NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Luke 9

Ministry of the Twelve

1

 aAnd He calledg4779 the twelveg1427 togetherg4779, and gaveg1325 them powerg1411 and authorityg1849 overg1909 allg3956 the demonsg1140 and to healg2323 diseasesg3554.

2

And He sentg649 them out to  aproclaimg2784 the kingdomg932 of Godg2316 and to performg2390 healingg2390.

3

And He saidg3004 to them, aTakeg142 nothingg3367 for your journeyg3598,  bneitherg3383 a staffg4464, norg3383 a  1bagg4082, norg3383 breadg740, norg3383 moneyg694; and do not even haveg2192  2twog1417 tunicsg5509 apieceg303.

4

"Whateverg3739 houseg3614 you enterg1525, stayg3306 thereg1563  1untilg2532 you leaveg1831 that cityg1563.

5

"And as for those who do not receiveg1209 you, as you gog1831 out from that cityg4172,  ashakeg660 the dustg2868 offg660 your feetg4228 as a testimonyg3142 againstg1909 them."

6

Departingg1831, they began goingg1330  1throughoutg1330 the villagesg2968,  apreachingg2097 the gospelg2097 and healingg2323 everywhereg3837.

7

 aNowg1161  bHerodg2264 the tetrarchg5068a heardg191 of allg3956 that was happeningg1096; and he was greatlyg1280 perplexedg1280, becauseg1223 it was saidg3004 by someg5100 that  cJohng2491 had riseng1453 from the deadg3498,

8

and by someg5100 that  aElijahg2243 had appearedg5316, and by othersg243 that oneg5100 of the prophetsg4396 of oldg744 had riseng450 againg450.

9

Herodg2264 saidg3004, "I myselfg1473 had Johng2491 beheadedg607; but whog5101 is thisg3778 mang3778 aboutg4012 whomg3739 I hearg191 suchg5108 thingsg5108?" And  ahe kept tryingg2212 to seeg3708 Him.

10

 aWhen the apostlesg652 returnedg5290, they gaveg1334 an accountg1334 to Him of allg3745 that they had doneg4160.  bTakingg3880 them with Him, He withdrewg5298 by Himselfg2398 to a cityg4172 calledg2564  cBethsaidag966.

11

But the crowdsg3793 were awareg1097 of this and followedg190 Him; and welcomingg588 them, He began speakingg2980 to them aboutg4012 the kingdomg932 of Godg2316 and curingg2390 thoseg3588 who hadg2192 needg5532 of healingg2322.

Five Thousand Fed

12

Now the dayg2250  1was endingg2827, and the twelveg1427 cameg4334 and saidg3004 to Him, "Sendg630 the crowdg3793 awayg630, that they may gog4198 into the surroundingg2945 villagesg2968 and countrysideg68 and findg2647 lodgingg2647 and getg2147  2somethingg1979 to eatg1979; for hereg5602 we are in a desolateg2048 placeg5117."

13

But He saidg3004 to them, "You giveg1325 them something to eatg2068!" And they saidg3004, "We have nog3756 moreg4183 thang2228 fiveg4002 loavesg740 and twog1417 fishg2486, unlessg1487g3385 perhapsg3385 we gog4198 and buyg59 foodg1033 for allg3956 theseg3778 peopleg2992."

14

(For there were aboutg5616 fiveg4000 thousandg4000 meng435.) And He saidg3004 to His disciplesg3101, "Have them  1sitg2625 downg2625 to eat  ain groupsg2828 of aboutg5616 fiftyg4004 eachg303."

15

They didg4160 sog3779, and had them allg537a  1sitg2625 downg2625.

16

Theng2532 He tookg2983 the fiveg4002 loavesg740 and the twog1417 fishg2486, and lookingg308 up to heaveng3772, He blessedg2127 them, and brokeg2622 them, and kept givingg1325 them to the disciplesg3101 to setg3908 beforeg3908 the  1peopleg3793.

17

And they allg3956 ateg2068 and were satisfiedg5526; and  1the brokeng2801 piecesg2801 which they had leftg4052 overg4052 were pickedg142 up, twelveg1427  abasketsg2894 full.

18

 aAnd it happenedg1096 that whileg1722 He was  bprayingg4336 aloneg3441, the disciplesg3101 were with Him, and He questionedg1905 them, sayingg3004, "Whog5101 do the  1peopleg3793 sayg3004 that I amg1510?"

19

They answeredg611 and saidg3004, "Johng2491 the Baptistg910, and othersg243 say Elijahg2243; but othersg243, that oneg5100 of the prophetsg4396 of oldg744 has riseng450 againg450."

20

And He saidg3004 to them, "But whog5101 do you sayg3004 that I amg1510?" And Peterg4074 answeredg611 and saidg3004, " aThe  1Christg5547 of Godg2316."

21

But He  1 awarnedg2008 them and instructedg3853 them not to tellg3004 thisg3778 to anyoneg3367,

22

 asayingg3004, bThe Song5207 of Mang444 mustg1163 sufferg3958 manyg4183 thingsg4183 and be rejectedg593 by the eldersg4245 and chiefg749 priestsg749 and scribesg1122, and be killedg615 and be raisedg1453 up on the thirdg5154 dayg2250."

23

And He was sayingg3004 to them allg3956, aIfg1487 anyoneg5100 wishesg2309 to comeg2064 afterg3694 Me, he must denyg720 himselfg1438, and takeg142 up his crossg4716 dailyg2596g2250 and followg190 Me.

24

"For  awhoeverg3739g1437 wishesg2309 to saveg4982 his  1lifeg5590 will loseg622 it, but whoeverg3739g302 losesg622 his  1lifeg5590 for My sakeg1752a, he is the one who will saveg4982 it.

25

"For whatg5101 is a mang444 profitedg5623 if he gainsg2770 the wholeg3650 worldg2889, and  alosesg622 org2228 forfeitsg2210 himselfg1438?

26

aFor whoeverg3739g302 is ashamedg1870 of Me and My wordsg3056, the Song5207 of Mang444 will be ashamedg1870 of him wheng3752 He comesg2064 in His gloryg1391, and the glory of the Fatherg3962 and of the holyg40 angelsg32a.

27

"But I sayg3004 to you truthfullyg230,  athere are someg5100 of thoseg3588 standingg2476 hereg847 whog3739 will not tasteg1089 deathg2288 untilg2193 they seeg3708 the kingdomg932 of Godg2316."

The Transfiguration

28

 aSomeg5616 eightg3638 daysg2250 afterg3326 theseg3778 sayingsg3056, He tookg3880 alongg3880  bPeterg4074 and Johng2491 and Jamesg2385, and  cwentg305 up on the mountaing3735  dto prayg4336.

29

And whileg1722 He was  aprayingg4336, the appearanceg1491b of His faceg4383  bbecameg1096 differentg2087, and His clothingg2441 became whiteg3022 and  1gleamingg1823.

30

And beholdg2400, twog1417 meng435 were talkingg4814 with Him; and they were Mosesg3475 and Elijahg2243,

31

whog3739, appearingg3708 in  1gloryg1391, were speakingg3004 of His  adepartureg1841 whichg3739 He was aboutg3195 to accomplishg4137 at Jerusalemg2419.

32

Nowg1161 Peterg4074 and his companionsg3588g4862  ahad beeng1510 overcomeg916 with sleepg5258; but when they were fullyg1235 awakeg1235, they sawg3708 His gloryg1391 and the twog1417 meng435 standingg4921 with Him.

33

And as  1theseg846 were leavingg1316 Him, Peterg4074 saidg3004 to Jesusg2424, " aMasterg1988b, it is goodg2570 for us to be hereg5602;  blet us makeg4160 threeg5140  2tabernaclesg4633: oneg1520 for You, and oneg1520 for Mosesg3475, and oneg1520 for Elijahg2243"-- cnot realizingg3609a whatg3739 he was sayingg3004.

34

While he was sayingg3004 thisg3778, a cloudg3507  1formedg1096 and began to overshadowg1982 them; and they were afraidg5399 as they enteredg1525 the cloudg3507.

35

Theng2532  aa voiceg5456 cameg1096 out of the cloudg3507, sayingg3004, " bThisg3778 is My Song5207, My Choseng1586 One; listeng191 to Him!"

36

And wheng1722 the voiceg5456  1had spokeng1096, Jesusg2424 was foundg2147 aloneg3441. And  athey keptg4601 silentg4601, and reportedg518 to nog3762 oneg3762 in thoseg1565 daysg2250 anyg3762 of the things whichg3739 they had seeng3708.

37

 aOn the nextg1836 dayg2250, when they cameg1096 downg2718 from the mountaing3735, a largeg4183 crowdg3793 metg4876 Him.

38

And a mang435 from the crowdg3793 shoutedg994, sayingg3004, "Teacherg1320, I begg1189a You to lookg1914 at my song5207, for he is my  1onlyg3439 boy,

39

and a spiritg4151 seizesg2983 him, and he suddenlyg1810 screamsg2896, and it throwsg4682 him into a convulsiong4682 with foamingg876 at the mouth; and onlyg3433 with difficultyg3433 does it leaveg672 him, maulingg4937 him as it leavesg672.

40

"I beggedg1189a Your disciplesg3101 to castg1544b it out, and they couldg1410 not."

41

And Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004, "You unbelievingg571 and pervertedg1294 generationg1074, howg2193 longg2193g4219 shall I be with you and putg430 up with you? Bringg4317 your song5207 hereg5602."

42

While he was stillg2089 approachingg4334, the demong1140  1slammedg4486 him to the ground and threwg4952 him into a convulsiong4952. But Jesusg2424 rebukedg2008 the uncleang169 spiritg4151, and healedg2390 the boyg3816 and gaveg591 him backg591 to his fatherg3962.

43

And they were allg3956 amazedg1605 at the  1 agreatnessg3168 of Godg2316.

 bBut while everyoneg3956 was marvelingg2296 at allg3956 that He was doingg4160, He saidg3004 to His disciplesg3101,

44

"Let theseg3778 wordsg3056 sinkg5087 into your earsg3775;  afor the Song5207 of Mang444 is goingg3195 to be  1deliveredg3860 into the handsg5495 of meng444."

45

But  athey  1did not understandg50 thisg3778 statementg4487, and it was concealedg3871 from them sog2443 that they would not perceiveg143 it; and they were afraidg5399 to askg2065 Him aboutg4012 thisg3778 statementg4487.

The Test of Greatness

46

 aAn argumentg1261  1startedg1525 amongg1722 them as to whichg5101 of them might be the greatestg3173.

47

But Jesusg2424,  aknowingg3609a  1whatg1261 they were thinkingg1261 in their heartg2588, tookg1949 a childg3813 and stoodg2476 him by His sideg3844,

48

and saidg3004 to them, aWhoeverg3739g1437 receivesg1209 thisg3778 childg3813 in My nameg3686 receivesg1209 Me, and whoeverg3739g302 receivesg1209 Me receivesg1209 Him who sentg649 Me;  bfor the oneg3588 who is leastg3398 amongg1722 allg3956 of you, thisg3778 is the one who is greatg3173."

49

 aJohng2491 answeredg611 and saidg3004, " bMasterg1988b, we sawg3708 someoneg5100 castingg1544b out demonsg1140 in Your nameg3686; and we tried to preventg2967 him becauseg3754 he does not followg190 along with us."

50

But Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to him, "Do not hinderg2967 him;  afor he whog3739 is not againstg2596 you is  1for you."

51

Wheng1722 the daysg2250 were approachingg4845 for  aHis  1ascensiong354, He  2was determinedg4741  bto gog4198 to Jerusalemg2419;

52

and He sentg649 messengersg32a on aheadg4253g4383 of Him, and they wentg4198 and enteredg1525 a villageg2968 of the  aSamaritansg4541 to  1makeg2090 arrangementsg2090 for Him.

53

But they did not receiveg1209 Him,  abecauseg3754  1He was travelingg4198 towardg1519 Jerusalemg2419.

54

When His disciplesg3101  aJamesg2385 and Johng2491 sawg3708 this, they saidg3004, "Lordg2962, do You wantg2309 us to  bcommandg3004 fireg4442 to comeg2597 downg2597 from heaveng3772 and consumeg355 them?"

55

But He turnedg4762 and rebukedg2008 them, [ 1and saidg3004, "You do not knowg3609a whatg4169 kindg4169 of spiritg4151 you are of;

56

for the Song5207 of Mang444 did not comeg2064 to destroyg622 men'sg444 livesg5590, but to saveg4982 them."] And they wentg4198 on to anotherg2087 villageg2968.

Exacting Discipleship

57

 aAs they were goingg4198 alongg1722 the roadg3598,  bsomeoneg5100 saidg3004 to Him, "I will followg190 You whereverg3699g1437 You gog565."

58

And Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to him, "The foxesg258 haveg2192 holesg5454 and the birdsg4071 of the  1airg3772 have  2nestsg2682, but  athe Song5207 of Mang444 hasg2192 nowhereg3756g4226 to layg2827 His headg2776."

59

And He saidg3004 to anotherg2087, aFollowg190 Me." But he saidg3004, "Lordg2962, permitg2010 me firstg4413 to gog565 and buryg2290 my fatherg3962."

60

But He saidg3004 to him, "Allowg863 the deadg3498 to buryg2290 their owng1438 deadg3498; but as for you, gog565 and  aproclaimg1229 everywhereg1229 the kingdomg932 of Godg2316."

61

Anotherg2087 alsog2532 saidg3004, "I will followg190 You, Lordg2962; but  afirstg4413 permitg2010 me to sayg657 good-byeg657 to thoseg3588 at homeg3624."

62

But Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to him, aNog3762 oneg3762, after puttingg1911 his handg5495 to the plowg723 and lookingg991 backg3694, is fitg2111 for the kingdomg932 of Godg2316."
