1 耶稣召齐十二门徒， 给他们能力、权柄， 制伏一切鬼魔， 医治各样的疾病，
2 差遣他们去宣讲 神的国和医治病人，
3 对他们说： "不要带着什么上路， 不要带手杖， 不要带口袋， 不要带食物， 不要带银钱， 也不要带两件衣服。
4 无论进哪一家， 就住在那里， 直到离开。
5 凡不接待你们的， 你们离开那城的时候， 当把脚上的灰尘跺下去， 作为反对他们的表示。"
6 于是他们就出去， 走遍各乡， 传讲福音， 到处医治病人。
7 分封王希律听见所发生的一切事， 犹豫不定， 因为有人说： "约翰从死人中复活了。"
8 又有人说： "以利亚显现了。"还有人说： "古时的一位先知复活了。"
9 希律说： "约翰已经斩头了， 但这是谁， 我怎么会听到他这些事呢？"就设法要见他。
10 使徒们回来， 把所作的事报告耶稣。他带着他们， 悄悄地退往伯赛大城去。
11 群众知道了， 也跟了去。他接待他们， 向他们讲论 神的国， 医好需要医治的人。
12 天将晚的时候， 十二门徒来到他跟前， 说： "请解散众人， 好让他们往周围的田舍村庄， 去找地方住， 找东西吃， 因为我们这里是旷野。"
13 他说： "你们给他们吃吧！ "他们说： "我们所有的， 不过是五个饼两条鱼， 除非去为这些人另买食物。"
14 原来男人就约有五千。他对门徒说： "叫他们一组一组地坐下， 每组约五十人。"
15 门徒就照他的话， 叫众人坐下。
16 耶稣拿起这五个饼， 两条鱼， 望着天， 祝谢了， 擘开递给门徒， 摆在众人面前。
17 他们都吃饱了， 把剩下的零碎拾起来， 装满了十二个篮子。
18 有一次耶稣独自祈祷的时候， 只有门徒和他在一起。他问他们： "人说我是谁？"
19 他们回答： "有人说是施洗的约翰， 有人说是以利亚， 还有人说是古时的一位先知复活了。"
20 他又问他们： "你们说我是谁？"彼得回答： "是 神的基督！ "
21 耶稣郑重地嘱咐他们， 不要把这事告诉人。
22 又说： "人子必须受许多苦， 被长老、祭司长， 和经学家弃绝、杀害， 第三日复活。"
23 耶稣又对众人说： "如果有人愿意跟从我， 就当舍己， 天天背起他的十字架来跟从我。
24 凡是想救自己生命的， 必丧掉生命； 但为我牺牲自己生命的， 必救了生命。
25 人若赚得全世界， 却丧失自己， 或赔上自己， 有什么好处呢？
26 凡是把我和我的道当作可耻的， 人子在他与父并圣天使的荣耀里降临的时候， 也必把他当作可耻的。
27 我实在告诉你们， 站在这里的， 有人在没有尝过死味以前必定要看见 神的国。"
28 说了这些话以后约有八天， 耶稣带着彼得、约翰和雅各， 上山去祷告。
29 正祷告的时候， 他的面貌就改变了， 衣服洁白发光。
30 忽然有两个人和他谈话， 就是摩西和以利亚。
31 他们在荣光里显现， 谈论他去世的事， 就是他在耶路撒冷将要完成的。
32 彼得和同伴都在打盹。醒过来之后， 就看见他的荣光， 并与他站在一起的那两个人。
33 二人正要离开他的时候， 彼得对耶稣说： "主啊， 我们在这里真好！ 我们可以搭三个帐棚， 一个为你， 一个为摩西， 一个为以利亚。"他根本不知道自己在说什么。
34 他说这话的时候， 有一片云彩笼罩他们， 他们入了云彩， 门徒就害怕起来。
35 有声音从云彩里出来， 说： "这是我的儿子， 我所拣选的（"这是我的儿子， 我所拣选的"有些抄本作"这是我的爱子"）， 你们要听从他！ "
36 声音过了， 只见耶稣独自在那里。在那些日子， 门徒保持缄默， 不把所看见的告诉任何人。
37 第二天， 他们下了山， 有一大群人迎面而来。
38 在人群中有一个人喊叫说： "老师， 求你怜悯我的儿子， 因为他是我的独生子。
39 你看， 污灵一抓住他， 他就忽然喊叫， 并且抽疯， 口吐白沫； 污灵又折磨糟践他， 不肯放过他。
40 我求过你的门徒， 把他赶出去， 他们却办不到。"
41 耶稣说： "唉！ 这不信又乖谬的世代啊！ 我跟你们在一起， 忍受你们， 要到几时呢？把你儿子带到这里来吧！ "
42 那孩子正走过来的时候， 污鬼把他摔倒， 使他重重地抽疯。耶稣斥责那污灵， 把孩子医好， 交给他父亲。
43 众人都惊奇 神的大能。众人还在希奇耶稣所作的这一切时， 他对门徒说：
44 "你们要把这些话存在心里： 人子将要被交在人的手里。"
45 门徒不明白这话， 因为这话的意思是隐藏的， 不让他们明白， 他们也不敢问。
46 后来， 门徒起了意见， 争论谁是最大的。
47 耶稣看出他们的心意， 就领了一个小孩子来， 叫他站在自己旁边，
48 对他们说： "凡因我的名接待这小孩子的， 就是接待我； 凡接待我的， 就是接待那差我来的。谁是你们中间最小的， 那人就是最大的。"
49 约翰说： "主， 我们看见有一个人奉你的名赶鬼， 就禁止他， 因为他不和我们一起跟从你。"
50 耶稣说： "不要禁止他， 因为不反对你们的， 就是赞成你们的。"
51 耶稣被接上升的日子快到了， 他就决意向耶路撒冷去，
52 并且差遣使者走在前头； 他们去了， 进入撒玛利亚的一个村庄， 要为他预备。
53 那里的人不接待他， 因为他面向着耶路撒冷走。
54 他的门徒雅各、约翰看见了， 就说： "主啊， 你要我们吩咐火从天降下来， 烧灭他们吗？"
55 耶稣就转过身来， 责备他们，
56 然后他们就往别的村庄去了。
57 他们走路的时候， 有一个人对他说： "你无论往哪里去， 我都要跟从你！ "
58 耶稣说： "狐狸有洞， 天空的飞鸟有窝， 人子却没有栖身的地方。"
59 他对另一个人说： "你跟从我吧！ "那人说： "主啊， 请准我先回去安葬我的父亲吧。"
60 耶稣说： "让死人去埋葬他们的死人， 你应该去传扬 神的国。"
61 又有一个人说： "主， 我要跟从你， 但容我先回去， 向家人道别。"
62 耶稣说： "手扶着犁向后看的， 不适合进 神的国。"
1 And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats. 4 And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart. 5 And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them. 6 And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead; 8 and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 9 And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida. 11 But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured. 12 And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here in a desert place. 13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people. 14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each. 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake; and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
18 And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am? 19 And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again. 20 And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 21 But he charged them, and commanded them to tell 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 unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray. 29 And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling. 30 And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah; 31 who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 33 And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto 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 Elijah: not knowing what he said. 34 And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him. 36 And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37 And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. 38 And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child: 39 and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely. 40 And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not. 41 And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son. 42 And as he was yet a coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all astonished at the majesty of God.
But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples, 44 Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men. 45 But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest. 47 But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side, 48 and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. 50 But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.
51 And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly 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 were going to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them. 56 And they went to another village.
57 And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58 And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house. 62 But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
