Luke 9:3-31 in English

³ And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.

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

⁵ And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

⁶ And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;

⁸ and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

⁹ And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

¹⁰ And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured.

¹² And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: 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 than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.

¹⁴ For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.

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

¹⁶ And 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 ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

¹⁸ And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

¹⁹ And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

²⁰ And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

²¹ But he charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no man;

²² saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

²³ And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁴ For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

²⁵ For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?

²⁶ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷ But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

²⁸ And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

²⁹ And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling.

³⁰ And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;

³¹ who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

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.

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.

²⁸ And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

²⁹ And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling.

³⁰ And behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elijah;

³¹ who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³ he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a traveler's bag or food or money. Do not take ◄an extra shirt/extra clothes►.

⁴ Whenever you enter some house to lodge there, stay in that house until you leave that town.

⁵ In towns where the people do not welcome you, you should not continue to stay there. Just leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. Do that to warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message.”

⁶ Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere they went, they told people God's good message and healed sick people.

⁷ Herod Antipas, the ruler of that district, heard about the things that Jesus and his disciples were doing. He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again and was doing those miracles.

⁸ Others were saying that the prophet Elijah had appeared again as had been prophesied. Others were saying that one of the other former prophets had become alive again and was doing those miracles.

⁹ But Herod said, “ It cannot be John who is doing these things, because I commanded my soldiers to cut off his head. So who is this man that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see Jesus.

¹⁰ When the apostles returned from traveling to various towns, they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves by boat to a town called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But when the crowds of people who had been with Jesus found out about that, they followed him on land. When they got to where he was, he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day ◄rule as king/have complete control over people's lives►. He also healed the sick people.

¹² Late in the afternoon Jesus' twelve apostles came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”

¹³ But he said to them, “ No, you yourselves give them something to eat!” They replied, “We (exc) have only five small loaves and two cooked fish. Are you (sg) going to give us the money to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”

¹⁴ There were about five thousand men there. He replied to the disciples, “ No, just tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about fifty people in each group.”

¹⁵ After they told the people that, they all sat down.

¹⁶ Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke them into pieces and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.

¹⁷ All the people in the crowd ate until they all had enough to eat. Then the disciples collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!

¹⁸ One day Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds of people, who do they say that I really am?”

¹⁹ They replied, “ Some people say that you are John the Baptizer, who has come back to life again. Others say that you are the prophet Elijah, who has returned from heaven as God promised. Others say that you are one of the other prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”

²⁰ He asked them, “What about you (pl)? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You (sg) are the Messiah, who has come from God.”

²¹ Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone yet.

²² Then he said, “ Even though I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws {that the Jewish elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that people will kill me}. Then on the third day after that, I will become alive again.”

²³ Then he said to all of them, “If any one of you wants to be my disciple, you must not do only what you yourself desire to do. Specifically, you must be willing each day MET to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced to carry MET crosses to the place where they will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.

²⁴ You must do that, because those who try to save their lives by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me will not live eternally, but those who are killed because of being my disciples will live forever with me.

²⁵ People might get everything that they want in this world, but ◄they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by becoming my disciples!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by becoming my disciples?► RHQ

²⁶ Those who reject my message and refuse to say that they belong to me, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that they belong to me when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.

²⁷ But listen carefully! Some of you (pl) who are here now will see God ruling MET in many powerful ways. You will see it before you die!”

²⁸ About a week after Jesus said those things, he took Peter, James, and James' brother John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray there.

²⁹ As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.

³⁰ Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness of heaven surrounding them. They were prophets who had lived long ago, Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he would accomplish what God had planned when he died EUP very soon in Jerusalem.

³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁶ They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁸ and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹ Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

¹⁰ The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹² The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

¹³ But 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.”

¹⁴ For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁵ They did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶ He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁸ As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁹ They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²¹ But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²² saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²³ He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁶ For 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.

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”

²⁸ About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁹ As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

³⁰ Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹ who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁴ And if you go into a house, let that house be your resting-place till you go away.

⁵ And if any people will not take you in, when you go away from that town, put off its dust from your feet for a witness against them.

⁶ And they went away, journeying through all the towns, preaching the good news and making people free from diseases in all places.

⁷ Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead;

⁸ And by some, that Elijah had come; and by others, that one of the old prophets had come back to life.

⁹ And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

¹⁰ And the twelve, when they came back, gave him an account of what they had done. And he took them with him and went away from the people to a town named Beth-saida.

¹¹ But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it.

¹² And the day went on; and the twelve came to him and said, Send these people away so that they may go into the towns and the country round about and get resting-places and food for themselves, for we are in a waste place.

¹³ But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people.

¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group.

¹⁵ And they did so, and made them all be seated.

¹⁶ And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.

¹⁷ And they all took the food and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits which were over, twelve baskets full.

¹⁸ And it came about that when he was in prayer, by himself, and the disciples were with him, he put a question to them, saying, Who do the people say I am?

¹⁹ And they, answering, said, John the Baptist; but others say Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has come back.

²⁰ And he said, But who do you say that I am? And Peter, answering, said, The Christ of God.

²¹ But he gave them special orders, not to say this to any man;

²² Saying, The Son of man will undergo much and be put on one side by the rulers and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

²³ And he said to them all, If any man has a desire to come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross every day, and come after me.

²⁴ For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it.

²⁵ For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?

²⁶ For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

²⁷ But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

²⁸ And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.

²⁹ And while he was in prayer, his face was changed and his clothing became white and shining.

³⁰ And two men, Moses and Elijah, were talking with him;

³¹ Who were seen in glory and were talking of his death which was about to take place in Jerusalem.

³ And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; nor to have two body-coats apiece.

⁴ And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide and thence go forth.

⁵ And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them.

⁶ And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere.

⁷ And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done by him, and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among the dead,

⁸ and by some that Elias had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

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

¹⁰ And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into a desert place of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But the crowds knowing it followed him; and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those that had need of healing.

¹² But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and into the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.

¹³ And he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we should go and buy food for all this people;

¹⁴ for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.

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

¹⁶ And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed them, and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd.

¹⁷ And they all ate and were filled; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets.

¹⁸ And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?

¹⁹ But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.

²⁰ And he said to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

²¹ But, earnestly charging them, he enjoined them to say this to no man,

²² saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

²³ And he said to them all, If any one will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me;

²⁴ for whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, he shall save it.

²⁵ For what shall a man profit if he shall have gained the whole world, and have destroyed, or come under the penalty of the loss of himself?

²⁶ For whosoever shall have been ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory, and in that of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷ But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God.

²⁸ And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray.

²⁹ And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white and effulgent.

³⁰ And lo, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elias,

³¹ who, appearing in glory, spoke of his departure which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.

³ And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey; neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.

⁴ And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there, and depart not from thence.

⁵ And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.

⁶ And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

⁷ Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in a doubt, because it was said

⁸ By some, that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

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

¹⁰ And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.

¹¹ Which when the people knew, they followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them who had need of healing.

¹² Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.

¹³ But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this multitude.

¹⁴ Now there 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 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them; and he broke, and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.

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

¹⁸ And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am?

¹⁹ But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.

²⁰ And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God.

²¹ But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man.

²² Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day rise again.

²³ And he said to 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; for he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it.

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

²⁶ For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷ But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.

²⁸ And it came to pass about eight days after these words, that he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.

²⁹ And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glittering.

³⁰ And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,

³¹ Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.

³ And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor knapsack nor bread nor silver; and do not have two tunics apiece.

⁴ “Whatever house you may enter, stay there, and from there go out.

⁵ And as many as will not receive you, when you go out from that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”

⁶ As they went out, they were going about village by village, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁸ and by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.

⁹ And Herod said, “John I have beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he was seeking to see Him.

¹⁰ And the apostles, when they had returned, recounted to Him all that they had done. And taking them along, He withdrew privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But when the crowds found out, they followed Him; and He welcomed them, and was speaking to them about the kingdom of God, and He cured those who needed healing.

¹² Now when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, “Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and they may find lodging and find provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.”

¹³ But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, “Make them recline in groups of fifty.”

¹⁵ And they did so, and made them all recline.

¹⁶ And taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

¹⁷ So they all ate and were satisfied, and twelve baskets of the remaining fragments were taken up by them.

¹⁸ And it came to pass, while He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds pronounce Me to be?”

¹⁹ So they answered and said, “John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the ancient prophets has arisen.”

²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you pronounce Me to be?” Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”

²¹ And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²² saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day.”

²³ Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake shall save it.

²⁵ For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?

²⁶ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.

²⁷ But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will by no means taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”

²⁸ Now it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

²⁹ And while He was praying, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing became white and glistening.

³⁰ And behold, two men were talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹ who appearing in glory were talking about His decease which He was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.

³ And He said to them: “Take nothing for the journey—neither staffs nor knapsack nor bread nor money, neither have two tunics apiece.

⁴ Whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵ But as many as do not receive you, when you depart from that town, shake off even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”

⁶ So they set out and went around, village by village, evangelizing and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁸ and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.

⁹ But Herod said, “John I beheaded; so who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he started trying to see Him.

¹⁰ When the Apostles returned they reported to Him all that they had done. Then He took them and withdrew privately to a deserted place belonging to a town called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But the crowds, being aware, followed Him. So He received them and started speaking to them about the Kingdom of God, and He cured those who needed healing.

¹² Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve approached and said to Him, “Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go to the surrounding villages and their farms, lodge and find food; because we are in a deserted place here.”

¹³ But He said to them, “You feed them!” So they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd”

¹⁴ (there were about five thousand men). But He said to His disciples, “Make them recline in groups of fifty!”

¹⁵ They did so, making them all recline.

¹⁶ Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the pieces they left were taken up.

¹⁸ Now it happened, as He was alone praying, that the disciples joined Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say I am?”

¹⁹ In answer they said, “John the Baptizer, but others say ‘Elijah,’ while others that one of the ancient prophets has arisen.”

²⁰ Then He said to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” In answer Peter said, “The Christ of God!”

²¹ But He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²² saying, “The Son of the Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²³ Then He said to everyone: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁴ Because whoever desires to ‘save’ his life will waste it, but whoever ‘wastes’ his life for my sake, he will save it.

²⁵ Further, what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, yet wastes or forfeits his very self?

²⁶ Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of the Man will be ashamed of Him, whenever He comes in the glory—His, and the Father's, and of the holy angels.

²⁷ However, I tell you truly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God!”

²⁸ Now about eight days after these words, it happened that He took along Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

²⁹ And as He prayed, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing dazzling white.

³⁰ And then, two men started talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah;

³¹ they appeared in glory and were explaining His ‘departure’, that He was about to bring to fruition in Jerusalem.

³ “Take nothing with you for the journey,” he told them. “No staff, no bag, no bread, no money, not even any extra clothes.

⁴ Whatever house you enter, stay there, and when you leave, leave from there.

⁵ If people refuse to accept you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave town as a warning against them.”

⁶ They left and went around the villages, announcing the good news and healing everywhere they went.

⁷ Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was happening, and he was very puzzled. Some were saying that John had been raised from the dead;

⁸ others that Elijah had appeared; still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.

⁹ Herod said, “There's no question I beheaded John. So who is this man? I'm hearing all these things about him.” And he tried to find a way to meet Jesus.

¹⁰ When the apostles returned they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he left with them and went to a town called Bethsaida.

¹¹ However, the crowds found out where he was going and followed him there. He welcomed them and explained the kingdom of God to them, and healed those who needed healing.

¹² Late in the day, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “You should send the crowd away now so they can go to the villages and farms nearby and find a place to stay and food to eat—there's nothing here where we are.”

¹³ “You give them something to eat!” said Jesus. “All we have here are five loaves and two fish—unless you want us to go and buy food for everyone,” they said.

¹⁴ There were about five thousand men present. “Sit them down in groups of about fifty,” he told his disciples.

¹⁵ The disciples did so, and everybody sat down.

¹⁶ Jesus picked up the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed the food and broke it into pieces. He kept on giving the food to the disciples to share with the people.

¹⁷ Everybody ate until they were full, and then twelve baskets of leftovers were collected.

¹⁸ At another time, when Jesus was praying in private with just his disciples with him, he asked them, “All these crowds of people—who do they say I am?”

¹⁹ “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others say one of the ancient prophets risen from the dead,” they replied.

²⁰ “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” “God's Messiah,” Peter replied.

²¹ Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anybody about this.

²² “The Son of man must experience terrible sufferings,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the religious teachers. He will be killed, but on the third day he will rise again.”

²³ “If any one of you wants to follow me, you must deny yourself, pick up your cross daily, and follow me,” Jesus told all of them.

²⁴ “For if you want to save your life, you will lose it; and if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it.

²⁵ What do you benefit by gaining the whole world if you end up lost or destroyed?

²⁶ If you are ashamed of me and my message, the Son of man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory, and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.

²⁷ I tell you the truth, some standing here won't taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”

²⁸ About eight days later, after he had told them this, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a mountain to pray.

²⁹ While he was praying, his face changed in appearance, and his clothing became a dazzling white.

³⁰ Two men appeared in brilliant glory. They were Moses and Elijah, and they began to talk with Jesus.

³¹ They spoke about his death, which would soon happen in Jerusalem.

³ And he sayd to them, Take nothing to your iourney, neither staues, nor scrip, neither bread, nor siluer, neither haue two coates apiece.

⁴ And whatsoeuer house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

⁵ And howe many so euer will not receiue you, when ye goe out of that citie, shake off the very dust from your feete for a testimonie against them.

⁶ And they went out, and went through euery towne preaching the Gospel, and healing euery where.

⁷ Nowe Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he douted, because that it was sayd of some, that Iohn was risen againe from the dead:

⁸ And of some, that Elias had appeared: and of some, that one of the olde Prophets was risen againe.

⁹ Then Herod sayd, Iohn haue I beheaded: who then is this of whome I heare such things? and he desired to see him.

¹⁰ And when the Apostles returned, they tolde him what great things they had done. Then he tooke them to him, and went aside into a solitarie place, neere to the citie called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But when the people knewe it, they followed him: and he receiued them, and spake vnto them of the kingdome of God, and healed them that had neede to be healed.

¹² And when the day began to weare away, the twelue came, and sayd vnto him, Sende the people away, that they may goe into the townes and villages round about, and lodge, and get meate: for we are here in a desart place.

¹³ But he sayd vnto them, Giue ye them to eate. And they sayd, We haue no more but fiue loaues and two fishes, except we should go and buy meate for all this people.

¹⁴ For they were about fiue thousand men. Then he sayde to his disciples, Cause them to sit downe by fifties in a company.

¹⁵ And they did so, and caused all to sit downe.

¹⁶ Then he tooke the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen, and blessed them, and brake, and gaue to the disciples, to set before the people.

¹⁷ So they did all eate, and were satisfied: and there was taken vp of that remained to them, twelue baskets full of broken meate.

¹⁸ And it came to passe, as hee was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

¹⁹ They answered, and sayd, Iohn Baptist: and others say, Elias: and some say, that one of the olde Prophets is risen againe.

²⁰ And he sayd vnto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered, and sayd, That Christ of God.

²¹ And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell that to no man,

²² Saying, The Sonne of man must suffer many things and be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priests and Scribes, and be slaine, and the third day rise againe.

²³ And he sayd to them all, If any man will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse dayly, and follow me.

²⁴ For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall saue it.

²⁵ For what auantageth it a man, if he win the whole worlde, and destroy himselfe, or lose himselfe?

²⁶ For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of me, and of my wordes, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed, when hee shall come in his glorie, and in the glorie of the Father, and of the holy Angels.

²⁷ And I tell you of a suretie, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they haue seene the kingdome of God.

²⁸ And it came to passe about an eyght dayes after those wordes, that he tooke Peter and Iohn, and Iames, and went vp into a mountaine to pray.

²⁹ And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was changed, and his garment was white and glistered.

³⁰ And beholde, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elias:

³¹ Which appeared in glory, and tolde of his departing, which he shoulde accomplish at Hierusalem.

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.

³ And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece.

⁴ And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and from it take your departure.

⁵ And whoever shall not receive you, shake off, when ye leave that city, even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.

⁶ And they departed, and went through the towns publishing the glad tidings, and performing cures everywhere.

⁷ And Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was taking place, and was perplexed; because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead;

⁸ and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets had risen.

⁹ But Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

¹⁰ And the apostles returned and told him what they had done; and taking them with him, he withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

¹² And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages around, and the open country, and lodge, and get food; for we are here in a desert place.

¹³ But he said to them, Do ye give them food. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we ourselves should go and buy food for l all these people.

¹⁴ They were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them lie down in companies of fifty.

¹⁵ And they did so, and made them all lie down.

¹⁶ Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ And they ate, and were all filled; and what remained to them of fragments was taken up, twelve baskets.

¹⁸ And it came to pass as he was in a private place praying, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

¹⁹ And they answering said, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets hath risen.

²⁰ And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

²¹ But he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no one;

²² saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and rise again on the third day.

²³ And he said to all, If any one chooseth to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁴ For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; and whoever loseth his life for my sake, he will save it.

²⁵ For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit himself?

²⁶ For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when be cometh in his glory, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷ And I tell you in truth, that there are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.

²⁸ And it came to pass about eight days after this discourse, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

²⁹ And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment became white and glistening.

³⁰ And lo! two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah;

³¹ who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.

³ “Do not,” he said to them, “take anything for your journey; not even a staff, or a bag, or bread, or any silver, or a change of clothes with you.

⁴ Whatever house you go to stay in, remain there, and leave from that place.

⁵ If people do not welcome you, as you leave that town, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protest against them.”

⁶ Then they set out and went from village to village, telling the good news and curing people everywhere.

⁷ Prince Herod heard of all that was happening, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John must be risen from the dead.

⁸ Some again said that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹ But Herod himself said, “John I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things?” And he endeavored to see him.

¹⁰ When the apostles returned, they related to Jesus all that they had done. Then Jesus went privately to a town called Bethsaida, taking the apostles with him.

¹¹ But the people recognised him and followed him in crowds; and Jesus welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, while he cured those who were in need of help.

¹² The day was drawing to a close, when the twelve came up to him, and said, “Send the crowd away, so that they may make their way to the villages and farms around about, and find themselves lodgings and provisions, for we are in a lonely spot here.”

¹³ But Jesus said, “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “We have not more than five loaves and two fish,” they answered; “unless indeed we are to go and buy food for all these people.”

¹⁴ (For the men amongst them were about five thousand.) “Get them seated in companies,” was his reply, “about fifty in each.”

¹⁵ This they did, and got all the people seated.

¹⁶ Taking the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus looked up to heaven and said the blessing over them. Then he broke them in pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people.

¹⁷ Everyone had sufficient to eat, and what was left of the broken pieces was picked up — twelve baskets.

¹⁸ Afterward, when Jesus was alone, praying, his disciples joined him, and he asked them this question — “Who do the people say that I am?”

¹⁹ “John the Baptist,” was their answer; “others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

²⁰ “But you,” he went on, “who do you say that I am?” And to this Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²¹ Jesus, however, strictly charged them not to say this to anyone;

²² he told them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.

²³ And to all present he said, “If any one wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross daily, and follow me.

²⁴ For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life — that person will save it.

²⁵ What good does it do someone if, when they has gained the whole world, they has lost or forfeited themselves?

²⁶ Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them, when he comes in his glory and the glory of the father and of the holy angels.

²⁷ Indeed, I tell you, some who are standing before me will not know death, until they have seen the kingdom of God.”

²⁸ About eight days after speaking these words, Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking with him Peter, John, and James.

²⁹ As he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed, and his clothing became of a glittering whiteness.

³⁰ And all at once two men were talking with Jesus; they were Moses and Elijah,

³¹ who appeared in a glorified state, and spoke of his departure, which was destined to take place at Jerusalem.

³ “Do not,” he said to them, “take anything for your journey; not even a staff, or a bag, or bread, or any silver, or a change of clothes with you.

⁴ Whatever house you go to stay in, remain there, and leave from that place.

⁵ If people do not welcome you, as you leave that town, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protest against them.”

⁶ Then they set out and went from village to village, telling the good news and curing people everywhere.

²⁸ About eight days after speaking these words, Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking with him Peter, John, and James.

²⁹ As he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed, and his clothing became of a glittering whiteness.

³⁰ And all at once two men were talking with Jesus; they were Moses and Elijah,

³¹ who appeared in a glorified state, and spoke of his departure, which was destined to take place at Jerusalem.

³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey— neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁶ They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Herod Heroic the tetrarch (one of four co-emperors) heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John Yah is gracious had risen from the dead,

⁸ and by some that Elijah My God Yah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹ Herod Heroic said, “John Yah is gracious I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

¹⁰ The apostles, when they had teshuvah ·completely returned·, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹² The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

¹³ But 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.”

¹⁴ For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁵ They did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶ He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁸ As he was praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁹ They answered, “‘John Yah is gracious the Immerser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah My God Yah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”

²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter Rock answered, “The Messiah Anointed one of God.”

²¹ But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²² saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and Torah-Teachers, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²³ He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his execution-stake, and follow me.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁶ For 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 Abba Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see God’s Kingdom.”

²⁸ About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter Rock, John Yah is gracious, and James Surplanter, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁹ As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

³⁰ Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses Drawn out and Elijah My God Yah,

³¹ who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem City of peace.

³ And he sayd to them: Take nothinge to sucker you by the waye: nether staffe nor scripe nether breed nether money nether have twoo cootes.

⁴ And whatsoever housse ye enter into there abyde and thence departe.

⁵ And whosoever will not receave you when ye go out of that cite shake of the very dust from youre fete for a testimony agaynst them.

⁶ And they went out and went thorow the tounes preachinge the gospell and healynge every wheare.

⁷ And Herod the tetrarch herde of all that was done of him and douted because that it was sayde of some that Iohn was rysen agayne from deeth:

⁸ and of some that Helyas had apered: and of other that one of the olde prophetes was rysen agayne.

⁹ And Herod sayde: Iohn have I behedded: who then is this of whom I heare suche thinges? And he desyred to se him.

¹⁰ And the Apostles retourned and tolde him what great thinges they had done. And he toke them and went a syde into a solitary place nye to a citie called Bethsaida.

¹¹ And the people knewe of it and folowed him. And he receaved them and spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God and healed them that had nede to be healed.

¹² And when the daye beganne to weare awaye then came the twelve and sayde vnto him: sende the people awaye that they maye goo into the tounes and villages roundabout and lodge and get meate for we are here in a place of wyldernes.

¹³ But he sayde vnto them: Geve ye them to eate. And they sayde. We have no moo but fyve loves and two fisshes except we shuld goo and bye meate for all this people.

¹⁴ And they were about a fyve thousand men. And he sayde to his disciples: Cause them to syt doune by fyfties in a company.

¹⁵ And they dyd soo and made them all syt doune.

¹⁶ And he toke the fyve loves and the two fisshes and loked vp to heven and blessed them and brake and gave to the disciples to set before the people.

¹⁷ And they ate and were all satisfied. And ther was taken vp of that remayned to the twelve baskettes full of broken meate.

¹⁸ And it fortuned as he was alone prayinge his disciples were with him and he axed the sayinge: Who saye ye people that I am?

¹⁹ They answered and sayd: Iohn Baptist. Some saye Helyas. And some saye one of the olde prophetes is rysen agayne.

²⁰ He sayde vnto the: Who saye ye that I am? Peter answered and sayde: thou arte the Christ of god.

²¹ And he warned and commaunded them that they shuld tell no man that thinge

²² sayinge: that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges and be reproved of the elders and of the hye prestes and scribes and be slayne and the thirde daye ryse agayne.

²³ And he sayde to them all yf eny man will come after me let him denye him sylfe and take vp his crosse dayly and folowe me.

²⁴ Whosoever will save his lyfe shall lose it. And who soever shall lose his lyfe for my sake the same shall save it.

²⁵ For what avauntageth it a man to wynne the whole worlde yf he loose him sylfe or runne in domage of him sylfe?

²⁶ For whosoever is ashamed of me and of my sayinges: of him shall the sonne of man be ashamed when he cometh in his awne glorie and in the glorie of his father and of the holy angels.

²⁷ And I tell you of a surety: There be some of the that stonde here which shall not tast of deeth tyll they se the kyngdome of god.

²⁸ And it folowed about an .viii. dayes after thoose sayinges that he toke Peter Iames and Iohn and went vp into a moutayne to praye.

²⁹ And as he prayed the facion of his countenaunce was changed and his garment was whyte and shoone.

³⁰ And beholde two men talked with him and they were Moses and Helyas

³¹ which appered gloriously and spake of his departinge which he shuld ende at Ierusalem.

³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staff, no wallet, no bread, no money, and no extra tunic.

⁴ Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave.

⁵ Wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”

⁶ Then they departed and went through the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁸ and others said that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.

⁹ Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who is this about whom I hear such things?” And so he tried to see him.

¹⁰ When the apostles returned, they told him everything they had done. Then he took them with him, and they went away privately to a town called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But when the crowds heard about this, they followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹² Now the day was about to come to an end, and the twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and food, because we are here in an isolated place.”

¹³ But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

¹⁴ (There were about five thousand men.) He said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁵ So they did this, and made the people sit down.

¹⁶ Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, he blessed them and broke them into pieces, and he gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

¹⁷ They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up—twelve baskets of broken pieces.

¹⁸ It came about while Jesus was praying by himself, the disciples were with him. He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”

¹⁹ They answered, “John the Baptist. But others say Elijah, and others say that one of the prophets from long ago has risen.”

²⁰ Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²¹ But he strongly warned them to tell this to no one,

²² saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and he will be killed and on the third day be raised.”

²³ Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

²⁴ Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.

²⁵ What good is it for a person to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit himself?

²⁶ Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his own glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

²⁷ But I say to you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

²⁸ Now about eight days after Jesus said these words, he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

²⁹ As he was praying, the form of his face was changed, and his clothes became brilliant white.

³⁰ Behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,

³¹ who appeared in glorious splendor. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to completion in Jerusalem.

³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁶ They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁸ and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹ Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

¹⁰ The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹² The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

¹³ But 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.”

¹⁶ He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁸ As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁹ They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²¹ But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²² saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

⁴ And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.

⁵ And whoever 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 by some, that John had risen from the dead;

⁸ And by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets had 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 had 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 spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

¹² And when the day began to decline, then came the twelve, and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country around, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

¹³ But he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy provisions 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 broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ And they ate, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.

¹⁸ And it came to pass, as he was in retirement praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am?

¹⁹ They answering, said, John the Baptist; but some say , Elijah; and others say , that one of the ancient prophets is risen again.

²⁰ He said to them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answering, said, Christ of God.

²¹ And he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing,

²² Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be put to death, 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 whoever will save his life, shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

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

²⁶ For whoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in that of his Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷ But I tell you in truth, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.

²⁸ And it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter, and John, and James, and went up upon a mountain to pray.

²⁹ And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistening.

³⁰ And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah.

³¹ Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁶ They departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the Good News and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that Yochanan had risen from the dead,

⁸ and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹ Herod said, “I beheaded Yochanan, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

¹⁰ The emissaries, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹⁷ They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁸ As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁹ They answered, “‘Yochanan the Immerser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Messiah of God.”

²¹ But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²² saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²³ He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁶ For 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.

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”

²⁸ About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, Yochanan, and Jacob, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁹ As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

³⁰ Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹ who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁶ They departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the Good News and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that Yochanan had risen from the dead,

⁸ and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹ Herod said, “I beheaded Yochanan, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

¹⁰ The emissaries, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹² The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

¹³ But 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.”

¹⁴ For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁵ They did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶ He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁸ As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁹ They answered, “‘Yochanan the Immerser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Messiah of God.”

²¹ But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²² saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²³ He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁶ For 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.

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”

²⁸ About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, Yochanan, and Jacob, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁹ As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

³⁰ Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹ who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³ And he said to them, Nothing take ye in the way, neither a staff or a rod, nor scrip, neither bread, nor money, and neither have ye two coats.

⁴ And into whatever house ye enter, dwell ye there, and go ye not out from thence.

⁵ And whoever receive not you or whoever shall not receive you, go ye out of that city, and shake ye off the powder of your feet into witnessing on them.

⁶ And they went forth, and went about by castles, preaching or evangelizing and healing everywhere.

⁷ And Herod the tetrarch or prince of the fourth part, heard all the things that were done of him, and he doubted, for that it was said of some men, that John was risen from death;

⁸ and of some men, that Elijah had appeared; but of others, that one of the old prophets was risen.

⁹ And Herod said, I have beheaded John; and who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

¹⁰ And the apostles turned again, and told to him all things that they had done. And he took them, and went beside into a desert place, that is called Bethsaida.

¹¹ And when the people knew this, they followed him. And he received them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God; and he healed them that had need of cure.

¹² And the day began to bow down, and the twelve came, and said to him, Leave the people, that they go, and turn into the castles and towns, that be about, that they find meat, for we be here in a desert place.

¹³ And he said to them, Give ye to them to eat. And they said, There be not to us more than five loaves and two fishes, but peradventure that we go, and buy meats to all this people or for all the company.

¹⁴ And the men were almost five thousand. And he said to his disciples, Make ye them to sit to meat by companies, a fifty together.

¹⁵ And they did so, and they made all men sit to or at the meat.

¹⁶ And when he had taken the five loaves and two fishes, he beheld into heaven, and blessed them, and brake, and dealed to his disciples, that they should set or put forth before the companies.

¹⁷ And all men ate, and were full-filled or were filled; and that that left to them of broken meats was taken up, twelve coffins.

¹⁸ And 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?

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

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

²¹ And he blaming them, commanded them that they should say to no man,

²² and 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 priests, and of the scribes, and to be slain, and the third day to rise again.

²³ And he said to all men, If any man will come after me, deny he himself, and take he his cross every day, and pursue he me.

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

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

²⁶ For 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.

²⁷ And I say to you, verily there be some standing here, which shall not taste death, till they see the realm of God.

²⁸ And 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.

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

³⁰ And lo! two men spake with him, and Moses and Elijah

³¹ were seen in majesty; and they said his going out, which he should fulfill in Jerusalem.

³ And he said to them, Nothing take ye in the way (or Take nothing on or for the way), neither a staff or a rod, nor scrip, neither bread, nor money, and neither have ye two coats.

⁴ And into whatever house ye enter, dwell ye there (or remain there), and go ye not out from thence.

⁵ And whoever receive not you or And whoever shall not receive you, go ye out of that city, and shake ye off the powder of your feet into witnessing on them (or and shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them).

⁶ And they went forth, and went about by castles (or and went through the villages), preaching or evangelizing and healing everywhere.

⁷ And Herod the tetrarch or (the) prince of the fourth part, heard (of) all the things that were done of him, and he doubted, for that it was said of some men, that John was risen from death or for (that) John had risen from (the) dead; (And Herod, the tetrarch, or the prince of a quarter of the kingdom, heard of all of the things that were done by him, and he wondered about it, for it was said by some people, that John had risen from the dead;)

⁸ and of some men, that Elias had appeared; but of others, that one of the old prophets was risen. (and by some, that Elijah had appeared; but by others, that one of the prophets of old had arisen.)

⁹ And Herod said, I have beheaded John; and who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

¹⁰ And the apostles turned again, and told to him all (the) things that they had done, (or And the apostles returned, and told him about everything that they had done). And he took them, and went beside into a desert place, that is called Bethsaida.

¹¹ And when the people knew this, they followed him. And he received them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God (or and spoke to them about the Kingdom of God); and he healed them that had need of (a) cure.

¹² And the day began to bow down, and the twelve came, and said to him, Leave the people, that they go, and turn into the castles and towns, that be about, that they find meat, for we be here in a desert place. (And the day began to bow down, and the Twelve came, and said to him, Let the people go, or Send them away, so that they can go, and return to the villages and towns, that be about, so that they can find some food, for we be here in this deserted place.)

¹³ And he said to them, Give ye to them (something) to eat. And they said, There be not to us more than five loaves and two fishes, but peradventure that we go, and buy meats to all this people, or but peradventure we go, and buy meats for all the company, (or but perhaps we can go, and buy some food for all of these people).

¹⁴ And the men were almost five thousand. And he said to his disciples, Make ye them to sit to (the) meat by companies, a fifty together, (or And he said to his disciples, Make them to sit down for the meal in groups, fifty together).

¹⁵ And they did so, and they made all men sit to the meat. (And they did so, and they made everyone to sit down for the meal.)

¹⁶ And when he had taken the five loaves and two fishes, he beheld into heaven, and blessed them, and brake (them), and dealed (them out) to his disciples, (so) that they should set or put (them) forth before the companies.

¹⁷ And 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.)

¹⁸ And 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?

¹⁹ And 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.)

²⁰ And 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).

²¹ And 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,

²² and 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.

²³ And 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).

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

²⁵ And 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).

²⁶ For 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.)

²⁷ And 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.)

²⁸ And 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).

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

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

³¹ were 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.)

³ And he seide to hem, No thing take ye in the weie, nether yerde, ne scrippe, nether breed, ne money, and nether haue ye two cootis.

⁴ And in to what hous that ye entren, dwelle ye there, and go ye not out fro thennus.

⁵ And who euer resseyuen not you, go ye out of that citee, and schake ye of the poudir of youre feet in to witnessyng on hem.

⁶ And thei yeden forth, and wenten aboute bi castels, prechynge and helynge euery where.

⁷ And Eroude tetrak herde alle thingis that weren don of hym, and he doutide,

⁸ for that it was seide of sum men, that Joon was risen fro deth; and of summen, that Elie hadde apperid; but of othere, that oon of the elde prophetis was risun.

⁹ And Eroude seide, Y haue biheedid Joon; and who is this, of whom Y here siche thingis? And he souyte to se hym.

¹⁰ And the apostlis turneden ayen, and tolden to hym alle thingis that thei hadden don. And he took hem, and wente bisidis in to a desert place, that is Bethsada.

¹¹ And whanne the puple knewen this, thei folewiden hym. And he resseyuede hem, and spak to hem of the kyngdom of God; and he heelide hem that hadden neede of cure.

¹² And the dai bigan to bowe doun, and the twelue camen, and seiden to hym, Leeue the puple, that thei go, and turne in to castels and townes, that ben aboute, that thei fynde mete, for we ben here in a desert place.

¹³ And he seide to hem, Yue ye to hem to ete. And thei seiden, Ther ben not to vs mo than fyue looues and twei fischis, but perauenture that we go, and bie meetis to al this puple.

¹⁴ And the men weren almost fyue thousynde. And he seide to hise disciplis, Make ye hem sitte to mete bi cumpanyes, a fifti to gidir.

¹⁵ And thei diden so, and thei maden alle men sitte to mete.

¹⁶ And whanne he hadde take the fyue looues and twei fischis, he biheeld in to heuene, and blesside hem, and brak, and delide to hise disciplis, that thei schulden sette forth bifor the cumpanyes.

¹⁷ And alle men eeten, and weren fulfillid; and that that lefte to hem of brokun metis was takun vp, twelue cofyns.

¹⁸ And it was don, whanne he was aloone preiynge, hise disciplis weren with hym, and he axide hem, and seide, Whom seien the puple that Y am?

¹⁹ And thei answeriden, and seiden, Joon Baptist, othir seien Elie, and othir seien, o profete of the formere is risun.

²⁰ And he seide to hem, But who seien ye that Y am? Symount Petir answeride, and seide, The Crist of God.

²¹ And he blamynge hem comaundide that thei schulden seie to no man,

²² and seide these thingis, For it bihoueth mannus sone to suffre many thingis, and to be repreued of the elder men, and of the princis of prestis, and of scribis, and to be slayn, and the thridde dai to rise ayen.

²³ And he seide to alle, If ony wole come aftir me, denye he hym silf, and take he his cross euery dai, and sue he me.

²⁴ For he that wole make his lijf saaf schal leese it; and he that leesith his lijf for me, schal make it saaf.

²⁵ And what profitith it to a man, if he wynne al the world, and leese hymsilf, and do peiryng of him silf.

²⁶ For who so schameth me and my wordis, mannus sone schal schame hym, whanne he cometh in his maieste, and of the fadris, and of the hooli aungels.

²⁷ And Y seie to you, verily ther ben summe stondynge here, whiche schulen not taste deeth, til thei seen the rewme of God.

²⁸ And it was don aftir these wordis almest eiyte daies, and he took Petre and James and Joon, and he stiede in to an hil, to preye.

²⁹ And while he preiede, the licnesse of his cheer was chaungid, and his clothing was whit schynynge.

³⁰ And lo! two men spaken with hym,

³¹ and Moises and Helie weren seen in maieste; and thei sayn his goyng out, which he schulde fulfille in Jerusalem.

³ And he said unto them, 'Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;

⁴ and into whatever house ye may enter, there remain, and thence depart;

⁵ 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 And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.

⁷ 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 and by certain, that Elijah did appear, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;

⁹ 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 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 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 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 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 for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, 'Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty;'

¹⁵ and they did so, and made all to recline;

¹⁶ 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 and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

¹⁸ 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 And they answering said, 'John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;'

²⁰ and he said to them, 'And ye — who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering said, 'The Christ of God.'

²¹ And having charged them, he commanded them to say this to no one,

²² 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 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 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 for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?

²⁶ '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 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 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 and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white — sparkling.

³⁰ And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹ who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem,
