Luke 9

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.	1 And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.	2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal.
3 And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey; neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.	3 And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.
4 And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there, and depart not from thence.	4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.	5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them."
6 And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.	6 And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
7 Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in a doubt, because it was said	7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,
8 By some, that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.	8 by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen.
9 And Herod said: John I have beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.	9 Herod said, "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he sought to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.	10 On their return the apostles told him what they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a city called Beth-saida.
11 Which when the people knew, they followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them who had need of healing.	11 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.
12 Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.	12 Now the day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away, to go into the villages and country round about, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a lonely place."
13 But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this multitude.	13 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."
14 Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.	14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each."
15 And they did so; and made them all sit down.	15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them; and he broke, and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.	16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 And they did all eat, and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.	17 And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am?	18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"
19 But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.	19 And they answered, "John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen."
20 And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God.	20 And he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
21 But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man.	21 But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day rise again.	22 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."
23 And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.	23 And he said to all, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; for he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it.	24 For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, and cast away himself?	25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?
26 For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.	26 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.
27 But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.	27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."
28 And it came to pass about eight days after these words, that he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.	28 Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.
29 And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glittering.	29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white.
30 And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,	30 And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Elijah,
31 Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.	31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at 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.	32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, and when they wakened they saw his glory and the two men who 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.	33 And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah"--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.	34 As he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.	35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to 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.	36 And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what 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.	37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
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.	38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried, "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son, for he is my only child;
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.	39 and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him till he foams, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.
40 And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.	40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but 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.	41 Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."
42 And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down, and tore him.	42 While he was coming, the demon tore him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to his father.	43 And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he did, he said to his disciples,
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.	44 "Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is to 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.	45 But they did not understand 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 entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.	46 And an argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest.
47 But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,	47 But when Jesus perceived the thought of their hearts, he took a child and put him by his side,
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.	48 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."
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.	49 John answered, "Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."
50 And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.	50 But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him; 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.	51 When the days drew near for him to be received up, he 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.	52 And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him;
53 And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.	53 but the people would not receive him, because his face was set toward 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?	54 And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, "Lord, do you want us to bid fire come down from heaven and consume them?"
55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.	55 But he turned and rebuked them.
56 The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.	56 And they went on to another village.
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.	57 As they were going along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
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.	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 But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go, and to bury my father.	59 To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."
60 And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.	60 But he said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim 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.	61 Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."
62 Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.	62 Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
