Luke 9:31-62

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

³²But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

³³And it came to pass, that as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said.

³⁴And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they entered into the cloud.

³⁵And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.

³⁶And whilst the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen.

³⁷And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude.

³⁸And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one.

³⁹And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

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

⁴²And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down, and tore him.

⁴³And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to his father.

⁴⁴And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵But they understood not this word; and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.

⁴⁶And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.

⁴⁷But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,

⁴⁸And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.

⁴⁹And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

⁵⁰And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.

⁵¹And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

⁵²And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.

⁵³And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?

⁵⁵And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.

⁵⁶The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.

⁵⁷And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee withersoever thou goest.

⁵⁸Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

⁵⁹But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go, and to bury my father.

⁶⁰And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.

⁶¹And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.

⁶²Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
