¹[] Συγκαλεσας δε τους δωδεκα μαθητας αυτου, εδωκεν εις αυτους δυναμιν και εξουσιαν κατα παντων των δαιμονιων και να θεραπευωσι νοσους·

¹He called the twelve TR reads “his twelve disciples” instead of “the twelve” together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

²και απεστειλεν αυτους δια να κηρυττωσι την βασιλειαν του Θεου και να ιατρευωσι τους ασθενουντας,

²He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

³και ειπε προς αυτους· Μη βασταζετε μηδεν εις την οδον, μητε ραβδους μητε σακκιον μητε αρτον μητε αργυριον μητε να εχητε ανα δυο χιτωνας.

³He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.

⁴Και εις ηντινα οικιαν εισελθητε, εκει μενετε και εκειθεν εξερχεσθε.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵Και οσοι δεν σας δεχθωσιν, εξερχομενοι απο της πολεως εκεινης αποτιναξατε και τον κονιορτον απο των ποδων σας δια μαρτυριαν κατ' αυτων.

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.”

⁶Εξερχομενοι δε διηρχοντο απο κωμης εις κωμην, κηρυττοντες το ευαγγελιον και θεραπευοντες πανταχου.

⁶They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.

⁷Ηκουσε δε Ηρωδης ο τετραρχης παντα τα γινομενα υπ' αυτου, και ητο εν απορια, διοτι ελεγετο υπο τινων οτι ο Ιωαννης ανεστη εκ νεκρων·

⁷Now 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,

⁸υπο τινων δε οτι ο Ηλιας εφανη, υπ' αλλων δε, οτι ανεστη εις των αρχαιων προφητων.

⁸and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹Και ειπεν ο Ηρωδης· Τον Ιωαννην εγω απεκεφαλισα· τις δε ειναι ουτος, περι του οποιου εγω ακουω τοιαυτα; και εζητει να ιδη αυτον.

⁹Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

¹⁰[] Και υποστρεψαντες οι αποστολοι, διηγηθησαν προς αυτον οσα επραξαν. Και παραλαβων αυτους απεσυρθη κατ' ιδιαν εις τοπον ερημον πολεως τινος ονομαζομενης Βηθσαιδα.

¹⁰The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹Οι δε οχλοι νοησαντες ηκολουθησαν αυτον, και δεχθεις αυτους ελαλει προς αυτους περι της βασιλειας του Θεου, και τους εχοντας χρειαν θεραπειας ιατρευεν.

¹¹But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹²Η δε ημερα ηρχισε να κλινη· και προσελθοντες οι δωδεκα, ειπον προς αυτον· Απολυσον τον οχλον, δια να υπαγωσιν εις τας περιξ κωμας και τους αγρους και να καταλυσωσι και να ευρωσι τροφας, διοτι εδω ειμεθα εν ερημω τοπω.

¹²The 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.”

¹³Και ειπε προς αυτους· Δοτε σεις εις αυτους να φαγωσιν. Οι δε ειπον· ημεις δεν εχομεν πλειοτερον παρα πεντε αρτους και δυο ιχθυας, εκτος εαν υπαγωμεν ημεις και αγορασωμεν τροφας δι' ολον τον λαον τουτον·

¹³But 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.”

¹⁴διοτι ησαν ως πεντακισχιλιοι ανδρες· και ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου· Καθισατε αυτους κατα αθροισματα ανα πεντηκοντα.

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁵Και επραξαν ουτω, και εκαθησαν απαντας.

¹⁵They did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶Λαβων δε τους πεντε αρτους και τους δυο ιχθυας, ανεβλεψεν εις τον ουρανον και ευλογησεν αυτους και κατεκοψε, και εδιδεν εις τους μαθητας δια να βαλλωσιν εμπροσθεν του οχλου.

¹⁶He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷Και εφαγον και εχορτασθησαν παντες, και εσηκωθη το περισσευσαν εις αυτους εκ των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινια.

¹⁷They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁸[] Και ενω αυτος προσηυχετο καταμονας, ησαν μετ' αυτου οι μαθηται, και ηρωτησεν αυτους λεγων· τινα με λεγουσιν οι οχλοι οτι ειμαι;

¹⁸It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁹οι δε αποκριθεντες ειπον· Ιωαννην τον Βαπτιστην, αλλοι δε Ηλιαν, αλλοι δε οτι ανεστη τις των αρχαιων προφητων.

¹⁹They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”

²⁰Ειπε δε προς αυτους· Σεις δε τινα με λεγετε οτι ειμαι; και αποκριθεις ο Πετρος ειπε· Τον Χριστον του Θεου.

²⁰He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²¹Ο δε προσεταξεν αυτους σφοδρως και παρηγγειλε να μη ειπωσιν εις μηδενα τουτο,

²¹But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²²ειπων οτι πρεπει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου να παθη πολλα και να καταφρονηθη απο των πρεσβυτερων και αρχιερεων και γραμματεων, και να θανατωθη και τη τριτη ημερα να αναστηθη.

²²saying, “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.”

²³Ελεγε δε προς παντας· Εαν τις θελη να ελθη οπισω μου, ας απαρνηθη εαυτον και ας σηκωση τον σταυρον αυτου καθ' ημεραν και ας με ακολουθη.

²³He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, TR, NU add “daily” and follow me.

²⁴Διοτι οστις θελει να σωση την ζωην αυτου, θελει απολεσει αυτην· και οστις απολεση την ζωην αυτου ενεκεν ομου, ουτος θελει σωσει αυτην.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

²⁵Επειδη τι ωφελειται ο ανθρωπος, εαν κερδηση τον κοσμον ολον, εαυτον δε απολεση η ζημιωθη;

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁶Διοτι οστις επαισχυνθη δι' εμε και τους λογους μου, δια τουτον ο Υιος του ανθρωπου θελει επαισχυνθη, 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.

²⁷Λεγω δε προς εσας αληθως, Ειναι τινες των εδω ισταμενων, οιτινες δεν θελουσι γευθη θανατον, εωσου ιδωσι 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 the Kingdom of God.”

²⁸[] Μετα δε τους λογους τουτους παρηλθον εως οκτω ημεραι, και παραλαβων τον Πετρον και Ιωαννην και Ιακωβον, ανεβη εις το ορος δια να προσευχηθη.

²⁸It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁹Και ενω προσηυχετο, ηλλοιωθη η οψις του προσωπου αυτου και τα ιματια αυτου εγειναν λευκα εξαστραπτοντα.

²⁹As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

³⁰και ιδου, ανδρες δυο συνελαλουν μετ' αυτου, οιτινες ησαν Μωυσης και Ηλιας,

³⁰Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹οιτινες φανεντες εν δοξη, ελεγον τον θανατον αυτου, τον οποιον εμελλε να εκπληρωση εν Ιερουσαλημ.

³¹who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, literally, “exodus” which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³²Ο δε Πετρος και οι μετ' αυτου ησαν βεβαρημενοι υπο του υπνου· και οτε εξυπνησαν, ειδον την δοξαν αυτου και τους δυο ανδρας τους ισταμενους μετ' αυτου.

³²Now 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.

³³Και ενω αυτοι εχωριζοντο απ' αυτου, ειπεν ο Πετρος προς τον Ιησουν· Επιστατα, καλον ειναι να ημεθα εδω· και ας καμωμεν τρεις σκηνας, μιαν δια σε και δια τον Μωυσην μιαν και μιαν δια τον Ηλιαν, μη εξευρων τι λεγει.

³³It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴Ενω δε αυτος ελεγε ταυτα, ηλθε νεφελη και επεσκιασεν αυτους· και εφοβηθησαν οτε εισηλθον εις την νεφελην·

³⁴While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵και εγεινε φωνη εκ της νεφελης, λεγουσα· Ουτος ειναι ο Υιος μου ο αγαπητος· αυτου ακουετε.

³⁵A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶Και αφου εγεινεν η φωνη, ευρεθη ο Ιησους μονος· και αυτοι εσιωπησαν και προς ουδενα ειπον εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις ουδεν εξ οσων ειδον.

³⁶When 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[] Την δε ακολουθον ημεραν, οτε κατεβησαν απο του ορους, υπηντησεν αυτον οχλος πολυς.

³⁷It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met him.

³⁸Και ιδου, ανθρωπος τις εκ του οχλου ανεκραξε, λεγων· Διδασκαλε, δεομαι σου, επιβλεψον επι τον υιον μου, διοτι μονογενης μου ειναι·

³⁸Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

³⁹και ιδου, δαιμονιον πιανει αυτον, και εξαιφνης κραζει και σπαραττει αυτον μετα αφρου, και μολις αναχωρει απ' αυτου, συντριβον αυτον·

³⁹Behold, 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.

⁴⁰και παρεκαλεσα τους μαθητας σου δια να εκβαλωσιν αυτο, και δεν ηδυνηθησαν.

⁴⁰I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

⁴¹Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους, ειπεν· Ω γενεα απιστος και διεστραμμενη, εως ποτε θελω εισθαι μεθ' υμων και θελω υπομενει υμας; φερε τον υιον σου εδω.

⁴¹Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴²Και ενω αυτος ετι προσηρχετο, ερριψεν αυτον κατω το δαιμονιον και κατεσπαραξεν· ο δε Ιησους επετιμησε το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον και ιατρευσε το παιδιον και απεδωκεν αυτο εις τον πατερα αυτου.

⁴²While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³[] Εξεπληττοντο δε παντες επι την μεγαλειοτητα του Θεου. Και ενω παντες εθαυμαζον δια παντα οσα εκαμεν ο Ιησους, ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου·

⁴³They 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,

⁴⁴Βαλετε σεις εις τα ωτα σας τους λογους τουτους· διοτι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου μελλει να παραδοθη 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.”

⁴⁵Εκεινοι ομως δεν ενοουν τον λογον τουτον, και ητο αποκεκρυμμενος απ' αυτων, δια να μη νοησωσιν αυτον, και εφοβουντο να ερωτησωσιν αυτον περι του λογου τουτου.

⁴⁵But 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.

⁴⁶Εισηλθε δε εις αυτους διαλογισμος, τις ταχα εξ αυτων ητο μεγαλητερος.

⁴⁶There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷Ο δε Ιησους, ιδων τον διαλογισμον της καρδιας αυτων, επιασε παιδιον και εστησεν αυτο πλησιον εαυτου

⁴⁷Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸και ειπε προς αυτους· Οστις δεχθη τουτο το παιδιον εις το ονομα μου, εμε δεχεται, και οστις δεχθη εμε, δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με· διοτι ο υπαρχων μικροτερος μεταξυ παντων υμων ουτος θελει εισθαι μεγας.

⁴⁸and 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.”

⁴⁹Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιωαννης, ειπεν· Επιστατα, ειδομεν τινα εκβαλλοντα τα δαιμονια εν τω ονοματι σου, και ημποδισαμεν αυτον, διοτι δεν ακολουθει μεθ' ημων.

⁴⁹John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁵⁰Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους· Μη εμποδιζετε· διοτι οστις δεν ειναι καθ' ημων, ειναι υπερ ημων.

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹[] Και οτε συνεπληρουντο αι ημεραι δια να αναληφθη, τοτε αυτος εκαμε στερεαν αποφασιν να υπαγη εις Ιερουσαλημ.

⁵¹It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵²Και απεστειλεν εμπροσθεν αυτου μηνυτας, οιτινες πορευθεντες εισηλθον εις κωμην Σαμαρειτων, δια να καμωσιν ετοιμασιαν εις αυτον.

⁵²and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³Και δεν εδεχθησαν αυτον, διοτι εφαινετο οτι επορευετο εις Ιερουσαλημ.

⁵³They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

⁵⁴Ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται αυτου Ιακωβος και Ιωαννης, ειπον· Κυριε, θελεις να ειπωμεν να καταβη πυρ απο του ουρανου και να αφανιση αυτους, καθως και ο Ηλιας εκαμε;

⁵⁴When 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?”

⁵⁵Στραφεις δε επεπληξεν αυτους και ειπε· δεν εξευρετε ποιου πνευματος εισθε σεις·

⁵⁵But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁶διοτι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου δεν ηλθε να απολεση ψυχας ανθρωπων, αλλα να σωση. Και υπηγον εις αλλην 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[] Ενω δε επορευοντο, ειπε τις προς αυτον καθ' οδον· Θελω σε ακολουθησει οπου αν υπαγης, Κυριε.

⁵⁷As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁸Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους· Αι αλωπεκες εχουσι φωλεας και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατοικιας, ο δε Υιος του ανθρωπου δεν εχει που να κλινη την κεφαλην.

⁵⁸Jesus 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.”

⁵⁹Ειπε δε προς αλλον· Ακολουθει μοι. Ο δε ειπε· Κυριε, συγχωρησον μοι να υπαγω πρωτον να θαψω τον πατερα μου.

⁵⁹He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον· Αφες τους νεκρους να θαψωσι τους εαυτων νεκρους· συ δε απελθων κηρυττε την βασιλειαν του Θεου.

⁶⁰But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God.”

⁶¹Ειπε δε και αλλος· θελω σε ακολουθησει, Κυριε· πρωτον ομως συγχωρησον μοι να αποχαιρετησω τους εις τον οικον μου.

⁶¹Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶²Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους· Ουδεις βαλων την χειρα αυτου επι αροτρον και βλεπων εις τα οπισω ειναι αρμοδιος δια την βασιλειαν του Θεου.

⁶²But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
