Luke 9:31-62

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

³²but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.

³³And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, 'Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith:

³⁴and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud,

³⁵and a voice came out of the cloud saying, 'This is My Son — the Beloved; hear ye him;'

³⁶and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have seen.

³⁷And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mount, there met him a great multitude,

³⁸and lo, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, 'Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only begotten;

³⁹and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him,

⁴⁰and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.'

⁴¹And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;'

⁴²and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore him sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴'Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.'

⁴⁵And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them?

⁴⁷and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself,

⁴⁸and said to them, 'Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all — he shall be great.'

⁴⁹And John answering said, 'Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;'

⁵⁰and Jesus said unto him, 'Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'

⁵¹And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem,

⁵²and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him,

⁵³and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴And his disciples James and John having seen, said, 'Sir, wilt thou that we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?'

⁵⁵and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, 'Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;

⁵⁶for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.

⁵⁷And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, 'I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;'

⁵⁸and Jesus said to him, 'The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.'

⁵⁹And he said unto another, 'Be following me;' and he said, 'Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;'

⁶⁰and Jesus said to him, 'Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.'

⁶¹And another also said, 'I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;'

⁶²and Jesus said unto him, 'No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'
