[an error occurred while processing this directive]English Standard Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.”
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.”
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15And they did so, and had them all sit down.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.”
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32Now 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 stood with him.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!”
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
42[an error occurred while processing this directive]42While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43[an error occurred while processing this directive]43And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples,
44[an error occurred while processing this directive]44“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”
45[an error occurred while processing this directive]45But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46[an error occurred while processing this directive]46An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest.
47[an error occurred while processing this directive]47But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side
48[an error occurred while processing this directive]48and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”
49[an error occurred while processing this directive]49John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.”
50[an error occurred while processing this directive]50But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you.”
51[an error occurred while processing this directive]51When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52[an error occurred while processing this directive]52And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him.
53[an error occurred while processing this directive]53But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.
54[an error occurred while processing this directive]54And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”
55[an error occurred while processing this directive]55But he turned and rebuked them.
56[an error occurred while processing this directive]56And they went on to another village.
57[an error occurred while processing this directive]57As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58[an error occurred while processing this directive]58And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive]59To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
60[an error occurred while processing this directive]60And Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61[an error occurred while processing this directive]61Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.”
62[an error occurred while processing this directive]62Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
