Luke 9:13-39
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
13But He said to them, 'You give them something to eat!' But they said, 'We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and buy food for all these people.' 14(For there were about five thousand men.) But He said to His disciples, 'Have them recline to eat in groups of about fifty each.' 15They did so, and had them all recline. 16And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and, looking up to heaven, He blessed them and broke them, and gave them to the disciples again and again, to serve the crowd. 17And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve baskets full.
18And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, 'Who do the people say that I am?'
19They answered and said, 'John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.'
20And He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?' And Peter answered and said, 'The Christ of God.'
21But He warned them and instructed them not to tell this to anyone,
22saying, 'The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised on the third day.'
23And He was saying to them all, 'If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, this is the one who will save it.
25For what good does it do a person if he gains the whole world, but loses or forfeits himself?
26For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
27But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.'
28About eight days after these sayings, He took along Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.
29And while He was praying, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing became white and gleaming.
30And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah,
31who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who were standing with Him.
33And as these two men were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, 'Master, it is good that we are here; and let’s make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah'—not realizing what he was saying.
34But while he was saying this, a cloud formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35And then a voice came from the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!'
36And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him.
38And a man from the crowd shouted, saying, 'Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, because he is my only son,
39and a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams, and it throws him into a convulsion with foaming at the mouth; and only with difficulty does it leave him, mauling him as it leaves.
King James Version
Chapter 9
13But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. 14For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. 15And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16Then 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. 17And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am
19They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33And it came to pass, as they departed 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 Elias: not knowing what he said.
34While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
37And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
Christian Standard Bible
14(For about five thousand men were there.) Then he told his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
15They did what he said, and had them all sit down.
16Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them. He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17Everyone ate and was filled. They picked up twelve baskets of leftover pieces.
21But he strictly warned and instructed them to tell this to no one,
22saying, "It is necessary that the Son of Man suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day."
23Then he said to them all, "If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will save it.
25For what does it benefit someone if he gains the whole world, and yet loses or forfeits himself?
26For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and the holy angels.
27Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."
28About eight days after this conversation, he took along Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white.
30Suddenly, two men were talking with him—Moses and Elijah.
31They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32Peter and those with him were in a deep sleep, and when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.
33As the two men were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it’s good for us to be here. Let us set up three shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"—not knowing what he was saying.
34While he was saying this, a cloud appeared and overshadowed them. They became afraid as they entered the cloud.
35Then a voice came from the cloud, saying: "This is my Son, the Chosen One; listen to him!"
37The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
38Just then a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, because he’s my only child.
39A spirit seizes him; suddenly he shrieks, and it throws him into convulsions until he foams at the mouth; severely bruising him, it scarcely ever leaves him.
New Living Translation
14For there were about 5,000 men there. Jesus replied, 'Tell them to sit down in groups of about fifty each.'
15So the people all sat down.
16Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people.
17They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers!
20Then he asked them, 'But who do you say I am?' Peter replied, 'You are the Messiah sent from God!'
21Jesus warned his disciples not to tell anyone who he was.
22The Son of Man must suffer many terrible things,' he said. 'He will be rejected by the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He will be killed, but on the third day he will be raised from the dead.'
23Then he said to the crowd, 'If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me.
24If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
25And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?
26If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
27I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Kingdom of God.'
28About eight days later Jesus took Peter, John, and James up on a mountain to pray.
29And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became dazzling white.
30Suddenly, two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus.
31They were glorious to see. And they were speaking about his exodus from this world, which was about to be fulfilled in Jerusalem.
32Peter and the others had fallen asleep. When they woke up, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with him.
33As Moses and Elijah were starting to leave, Peter, not even knowing what he was saying, blurted out, 'Master, it’s wonderful for us to be here! Let’s make three shelters as memorials — one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.'
34But even as he was saying this, a cloud overshadowed them, and terror gripped them as the cloud covered them.
35Then a voice from the cloud said, 'This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him.'
36When the voice finished, Jesus was there alone. They didn’t tell anyone at that time what they had seen.
37The next day, after they had come down the mountain, a large crowd met Jesus.
38A man in the crowd called out to him, 'Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, my only child.
39An evil spirit keeps seizing him, making him scream. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It batters him and hardly ever leaves him alone.
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
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 are to go and buy food for all these people." 14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each." 15And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
18Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
19And they answered, "John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen."
20Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
21And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."
23And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
24For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
25For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?
26For whoever is 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.
27But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."
28Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white.
30And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,
31who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.
33And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah" — not knowing what he said.
34As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!"
36And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
37On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.
New International Version
14(About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
15The disciples did so, and everyone sat down.
16Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people.
17They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
21Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
22And he said, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life."
23Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
24For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
25What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?
26Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
28About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.
29As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.
30Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus.
31They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.
32Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
33As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.)
34While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him."
36When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.
37The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
38A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.

14For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.”
15And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.
21And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”
23Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
24For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
25For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?

28Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.
30And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,

37Now it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him.
38Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child.
39And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him.
