1 And having called together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases,
2 and sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; nor to have two body-coats apiece.
4 And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide and thence go forth.
5 And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them.
6 And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere.
7 And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done {by him}, and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among {the} dead,
8 and by some that Elias had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 And Herod said, John *I* have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? and he sought to see him.
10 And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into {a desert place of} a city called Bethsaida.
11 But the crowds knowing {it} followed him; and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those that had need of healing.
12 But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and {into} the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.
13 And he said to them, Give *ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless *we* should go and buy food for all this people;
14 for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed them, and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 And they all ate and were filled; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets.
18 And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?
19 But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.
20 And he said to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 But, earnestly charging them, he enjoined {them} to say this to no man,
22 saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
23 And he said to {them} all, If any one will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me;
24 for whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, *he* shall save it.
25 For what shall a man profit if he shall have gained the whole world, and have destroyed, or come under the penalty of the loss of himself?
26 For whosoever shall have been ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory, and {in that} of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white {and} effulgent.
30 And lo, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elias,
31 who, appearing in glory, spoke of his departure which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who 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 thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:
35 and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, *This* is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 And as the voice was {heard} Jesus was found alone: and *they* kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
37 And it came to pass on the following day, when they came down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38 And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child:
39 and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it tears him with foaming, and with difficulty departs from him after crushing him.
40 And I besought thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.
42 But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.
43 And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which {Jesus} did, he said to his disciples,
44 Do *ye* let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands.
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.
46 And a reasoning came in amongst them, who should be {the} greatest of them.
47 And Jesus, seeing the reasoning of their heart, having taken a little child set it by him,
48 and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, *he* is great.
49 And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.
50 And Jesus said to him, Forbid {him} not, for he that is not against you is for you.
51 And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that *he* stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was {turned as} going to Jerusalem.
54 And his disciples James and John seeing {it} said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak {that} fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?
55 But turning he rebuked them {and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are}.
56 And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.
58 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.
59 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me to go first and bury my father.
60 But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do *thou* go and announce the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid adieu to those at my house.
62 But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on {the} plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
1 Na ka karangatia e ia te tekau ma rua, ka hoatu ki a ratou he kaha, he mana, e peia ai nga rewera katoa, e ora ai nga mate.
2 A tonoa ana ratou e ia ki te kauwhau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ki te whakaora hoki i te hunga e mate ana.
3 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Kaua tetahi mea e mauria ki te ara, kaua he tokotoko, kaua he putea, kaua he taro, kaua he moni; kaua ano e takiruatia he koti.
4 A ka tomo koutou ki tetahi whare, hei reira noho ai a haere noa i reira.
5 A, ki te kahore etahi e manako ki a koutou, ina haere atu koutou i taua pa, ruia atu te puehu o o koutou waewae, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.
6 Na, ko to ratou mawehetanga atu, ka haereerea e ratou nga kainga, me te kauwhau i te rongopai, me te whakaora i nga wahi katoa.
7 A ka rongo a Herora tetaraki i nga mea katoa i meinga e ia: a he nui tona pororaru, no te mea ki ta etahi ki, kua ara mai a Hoani i te hunga mate;
8 Ki ta etahi, kua puta mai a Iraia; ki ta etahi, kua ara mai tetahi o nga poropiti onamata.
9 Na ka mea a Herora, I poutoa e ahau te matenga o Hoani: ko wai hoki tenei mona nei enei korero ka rangona nei e ahau? A ka whai ia kia kite i a ia.
10 A, no te hokinga mai o nga apotoro, ka korerotia ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai ratou. A ka tango ia i a ratou, ka haere ko ratou anake ki tetahi pa, ko Petahaira te ingoa.
11 Otira, i te kitenga o nga mano, ka aru i a ia: a ka manaaki ia i a ratou, ka korerotia ki a ratou te rangatiratanga o te Atua, whakaorangia ana hoki e ia te hunga e mea ana kia rongoatia.
12 Na kua titaha haere te ra; a ka haere mai te tekau ma rua, ka mea ki a ia, Tonoa te mano, kia haere ai ki nga kainga, ki nga whenua i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, moe ai, ki te mea kei hoki ma ratou; he wahi koraha hoki tenei i a tatou nei.
13 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ma koutou e hoatu he kai ma ratou. ka mea ratou, heoi ano a matou e rima nga taro, e rua nga ika; ki te kahore ano ia matou e haere ki te hoko kai ma tenei iwi katoa.
14 Me te mea ano e rima mano nga tane. Ka mea ia ki ana akonga, Meinga ratou kia noho, kia rima tekau ki te nohoanga.
15 A pera ana ratou, meinga katoatia ana kia noho.
16 Na ka mau ia ki nga taro e rima, ki nga ika e rua, ka titiro ake ki te rangi, ka whakapai i aua mea, ka whawhati, ka hoatu ki nga akonga kia whakatakotoria atu ma te mano.
17 Na ka kai ratou, ka makona katoa: a kotahi tekau ma rua nga kete i kohia ake e ratou, he toenga na ratou no nga whatiwhatinga.
18 A, i a ia e inoi ana ko ia anake, i a ia ano ana akonga: na ka ui ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ko wai ahau ki te ki a te mano?
19 Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri; ki ta etahi ia, ko iraia; ki ta etahi, kua ara mai tetahi o nga poropiti onamata.
20 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ki ta koutou na ki, ko wai ahau? Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea, Ko te Karaiti a te Atua.
21 Katahi ia ka whakatupato i a ratou, ka mea, kia kaua tenei e korerotia ki te tangata;
22 I mea ano ia, Kua takoto te tikanga kia maha nga mamae o te Tama a te tangata, kia whakakahoretia ano ia e nga kaumatua, e nga tohunga nui, e nga karaipi, kia whakamatea, a i te toru o nga ra ka whakaarahia.
23 I mea ano ia ki a ratou katoa, Ki te mea tetahi kia haere mai i muri i ahau, me whakakahore ia e ia ano, me amo tona ripeka i nga ra katoa, ka aru ai i ahau.
24 Ki te whai hoki tetahi kia ora, ka mate ia: otira ki te mate tetahi, mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ka ora ia.
25 He aha oti te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, a ka ngaro ko ia ano, ka riro ranei i te he?
26 Ki te whakama hoki tetahi ki ahau, a ki aku korero, ka whakama ano te Tama a te tangata ki a ia, ina haere mai ia i runga i tona ake kororia, i te kororia hoki o te Matua, o nga anahera tapu.
27 Na he pono taku korero ki a koutou, Tenei ano etahi o te hunga e tu nei e kore e pangia e te mate, kia kite ra ano i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
28 A ka tata ki te waru o nga ra i muri i enei korero, ka mau ia ki a Pita, ki a Hoani, ki a Hemi, ka haere ki runga ki te maunga ki te inoi.
29 A, i a ia e inoi ana, ka puta ke te ahau o tona mata, ma tonu tona kakahu, kanapa tonu.
30 Na, tokorua nga tangata e korero tahi ana me ia, ko Mohi raua ko Iraia:
31 I puta kororia mai, i korero ano ki tona matenga meake nei rite i a ia ki Hiruharama.
32 I pehia hoki a Pita ratou ko ona hoa e te moe: a, i to ratou aranga ake, ka kite i tona kororia, me nga tangata tokorua e tu tahi ana me ia.
33 A i a raua e mawehe atu ana i a ia, ka mea a Pita ki a Ihu, E kara, he pai kia noho tatou i konei: na kia hanga e matou etahi wharau kia toru; kia kotahi mou, kia kotahi mo Mohi, kia kotahi mo Iraia: kihai ia i mohio ki tana i korero ai.
34 A i a ia e korero ana i enei mea, ka puta he kapua, a taumaru iho ana ki a ratou: a mataku ana ratou i to ratou haerenga ki roto ki te kapua.
35 Na ka puta mai he reo i te kapua, e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei, ko taku i whiriwhiri ai: whakarongo ki a ia.
36 A, no te putanga o te reo, ko Ihu anake i kitea. A whakarongo puku ana ratou, kihai hoki i korerotia e ratou ki te tangata i aua ra tetahi o nga mea i kite ai ratou.
37 Na, i te aonga ake o te ra, i a ratou kua tatu iho i runga i te maunga, he rahi te hui i tutaki ki a ia.
38 Na ka karanga tetahi tangata i roto i te mano, ka mea, Tena koa, e te Kaiwhakaako, titiro mai ki taku tama: ko ia anake hoki taku.
39 Na ka hopu te wairua i a ia, inamata ka hamama; na ka haehae i a ia, tutu ana te huka i a ia; whakauaua ana te whakarere i a ia, a maru iho ia.
40 A i te inoi ahau ki au akonga kia peia ia ki waho: heoi kihai i taea e ratou.
41 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea, E te uri whakaponokore, parori ke, kia pehea te roa o toku noho ki a koutou, o toku manawanui ki a koutou? Kawea mai tau tama ki konei.
42 Na i a ia e haere mai ana, ka taia iho ia e te rewera, haehaea iho. Na ka riria te wairua poke e Ihu, a whakaorangia ana te tamaiti, hoatu ana ki tona papa.
43 Oho mauri katoa ana ratou ki te nui o te Atua. A, i a ratou e miharo ana ki nga mea katoa i meinga e Ihu, ka mea ia ki ana akonga,
44 Rongoatia enei korero ki roto ki o koutou taringa: meake hoki tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga ringa o nga tangata.
45 Otira kihai ratou i mohio ki tenei kupu, he mea huna hoki i a ratou, kei kite ratou: i mataku hoki ratou ki te ui ki a ia i taua kupu.
46 Na ka puta ake he korerorero i roto i a ratou, ko wai o ratou te mea nui rawa.
47 Otira, i te kitenga o Ihu i e whakaaroaronga a o ratou ngakau, ka mau ia ki tetahi tamaiti nohinohi, a whakaturia ana ki tona taha,
48 Ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te manako tetahi ki tenei tamaiti, na te whakaaro hoki ki toku ingoa, e manako ana ia ki ahau: ki te manako hoki tetahi ki ahau, e manako ana ia ki toku kaitono mai: na, ko te iti rawa i roto i a koutou katoa ko ia hei mea nui.
49 Na, ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea, E kara, i kite matou i tetahi e pei rewera ana i runga i tou ingoa; a riria iho e matou, mona kahore e haere tahi tatou.
50 Otira i mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kaua e riria: ki te mea hoki ehara tetahi i te hoa whawhai no koutou, no koutou ia.
51 A, no ka tata nga ra mo tona tangohanga ki runga, ka whakamau tona kanohi ki te haere ki Hiruharama,
52 A ka tonoa atu e ia he karere i mua i tona aroaro: a ka haere ratou, ka tomo ki tetahi kainga o nga Hamari ki te mea tukunga iho mona.
53 Heoi kihai era i manako ki a ia, ko te ahua hoki o tona kanohi me te mea e haere ana ia ki Hiruharama.
54 A, no te kitenga o ana akonga, o Hemi raua ko Hoani, ka mea raua, E te Ariki, e pai ana ranei koe kia korerotia e maua he kapura kia heke iho i te rangi, hei whakangaro i a ratou?
55 Otira ka tahuri ia, ka riria raua, kahore korua e matau no tehea wairua korua.
56 Kihai hoki te Tama a te tangata i haere mai ki te whakamate tangata, engari ki te whakaora. na haere ana ratou he kainga ke.
57 A, i a ratou e haere ana i te ara, ka mea tetahi tangata ki a ia, Ka aru ahau i a koe ki nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.
58 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, He rua o nga pokiha, he kohanga o nga manu o te rangi; tena ko te Tama a te tangata hore ona wahi e takoto ai tona matenga.
59 Ka mea ia ki tetahi atu, Arumia mai ahau. A ka mea ia, E te Ariki, tukua ahau kia matua haere ki te tanu i toku papa.
60 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Waiho ma nga tupapaku e tanu o ratou na tupapaku: ko koe ia me haere ki te kauwhau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
61 Ka mea hoki tetahi atu, E te Ariki, ka aru ahau i a koe; otira tukua ahau kia matua poroporoaki ki te hunga i toku whare.
62 Otira ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te pa te ringa o tetahi ki te parau, a ka titiro ki muri, e kore ia e tau mo te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
