1 συγκαλεσαμενος δε τους δωδεκα μαθητας αυτου εδωκεν αυτοις δυναμιν και εξουσιαν επι παντα τα δαιμονια και νοσους θεραπευειν·
1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2 και απεστειλεν αυτους κηρυσσειν την βασιλειαν του θεου και ιασθαι τους ασθενουντας,
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 και ειπεν προς αυτους· μηδεν αιρετε εις την οδον, μητε ραβδους μητε πηραν μητε αρτον μητε αργυριον μητε ανα δυο χιτωνας εχειν.
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 και εις ην αν οικιαν εισελθητε, εκει μενετε και εκειθεν εξερχεσθε.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 και οσοι εαν μη δεξωνται υμας, εξερχομενοι απο της πολεως εκεινης και τον κονιορτον απο των ποδων υμων αποτιναξατε εις μαρτυριον επ αυτους.
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 εξερχομενοι δε διηρχοντο κατα τας κωμας ευαγγελιζομενοι και θεραπευοντες πανταχου.
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
7 ηκουσεν δε ηρωδης ο τετραρχης τα γινομενα υπ αυτου παντα, και διηπορει δια το λεγεσθαι υπο τινων οτι ιωαννης εγηγερται εκ [των] νεκρων,
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 υπο τινων δε οτι ηλιας εφανη, αλλων δε οτι προφητης τις των αρχαιων ανεστη.
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 και ειπεν ο ηρωδης· ιωαννην εγω απεκεφαλισα· τις δε εστιν ουτος περι ου εγω ακουω τοιαυτα; και εζητει ιδειν αυτον.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
10 και υποστρεψαντες οι αποστολοι διηγησαντο αυτω οσα εποιησαν. και παραλαβων αυτους υπεχωρησεν κατ ιδιαν εις τοπον ερημον πολεως καλουμενης βηθσαιδα.
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 a city called Bethsaida.
11 οι δε οχλοι γνοντες ηκολουθησαν αυτω, και δεξαμενος αυτους ελαλει αυτοις περι της βασιλειας του θεου, και τους χρειαν εχοντας θεραπειας ιασατο.
11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 η δε ημερα ηρξατο κλινειν· προσελθοντες δε οι δωδεκα ειπον αυτω· απολυσον τον οχλον, ινα πορευθεντες εις τας κυκλω κωμας και τους αγρους καταλυσωσιν και ευρωσιν επισιτισμον, οτι ωδε εν ερημω τοπω εσμεν.
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 ειπεν δε προς αυτους· δοτε αυτοις υμεις φαγειν. οι δε ειπον· ουκ εισιν ημιν πλειον η πεντε αρτοι και ιχθυες δυο, ει μητι πορευθεντες ημεις αγορασομεν εις παντα τον λαον τουτον βρωματα·
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 ησαν γαρ ωσει ανδρες πεντακισχιλιοι. ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας αυτου· κατακλινατε αυτους κλισιας ανα πεντηκοντα.
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 και εποιησαν ουτως και ανεκλιναν απαντας.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
16 λαβων δε τους πεντε αρτους και τους δυο ιχθυας, αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον ευλογησεν αυτους και κατεκλασεν, και εδιδου τοις μαθηταις παραθειναι τω οχλω.
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 και εφαγον και εχορτασθησαν παντες, και ηρθη το περισσευσαν αυτοις κλασματων κοφινοι δωδεκα.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18 και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον προσευχομενον καταμονας, συνησαν αυτω οι μαθηται, και επηρωτησεν αυτους λεγων· τινα με λεγουσιν οι οχλοι ειναι;
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19 οι δε αποκριθεντες ειπον· ιωαννην τον βαπτιστην, αλλοι δε ηλιαν, αλλοι δε οτι προφητης τις των αρχαιων ανεστη.
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20 ειπεν δε αυτοις· υμεις δε τινα με λεγετε ειναι; αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν· τον χριστον του θεου.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21 ο δε επιτιμησας αυτοις παρηγγειλεν μηδενι λεγειν τουτο,
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 ειπων οτι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου πολλα παθειν και αποδοκιμασθηναι απο των πρεσβυτερων και αρχιερεων και γραμματεων, και αποκτανθηναι, και τη τριτη ημερα εγερθηναι.
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.”
23 ελεγεν δε προς παντας· ει τις θελει οπισω μου ερχεσθαι, απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου καθ ημεραν και ακολουθειτω μοι.
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
24 ος γαρ αν θελη την ψυχην αυτου σωσαι, απολεσει αυτην· ος δ αν απολεση την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου, ουτος σωσει αυτην.
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
25 τι γαρ ωφελειται ανθρωπος κερδησας τον κοσμον ολον, εαυτον δε απολεσας η ζημιωθεις;
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26 ος γαρ εαν επαισχυνθη με και τους εμους λογους, τουτον ο υιος του ανθρωπου επαισχυνθησεται οταν ελθη εν τη δοξη αυτου και του πατρος και των αγιων αγγελων.
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 λεγω δε υμιν αληθως, εισιν τινες των ωδε εστηκοτων, οι ου μη γευσωνται θανατου εως αν ιδωσιν την βασιλειαν του θεου.
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.”
28 εγενετο δε μετα τους λογους τουτους ωσει ημεραι οκτω και παραλαβων τον πετρον και ιωαννην και ιακωβον ανεβη εις το ορος προσευξασθαι.
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29 και εγενετο εν τω προσευχεσθαι αυτον το ειδος του προσωπου αυτου ετερον και ο ιματισμος αυτου λευκος εξαστραπτων.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 και ιδου ανδρες δυο συνελαλουν αυτω, οιτινες ησαν μωυσης και ηλιας,
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 οι οφθεντες εν δοξη ελεγον την εξοδον αυτου ην εμελλεν πληρουν εν ιερουσαλημ.
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 ο δε πετρος και οι συν αυτω ησαν βεβαρημενοι υπνω· διαγρηγορησαντες δε ειδον την δοξαν αυτου και τους δυο ανδρας τους συνεστωτας αυτω.
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 και εγενετο εν τω διαχωριζεσθαι αυτους απ αυτου ειπεν ο πετρος προς τον ιησουν· επιστατα, καλον εστιν ημας ωδε ειναι· και ποιησωμεν σκηνας τρεις, μιαν σοι και μιαν μωυσει και μιαν ηλια, μη ειδως ο λεγει.
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 ταυτα δε αυτου λεγοντος εγενετο νεφελη και επεσκιασεν αυτους· εφοβηθησαν δε εν τω εισελθειν εκεινους εις την νεφελην·
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 και φωνη εγενετο εκ της νεφελης λεγουσα· ουτος εστιν ο υιος μου ο αγαπητος· αυτου ακουετε.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
36 και εν τω γενεσθαι την φωνην ευρεθη ο ιησους μονος. και αυτοι εσιγησαν και ουδενι απηγγειλαν εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις ουδεν ων εωρακασιν.
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.
37 εγενετο δε εν τη εξης ημερα κατελθοντων αυτων απο του ορους συνηντησεν αυτω οχλος πολυς.
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
38 και ιδου ανηρ απο του οχλου ανεβοησεν λεγων· διδασκαλε, δεομαι σου, επιβλεψον επι τον υιον μου, οτι μονογενης μοι εστιν·
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 child.
39 και ιδου πνευμα λαμβανει αυτον, και εξαιφνης κραζει και σπαρασσει αυτον μετα αφρου, και μογις αποχωρει απ αυτου συντριβον αυτον·
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 και εδεηθην των μαθητων σου ινα εκβαλωσιν αυτο, και ουκ ηδυνηθησαν.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
41 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν· ω γενεα απιστος και διεστραμμενη, εως ποτε εσομαι προς υμας και ανεξομαι υμων; προσαγαγε τον υιον σου ωδε.
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
42 ετι δε προσερχομενου αυτου ερρηξεν αυτον το δαιμονιον και συνεσπαραξεν· επετιμησεν δε ο ιησους τω πνευματι τω ακαθαρτω, και ιασατο τον παιδα και απεδωκεν αυτον τω πατρι αυτου.
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.
43 εξεπλησσοντο δε παντες επι τη μεγαλειοτητι του θεου. παντων δε θαυμαζοντων επι πασιν οις εποιησεν ο ιησους, ειπεν προς τους μαθητας αυτου·
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 θεσθε υμεις εις τα ωτα υμων τους λογους τουτους· ο γαρ υιος του ανθρωπου μελλει παραδιδοσθαι εις χειρας ανθρωπων.
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
45 οι δε ηγνοουν το ρημα τουτο, και ην παρακεκαλυμμενον απ αυτων ινα μη αισθωνται αυτο, και εφοβουντο ερωτησαι αυτον περι του ρηματος τουτου.
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.
46 εισηλθεν δε διαλογισμος εν αυτοις, το τις αν ειη μειζων αυτων.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
47 ο δε ιησους ιδων τον διαλογισμον της καρδιας αυτων, επιλαβομενος παιδιου εστησεν αυτο παρ εαυτω
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48 και ειπεν αυτοις· ος εαν δεξηται τουτο το παιδιον επι τω ονοματι μου, εμε δεχεται, και ος εαν εμε δεξηται, δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με. ο γαρ μικροτερος εν πασιν υμιν υπαρχων, ουτος εστιν μεγας.
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 αποκριθεις δε ο ιωαννης ειπεν· επιστατα, ειδομεν τινα επι τω ονοματι σου εκβαλλοντα δαιμονια, και εκωλυσαμεν αυτον, οτι ουκ ακολουθει μεθ ημων.
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 και ειπεν προς αυτον ο ιησους· μη κωλυετε· ου γαρ εστιν καθ υμων· ος γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ υμων, υπερ υμων εστιν.
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
51 εγενετο δε εν τω συμπληρουσθαι τας ημερας της αναληψεως αυτου και αυτος εστηριξεν το προσωπον αυτου του πορευεσθαι εις ιερουσαλημ,
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 και απεστειλεν αγγελους προ προσωπου αυτου. και πορευθεντες εισηλθον εις κωμην σαμαρειτων, ωστε ετοιμασαι αυτω·
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53 και ουκ εδεξαντο αυτον, οτι το προσωπον αυτου ην πορευομενον εις ιερουσαλημ.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
54 ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται αυτου ιακωβος και ιωαννης ειπον· κυριε, θελεις ειπωμεν πυρ καταβηναι απο ουρανου και αναλωσαι αυτους, ως και ηλιας εποιησεν;
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 στραφεις δε επετιμησεν αυτοις [και ειπεν· ουκ οιδατε ποιου πνευματος εστε υμεις·]
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56 [ο υιος του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν ψυχας ανθρωπων απολεσαι, αλλα σωσαι.] και επορευθησαν εις ετεραν κωμην.
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
57 εγενετο δε πορευομενων αυτων εν τη οδω ειπεν τις προς αυτον· ακολουθησω σοι οπου εαν απερχη, κυριε.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
58 και ειπεν αυτω ο ιησους· αι αλωπεκες φωλεους εχουσιν και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνωσεις, ο δε υιος του ανθρωπου ουκ εχει που την κεφαλην κλινη.
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 ειπεν δε προς ετερον· ακολουθει μοι. ο δε ειπεν· κυριε, επιτρεψον μοι απελθοντι πρωτον θαψαι τον πατερα μου.
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
60 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους· αφες τους νεκρους θαψαι τους εαυτων νεκρους· συ δε απελθων διαγγελλε την βασιλειαν του θεου.
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
61 ειπεν δε και ετερος· ακολουθησω σοι, κυριε· πρωτον δε επιτρεψον μοι αποταξασθαι τοις εις τον οικον μου.
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 ειπεν δε ο ιησους προς αυτον· ουδεις επιβαλων την χειρα αυτου επ αροτρον και βλεπων εις τα οπισω ευθετος εστιν εις την βασιλειαν του θεου.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.

For that even after his death he had the terror of him in full strength, hear what He saith, "This is John, whom I slew." Now the expression, "I slew," is that of one not exulting, but soothing his own terror, and persuading his troubled soul to call to mind, that he himself slew him.
