1 συγκαλεσαμενοσ δε τουσ δωδεκα 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 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 εισ 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 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 βηθσαιδαν
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 ιατο
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 απελθοντεσ 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 αγορασωμεν 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 παρατιθεναι 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 ειπειν 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 αναστηναι
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 ελθειν απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου 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 εαν 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 αν 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 εστωτων 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 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 μωσησ 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 πετροσ προσ τον ιησουν επιστατα καλον εστιν ημασ ωδε ειναι και ποιησωμεν σκηνασ τρεισ μιαν σοι και μιαν μωση 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 εκεινουσ εισελθειν 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 επιβλεψαι επι τον υιον μου οτι μονογενησ εστιν μοι
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 εσται 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 οσ γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ ημων υπερ ημων 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 το προσωπον αυτου εστηριξεν 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 του 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 οιου πνευματοσ εστε υμεισ
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56 ο γαρ 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 αν 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.”

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.
