Luke 9:8-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
8and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen. 9Herod said, 'I myself had John beheaded; but who is this man about whom I hear such things?' And he kept trying to see Him.
10When the apostles returned, they gave an account to Him of all that they had done. And taking them with Him, He withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.
11But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him; and He welcomed them and began speaking to them about the kingdom of God, and curing those who had need of healing.
12Now the day was ending, and the twelve came up and said to Him, 'Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to eat; because here, we are in a secluded place.'
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,
King James Version
Chapter 9
8And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 9And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
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:

8some that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the ancient prophets had risen. 9"I beheaded John," Herod said, "but who is this I hear such things about?" And he wanted to see him.
10When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus all that they had done. He took them along and withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.
11When the crowds found out, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
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."
New Living Translation
10When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he slipped quietly away with them toward the town of Bethsaida.
11But the crowds found out where he was going, and they followed him. He welcomed them and taught them about the Kingdom of God, and he healed those who were sick.
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.'

8by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen. 9Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he sought to see him.
10On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida.
11When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing.
12Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place."
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?"

8others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. 9But Herod said, "I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?" And he tried to see him.
10When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,
11but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
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.
