and he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended into an hill, to pray, (or and he went up onto a hill, to pray).

²⁹And while he prayed, the likeness of his face was changed, and his clothing was white shining.

³⁰And lo! two men spake with him, and Moses and Elias (And behold! two men spoke with him, yea, Moses and Elijah)

³¹were seen in (their) majesty; and they said (of) his going out, which he should fulfill in Jerusalem. (were seen in their glory; and they spoke of his death, yea, of his destiny, which he would fulfill in Jerusalem.)

³²And Peter, and they that were with him, were heavy of sleep, or were grieved, or heavied, with sleep, and they waking saw his majesty, and the two men that stood with him, (or but awakening they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him).

³³And it was done, when they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Commander, it is good that we be here, and make we here three tabernacles, one to thee, and one to Moses, and one to Elias. And he knew not what he should say. (And it was done, when they had left him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, and we shall make here three tents, or three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. And he did not know what he should say.)

³⁴But while he spake these things, a cloud was made, and overshadowed them; and they dreaded (or and they feared), when they entered into the cloud.

³⁵And a voice was made out of the cloud, and said, This is my dearworthy Son, hear ye him (or listen to him).

³⁶And while the voice was made, Jesus was found alone. And they were still, and to no man said in those days any of those things, that they had seen, or And they held (their) peace, and said to no man in those days aught of those things that they had seen. (And after the voice was heard, Jesus was there alone. And they were silent, and did not tell anyone in those days, about anything that they had seen.)

³⁷But it was done in the day (pur)suing, when they came down of the hill, much people met them. (But it was done on the following day, when they came down from the hill, that many people met them.)

³⁸And lo! a man of the company cried, and said, Master, I beseech thee, behold my son, for I have no more; (And behold! a man among the people cried, and said, Teacher, I beseech thee, look at my son, for I have no other child;)

³⁹and lo! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and hurtleth him down, and draweth him with foam or with froth, and scarcely he goeth away (before) drawing him all to pieces.

⁴⁰And I prayed thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they might not. (And I beseeched thy disciples, that they should throw out the spirit, but they could not do it.)

⁴¹And Jesus answered and said to them, A! unfaithful generation and wayward (or O unfaithful and wayward generation!), how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring hither thy son.

⁴²And when he came nigh, the devil hurtled him down, and wrenched him. And Jesus blamed the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and yielded him (back) to his father, (or And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, yea, the demon, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father).

⁴³And all men wondered greatly in the greatness of God. And when all men wondered in all (the) things that he did, he said to his disciples, (And everyone wondered greatly at the greatness of God. And when everyone wondered at all the things that he did, he said to his disciples,)

⁴⁴Put ye these words in your hearts, for it is to come, that man’s Son be betrayed into the hands of men.

⁴⁵And they knew not this word, and it was hid before them, that they feeled it not; and they dreaded to ask him of this word. (But they did not know what this meant, and it was hidden to them, so that they could not perceive or understand it; and they feared to ask him about these words.)

⁴⁶But a thought entered into them, who of them should be (the) greatest.

⁴⁷And Jesus, seeing the thoughts of the heart(s) of them, (or And Jesus, knowing the thoughts in their hearts), took a child, and setted him beside him;

⁴⁸and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me; for he that is (the) least among you all, is the greatest.

⁴⁹And John answered and said, Commander, we saw a man casting out fiends in thy name, and we have forbidden him, for he (pur)sueth not thee with us. (And John said, Master, we saw a man throwing out devils and demons in thy name, and we have forbidden him, for he followeth not thee with us.)

⁵⁰And Jesus said to him, Do not ye forbid (him), for he that is not against us, is for us.

⁵¹And it was done, when the days of his taking up were fulfilled (or when it would soon be the day that he would be taken up into heaven), he set fast his face, to go to Jerusalem,

⁵²and sent messengers before his sight. And they went, and entered into a city of Samaritans, to make ready to him (or to prepare it for him).

⁵³And they received not him, for the face of him was going into Jerusalem.

⁵⁴And when James and John, his disciples, saw (that), they said, Lord, wilt thou that we say, that fire come down from heaven, and waste them, as Elias did? (And when James and John, his disciples, saw that, they said, Lord, desirest thou that we command, that fire come down from heaven, and destroy them, like Elijah did?)

⁵⁵And he turned, and blamed them (or and rebuked them), and said, Ye know not, whose spirits ye be;
