Luke 9:32-56

32NowG1161 PeterG4074 and his companionsG3588G4862 1had beenG1510 overcomeG916 with sleepG5258; but when they were fullyG1235 awakeG1235, they sawG3708 His gloryG1391 and the twoG1417 menG435 standingG4921 with Him. 33And as 2theseG846 were leavingG1316 Him, PeterG4074 saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “3MasterG1988, it is goodG2570 for us to be hereG5602; 4let us makeG4160 threeG5140 5tabernaclesG4633: oneG1520 for You, and oneG1520 for MosesG3475, and oneG1520 for ElijahG2243”--6not realizingG3609 whatG3739 he was sayingG3004. 34While he was sayingG3004 thisG3778, a cloudG3507 7formedG1096 and began to overshadowG1982 them; and they were afraidG5399 as they enteredG1525 the cloudG3507. 35ThenG2532 8a voiceG5456 cameG1096 out of the cloudG3507, sayingG3004, “9ThisG3778 is My SonG5207, My ChosenG1586 One; listenG191 to Him!” 36And whenG1722 the voiceG5456 10had spokenG1096, JesusG2424 was foundG2147 aloneG3441. And 11they keptG4601 silentG4601, and reportedG518 to noG3762 oneG3762 in thoseG1565 daysG2250 anyG3762 of the things whichG3739 they had seenG3708.

3712On the nextG1836 dayG2250, when they cameG1096 downG2718 from the mountainG3735, a largeG4183 crowdG3793 metG4876 Him. 38And a manG435 from the crowdG3793 shoutedG994, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, I begG1189 You to lookG1914 at my sonG5207, for he is my 13onlyG3439 boy, 39and a spiritG4151 seizesG2983 him, and he suddenlyG1810 screamsG2896, and it throwsG4682 him into a convulsionG4682 with foamingG876 at the mouth; and onlyG3433 with difficultyG3433 does it leaveG672 him, maulingG4937 him as it leavesG672. 40I beggedG1189 Your disciplesG3101 to castG1544 it out, and they couldG1410 not.” 41And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “You unbelievingG571 and pervertedG1294 generationG1074, howG2193 longG2193G4219 shall I be with you and putG430 up with you? BringG4317 your sonG5207 hereG5602.” 42While he was stillG2089 approachingG4334, the demonG1140 14slammedG4486 him to the ground and threwG4952 him into a convulsionG4952. But JesusG2424 rebukedG2008 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151, and healedG2390 the boyG3816 and gaveG591 him backG591 to his fatherG3962. 43And they were allG3956 amazedG1605 at the 1516greatnessG3168 of GodG2316.

17But while everyoneG3956 was marvelingG2296 at allG3956 that He was doingG4160, He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, 44“Let theseG3778 wordsG3056 sinkG5087 into your earsG3775; 18for the SonG5207 of ManG444 is goingG3195 to be 19deliveredG3860 into the handsG5495 of menG444.” 45But 20they 21did not understandG50 thisG3778 statementG4487, and it was concealedG3871 from them soG2443 that they would not perceiveG143 it; and they were afraidG5399 to askG2065 Him aboutG4012 thisG3778 statementG4487.

4622An argumentG1261 23startedG1525 amongG1722 them as to whichG5101 of them might be the greatestG3173. 47But JesusG2424, 24knowingG3609 25whatG1261 they were thinkingG1261 in their heartG2588, tookG1949 a childG3813 and stoodG2476 him by His sideG3844, 48and saidG3004 to them, “26WhoeverG3739G1437 receivesG1209 thisG3778 childG3813 in My nameG3686 receivesG1209 Me, and whoeverG3739G302 receivesG1209 Me receivesG1209 Him who sentG649 Me; 27for the oneG3588 who is leastG3398 amongG1722 allG3956 of you, thisG3778 is the one who is greatG3173.”

4928JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “29MasterG1988, we sawG3708 someoneG5100 castingG1544 out demonsG1140 in Your nameG3686; and we tried to preventG2967 him becauseG3754 he does not followG190 along with us.” 50But JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “Do not hinderG2967 him; 30for he whoG3739 is not againstG2596 you is 31for you.”

51WhenG1722 the daysG2250 were approachingG4845 for 32His 33ascensionG354, He 34was determinedG4741 35to goG4198 to JerusalemG2419; 52and He sentG649 messengersG32 on aheadG4253G4383 of Him, and they wentG4198 and enteredG1525 a villageG2968 of the 36SamaritansG4541 to 37makeG2090 arrangementsG2090 for Him. 53But they did not receiveG1209 Him, 38becauseG3754 39He was travelingG4198 towardG1519 JerusalemG2419. 54When His disciplesG3101 40JamesG2385 and JohnG2491 sawG3708 this, they saidG3004, “LordG2962, do You wantG2309 us to 41commandG3004 fireG4442 to comeG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772 and consumeG355 them?” 55But He turnedG4762 and rebukedG2008 them, [42and saidG3004, “You do not knowG3609 whatG4169 kindG4169 of spiritG4151 you are of; 56for the SonG5207 of ManG444 did not comeG2064 to destroyG622 men’sG444 livesG5590, but to saveG4982 them.”] And they wentG4198 on to anotherG2087 villageG2968.
