- Kapitel 9 -

(Matthew 10:5–15; Mark 6:7–13)
1
And having called together His twelve disciples, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases,
2
and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to heal the ailing.
3
And He said to them, “Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor leather pouch, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;
4
and into whatever house you may enter, remain there, and depart from there;
5
and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.”
6
And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.

Herod Tries to See Jesus

(Matthew 14:1–12; Mark 6:14–29)
7
And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by Him, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John has been raised out of the dead,
8
and by some that Elijah appeared, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;
9
and Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?” And he was seeking to see Him.

The Feeding of the Five Thousand

(Matthew 14:13–21; Mark 6:30–44; John 6:1–15)
10
And the apostles having turned back, declared to Him how they did great things, and having taken them, He withdrew by Himself into a city called Bethsaida,
11
and the multitudes having known followed Him, and having received them, He was speaking to them concerning the Kingdom of God, and He cured those having need of service.
12
And the day began to decline, and the Twelve having come near, said to Him, “Let away the multitude, that having gone into the surrounding villages and the fields, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desolate place.”
13
And He said to them, “You give them to eat”; and they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy food for all this people”;
14
for they were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, “Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty”;
15
and they did so, and made all to recline;
16
and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the sky, He blessed them, and broke, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude;
17
and they ate, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

Peter’s Confession of Christ

(Matthew 16:13–20; Mark 8:27–30; John 6:67–71)
18
And it came to pass, as He is praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the multitudes say I am?”
19
And they answering said, “John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen”;
20
and He said to them, “And youwho do you say I am?” And Peter answering said, “The Christ of God.”

Christ’s Passion Foretold

(Matthew 16:21–23; Mark 8:31–33)
21
And having charged them, He commanded [them] to say this to no one,
22
saying, “It is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised the third day.”

Take Up Your Cross

(Matthew 16:24–28; Mark 8:34–38)
23
And He said to all, “If anyone wills to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me;
24
for whoever may will to save his life will lose it, and whoever may lose his life for My sake, he will save it;
25
for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?
26
For whoever may be ashamed of Me and of My words, of this one will the Son of Man be ashamed when He may come in His glory, and the Father’s, and the holy messengers’;
27
and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those standing here who will not taste of death until they may see the Kingdom of God.”

The Transfiguration

(Matthew 17:1–13; Mark 9:1–13; 2 Peter 1:16–21)
28
And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, He went up to the mountain to pray,
29
and it came to pass, in His praying, the appearance of His face became altered, and His clothing became flashing white.
30
And behold, two men were speaking together with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31
who having appeared in glory, spoke of His outgoing that He was about to fulfill in Jerusalem,
32
but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having awoken, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.
33
And it came to pass, in their parting from Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three shelters: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he says:
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 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.

The Boy with an Evil Spirit

(Matthew 17:14–18; Mark 9:14–29)
37
And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him there,
38
and behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, because he is my only begotten;
39
and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it convulses him, with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him,
40
and I implored Your disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.”
41
And Jesus answering said, “O generation, unsteadfast and perverse, until when will I be with you, and endure you? Bring your son near here”;
42
and as he is yet coming near, the demon threw him down, and convulsed [him], and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

The Second Prediction of the Passion

(Matthew 17:22–23; Mark 9:30–32)
43
And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, He said to His disciples,
44
Lay to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up into 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.

The Greatest in the Kingdom

(Matthew 18:1–5; Mark 9:33–41)
46
And there entered a reasoning among them, thiswho may be greater of them.
47
And Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside Him,
48
and said to them, “Whoever may receive this child in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, receives Him who sent Me, for he who is least among you allhe will be great.”
49
And John answering said, “Master, we saw a certain one casting forth the demons in Your Name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us”;
50
and Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid, for he who is not against us, is for us.”

The Samaritans Reject Jesus

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, “Lord, will You [that] we may command fire to come down from Heaven, and to consume them, as Elijah also did?”
55
And having turned, He rebuked them and said, “You have not known of what spirit you 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.

The Cost of Discipleship

(Matthew 8:18–22; Luke 14:25–33; John 6:59–66)
57
And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You may go, Lord”;
58
and Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky places of rest, but the Son of Man has nowhere He may recline the head.”
59
And He said to another, “Follow Me”; and he said, “Lord, permit me, having gone away, to first bury my father”;
60
and Jesus said to him, “Permit the dead to bury their own dead, and you, having gone away, publish the Kingdom of God.”
61
And another also said, “I will follow You, Lord, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house”;
62
and Jesus said to him, “No one having put his hand on a plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
(Matthew 10:5–15; Mark 6:7–13)
1
He called the twelve (a) together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2
He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
3
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
4
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5
As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
6
They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.

Herod Tries to See Jesus

(Matthew 14:1–12; Mark 6:14–29)
7
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9
Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

The Feeding of the Five Thousand

(Matthew 14:13–21; Mark 6:30–44; John 6:1–15)
10
The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of (b) a city called Bethsaida.
11
But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of Gods Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
12
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
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 should go and buy food for all these people.”
14
For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15
They did so, and made them all sit down.
16
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17
They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

Peter’s Confession of Christ

(Matthew 16:13–20; Mark 8:27–30; John 6:67–71)
18
As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19
They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

Christ’s Passion Foretold

(Matthew 16:21–23; Mark 8:31–33)
21
But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22
saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

Take Up Your Cross

(Matthew 16:24–28; Mark 8:34–38)
23
He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, (c) and follow me.
24
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
25
For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26
For whoever will be 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 the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”

The Transfiguration

(Matthew 17:1–13; Mark 9:1–13; 2 Peter 1:16–21)
28
About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29
As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30
Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31
who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure,(d) 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.

The Boy with an Evil Spirit

(Matthew 17:14–18; Mark 9:14–29)
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(e) 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.

The Second Prediction of the Passion

(Matthew 17:22–23; Mark 9:30–32)
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.

The Greatest in the Kingdom

(Matthew 18:1–5; Mark 9:33–41)
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.”

The Samaritans Reject Jesus

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.

The Cost of Discipleship

(Matthew 8:18–22; Luke 14:25–33; John 6:59–66)
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.”
