Luke 9:31-62 in English

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

³² Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

³³ And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto 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 Elijah: not knowing what he said.

³⁴ And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

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

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

³⁷ And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

³⁸ And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:

³⁹ and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶ And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷ But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

⁵⁰ But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.

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

⁵⁵ But he turned, and rebuked them.

⁵⁶ And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

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

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

⁶⁰ But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

⁶² But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

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

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

³³ And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto 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.

³⁴ While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

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

³⁶ And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

³⁷ And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.

³⁸ And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

³⁹ And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

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

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ And said unto 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 least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

⁵⁵ But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

⁵⁶ For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

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

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

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

⁶¹ And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

⁶² And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

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

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

³³ And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto 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.

⁶⁰ But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

⁶² But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

³² Peter and the other disciples who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw Jesus' brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.

³³ As Moses and Elijah were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.

³⁴ As he was saying that, a bright cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.

³⁵ God MTY/EUP spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom I have chosen to do a great work for me. So you must listen to him!”

³⁶ After God MTY/EUP finished saying that, the three disciples saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.

³⁷ The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd of people met Jesus.

³⁸ Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, do something to help my son! He is my only child!

³⁹ At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and causes him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.

⁴⁰ I pleaded with your disciples who were here for them to expel the evil spirit, but they were not able to do it!”

⁴¹ Jesus replied by saying to everyone who had gathered there, “ You who have seen how I help people do not believe that you can do anything. What you think is perverted! How long must I be with you before you are able to do what I do RHQ? How long must I endure your lack of faith?” Then he said to the boy's father, “Bring your (sg) son here to me!”

⁴² While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father's care.

⁴³ All the people there were amazed at the great power of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Think carefully MTY about what I am about to tell you: Even though I am the one who came from heaven, I will soon be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) { someone is about to enable MTY my enemies to seize me}.”

⁴⁵ But the disciples did not understand what he was saying; God prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know yet what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.

⁴⁶ The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest when Jesus became king.

⁴⁷ But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.

⁴⁸ He said to the disciples, “Those who, because they love me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ◄ like this one/ as I would► MTY, God considers that MET they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, God considers that MET they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones whom God considers to be great.”

⁴⁹ John replied to Jesus, “Master, we (exc) saw a man who was expelling demons, claiming that he had authority from you MTY to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us disciples.”

⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him and the other disciples, “Do not tell him not to do that! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to achieve the same goals that you are!”

⁵¹ When it was almost time for God to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.

⁵² He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria district to prepare for him SYN to go there.

⁵³ But the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So, because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come to their village.

⁵⁴ When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you (sg) want us (exc) to pray that God will send fire down from heaven, as the prophet Elijah did long ago, and destroy those people?”

⁵⁵ But Jesus turned and rebuked them for saying that.

⁵⁶ So they went to a different village.

⁵⁷ As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you (sg) wherever you go!”

⁵⁸ In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus, Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes in the ground in which to live, and birds have nests, but even though I am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”

⁵⁹ Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go home first. After my father dies I will bury him, and then I will come with you.”

⁶⁰ But Jesus said to him, “ God considers that those who do not have eternal life are dead MET. Let those people do the work of burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants ◄to rule/to have complete control over► people's lives!”

⁶¹ Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”

⁶² Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly, anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind is not fit to serve me and tell others about how God wants to rule MTY people's lives.”

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

³² Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³ As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴ While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶ When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷ On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

³⁸ Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.

³⁹ Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

⁴¹ Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶ An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷ Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁹ John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹ It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem

⁵² and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³ They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

⁵⁷ As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁹ He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

⁶¹ Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶² But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

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

³² Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶ An argument arose amongst them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷ Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least amongst you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁹ John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹ It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem

⁵² and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³ They didn’t receive him, because he was travelling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

⁵⁷ As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁹ He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

⁶¹ Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶² But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

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

³² Now Peter and those who were with him were overcome with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were with him.

³³ And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.

³⁴ And while he said these things, the shade of a cloud came over them, and they were full of fear when they went into the cloud.

³⁵ And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.

³⁶ And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.

³⁷ And on the day after, when they came down from the mountain, a great band of people came to him.

³⁸ And a man from among them, crying out, said, Master, I make a request to you, give a thought to my son, for he is my only child:

³⁹ And see, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he gives a cry, twisted in pain and streaming at the lips, and when it goes away from him at last, he is marked as from blows.

⁴⁰ And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.

⁴¹ And Jesus said, O generation without faith and false in heart, how long will I have to be with you and put up with you? let your son come here.

⁴² And while he was coming, he was pushed violently down and twisted by the evil spirit. But Jesus gave sharp orders to the unclean spirit, and made the boy well, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And they were full of wonder at the great power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these words go deep into your ears, for the Son of man will be given up into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But this saying was not clear to them and its sense was kept secret from them so that they were not able to see it: and they had fear of questioning him about it.

⁴⁶ Now there was a discussion among them about which of them would be the greatest.

⁴⁷ But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their hearts, he took a small child and put him by his side,

⁴⁸ And said to them, Whoever gives honour to this child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour to him who sent me: for whoever is least among you all, that man is great.

⁴⁹ And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.

⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, Let him do it, for he who is not against you is for you.

⁵¹ And it came about that when the days were near for him to be taken up, his face was turned to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² And he sent men before: and they came to a small town of Samaria to make ready for him.

⁵³ But they would not have him there, because he was clearly going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord, may we send fire from heaven and put an end to them?

⁵⁵ But turning round he said sharp words to them.

⁵⁶ And they went to another small town.

⁵⁷ And when they were on the way, a certain man said to him, I will come after you wherever you go.

⁵⁸ And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have resting-places, but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

⁵⁹ And he said to another, Come after me. But he said, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.

⁶⁰ But he said to him, Let the dead take care of their dead; it is for you to go and give news of the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.

⁶² But Jesus said, No man, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is good enough for the kingdom of God.

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

³² But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³ And it came to pass as they departed from him, Peter said 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.

³⁴ But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:

³⁵ and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

³⁶ And as the voice was heard Jesus was found alone: and they kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

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

³⁸ And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child:

³⁹ and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it tears him with foaming, and with difficulty departs from him after crushing him.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not.

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

⁴² But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ Do ye let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.

⁴⁶ And a reasoning came in amongst them, who should be the greatest of them.

⁴⁷ And Jesus, seeing the reasoning of their heart, having taken a little child set it by him,

⁴⁸ and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great.

⁴⁹ And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.

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

⁵¹ And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

⁵² And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.

⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was turned as going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And his disciples James and John seeing it said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak that fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?

⁵⁵ But turning he rebuked them and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are.

⁵⁶ And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.

⁵⁸ And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.

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

⁶⁰ But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do thou go and announce the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid adieu to those at my house.

⁶² But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.

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

³² But 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.

³³ And 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.

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

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

³⁶ And 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.

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

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

³⁹ And 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.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁴ And 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.

⁴⁵ But 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.

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

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

⁴⁸ And 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.

⁴⁹ And 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.

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

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

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

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

⁵⁴ And 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?

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

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

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

⁵⁸ Jesus 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.

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

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

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

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

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

³² But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; but becoming fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.

³³ And it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he was saying.

³⁴ Now as he said these things, a cloud appeared and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

³⁶ When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept silent, and reported to no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

³⁷ Now it happened on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that a great crowd met Him.

³⁸ And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg You, look upon my son, for he is my only child.

³⁹ And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him.

⁴⁰ So I begged Your disciples that they might cast it out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

⁴⁶ Then a dispute came up among them as to which of them might be the greatest.

⁴⁷ But Jesus, having seen the thought of their heart, taking a little child, He stood him beside Himself,

⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all shall be great.”

⁴⁹ Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”

⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹ Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, so they might prepare for Him.

⁵³ But they did not receive Him, because He was determined to go to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And when they saw this, James and John His disciples said, “Lord, do You wish that we should call down fire from heaven and consume them, as Elijah did?”

⁵⁵ But turning, He rebuked them, and said, “You do not know of what sort of spirit you are.

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”

⁵⁸ And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

⁵⁹ Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

⁶¹ And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but first permit me to say farewell to those who are at my house.”

⁶² But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

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

³² Now Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; but becoming fully awake, they saw His glory, and the two men who stood with Him.

³³ Then it happened: as they were parting from Him, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here” and “Should we make three shelters: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah?”—not knowing what he was saying.

³⁴ But as he was saying this a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they became afraid as they entered the cloud.

³⁵ And a Voice came out of the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

³⁶ When the Voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. (They kept quiet and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.)

³⁷ Now it happened on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that a large crowd met Him.

³⁸ And then, a man from the crowd called out, saying: “Teacher, I beg you, look upon my son, for he is my only begotten.

³⁹ And oh, a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams, and it convulses him with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, destroying him!

⁴⁰ And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ Then in answer Jesus said: “O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you (pl)? Bring your (sg) son here!”

⁴² But while he was still coming the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ Everyone was amazed at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, because the Son of the Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this saying; indeed it was concealed from them, in order that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

⁴⁶ Then an argument started among them as to which of them would be the greatest.

⁴⁷ So Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart, took a little child and had him stand beside Him,

⁴⁸ and said to them: “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me. Further, he who is least among all of you, he will be great.”

⁴⁹ Then John reacted by saying, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”

⁵⁰ So Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, because he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹ Now it happened, as the days for His Ascension approached, that He set His face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² and He sent messengers ahead of Him. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for Him.

⁵³ But they did not receive Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ Well, when His disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and consume them, just like Elijah did?”

⁵⁵ But He turned and rebuked them saying: “You do not know of what sort of spirit you are.

⁵⁶ Further, the Son of the Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save.” And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ Now as they journeyed on the road, it happened that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow you wherever you go.”

⁵⁸ So Jesus said to him, “The foxes have dens and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of the Man has no place to lay His head.”

⁵⁹ Then He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.”

⁶¹ And another also said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house.”

⁶² But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to ‘the plow’ and looks back is suitable for the Kingdom of God.”

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

³² Peter and the others were asleep. When they woke up they saw Jesus in his glory, and the two men standing next to him.

³³ As the two men were about to leave, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it's great to be here. Let's make some shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He really didn't know what he was saying.

³⁴ While he was speaking a cloud came and spread over them. They were terrified as they entered the cloud.

³⁵ A voice spoke from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him!”

³⁶ When the voice finished speaking, Jesus was there alone. They kept this to themselves, and didn't tell anyone at that time what they'd seen.

³⁷ The next day, when they had come down the mountain, a huge crowd was waiting to meet Jesus.

³⁸ A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, please look at my son. He's my only child.

³⁹ A spirit possesses him and he screams immediately. It sends him into convulsions and makes him foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone and it causes him a lot of pain.

⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't.”

⁴¹ “What an unbelieving and corrupt people you are! How long do I have to remain here with you, and put up with you?” said Jesus. “Bring your son here.”

⁴² Even as the boy came over, the demon sent him into convulsions, throwing him to the ground. But Jesus intervened, rebuking the evil spirit and healing the boy, and then gave him back to his father.

⁴³ Everyone was amazed at this demonstration of God's power. However, even though everyone was amazed by all he did, Jesus warned his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Listen carefully to what I'm telling you: the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they didn't understand what this meant. Its meaning was hidden from them so they didn't realize its implications, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

⁴⁶ Then an argument started among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷ But Jesus, knowing what they were arguing about, picked up and placed a small child next to him.

⁴⁸ Then he said to them, “Anyone who accepts this little child in my name accepts me, and anyone who accepts me accepts the one who sent me. Whoever is least among you all is the greatest.”

⁴⁹ John spoke up, saying, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”

⁵⁰ “Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who isn't against you is for you.”

⁵¹ As the time approached for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus was determined to go to Jerusalem.

⁵² He sent messengers on ahead to a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.

⁵³ But the people would not welcome him because he was determined to press on to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ When James and John saw this, they asked Jesus, “Master, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to burn them up?”

⁵⁵ But Jesus turned, and reprimanded them.

⁵⁶ Then they proceeded to another village.

⁵⁷ While they were walking, one man told Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go!”

⁵⁸ Jesus told the man, “Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man doesn't even have a place to rest his head.”

⁵⁹ He told another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Master, first let me go home and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ “Let the dead bury their own dead,” Jesus replied. “You go and proclaim God's kingdom.”

⁶¹ Another man said, “Lord, I will follow you! But first let me go home and say goodbye to my family.”

⁶² But Jesus told him, “Nobody once they've started plowing and then looks back is fit for God's kingdom.”

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

³² But Peter and they that were with him, were heauie with sleepe, and when they awoke, they saw his glorie, and the two men standing with him.

³³ And it came to passe, as they departed from him, Peter said vnto Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: let vs therefore make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias, and wist not what he said.

³⁴ Whiles he thus spake, there came a cloude and ouershadowed them, and they feared when they were entring into the cloude.

³⁵ And there came a voyce out of the cloud, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, heare him.

³⁶ And when the voyce was past, Iesus was found alone: and they kept it close, and tolde no man in those dayes any of those things which they had seene.

³⁷ And it came to passe on the next day, as they came downe from the mountaine, much people met him.

³⁸ And beholde, a man of the companie cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, beholde my sonne: for he is all that I haue.

³⁹ And loe, a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and he teareth him, that he fometh, and hardly departeth from him, when he hath bruised him.

⁴⁰ Nowe I haue besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not.

⁴¹ Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, howe long now shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring thy sonne hither.

⁴² And whiles he was yet comming, the deuill rent him, and tare him: and Iesus rebuked the vncleane spirite, and healed the childe, and deliuered him to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amased at the mightie power of God: and while they all wondered at al things, which Iesus did, he said vnto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Marke these wordes diligently: for it shall come to passe, that the Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men.

⁴⁵ But they vnderstood not that word: for it was hid from them, so that they could not perceiue it: and they feared to aske him of that worde.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a disputation among them, which of them should be the greatest.

⁴⁷ When Iesus sawe the thoughtes of their heartes, he tooke a litle childe, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ And said vnto them, Whosoeuer receiueth this litle childe in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer shall receiue me, receiueth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, he shall be great.

⁴⁹ And Iohn answered and saide, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils in thy Name, and we forbad him, because he followeth thee not with vs.

⁵⁰ Then Iesus saide vnto him, Forbid ye him not: for he that is not against vs, is with vs.

⁵¹ And it came to passe, when the dayes were accomplished, that he should be receiued vp, he setled himselfe fully to goe to Hierusalem,

⁵² And sent messengers before him: and they went and entred into a towne of the Samaritans, to prepare him lodging.

⁵³ But they woulde not receiue him, because his behauiour was, as though he would go to Hierusalem.

⁵⁴ And when his disciples, Iames and Iohn sawe it, they saide, Lord, wilt thou that we commaund, that fire come downe from heauen, and consume them, euen as Elias did?

⁵⁵ But Iesus turned about, and rebuked them, and said, Ye knowe not of what spirit ye are.

⁵⁶ For the Sonne of man is not come to destroy mens liues, but to saue them. Then they went to another towne.

⁵⁷ And it came to passe that as they went in the way, a certaine man said vnto him, I will follow thee, Lord, whithersoeuer thou goest.

⁵⁸ And Iesus saide vnto him, The foxes haue holes, and the birdes of the heauen nestes, but the Sonne of man hath not whereon to lay his head.

⁵⁹ But he said vnto another, Followe me. And the same said, Lord, suffer me first to goe and burie my father.

⁶⁰ And Iesus said vnto him, Let the dead burie their dead: but go thou, and preache the kingdome of God.

⁶¹ Then another saide, I will follow thee, Lord: but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at mine house.

⁶² And Iesus saide vnto him, No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh backe, is apt to the kingdome of God.

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

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

³³ And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto 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.

³⁴ While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

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

³⁶ And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

³⁷ And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.

³⁸ And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

³⁹ And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

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

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ and said unto 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 least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

⁵⁵ But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

⁵⁶ For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ And it came to pass that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

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

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

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

⁶¹ And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home in my house.

⁶² And Jesus said unto him, No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

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

³² But Peter and those who were with him were weighed down with sleep. But when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

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

³⁴ But as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

³⁵ And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is my chosen Son; hear him.”

³⁶ And when the voice had come, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret, and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

³⁷ And it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

³⁸ And lo! a man from the multitude cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child;

³⁹ and lo! a spirit seizeth him, and suddenly crieth out, and convulseth him so that he foameth, and it departeth from him hardly, taking away all his strength.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast it out, and they could not.

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

⁴² And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ As for you, let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they knew not the meaning of these words, and it was hidden from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about these words.

⁴⁶ And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus knowing the reasoning of their heart, took a child and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. For he that is least among you all, he is great.

⁴⁹ And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow in our company.

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

⁵¹ And it came to pass, when the time was near for his being received up, that he himself steadily set his face to go to Jerusalem.

⁵² And he sent messengers before him; and they went and entered a city of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was as if he were going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And the disciples James and John, on seeing it, said, Lord, wilt thou have us bid fire come down from heaven, and consume them?

⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them.

⁵⁶ And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ And as they were traveling on the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.

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

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

⁶⁰ And he said to him, Let the dead bury their own dead; but go thou and carry the tidings of the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to those who are in my house.

⁶² And Jesus said to him, No one who looketh back after putting his hand to the plough is fit for the kingdom of God.

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

³² Peter and his companions had been overpowered by sleep but, suddenly becoming wide awake, they saw Jesus glorified and the two men who were standing beside him.

³³ And, as Moses and Elijah were passing away from Jesus, Peter exclaimed, “Sir, it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He did not know what he was saying;

³⁴ and, while he was speaking, a cloud came down and enveloped them; and they were afraid, as they passed into the cloud;

³⁵ and from the cloud came a voice which said — “This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear.”

³⁶ And, as the voice ceased, Jesus was found alone. The apostles kept silence, and told no one about any of the things that they had seen.

³⁷ The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.

³⁸ And just then a man in the crowd shouted out, “Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;

³⁹ all at once a spirit will seize him, suddenly shriek out, and throw him into convulsions until he foams, and will leave him only when he is utterly exhausted.

⁴⁰ I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ “Faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus exclaimed; “how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here.”

⁴² While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And all present were struck with awe at the majesty of God. In the midst of the general astonishment at all that Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men.”

⁴⁵ But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.

⁴⁶ A discussion arose amongst the disciples as to which of them was the greatest;

⁴⁷ and Jesus, knowing of the discussion that was occupying their thoughts, took hold of a little child, and placed it beside him,

⁴⁸ and then said to them, “Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his messenger. For whoever is least amongst you all — that person is great.”

⁴⁹ John said, “Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us.”

⁵⁰ “None of you must prevent him,” Jesus said to John; “whoever's not against you is for you.”

⁵¹ As the days before his being taken up to heaven were growing few, Jesus set his face resolutely in the direction of Jerusalem; and he sent on messengers in advance.

⁵² On their way, they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him,

⁵³ but the people there did not welcome him, because his face was set in the direction of Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ When James and John saw this, they said, “Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and consume them?”

⁵⁵ But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

⁵⁶ And they made their way to another village.

⁵⁷ And, while they were on their way, a man said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

⁵⁸ “Foxes have holes,” he replied, “and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

⁵⁹ To another man Jesus said, “Follow me.” “Let me first go and bury my father,” said the man.

⁶⁰ But Jesus said, “Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go yourself and carry far and wide the news of the kingdom of God.”

⁶¹ “Master,” said another, “I will follow you; but first let me say goodbye to my family.”

⁶² But Jesus answered, “No one who looks back, after putting their hand to the plough, is fitted for the kingdom of God.”

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

⁶¹ “Master,” said another, “I will follow you; but first let me say goodbye to my family.”

⁶² But Jesus answered, “No one who looks back, after putting their hand to the plow, is fitted for the kingdom of God.”

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

³² Now Peter Rock and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³ As they were parting from him, Peter Rock said to Yeshua Salvation, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses Drawn out, and one for Elijah My God Yah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴ While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶ When the voice came, Yeshua Salvation was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷ On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

³⁸ Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

³⁹ Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

⁴¹ Yeshua Salvation answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Yeshua Salvation rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Yeshua Salvation did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶ There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷ Yeshua Salvation, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁹ John Yah is gracious answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.”

⁵⁰ Yeshua Salvation said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹ It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem City of peace,

⁵² and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans people from Watch-mountain, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³ They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem City of peace.

⁵⁴ When his disciples, James Surplanter and John Yah is gracious, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah My God Yah did?”

⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

⁵⁷ As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁸ Yeshua Salvation said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁹ He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ But Yeshua Salvation said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

⁶¹ Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶² But Yeshua Salvation said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

⁵¹ The time was soon coming for Jesus to go back to heaven, and he knew that, so he started to go to Jerusalem city. He wasn’t going to let anything stop him.

⁵² He walked along the road, and he was getting close to a community in Samaria country, so he sent some messengers ahead of him to ask the people there for a place to camp that night.

⁵³ But the people in that community said, “No. He is going to Jerusalem. We don’t like that Jerusalem mob, so he is not our friend. He can’t camp here tonight.”

⁵⁴ James and John, 2 of his close followers, heard what they said, and those 2 said to Jesus, “Can we ask God to send fire down from the sky and kill all those people? Do you want us to do that?”

⁵⁵ Jesus turned around and said, “No. That is very wrong. Don’t do it.”

⁵⁶ Then they all went on to another community.

⁵⁷ As they walked along the road, a man said to Jesus, “I want to be one of your followers. I will go everywhere with you.”

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him, “Wild dogs have places where they can sleep, and birds have nests to rest in. But I have no home to lie down and sleep in, even though I’m God’s special man from heaven.”

⁵⁹ And Jesus said to another man, “Come and follow me.” That man said, “All right, I will come with you. But my father has died, so let me go home to bury him. After that, I will come with you.”

⁶⁰ Jesus said to him, “Some people don’t want me. It is like they are dead to me. So those people can bury the dead bodies of their own people. But you come and follow me.”

⁶¹ Another man said to Jesus, “Yes Sir, I will follow you, but first I want to go back home and say goodbye to all my family.”

⁶² Jesus said, “Don’t think about going back. It’s like a man that is driving something, he has to look ahead, not backwards. Well, you are like that man. You have to follow me and look at me. If you look back, like you think about the things you left behind, you are not the right person to join God’s family.”

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

³² Peter and they that were with him were hevy with slepe. And when they woke they sawe his glorie and two men stondinge with him.

³³ And it chaunsed as they departed from him Peter sayde vnto Iesus: Master it is good beinge here for vs. Let vs make thre tabernacles one for the and one for Moses and one for Helyas: and wist not what he sayde.

³⁴ Whyll he thus spake ther came a cloude and shadowed them: and they feared when they were come vnder the cloude.

³⁵ And ther came a voyce out of the cloude sayinge: This is my deare sonne heare him.

³⁶ And assone as the voyce was past Iesus was founde alone. And they kept it cloose and tolde noo man in thoose dayes eny of those thinges which they had sene.

³⁷ And it chaunsed on the nexte daye as they came doune from the hyll moche people met him.

³⁸ And beholde a man of the company cryed out sayinge: Master I beseche the beholde my sonne for he is all that I have:

³⁹ and se a sprete taketh him and sodenly he cryeth and he teareth him that he fometh agayne and with moche payne departeth from him when he hath rent him

⁴⁰ and I besought thy disciples to cast him out and they coulde not.

⁴¹ Iesus answered and sayde: O generacion with oute fayth and croked: how longe shall I be with you? and shall suffre you? Bringe thy sonne hidder.

⁴² As he yet was a cominge the fende ret him and tare him. And Iesus rebuked the vnclene sprete and healed the childe and delivered him to his father. And they were all amased at the mighty power of God.

⁴³ Whyll they wondred every one at all thinges which he dyd he sayd vnto his disciples:

⁴⁴ Let these sayinges synke doune into youre eares. The tyme will come when the sonne of man shalbe delivered into the hondes of men.

⁴⁵ But they wist not what that worde meant and that was hyd from the that they vnderstode that not. And they feared to axe him of that sayinge.

⁴⁶ Then ther arose a disputacion amonge the: who shuld be the greatest.

⁴⁷ When Iesus perceaved the thoughtes of their hertes he toke a chylde and set him hard by him

⁴⁸ and sayd vnto the: Whosoever receaveth this chylde in my name receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me receaveth him that sent me. For he that is least amonge you all the same shalbe greate.

⁴⁹ And Iohn answered and sayde: Master we sawe one castinge out devyls in thy name and we forbade him because he foloweth not with vs.

⁵⁰ And Iesus sayde vnto him: forbyd ye him not. For he that is not agaynst vs is with vs.

⁵¹ And it folowed when the tyme was come that he shulde be receaved vp then he set his face to goo to Hierusalem

⁵² and sent messengers before him. And they went and entred into a citie of the Samaritans to make redy for him.

⁵³ But they wolde not receave him be cause his face was as though he wolde goo to Ierusalem.

⁵⁴ When his disciples Iames and Iohn sawe that they sayde: Lorde wilt thou that we commaunde that fyre come doune from heven and consume them even as Helias dyd?

⁵⁵ Iesus turned about and rebuked them sayinge: ye wote not what maner sprete ye are of.

⁵⁶ The sonne of man ys not come to destroye mennes lives but to save them. And they went to another toune.

⁵⁷ And it chaunsed as he went in the waye a certayne man sayd vnto him: I will folowe the whither soever thou goo.

⁵⁸ Iesus sayd vnto him: foxes have holes and bryddes of the ayer have nestes: but the sonne of man hath not where on to laye his heed.

⁵⁹ And he sayde vnto another: folowe me. And the same sayde: Lorde suffre me fyrst to goo and bury my father.

⁶⁰ Iesus sayd vnto him: Let the deed bury their deed: but goo thou and preache the kyngdome of God.

⁶¹ And another sayde: I wyll folowe the Lorde: but let me fyrst goo byd them fare well which are at home at my housse.

⁶² Iesus sayde vnto him: No man that putteth his honde to the plowe and loketh backe is apte to the kyngdome of God.

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

³² Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.

³³ As they were going away from Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

³⁴ As he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the one who is chosen; listen to him.”

³⁶ When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

³⁷ Now on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

³⁸ Behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

³⁹ You see, a spirit takes control over him and he suddenly screams; it causes him to have convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him and it bruises him badly.

⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to force it out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and depraved generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² While the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ Then they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While they all were marveling at everything he was doing, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Let these words go deeply into your ears: The Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this statement. It was hidden from them, so they could not know its meaning, and yet they were afraid to ask about this statement.

⁴⁶ Then an argument started among them about which of them would be the greatest.

⁴⁷ But Jesus, knowing the reasoning in their hearts, took a little child and put him by his side

⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. For whoever is least among you all is the one who is great.”

⁴⁹ John answered, “Master, we saw someone forcing out demons in your name and we prevented him, because he does not follow along with us.”

⁵⁰ “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “because whoever is not against you is for you.”

⁵¹ When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.

⁵² He sent messengers on ahead of him, and they went and entered into a Samaritan village to prepare everything for him.

⁵³ But the people there did not welcome him, because he had set his face to go to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them?”

⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them,

⁵⁶ and they went on to another village.

⁵⁷ As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

⁵⁹ Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim far and wide the kingdom of God.”

⁶¹ Then someone else said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to those in my home.”

⁶² Jesus replied to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

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

³² Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³ As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴ While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶ When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷ On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

³⁸ Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.

³⁹ Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

⁴¹ Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶ An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷ Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁹ John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹ It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem

⁵² and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³ They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

⁵⁷ As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁹ He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

⁶¹ Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶² But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

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

³² Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³ As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴ While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶ When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷ On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

⁵⁹ He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

⁶¹ Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶² But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

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

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

³³ And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said 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 Elijah: not knowing what he said.

³⁴ While he was thus speaking, there came a cloud and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

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

³⁶ And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

³⁷ And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met him.

³⁸ And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son: for he is my only child.

³⁹ And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him.

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

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

⁴² And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him . And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

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

⁵¹ And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² And sent messengers before his face: and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And when his disciples James and John saw this , they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?

⁵⁵ But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

⁵⁶ For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them . And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ And it came to pass, that as they were going in the way, a certain man said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

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

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

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

⁶¹ And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.

⁶² And Jesus said to him, No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

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

³² Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³ As they were parting from him, Peter said to Yeshua, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴ While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶ When the voice came, Yeshua was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

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

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

³³ And it was done, when they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Commander, it is good that we be here, and make we here three tabernacles, one to thee, and one to Moses, and one to Elijah. And he knew not what he should say.

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

³⁵ And a voice was made out of the cloud, and said, This is my dear-worthy Son, hear ye him.

³⁶ And while the voice was made, Jesus was found alone. And they were still, and to no man said in those days any of those things, that they had seen, or they held peace, and said to no man in those days aught of those things that they had seen.

³⁷ But it was done in the day pursuing, when they came down of the hill, much people met them.

³⁸ And lo! a man of the company cried, and said, Master, I beseech thee, behold my son, for I have no more;

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

⁴⁰ And I prayed thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they might not.

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

⁴² And when he came nigh, the devil hurtled him down, and wrenched him. And Jesus blamed the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and yielded him to his father.

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

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

⁴⁵ And they knew not this word, and it was hid before them, that they feeled it not; and they dreaded to ask him of this word.

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

⁴⁷ And Jesus, seeing the thoughts of the heart of them, took a child, and setted him beside him;

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

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Commander, we saw a man casting out fiends in thy name, and we have forbidden him, for he pursueth not thee with us.

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

⁵¹ And it was done, when the days of his taking up were fulfilled, he set fast his face, to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² and sent messengers before his sight. And they went, and entered into a city of Samaritans, to make ready to him.

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

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

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

⁵⁶ for man’s Son came not to lose men’s souls, but to save them. And they went into another castle.

⁵⁷ And it was done, when they walked in the way, a man said to him, I shall pursue thee, whither ever thou shalt go.

⁵⁸ And Jesus said to him, Foxes have dens or ditches, and birds of the air have nests, but man’s Son hath not where he shall rest his head.

⁵⁹ And he said to another, Pursue thou me. And he said, Lord, suffer me first to go, and bury my father.

⁶⁰ And Jesus said to him, Suffer that dead men bury their dead men; but go thou, and tell the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another said, Lord, I shall pursue thee, but first suffer me to leave all things or to tell to them that be at home.

⁶² And Jesus said to him, No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and beholding backward, is able to the kingdom of God.

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.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁵⁶ for man’s Son came not to lose men’s souls, but to save them. And they went into another castle. (for man’s Son came not to destroy men’s souls, but to savethem. And so they went to another village.)

⁵⁷ And it was done, when they walked in the way, a man said to him, I shall (pur)sue thee, whither ever thou shalt go. (And it was done, when they walked on the way, a man said to him, I shall follow thee, wherever thou shalt go.)

⁵⁸ And Jesus said to him, Foxes have dens or ditches, and (the) birds of the air have nests, but man’s Son hath not where he shall rest his head.

⁵⁹ And he said to another, (Pur)Sue thou me. And he said, Lord, suffer me first to go, and bury my father. (And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, first allow me to go, and bury my father.)

⁶⁰ And Jesus said to him, Suffer that dead men bury their dead men; but go thou, and tell (everyone about) the kingdom of God. (And Jesus said to him, Allow the dead to bury their dead; but thou go, and tell everyone about the Kingdom of God.)

⁶¹ And another said, Lord, I shall (pur)sue thee, but first suffer me to leave (in peace) all things that be at home or but first suffer me to tell to them that be at home. (And another said, Lord, I shall follow thee, but first allow me to say good-bye to all who be at home.)

⁶² And Jesus said to him, No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and beholding backward, is able to the kingdom of God. (And Jesus said to him, No man who putteth his hand to the plow, and looking backward, is fit for the Kingdom of God.)

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

³² And Petre, and thei that weren with hym, weren heuy of sleep, and thei wakynge saien his majeste, and the twey men that stoden with hym.

³³ And it was don, whanne thei departiden fro hym, Petir seide to Jhesu, Comaundour, it is good that we be here, and make we here thre tabernaclis, oon to thee, and oon to Moises, and oon to Elie. And he wiste not what he schulde seie.

³⁴ But while he spak these thingis, a cloude was maad, and ouerschadewide hem; and thei dredden, whanne thei entriden in to the cloude.

³⁵ And a vois was maad out of the cloude, and seide, This is my derworth sone, here ye hym.

³⁶ And while the vois was maad, Jhesu was foundun aloone. And thei weren stille, and to no man seiden in tho daies ouyt of tho thingis, that thei hadden seyn.

³⁷ But it was doon in the dai suynge, whanne thei camen doun of the hil, myche puple mette hem.

³⁸ And lo! a man of the cumpany criede, and seide, Maister, Y biseche thee, biholde my sone, for Y haue no mo; and lo!

³⁹ a spirit takith hym, and sudenli he crieth, and hurtlith doun, and to-drawith hym with fome, and vnneth he goith awei al to-drawynge hym.

⁴⁰ And Y preiede thi disciplis, that thei schulden caste hym out, and thei myyten not.

⁴¹ And Jhesus answerde and seide to hem, A! vnfeithful generacioun and weiward, hou long schal Y be at you, and suffre you? brynge hidur thi sone.

⁴² And whanne he cam nyy, the deuel hurtlide hym doun, and to-braidide hym. And Jhesus blamyde `the vnclene spirit, and heelide the child, and yeldide him to his fadir.

⁴³ And alle men wondriden greetli in the gretnesse of God. And whanne alle men wondriden in alle thingis that he dide, he seide to hise disciplis,

⁴⁴ Putte ye these wordis in youre hertis, for it is to come, that mannus sone be bitrayed in to the hondis of men.

⁴⁵ And thei knewen not this word, and it was hid bifor hem, that thei feeliden it not; and thei dredden to axe hym of this word.

⁴⁶ But a thouyt entride in to hem, who of hem schulde be grettest.

⁴⁷ And Jhesu, seynge the thouytis of the herte of hem, took a child, and settide hym bisidis hym;

⁴⁸ and seide to hem, Who euer resseyueth this child in my name, resseyueth me; and who euer resseyueth me, resseiueth him that sente me; for he that is leest among you alle, is the grettest.

⁴⁹ And Joon answeride and seide, Comaundoure, we sayn a man castynge out feendis in thi name, and we han forbedun hym, for he sueth not thee with vs.

⁵⁰ And Jhesus seide to hym, Nyle ye forbede, for he that is not ayens vs, is for vs.

⁵¹ And it was don, whanne the daies of his takyng vp weren fulfillid, he settide faste his face, to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² and sente messangeris bifor his siyt. And thei yeden, and entriden in to a citee of Samaritans, to make redi to hym.

⁵³ And thei resseyueden not hym, for the face `was of hym goynge in to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And whanne James and Joon, hise disciplis, seyn, thei seiden, Lord, wolt thou that we seien, that fier come doun fro heuene, and waste hem?

⁵⁵ And he turnede, and blamyde hem, and seide, Ye witen not, whos spiritis ye ben;

⁵⁶ for mannus sone cam not to leese mennus soulis, but to saue. And thei wenten in to another castel.

⁵⁷ And it was don, whanne thei walkeden in the weie, a man seide to hym, Y schal sue thee, whidur euer thou go.

⁵⁸ And Jhesus seide to hym, Foxis han dennes, and briddis of the eir han nestis, but mannus sone hath not where he reste his heed.

⁵⁹ And he seide to another, Sue thou me. And he seide, Lord, suffre me first to go, and birie my fadir.

⁶⁰ And Jhesus seide to hym, Suffre that deede men birie hir deede men; but go thou, and telle the kyngdom of God.

⁶¹ And another seide, Lord, Y schal sue thee, but first suffre me to leeue `alle thingis that ben at hoom.

⁶² And Jhesus seide to hym, No man that puttith his hoond to the plouy, and biholdynge bacward, is able to the rewme of God.

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

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

³³ And 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:

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

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

³⁶ and 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.

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

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

³⁹ and 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,

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

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

⁴² and 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.

⁴³ And 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.'

⁴⁵ And 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.

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

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

⁴⁸ and 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.'

⁴⁹ And 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;'

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

⁵¹ And 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,

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

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

⁵⁴ And 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?'

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

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

⁵⁷ And 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;'

⁵⁸ and 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.'

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

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

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

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