Han kalte de tolv sammen og ga dem makt og autoritet over alle onde ånder og til å helbrede sykdommer.

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

Så sendte han dem ut for å forkynne Guds rike og for å helbrede de syke.

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

Han sa til dem: Ta ingenting med dere på veien, verken stav, sekk, brød, penger eller ekstra klær.

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

Hvilket hus dere enn kommer inn i, bli der til dere drar videre.

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

Hvis de ikke tar imot dere, bli da ferdig med den byen og rist støvet av føttene deres som et vitnesbyrd mot dem.

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.

Så gikk de ut og vandret gjennom landsbyene, forkynte evangeliet og helbredet overalt.

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

Herodes, landshøvdingen, hørte om alt som skjedde og var svært forvirret fordi noen sa at Johannes var stått opp fra de døde;

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;

andre sa at Elia hadde vist seg; og noen hevdet at en av de gamle profetene var oppstått igjen.

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

Herodes sa: Johannes halshugget jeg, men hvem er denne jeg hører slike ting om? Så ønsket han å se ham.

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

Når apostlene var kommet tilbake, fortalte de alt de hadde gjort. Han tok dem til side til en by som heter Betsaida.

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.

Men folkemengdene fikk vite det og fulgte etter ham. Han tok imot dem, talte om Guds rike og helbredet dem som trengte det.

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.

Da dagen begynte å gå mot slutten, kom de tolv og sa til ham: Send folket bort, så de kan dra til landsbyene rundt her og finne overnatting og mat, for vi er på et øde sted.

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.

Men han sa til dem: Gi dere dem noe å spise. De svarte: Vi har ikke mer enn fem brød og to fisker, med mindre vi går og kjøper mat til alle disse.

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.

Det var omkring fem tusen menn der. Han sa til disiplene: La dem sette seg ned i grupper, omtrent femti i hver gruppe.

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

De gjorde som han sa, og lot alle sette seg.

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

Så tok han de fem brødene og de to fiskene, så opp mot himmelen, velsignet dem, brøt dem opp og ga dem til disiplene for å legge dem framfor folkemengden.

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.

Alle spiste og ble mette, og det som ble til overs ble samlet opp, tolv kurver med brødstykker.

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

En gang var han alene og ba, og disiplene var med ham. Han spurte dem: Hvem sier folkemengdene at jeg er?

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?

De svarte: Johannes døperen; men andre sier Elia, og noen at en av de gamle profetene er stått opp igjen.

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

Han sa til dem: Men dere, hvem sier dere at jeg er? Peter svarte: Guds Messias.

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

Han ga dem streng beskjed og befalte dem å ikke fortelle dette til noen.

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

Han sa: Menneskesønnen må lide mye, bli forkastet av eldste og yppersteprester og skriftlærde, bli drept, og stå opp på den tredje dag.

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.

Han sa til alle: Hvis noen vil følge etter meg, må han fornekte seg selv, ta opp sitt kors daglig og følge meg.

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.

For den som vil redde sitt liv, skal miste det; men den som mister sitt liv for min skyld, skal redde det.

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

Hva gagner det et menneske om han vinner hele verden, men mister seg selv eller skader sin sjel?

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

For den som skammer seg over meg og mine ord, skal Menneskesønnen også skamme seg over når han kommer i sin egen herlighet, og i Faderens og de hellige englers.

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.

Jeg sier dere i sannhet: Noen av dem som står her, skal ikke smake døden før de ser Guds rike.

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.

Omkring åtte dager senere, tok han med seg Peter, Johannes og Jakob, og gikk opp på fjellet for å be.

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.

Mens han ba, forandret hans ansikt seg, og klærne hans ble skinnende hvite.

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

Og se, to menn talte med ham, det var Moses og Elia;

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

de viste seg i herlighet og talte om hans bortgang, som han skulle fullføre i Jerusalem.

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

Peter og de som var med ham, var tunge av søvn; men da de våknet fullt, så de hans herlighet og de to mennene som sto med ham.

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.

Da de var i ferd med å dra fra ham, sa Peter til Jesus: Mester, det er godt for oss å være her. La oss lage tre hytter: en for deg, en for Moses og en for Elia – han visste ikke hva han sa.

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.

Mens han talte, kom det en sky og overskygget dem; og de ble redde da de gikk inn i skyen.

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

Og en stemme kom fra skyen og sa: Dette er min Sønn, den utvalgte; lytt til ham.

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

Da stemmen hadde talt, var Jesus alene. De holdt det hemmelig og fortalte ingen i de dagene om hva de hadde sett.

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.

Dagen etter, da de kom ned fra fjellet, møtte en stor mengde ham.

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

En mann fra mengden ropte og sa: Lærer, jeg ber deg, se på min sønn, for han er mitt eneste barn;

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

en ånd griper ham, og han skriker plutselig; den river og sliter ham så han skummer, og den forlater ham knapt etter å ha påført ham hard medfart.

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.

Jeg ba dine disipler å drive den ut, men de kunne ikke.

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

Jesus svarte: Å, du vantro og vrange slekt, hvor lenge skal jeg være med dere og tåle dere? Bring din sønn hit.

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.

Mens gutten ennå kom, kastet demonen ham ned og slet voldsomt i ham. Men Jesus refset den urene ånden, helbredet gutten og ga ham tilbake til faren.

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.

Alle var forskrekket over Guds storhet. Og mens alle undret seg over alt han gjorde, sa han til disiplene sine:

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,

La disse ordene trenge inn i deres ører: Menneskesønnen skal overgis i menneskers hender.

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

Men de forsto ikke dette, for det var skjult for dem, slik at de ikke kunne fatte det. De våget heller ikke å spørre ham om dette.

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.

Det oppsto en diskusjon blant dem om hvem som var den største.

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

Men når Jesus så deres tanker, tok han et lite barn og stilte det ved siden av seg,

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

og sa til dem: Den som tar imot dette barnet i mitt navn, tar imot meg; og den som tar imot meg, tar imot ham som har sendt meg. For den minste blant dere alle, han er den største.

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.

Johannes svarte: Herre, vi så en mann som drev ut onde ånder i ditt navn, og vi forbød ham fordi han ikke følger med oss.

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.

Men Jesus sa til ham: Forby ham ikke! For den som ikke er mot dere, er for dere.

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

Da tiden nærmet seg for at han skulle bli opptatt, vendte han ansiktet beslutsomt mot Jerusalem.

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,

Han sendte budbringere foran seg, og de gikk inn i en samaritansk landsby for å gjøre alt klart for ham.

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

Men de tok ikke imot ham, fordi han var på vei til Jerusalem.

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

Da disiplene Jakob og Johannes så det, sa de: Herre, vil du at vi skal befale ild om å komme ned fra himmelen og fortære dem?

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?

Men han vendte seg om og refset dem.

But he turned, and rebuked them.

Så dro de til en annen landsby.

And they went to another village.

Mens de gikk på veien, sa en mann til ham: Jeg vil følge deg hvor du enn går.

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

Jesus sa til ham: Reven har hi, og fuglene har reir, men Menneskesønnen har ikke noe sted å hvile sitt hode.

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.

Han sa til en annen: Følg meg. Men han svarte: Herre, la meg først få gå og begrave min far.

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

Jesus svarte: La de døde begrave sine døde; men du, gå ut og forkynn Guds rike.

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

En annen sa: Jeg vil følge deg, Herre; men la meg først ta farvel med dem hjemme.

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

Jesus sa til ham: Ingen som har lagt hånden på plogen og ser tilbake, er skikket for Guds rike.

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