9:1

Συνκαλεσαμενος δε τους δωδεκα εδωκεν αυτοις δυναμιν και εξουσιαν επι παντα τα δαιμονια και νοσους θεραπευειν

And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

9:2

και απεστειλεν αυτους κηρυσσειν την βασιλειαν του Θεου και ιασθαι τους ασθενεις

And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

9:3

και ειπεν προς αυτους Μηδεν αιρετε εις την οδον μητε ραβδον μητε πηραν μητε αρτον μητε αργυριον μητε ανα δυο χιτωνας εχειν

And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.

9:4

και εις ην αν οικιαν εισελθητε εκει μενετε και εκειθεν εξερχεσθε

And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.

9:5

και οσοι αν μη δεχωνται υμας εξερχομενοι απο της πολεως εκεινης τον κονιορτον απο των ποδων υμων αποτινασσετε εις μαρτυριον επ αυτους

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.

9:6

Εξερχομενοι δε διηρχοντο κατα τας κωμας ευαγγελιζομενοι και θεραπευοντες πανταχου

And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

9:7

Ηκουσεν δε Ηρωδης ο τετρααρχης τα γινομενα παντα και διηπορει δια το λεγεσθαι υπο τινων οτι Ιωαννης ηγερθη εκ νεκρων

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;

9:8

υπο τινων δε οτι Ηλιας εφανη αλλων δε οτι προφητης τις των αρχαιων ανεστη

and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

9:9

Ειπεν δε Ηρωδης Ιωαννην εγω απεκεφαλισα τις δε εστιν ουτος περι ου ακουω τοιαυτα και εζητει ιδειν αυτον

And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

9:10

Και υποστρεψαντες οι αποστολοι διηγησαντο αυτω οσα εποιησαν Και παραλαβων αυτους υπεχωρησεν κατ ιδιαν εις πολιν καλουμενην Βηθσαιδα

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.

9:11

οι δε οχλοι γνοντες ηκολουθησαν αυτω και αποδεξαμενος αυτους ελαλει αυτοις περι της βασιλειας του Θεου και τους χρειαν εχοντας θεραπειας ιατο

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.

9:12

Η δε ημερα ηρξατο κλινειν προσελθοντες δε οι δωδεκα ειπαν αυτω Απολυσον τον οχλον ινα πορευθεντες εις τας κυκλω κωμας και αγρους καταλυσωσιν και ευρωσιν επισιτισμον οτι ωδε εν ερημω τοπω εσμεν

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.

9:13

Ειπεν δε προς αυτους Δοτε αυτοις υμεις φαγειν Οι δε ειπαν Ουκ εισιν ημιν πλειον η αρτοι πεντε και ιχθυες δυο ει μητι πορευθεντες ημεις αγορασωμεν εις παντα τον λαον τουτον βρωματα

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.

9:14

ησαν γαρ ωσει ανδρες πεντακισχιλιοι Ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας αυτου Κατακλινατε αυτους κλισιας ωσει ανα πεντηκοντα

For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.

9:15

και εποιησαν ουτως και κατεκλιναν απαντας

And they did so, and made them all sit down.

9:16

Λαβων δε τους πεντε αρτους και τους δυο ιχθυας αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον ευλογησεν αυτους και κατεκλασεν και εδιδου τοις μαθηταις παραθειναι τω οχλω

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.

9:17

Και εφαγον και εχορτασθησαν παντες και ηρθη το περισσευσαν αυτοις κλασματων κοφινοι δωδεκα

And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

9:18

Και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον προσευχομενον κατα μονας συνησαν αυτω οι μαθηται και επηρωτησεν αυτους λεγων Τινα με λεγουσιν οι οχλοι ειναι

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?

9:19

Οι δε αποκριθεντες ειπαν Ιωαννην τον Βαπτιστην αλλοι δε Ηλιαν αλλοι δε οτι προφητης τις των αρχαιων ανεστη

And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

9:20

Ειπεν δε αυτοις Υμεις δε τινα με λεγετε ειναι Πετρος δε αποκριθεις ειπεν Τον Χριστον του Θεου

And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

9:21

Ο δε επιτιμησας αυτοις παρηγγειλεν μηδενι λεγειν τουτο

But he charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no man;

9:22

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

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.

9:23

Ελεγεν δε προς παντας Ει τις θελει οπισω μου ερχεσθαι αρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου καθ ημεραν και ακολουθειτω μοι

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.

9:24

ος γαρ αν θελη την ψυχην αυτου σωσαι απολεσει αυτην ος δ αν απολεση την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ουτος σωσει αυτην

For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

9:25

Τι γαρ ωφελειται ανθρωπος κερδησας τον κοσμον ολον εαυτον δε απολεσας η ζημιωθεις

For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?

9:26

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

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.

9:27

λεγω δε υμιν αληθως εισιν τινες των αυτου εστηκοτων οι ου μη γευσωνται θανατου εως αν ιδωσιν την βασιλειαν του Θεου

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.

9:28

Εγενετο δε μετα τους λογους τουτους ωσει ημεραι οκτω και παραλαβων Πετρον και Ιωαννην και Ιακωβον ανεβη εις το ορος προσευξασθαι

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.

9:29

και εγενετο εν τω προσευχεσθαι αυτον το ειδος του προσωπου αυτου ετερον και ο ιματισμος αυτου λευκος εξαστραπτων

And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling.

9:30

και ιδου ανδρες δυο συνελαλουν αυτω οιτινες ησαν Μωυσης και Ηλιας

And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;

9:31

οι οφθεντες εν δοξη ελεγον την εξοδον αυτου ην ημελλεν πληρουν εν Ιερουσαλημ

who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

9:32

Ο δε Πετρος και οι συν αυτω ησαν βεβαρημενοι υπνω διαγρηγορησαντες δε ειδον την δοξαν αυτου και τους δυο ανδρας τους συνεστωτας αυτω

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.

9:33

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

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.

9:34

Ταυτα δε αυτου λεγοντος εγενετο νεφελη και επεσκιαζεν αυτους εφοβηθησαν δε εν τω εισελθειν αυτους εις την νεφελην

And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

9:35

και φωνη εγενετο εκ της νεφελης λεγουσα Ουτος εστιν ο Υιος μου ο εκλελεγμενος αυτου ακουετε

And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.

9:36

και εν τω γενεσθαι την φωνην ευρεθη Ιησους μονος και αυτοι εσιγησαν και ουδενι απηγγειλαν εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις ουδεν ων εωρακαν

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.

9:37

Εγενετο δε τη εξης ημερα κατελθοντων αυτων απο του ορους συνηντησεν αυτω οχλος πολυς

And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

9:38

και ιδου ανηρ απο του οχλου εβοησεν λεγων Διδασκαλε δεομαι σου επιβλεψαι επι τον υιον μου οτι μονογενης μοι εστιν

And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:

9:39

και ιδου πνευμα λαμβανει αυτον και εξαιφνης κραζει και σπαρασσει αυτον μετα αφρου και μογις αποχωρει απ αυτου συντριβον αυτον

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.

9:40

και εδεηθην των μαθητων σου ινα εκβαλωσιν αυτο και ουκ ηδυνηθησαν

And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not.

9:41

Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους ειπεν Ω γενεα απιστος και διεστραμμενη εως ποτε εσομαι προς υμας και ανεξομαι υμων προσαγαγε ωδε τον υιον σου

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.

9:42

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

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.

9:43

Εξεπλησσοντο δε παντες επι τη μεγαλειοτητι του Θεου Παντων δε θαυμαζοντων επι πασιν οις εποιει ειπεν προς τους μαθητας αυτου

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,

9:44

Θεσθε υμεις εις τα ωτα υμων τους λογους τουτους ο γαρ Υιος του ανθρωπου μελλει παραδιδοσθαι εις χειρας ανθρωπων

Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.

9:45

οι δε ηγνοουν το ρημα τουτο και ην παρακεκαλυμμενον απ αυτων ινα μη αισθωνται αυτο και εφοβουντο ερωτησαι αυτον περι του ρηματος τουτου

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.

9:46

Εισηλθεν δε διαλογισμος εν αυτοις το τις αν ειη μειζων αυτων

And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.

9:47

ο δε Ιησους ειδως τον διαλογισμον της καρδιας αυτων επιλαβομενος παιδιον εστησεν αυτο παρ εαυτω

But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,

9:48

και ειπεν αυτοις Ος εαν δεξηται τουτο το παιδιον επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται και ος αν εμε δεξηται δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με ο γαρ μικροτερος εν πασιν υμιν υπαρχων ουτος εστιν μεγας

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.

9:49

Αποκριθεις δε Ιωαννης ειπεν Επιστατα ειδομεν τινα εν τω ονοματι σου εκβαλλοντα δαιμονια και εκωλυομεν αυτον οτι ουκ ακολουθει μεθ ημων

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.

9:50

Ειπεν δε προς αυτον ο Ιησους Μη κωλυετε ος γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ υμων υπερ υμων εστιν

But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

9:51

Εγενετο δε εν τω συμπληρουσθαι τας ημερας της αναλημψεως αυτου και αυτος το προσωπον εστηρισεν του πορευεσθαι εις Ιερουσαλημ

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,

9:52

και απεστειλεν αγγελους προ προσωπου αυτου και πορευθεντες εισηλθον εις κωμην Σαμαριτων ως ετοιμασαι αυτω

and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

9:53

και ουκ εδεξαντο αυτον οτι το προσωπον αυτου ην πορευομενον εις Ιερουσαλημ

And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.

9:54

Ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται Ιακωβος και Ιωαννης ειπαν Κυριε θελεις ειπωμεν πυρ καταβηναι απο του ουρανου και αναλωσαι αυτους

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?

9:55

Στραφεις δε επετιμησεν αυτοις

But he turned, and rebuked them.

9:56

και επορευθησαν εις ετεραν κωμην

And they went to another village.

9:57

Και πορευομενων αυτων εν τη οδω ειπεν τις προς αυτον Ακολουθησω σοι οπου εαν απερχη

And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

9:58

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

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.

9:59

Ειπεν δε προς ετερον Ακολουθει μοι ο Δε ειπεν Κυριε Επιτρεψον μοι απελθοντι πρωτον θαψαι τον πατερα μου

And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

9:60

Ειπεν δε αυτω Αφες τους νεκρους θαψαι τους εαυτων νεκρους συ δε απελθων διαγγελλε την βασιλειαν του Θεου

But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.

9:61

Ειπεν δε και ετερος Ακολουθησω σοι Κυριε πρωτον δε επιτρεψον μοι αποταξασθαι τοις εις τον οικον μου

And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

9:62

Ειπεν δε προς αυτον ο Ιησους Ουδεις επιβαλων την χειρα επ αροτρον και βλεπων εις τα οπισω ευθετος εστιν τη βασιλεια του Θεου

But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
