	MACE Mace New Testament	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	After this he assembled the twelve apostles, and gave them authority over all sorts of demons, and the power of curing all diseases:	And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,	When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases,
2	then sent them to proclaim the reign of the Messiah, and to heal the sick.	and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.	and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3	and he said to them make no provision for your journey: take neither staff, nor sack, nor bread, nor money; and but one coat for each.	And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.	He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.
4	when you are lodg'd in any house, there stay, till you leave the place.	And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.	Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town.
5	if any refuse to entertain you, when you leave that city, shake off the dust from your feet, as a sign of their being abandon'd.	And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”	If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”
6	accordingly they departed, and travell'd thro' the towns, preaching the gospel, and performing cures every where.	And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.	So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
7	Now Herod the tetrarch was inform'd of all his transactions: and was perplex'd at the relation of some, that John was risen from the dead: whilst others said, Elias appear'd:	Now 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,	Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead,
8	and others, that one of the old prophets was come to life again.	by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen.	others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.
9	but Herod said, John was beheaded by my order, who then can this be, who, they say, performs such strange things? and he desired to have a sight of Jesus.	Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.	But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.
10	The Apostles, upon their return to Jesus, acquainted him with what they had done, and taking them with him, he retired into a desart place over-against the city of Bethsaida:	On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida.	When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,
11	where the people, who were inform'd of it, followed him: which he did not discountenance, but explained to them the reign of the Messiah, and relieved those, who wanted to be cured.	When 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.	but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
12	As the day began to decline, the twelve came to him, and said, dismiss the multitude, that they may go to the nearest towns and villages for lodging and provisions: for here we are in a desart place.	Now 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.”	Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
13	and he said to them, do you yourselves give them something to eat, they replied, we can furnish only five loaves and two fishes, unless we go and buy provisions for all this people:	But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.”	He replied, “You give them something to eat.” They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.”
14	for they were about five thousand, but Jesus said to his disciples, make them sit down by fifties in a company.	For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”	(About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15	accordingly they ranged them, and made them all sit down.	And they did so, and had them all sit down.	The disciples did so, and everyone sat down.
16	then he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he ask'd blessing: then divided them, and gave them to his disciples to be distributed among the people:	And 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.	Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people.
17	and tho' they all eat sufficiently, there was a surplusage of twelve baskets full of fragments carried away.	And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.	They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
18	One day having retired alone to prayer, he came to his disciples, and ask'd them, saying, whom do the people judge me to be?	Now 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?”	Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19	they answered, some say you are John the Baptist: others, Elias: and others, that you are one of the old prophets appearing again.	And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.”	They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”
20	but who, said he, do you think I am? Peter answered, you are the Messiah of God.	Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”	“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”
21	however, Jesus strictly charged them not to say so much to any body; adding,	And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,	Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
22	the son of man must suffer many indignities: be rejected by the rulers, the chief priests, and Scribes: be put to death: and the third day be raised again.	saying, “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.”	And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”
23	Then he said to the whole company, if any one will be my follower, let him renounce himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.	And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.	Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
24	for whoever would save his life, shall lose it: and he that would lose his life, out of love to me, shall save it.	For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.	For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
25	what advantage is it for a man to have gain'd the whole world, if he himself runs into utter loss and ruin?	For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?	What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?
26	for whoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my doctrine, of him shall the son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in the glory of his father, and of the holy angels.	For 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.	Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
27	I declare unto you, there are some here present, who shall not die, till they see the Messiah reign.	But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”	“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
28	About eight days after this discourse, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up a mountain to pray.	Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.	About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.
29	as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was quite chang'd, and his raiment was of a splendid white:	And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white.	As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.
30	two persons of a glorious form were seen talking with him; they were Moses, and Elias,	And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,	Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus.
31	who discours'd about the exit, he was to make at Jerusalem;	who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.	They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.
32	while Peter, and the others with him, were overwhelm'd with sleep: but when they wak'd, they observed his glory, and the two persons present with him,	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 stood with him.	Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
33	who were just departing from him, when Peter said to Jesus, master, it is best for us to stay here: let us build three apartments, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing well what he said.	And 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.	As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34	while he was speaking, there came a cloud and over-shadowed them, who were seized with fear, at their vanishing in the cloud,	As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.	While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35	from whence a voice issued out, saying, "this is my beloved son, obey him."	And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!”	A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.”
36	and before the sound was gone, Jesus was left alone: this they kept secret, and for some time did not acquaint any one in the least with what they had seen.	And 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.	When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.
37	The next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a multitude of people happen'd to meet him:	On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.	The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
38	when one of the company cry'd out, master, I beseech you, cast your eyes upon my son, for he is my only child:	And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.	A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39	he is frequently seized by a spirit, which makes him immediately roar, then throws him into convulsions with foaming, and never leaves him, but with difficulty and bruises.	And 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.	A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.
40	I desired your disciples to cast out this spirit; but they were not able.	And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”	I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”
41	then said Jesus, O incredulous, and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring hither your son.	Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”	“You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42	as the child was advancing, the demon threw him down, into convulsions: but Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, cured the child, and delivered him to his father.	While 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.	Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father.
43	and all the people were astonished at such an instance of divine power: and as they were admiring whatever Jesus did, he said to his disciples,	And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples,	And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44	give attention to what I now say, namely, that the son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men.	“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”	“Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”
45	but they did not comprehend that expression: it was as a riddle, which they could not understand, and they were afraid to desire him to explain the meaning of that expression.	But 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.	But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46	At length they enter'd into a debate, which of them should be the greatest.	An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest.	An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
47	but Jesus perceiving what they thought, took a child and set him before him: then said to them,	But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side	Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.
48	whoever receives such a child in my name, receives me: and he that receives me, receives him that sent me, for he that is least among you all, he shall be greatest.	and 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.”	Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”
49	Then said John to Jesus, master, we saw one casting out demons in your name, and we oppos'd it, because he does not follow you with us.	John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.”	“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
50	but Jesus said to him, don't oppose it: for he that is not against us, is for us.	But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you.”	“Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
51	Now the time of his assumption drawing nigh, he was fix'd in his resolution to go to Jerusalem:	When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.	As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
52	and he sent messengers before, who went to a town of the Samaritans, to prepare a lodging for him.	And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him.	And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him;
53	but they would not entertain him, because he appear'd to them, as if he was going to Jerusalem.	But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.	but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem.
54	his disciples James and John observing this, said, Lord, shall we command fire to descend from heaven, as Elias did, in order to consume them?	And 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?”	When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?”
55	but Jesus turn'd, and rebuked them, saying, you don't know by what spirit you are moved.	But he turned and rebuked them.	But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56	for the son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them, and they went to another village.	And they went on to another village.	Then he and his disciples went to another village.
57	At another time, as they were walking in the road, a man said to him, I will be your follower, wherever you go.	As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”	As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58	Jesus answered him, foxes have their kennels, and birds of the air their nests, but the son of man hath not where to lay his head.	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.”	Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
59	Then he said to another, follow me: but he replied, Lord, let me stay first, till I bury my father.	To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”	He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60	Jesus said to him, let the dead bury their dead; but do you go and preach the kingdom of God.	And Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”	Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61	another likewise said, I will be your follower; but let me first go home, and settle the affairs of my family.	Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.”	Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”
62	Jesus answered him, whoever puts his hand to the plough, and looks back, is not fit to be employ'd in the kingdom of God.	Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”	Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
