1 E, convocando os seus doze discípulos, deu-lhes virtude e poder sobre todos os demônios, para curarem enfermidades.
2 E enviou-os a pregar o reino de Deus, e a curar os enfermos.
3 E disse-lhes: Nada leveis convosco para o caminho, nem bordões, nem alforje, nem pão, nem dinheiro; nem tenhais duas túnicas.
4 E em qualquer casa em que entrardes, ficai ali, e de lá saireis.
5 E se em qualquer cidade vos não receberem, saindo vós dali, sacudi o pó dos vossos pés, em testemunho contra eles.
6 E, saindo eles, percorreram todas as aldeias, anunciando o evangelho, e fazendo curas por toda a parte.
7 E o tetrarca Herodes ouviu todas as coisas que por ele foram feitas, e estava em dúvida, porque diziam alguns que João ressuscitara dentre os mortos; e outros que Elias tinha aparecido;
8 E outros que um profeta dos antigos havia ressuscitado.
9 E disse Herodes: A João mandei eu degolar; quem é, pois, este de quem ouço dizer tais coisas? E procurava vê-lo.
10 E, regressando os apóstolos, contaram-lhe tudo o que tinham feito. E, tomando-os consigo, retirou-se para um lugar deserto de uma cidade chamada Betsaida.
11 E, sabendo-o a multidão, o seguiu; e ele os recebeu, e falava-lhes do reino de Deus, e sarava os que necessitavam de cura.
12 E já o dia começava a declinar; então, chegando-se a ele os doze, disseram-lhe: Despede a multidão, para que, indo aos lugares e aldeias em redor, se agasalhem, e achem o que comer; porque aqui estamos em lugar deserto.
13 Mas ele lhes disse: Dai-lhes vós de comer. E eles disseram: Não temos senão cinco pães e dois peixes, salvo se nós próprios formos comprar comida para todo este povo.
14 Porquanto estavam ali quase cinco mil homens. Disse, então, aos seus discípulos: Fazei-os assentar, em ranchos de cinqüenta em cinqüenta.
15 E assim o fizeram, fazendo-os assentar a todos.
16 E, tomando os cinco pães e os dois peixes, e olhando para o céu, abençoou-os, e partiu-os, e deu-os aos seus discípulos para os porem diante da multidão.
17 E comeram todos, e saciaram-se; e levantaram, do que lhes sobejou, doze alcofas de pedaços.
18 E aconteceu que, estando ele só, orando, estavam com ele os discípulos; e perguntou-lhes, dizendo: Quem diz a multidão que eu sou?
19 E, respondendo eles, disseram: João o Batista; outros, Elias, e outros que um dos antigos profetas ressuscitou.
20 E disse-lhes: E vós, quem dizeis que eu sou? E, respondendo Pedro, disse: O Cristo de Deus.
21 E, admoestando-os, mandou que a ninguém referissem isso,
22 Dizendo: É necessário que o Filho do homem padeça muitas coisas, e seja rejeitado dos anciãos edos escribas, e seja morto, e ressuscite ao terceiro dia.
23 E dizia a todos: Se alguém quer vir após mim, negue-se a si mesmo, e tome cada dia a sua cruz, e siga-me.
24 Porque, qualquer que quiser salvar a sua vida, perdê-la-á; mas qualquer que, por amor de mim, perder a sua vida, a salvará.
25 Porque, que aproveita ao homem granjear o mundo todo, perdendo-se ou prejudicando-se a si mesmo?
26 Porque, qualquer que de mim e das minhas palavras se envergonhar, dele se envergonhará o Filho do homem, quando vier na sua glória, e na do Pai e dos santos anjos.
27 E em verdade vos digo que, dos que aqui estão, alguns há que não provarão a morte até que vejam o reino de Deus.
28 E aconteceu que, quase oito dias depois destas palavras, tomou consigo a Pedro, a João e a Tiago, e subiu ao monte a orar.
29 E, estando ele orando, transfigurou-se a aparência do seu rosto, e a sua roupa ficou branca e mui resplandecente.
30 E eis que estavam falando com ele dois homens, que eram Moisés e Elias,
31 Os quais apareceram com glória, e falavam da sua morte, a qual havia de cumprir-se em Jerusalém.
32 E Pedro e os que estavam com ele estavam carregados de sono; e, quando despertaram, viram a sua glória e aqueles dois homens que estavam com ele.
33 E aconteceu que, quando aqueles se apartaram dele, disse Pedro a Jesus: Mestre, bom é que nós estejamos aqui, e façamos três tendas: uma para ti, uma para Moisés, e uma para Elias, não sabendo o que dizia.
34 E, dizendo ele isto, veio uma nuvem que os cobriu com a sua sombra; e, entrando eles na nuvem, temeram.
35 E saiu da nuvem uma voz que dizia: Este é o meu amado Filho; a ele ouvi.
36 E, tendo soado aquela voz, Jesus foi achado só; e eles calaram-se, e por aqueles dias não contaram a ninguém nada do que tinham visto.
37 E aconteceu, no dia seguinte, que, descendo eles do monte, lhes saiu ao encontro uma grande multidão;
38 E eis que um homem da multidão clamou, dizendo: Mestre, peço-te que olhes para meu filho, porque é o único que eu tenho.
39 Eis que um espírito o toma e de repente clama, e o despedaça até espumar; e só o larga depois de o ter quebrantado.
40 E roguei aos teus discípulos que o expulsassem, e não puderam.
41 E Jesus, respondendo, disse: Ó geração incrédula e perversa! até quando estarei ainda convosco e vos sofrerei? Traze-me aqui o teu filho.
42 E, quando vinha chegando, o demônio o derrubou e convulsionou; porém, Jesus repreendeu o espírito imundo, e curou o menino, e o entregou a seu pai.
43 E todos pasmavam da majestade de Deus. E, maravilhando-se todos de todas as coisas que Jesus fazia, disse aos seus discípulos:
44 Ponde vós estas palavras em vossos ouvidos, porque o Filho do homem será entregue nas mãos dos homens.
45 Mas eles não entendiam esta palavra, que lhes era encoberta, para que a não compreendessem; e temiam interrogá-lo acerca desta palavra.
46 E suscitou-se entre eles uma discussão sobre qual deles seria o maior.
47 Mas Jesus, vendo o pensamento de seus corações, tomou um menino, pô-lo junto a si,
48 E disse-lhes: Qualquer que receber este menino em meu nome, recebe-me a mim; e qualquer que me receber a mim, recebe o que me enviou; porque aquele que entre vós todos for o menor, esse mesmo será grande.
49 E, respondendo João, disse: Mestre, vimos um que em teu nome expulsava os demônios, e lho proibimos, porque não te segue conosco.
50 E Jesus lhe disse: Não o proibais, porque quem não é contra nós é por nós.
51 E aconteceu que, completando-se os dias para a sua assunção, manifestou o firme propósito de ir a Jerusalém.
52 E mandou mensageiros adiante de si; e, indo eles, entraram numa aldeia de samaritanos, para lhe prepararem pousada,
53 Mas não o receberam, porque o seu aspecto era como de quem ia a Jerusalém.
54 E os seus discípulos, Tiago e João, vendo isto, disseram: Senhor, queres que digamos que desça fogo do céu e os consuma, como Elias também fez?
55 Voltando-se, porém, repreendeu-os, e disse: Vós não sabeis de que espírito sois.
56 Porque o Filho do homem não veio para destruir as almas dos homens, mas para salvá-las. E foram para outra aldeia.
57 E aconteceu que, indo eles pelo caminho, lhe disse um: Senhor, seguir-te-ei para onde quer que fores.
58 E disse-lhe Jesus: As raposas têm covis, e as aves do céu, ninhos, mas o Filho do homem não tem onde reclinar a cabeça.
59 E disse a outro: Segue-me. Mas ele respondeu: Senhor, deixa que primeiro eu vá a enterrar meu pai.
60 Mas Jesus lhe observou: Deixa aos mortos o enterrar os seus mortos; porém tu vai e anuncia o reino de Deus.
61 Disse também outro: Senhor, eu te seguirei, mas deixa-me despedir primeiro dos que estão em minha casa.
62 E Jesus lhe disse: Ninguém, que lança mão do arado e olha para trás, é apto para o reino de Deus.
1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor money, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatever house you enter into, there abide, and there depart.
5 And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 But he said to them, Give you them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said to them, But whom say you that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And he straightly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whoever will save his life shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father', and of the holy angels.
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spoke, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech you, look on my son: for he is my only child.
39 And, see, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it tears him that he foams again, and bruising him hardly departs from him.
40 And I sought your disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring your son here.
42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name receives me: and whoever shall receive me receives him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name; and we forbade him, because he follows not with us.
50 And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men' lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said to him, Lord, I will follow you wherever you go.
58 And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.
59 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go you and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow you; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
