Lucas 9

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Convocatis autem duodecim Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia dæmonia, et ut languores curarent.	1 He summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,
2 Et misit illos prædicare regnum Dei, et sanare infirmos.	2 and he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal (the sick).
3 Et ait ad illos : Nihil tuleritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, neque panem, neque pecuniam, neque duas tunicas habeatis.	3 He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic.
4 Et in quamcumque domum intraveritis, ibi manete, et inde ne exeatis.	4 Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there.
5 Et quicumque non receperint vos : exeuntes de civitate illa, etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos.	5 And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them."
6 Egressi autem circuibant per castella evangelizantes, et curantes ubique.	6 Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and curing diseases everywhere.
7 Audivit autem Herodes tetrarcha omnia quæ fiebant ab eo, et hæsitabat eo quod diceretur	7 Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed because some were saying, "John has been raised from the dead";
8 a quibusdam : Quia Joannes surrexit a mortuis : a quibusdam vero : Quia Elias apparuit : ab aliis autem : Quia propheta unus de antiquis surrexit.	8 others were saying, "Elijah has appeared"; still others, "One of the ancient prophets has arisen."
9 Et ait Herodes : Joannem ego decollavi : quis est autem iste, de quo ego talia audio ? Et quærebat videre eum.	9 But Herod said, "John I beheaded. Who then is this about whom I hear such things?" And he kept trying to see him.
10 Et reversi Apostoli, narraverunt illi quæcumque fecerunt : et assumptis illis secessit seorsum in locum desertum, qui est Bethsaidæ.	10 When the apostles returned, they explained to him what they had done. He took them and withdrew in private to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Quod cum cognovissent turbæ, secutæ sunt illum : et excepit eos, et loquebatur illis de regno Dei, et eos, qui cura indigebant, sanabat.	11 The crowds, meanwhile, learned of this and followed him. He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured.
12 Dies autem cœperat declinare, et accedentes duodecim dixerunt illi : Dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella villasque quæ circa sunt, divertant, et inveniant escas : quia hic in loco deserto sumus.	12 As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached him and said, "Dismiss the crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."
13 Ait autem ad illos : Vos date illis manducare. At illi dixerunt : Non sunt nobis plus quam quinque panes et duo pisces : nisi forte nos eamus, et emamus in omnem hanc turbam escas.	13 He said to them, "Give them some food yourselves." They replied, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people."
14 Erant autem fere viri quinque millia. Ait autem ad discipulos suos : Facite illos discumbere per convivia quinquagenos.	14 Now the men there numbered about five thousand. Then he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of (about) fifty."
15 Et ita fecerunt : et discumbere fecerunt omnes.	15 They did so and made them all sit down.
16 Acceptis autem quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, respexit in cælum, et benedixit illis : et fregit, et distribuit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante turbas.	16 Then taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing over them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et sublatum est quod superfuit illis, fragmentorum cophini duodecim.	17 They all ate and were satisfied. And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.
18 Et factum est cum solus esset orans, erant cum illo et discipuli : et interrogavit illos, dicens : Quem me dicunt esse turbæ ?	18 Once when Jesus was praying in solitude, and the disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
19 At illi responderunt, et dixerunt : Joannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero quia unus propheta de prioribus surrexit.	19 They said in reply, "John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, 'One of the ancient prophets has arisen.'"
20 Dixit autem illis : Vos autem quem me esse dicitis ? Respondens Simon Petrus, dixit : Christum Dei.	20 Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter said in reply, "The Messiah of God."
21 At ille increpans illos, præcepit ne cui dicerent hoc,	21 He rebuked them and directed them not to tell this to anyone.
22 dicens : Quia oportet Filium hominis multa pati, et reprobari a senioribus, et principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere.	22 He said, "The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised."
23 Dicebat autem ad omnes : Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam quotidie, et sequatur me.	23 Then he said to all, "If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
24 Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam : nam qui perdiderit animam suam propter me, salvam faciet illam.	24 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
25 Quid enim proficit homo, si lucretur universum mundum, se autem ipsum perdat, et detrimentum sui faciat ?	25 What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself?
26 Nam qui me erubuerit, et meos sermones : hunc Filius hominis erubescet cum venerit in majestate sua, et Patris, et sanctorum angelorum.	26 Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
27 Dico autem vobis vere : sunt aliqui hic stantes, qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei.	27 Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."
28 Factum est autem post hæc verba fere dies octo, et assumpsit Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et ascendit in montem ut oraret.	28 About eight days after he said this, he took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray.
29 Et facta est, dum oraret, species vultus ejus altera : et vestitus ejus albus et refulgens.	29 While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white.
30 Et ecce duo viri loquebantur cum illo. Erant autem Moyses et Elias,	30 And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,
31 visi in majestate : et dicebant excessum ejus, quem completurus erat in Jerusalem.	31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 Petrus vero, et qui cum illo erant, gravati erant somno. Et evigilantes viderunt majestatem ejus, et duos viros qui stabant cum illo.	32 Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
33 Et factum est cum discederent ab illo, ait Petrus ad Jesum : Præceptor, bonum est nos hic esse : et faciamus tria tabernacula, unum tibi, et unum Moysi, et unum Eliæ : nesciens quid diceret.	33 As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." But he did not know what he was saying.
34 Hæc autem illo loquente, facta est nubes, et obumbravit eos : et timuerunt, intrantibus illis in nubem.	34 While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud.
35 Et vox facta est de nube, dicens : Hic est Filius meus dilectus, ipsum audite.	35 Then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my chosen Son; listen to him."
36 Et dum fieret vox, inventus est Jesus solus. Et ipsi tacuerunt, et nemini dixerunt in illis diebus quidquam ex his quæ viderant.	36 After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen.
37 Factum est autem in sequenti die, descendentibus illis de monte, occurrit illis turba multa.	37 On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
38 Et ecce vir de turba exclamavit, dicens : Magister, obsecro te, respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi :	38 There was a man in the crowd who cried out, "Teacher, I beg you, look at my son; he is my only child.
39 et ecce spiritus apprehendit eum, et subito clamat, et elidit, et dissipat eum cum spuma, et vix discedit dilanians eum :	39 For a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams and it convulses him until he foams at the mouth; it releases him only with difficulty, wearing him out.
40 et rogavi discipulos tuos ut ejicerent illum, et non potuerunt.	40 I begged your disciples to cast it out but they could not."
41 Respondens autem Jesus, dixit : O generatio infidelis, et perversa, usquequo ero apud vos, et patiar vos ? adduc huc filium tuum.	41 Jesus said in reply, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here."
42 Et cum accederet, elisit illum dæmonium, et dissipavit.	42 As he was coming forward, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and returned him to his father.
43 Et increpavit Jesus spiritum immundum, et sanavit puerum, et reddidit illum patri ejus.	43 And all were astonished by the majesty of God. While they were all amazed at his every deed, he said to his disciples,
44 Stupebant autem omnes in magnitudine Dei : omnibusque mirantibus in omnibus quæ faciebat, dixit ad discipulos suos : Ponite vos in cordibus vestris sermones istos : Filius enim hominis futurum est ut tradatur in manus hominum.	44 "Pay attention to what I am telling you. The Son of Man is to be handed over to men."
45 At illi ignorabant verbum istud, et erat velatum ante eos ut non sentirent illud : et timebant eum interrogare de hoc verbo.	45 But they did not understand this saying; its meaning was hidden from them so that they should not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Intravit autem cogitatio in eos quis eorum major esset.	46 An argument arose among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.
47 At Jesus videns cogitationes cordis illorum, apprehendit puerum, et statuit illum secus se,	47 Jesus realized the intention of their hearts and took a child and placed it by his side
48 et ait illis : Quicumque susceperit puerum istum in nomine meo, me recipit : et quicumque me receperit, recipit eum qui me misit. Nam qui minor est inter vos omnes, hic major est.	48 and said to them, "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. For the one who is least among all of you is the one who is the greatest."
49 Respondens autem Joannes dixit : Præceptor, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo ejicientem dæmonia, et prohibuimus eum : quia non sequitur nobiscum.	49 Then John said in reply, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow in our company."
50 Et ait ad illum Jesus : Nolite prohibere : qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.	50 Jesus said to him, "Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you."
51 Factum est autem dum complerentur dies assumptionis ejus, et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret in Jerusalem.	51 When the days for his being taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem,
52 Et misit nuntios ante conspectum suum : et euntes intraverunt in civitatem Samaritanorum ut parerent illi.	52 and he sent messengers ahead of him. On the way they entered a Samaritan village to prepare for his reception there,
53 Et non receperunt eum, quia facies ejus erat euntis in Jerusalem.	53 but they would not welcome him because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem.
54 Cum vidissent autem discipuli ejus Jacobus et Joannes, dixerunt : Domine, vis dicimus ut ignis descendat de cælo, et consumat illos ?	54 When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?"
55 Et conversus increpavit illos, dicens : Nescitis cujus spiritus estis.	55 Jesus turned and rebuked them,
56 Filius hominis non venit animas perdere, sed salvare. Et abierunt in aliud castellum.	56 and they journeyed to another village.
57 Factum est autem : ambulantibus illis in via, dixit quidam ad illum : Sequar te quocumque ieris.	57 As they were proceeding on their journey someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58 Dixit illi Jesus : Vulpes foveas habent, et volucres cæli nidos : Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinet.	58 Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head."
59 Ait autem ad alterum : Sequere me : ille autem dixit : Domine, permitte mihi primum ire, et sepelire patrem meum.	59 And to another he said, "Follow me." But he replied, "(Lord,) let me go first and bury my father."
60 Dixitque ei Jesus : Sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos : tu autem vade, et annuntia regnum Dei.	60 But he answered him, "Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
61 Et ait alter : Sequar te Domine, sed permitte mihi primum renuntiare his quæ domi sunt.	61 And another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home."
62 Ait ad illum Jesus : Nemo mittens manum suam ad aratrum, et respiciens retro, aptus est regno Dei.	62 (To him) Jesus said, "No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God."
