1 And getting the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all evil spirits and over diseases, to make them well.2 And he sent them out to be preachers of the kingdom of God, and to make well those who were ill.3 And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, no stick or bag or bread or money, and do not take two coats.4 And if you go into a house, let that house be your resting-place till you go away.5 And if any people will not take you in, when you go away from that town, put off its dust from your feet for a witness against them.6 And they went away, journeying through all the towns, preaching the good news and making people free from diseases in all places.7 Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead;8 And by some, that Elijah had come; and by others, that one of the old prophets had come back to life.9 And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.10 And the twelve, when they came back, gave him an account of what they had done. And he took them with him and went away from the people to a town named Beth-saida.11 But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it.12 And the day went on; and the twelve came to him and said, Send these people away so that they may go into the towns and the country round about and get resting-places and food for themselves, for we are in a waste place.13 But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people.14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group.15 And they did so, and made them all be seated.16 And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.17 And they all took the food and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits which were over, twelve baskets full.18 And it came about that when he was in prayer, by himself, and the disciples were with him, he put a question to them, saying, Who do the people say I am?19 And they, answering, said, John the Baptist; but others say Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has come back.20 And he said, But who do you say that I am? And Peter, answering, said, The Christ of God.21 But he gave them special orders, not to say this to any man;22 Saying, The Son of man will undergo much and be put on one side by the rulers and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.23 And he said to them all, If any man has a desire to come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross every day, and come after me.24 For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it.25 For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?26 For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.27 But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.28 And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.29 And while he was in prayer, his face was changed and his clothing became white and shining.30 And two men, Moses and Elijah, were talking with him;31 Who were seen in glory and were talking of his death which was about to take place in Jerusalem.32 Now Peter and those who were with him were overcome with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were with him.33 And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.34 And while he said these things, the shade of a cloud came over them, and they were full of fear when they went into the cloud.35 And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.36 And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.37 And on the day after, when they came down from the mountain, a great band of people came to him.38 And a man from among them, crying out, said, Master, I make a request to you, give a thought to my son, for he is my only child:39 And see, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he gives a cry, twisted in pain and streaming at the lips, and when it goes away from him at last, he is marked as from blows.40 And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.41 And Jesus said, O generation without faith and false in heart, how long will I have to be with you and put up with you? let your son come here.42 And while he was coming, he was pushed violently down and twisted by the evil spirit. But Jesus gave sharp orders to the unclean spirit, and made the boy well, and gave him back to his father.43 And they were full of wonder at the great power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,44 Let these words go deep into your ears, for the Son of man will be given up into the hands of men.45 But this saying was not clear to them and its sense was kept secret from them so that they were not able to see it: and they had fear of questioning him about it.46 Now there was a discussion among them about which of them would be the greatest.47 But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their hearts, he took a small child and put him by his side,48 And said to them, Whoever gives honour to this child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour to him who sent me: for whoever is least among you all, that man is great.49 And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.50 But Jesus said to him, Let him do it, for he who is not against you is for you.51 And it came about that when the days were near for him to be taken up, his face was turned to go to Jerusalem,52 And he sent men before: and they came to a small town of Samaria to make ready for him.53 But they would not have him there, because he was clearly going to Jerusalem.54 And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord, may we send fire from heaven and put an end to them?55 But turning round he said sharp words to them.56 And they went to another small town.57 And when they were on the way, a certain man said to him, I will come after you wherever you go.58 And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have resting-places, but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.59 And he said to another, Come after me. But he said, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.60 But he said to him, Let the dead take care of their dead; it is for you to go and give news of the kingdom of God.61 And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.62 But Jesus said, No man, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is good enough for the kingdom of God.

1 Convocatis autem duodecim Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia dmonia, et ut languores curarent. 2 Et misit illos prdicare regnum Dei, et sanare infirmos. 3 Et ait ad illos : Nihil tuleritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, neque panem, neque pecuniam, neque duas tunicas habeatis. 4 Et in quamcumque domum intraveritis, ibi manete, et inde ne exeatis. 5 Et quicumque non receperint vos : exeuntes de civitate illa, etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos. 6 Egressi autem circuibant per castella evangelizantes, et curantes ubique.7 Audivit autem Herodes tetrarcha omnia qu fiebant ab eo, et hsitabat eo quod diceretur 8 a quibusdam : Quia Joannes surrexit a mortuis : a quibusdam vero : Quia Elias apparuit : ab aliis autem : Quia propheta unus de antiquis surrexit. 9 Et ait Herodes : Joannem ego decollavit : quis est autem iste, de quo ego talia audio ? Et qurebat videre eum.10 Et reversi Apostoli, narraverunt illi qucumque fecerunt : et assumptis illis secessit seorsum in locum desertum, qui est Bethsaid. 11 Quod cum cognovissent turb, secut sunt illum : et excepit eos, et loquebatur illis de regno Dei, et eos, qui cura indigebant, sanabat. 12 Dies autem cperat declinare, et accedentes duodecim dixerunt illi : Dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella villasque qu circa sunt, divertant, et inveniant escas : quia hic in loco deserto sumus. 13 Ait autem ad illos : Vos date illis manducare. At illi dixerunt : Non sunt nobis plus quam quinque panes et duo pisces : nisi forte nos eamus, et emamus in omnem hanc turbam escas. 14 Erant autem fere viri quinque millia. Ait autem ad discipulos suos : Facite illos discumbere per convivia quinquagenos. 15 Et ita fecerunt : et discumbere fecerunt omnes. 16 Acceptis autem quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, respexit in clum, et benedixit illis : et fregit, et distribuit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante turbas. 17 Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et sublatum est quod superfuit illis, fragmentorum cophini duodecim.18 Et factum est cum solus esset orans, erant cum illo et discipuli : et interrogavit illos, dicens : Quem me dicunt esse turb ? 19 At illi responderunt, et dixerunt : Joannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero unus propheta de prioribus surrexit. 20 Dixit autem illis : Vos autem quem me esse dicitis ? Respondens Simon Petrus, dixit : Christum Dei. 21 At ille increpans illos, prcepit ne cui dicerent hoc, 22 dicens : Quia oportet Filium hominis multa pati, et reprobari a senioribus, et principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere.23 Dicebat autem ad omnes : Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam quotidie, et sequatur me. 24 Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam : nam qui perdiderit animam suam propter me, salvam faciet illam. 25 Quid enim proficit homo, si lucretur universum mundum, se autem ipsum perdat, et detrimentum sui faciat ? 26 Nam qui me erubuerit, et meos sermones : hunc Filius hominis erubescet cum venerit in majestate sua, et Patris, et sanctorum angelorum. 27 Dico autem vobis vere : sunt aliqui hic stantes, qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei.28 Factum est autem post hc verba fere dies octo, et assumpsit Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et ascendit in montem ut oraret. 29 Et facta est, dum oraret, species vultus ejus altera : et vestitus ejus albus et refulgens. 30 Et ecce duo viri loquebantur cum illo. Erant autem Moyses et Elias, 31 visi in majestate : et dicebant excessum ejus, quem completurus erat in Jerusalem. 32 Petrus vero, et qui cum illo erant, gravati erant somno. Et evigilantes viderunt majestatem ejus, et duos viros qui stabant cum illo. 33 Et factum est cum discederent ab illo, ait Petrus ad Jesum : Prceptor, bonum est nos hic esse : et faciamus tria tabernacula, unum tibi, et unum Moysi, et unum Eli : nesciens quid diceret. 34 Hc autem illo loquente, facta est nubes, et obumbravit eos : et timuerunt, intrantibus illis in nubem. 35 Et vox facta est de nube, dicens : Hic est Filius meus dilectus, ipsum audite. 36 Et dum fieret vox, inventus est Jesus solus. Et ipsi tacuerunt, et nemini dixerunt in illis diebus quidquam ex his qu viderant.37 Factum est autem in sequenti die, descendentibus illis de monte, occurrit illis turba multa. 38 Et ecce vir de turba exclamavit, dicens : Magister, obsecro te, respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi : 39 et ecce spiritus apprehendit eum, et subito clamat, et elidit, et dissipat eum cum spuma, et vix discedit dilanians eum : 40 et rogavi discipulos tuos ut ejicerent illum, et non potuerunt. 41 Respondens autem Jesus, dixit : O generatio infidelis, et perversa, usquequo ero apud vos, et patiar vos ? adduc huc filium tuum. 42 Et cum accederet, elisit illum dmonium, et dissipavit. 43 Et increpavit Jesus spiritum immundum, et sanavit puerum, et reddidit illum patri ejus.44 Stupebant autem omnes in magnitudine Dei : omnibusque mirantibus in omnibus qu faciebat, dixit ad discipulos suos : Ponite vos in cordibus vestris sermones istos : Filius enim hominis futurum est ut tradatur in manus hominum. 45 At illi ignorabant verbum istud, et erat velatum ante eos ut non sentirent illud : et timebant eum interrogare de hoc verbo.46 Intravit autem cogitatio in eos quis eorum major esset. 47 At Jesus videns cogitationes cordis illorum, apprehendit puerum, et statuit illum secus se, 48 et ait illis : Quicumque susceperit puerum istum in nomine meo, me recipit : et quicumque me receperit, recipit eum qui me misit. Nam qui minor est inter vos omnes, hic major est.49 Respondens autem Joannes dixit : Prceptor, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo ejicientem dmonia, et prohibuimus eum : quia non sequitur nobiscum. 50 Et ait ad illum Jesus : Nolite prohibere : qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.51 Factum est autem dum complerentur dies assumptionis ejus, et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret in Jerusalem. 52 Et misit nuntios ante conspectum suum : et euntes intraverunt in civitatem Samaritanorum ut parerent illi. 53 Et non receperunt eum, quia facies ejus erat euntis in Jerusalem. 54 Cum vidissent autem discipuli ejus Jacobus et Joannes, dixerunt : Domine, vis dicimus ut ignis descendat de clo, et consumat illos ? 55 Et conversus increpavit illos, dicens : Nescitis cujus spiritus estis. 56 Filius hominis non venit animas perdere, sed salvare. Et abierunt in aliud castellum.57 Factum est autem : ambulantibus illis in via, dixit quidam ad illum : Sequar te quocumque ieris. 58 Dixit illi Jesus : Vulpes foveas habent, et volucres cli nidos : Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinet. 59 Ait autem ad alterum : Sequere me : ille autem dixit : Domine, permitte mihi primum ire, et sepelire patrem meum. 60 Dixitque ei Jesus : Sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos : tu autem vade, et annuntia regnum Dei. 61 Et ait alter : Sequar te Domine, sed permitte mihi primum renuntiare his qu domi sunt. 62 Ait ad illum Jesus : Nemo mittens manum suam ad aratrum, et respiciens retro, aptus est regno Dei.
