Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples
(Matthew 10.5-15Mark 6.7-13)1 Jesus called the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases. 2 Then he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick, 3 after saying to them, “Take nothing with you for the trip: no walking stick, no beggar's bag, no food, no money, not even an extra shirt. 4 Wherever you are welcomed, stay in the same house until you leave that town; 5 wherever people don't welcome you, leave that town and shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them.”
6 The disciples left and traveled through all the villages, preaching the Good News and healing people everywhere.
Herod's Confusion
(Matthew 14.1-12Mark 6.14-29)7 When Herod, the ruler of Galilee, heard about all the things that were happening, he was very confused, because some people were saying that John the Baptist had come back to life. 8 Others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. 9 Herod said, “I had John's head cut off; but who is this man I hear these things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
(Matthew 14.13-21Mark 6.30-44John 6.1-14)10 The apostles came back and told Jesus everything they had done. He took them with him, and they went off by themselves to a town named Bethsaida. 11 When the crowds heard about it, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the Kingdom of God, and healed those who needed it.
12 When the sun was beginning to set, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “Send the people away so that they can go to the villages and farms around here and find food and lodging, because this is a lonely place.”
13 But Jesus said to them, “You yourselves give them something to eat.”
They answered, “All we have are five loaves and two fish. Do you want us to go and buy food for this whole crowd?” 14 (There were about five thousand men there.)
Jesus said to his disciples, “Make the people sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 After the disciples had done so, 16 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, thanked God for them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and had enough, and the disciples took up twelve baskets of what was left over.
Peter's Declaration about Jesus
(Matthew 16.13-19Mark 8.27-29)18 One day when Jesus was praying alone, the disciples came to him. “Who do the crowds say I am?” he asked them.
19 “Some say that you are John the Baptist,” they answered. “Others say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”
20 “What about you?” he asked them. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “You are God's Messiah.”
Jesus Speaks about His Suffering and Death
(Matthew 16.20-28Mark 8.30—9.1)21 Then Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell this to anyone. 22 He also told them, “The Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law. He will be put to death, but three days later he will be raised to life.”
23 And he said to them all, “If you want to come with me, you must forget yourself, take up your cross every day, and follow me. 24 For if you want to save your own life, you will lose it, but if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it. 25 Will you gain anything if you win the whole world but are yourself lost or defeated? Of course not! 26 If you are ashamed of me and of my teaching, then the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 I assure you that there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Kingdom of God.”
The Transfiguration
(Matthew 17.1-8Mark 9.2-8)28 About a week after he had said these things, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a hill to pray. 29 While he was praying, his face changed its appearance, and his clothes became dazzling white. 30 Suddenly two men were there talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in heavenly glory and talked with Jesus about the way in which he would soon fulfill God's purpose by dying in Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were sound asleep, but they woke up and saw Jesus' glory and the two men who were standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, how good it is that we are here! We will make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not really know what he was saying.)
34 While he was still speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them with its shadow; and the disciples were afraid as the cloud came over them. 35 A voice said from the cloud, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen—listen to him!”
36 When the voice stopped, there was Jesus all alone. The disciples kept quiet about all this and told no one at that time anything they had seen.
Jesus Heals a Boy with an Evil Spirit
(Matthew 17.14-18Mark 9.14-27)37 The next day Jesus and the three disciples went down from the hill, and a large crowd met Jesus. 38 A man shouted from the crowd, “Teacher! I beg you, look at my son—my only son! 39 A spirit attacks him with a sudden shout and throws him into a fit, so that he foams at the mouth; it keeps on hurting him and will hardly let him go! 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't.”
41 Jesus answered, “How unbelieving and wrong you people are! How long must I stay with you? How long do I have to put up with you?” Then he said to the man, “Bring your son here.”
42 As the boy was coming, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a fit. Jesus gave a command to the evil spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43 All the people were amazed at the mighty power of God.
Jesus Speaks Again about His Death
(Matthew 17.22Matthew 23Mark 9.30-32)The people were still marveling at everything Jesus was doing, when he said to his disciples, 44 “Don't forget what I am about to tell you! The Son of Man is going to be handed over to the power of human beings.” 45 But the disciples did not know what this meant. It had been hidden from them so that they could not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about the matter.
Who Is the Greatest?
(Matthew 18.1-5Mark 9.33-37)46 An argument broke out among the disciples as to which one of them was the greatest. 47 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he took a child, stood him by his side, 48 and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, also welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among you all is the greatest.”
Whoever Is Not against You Is for You
(Mark 9.38-40)49 John spoke up, “Master, we saw a man driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn't belong to our group.”
50 “Do not try to stop him,” Jesus said to him and to the other disciples, “because whoever is not against you is for you.”
A Samaritan Village Refuses to Receive Jesus
51 As the time drew near when Jesus would be taken up to heaven, he made up his mind and set out on his way to Jerusalem. 52 He sent messengers ahead of him, who went into a village in Samaria to get everything ready for him. 53 But the people there would not receive him, because it was clear that he was on his way to Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?”
55 Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then Jesus and his disciples went on to another village.
The Would-Be Followers of Jesus
(Matthew 8.19-22)57 As they went on their way, a man said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lie down and rest.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”
But that man said, “Sir, first let me go back and bury my father.”
60 Jesus answered, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.”
61 Someone else said, “I will follow you, sir; but first let me go and say good-bye to my family.”
62 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who starts to plow and then keeps looking back is of no use for the Kingdom of God.”

K. Jezus syuta apostolus.
1 Sasaucis kūpā divpadsmit (apostolu), īdeve jim varu un spāku izdzeit valnus un dareit vasalus sliminīkus. 2 Tad syuteja jūs Dīva vaļsteibas sludynōtu un sliminīkus vasalus dareitu. 3 Kai ari jim saceja: Najemit nikō laidza ceļā: ni vāzdas, ni kules, ni maizes, ni naudas; najemit leidza ari diveju svōrku. 4 Kad jyus īīsit kaidā mōjā, tad palicit tur un naejit tōļōk. 5 Jo jyusu napījimtu, tad, ejūt ōrā nu tō mīsteņa, pat putekli nūkrotit nu sovom kōjom, līceibai pret jim.
6 Pīsacāluši jī gōja pa solom, sludynōja Evangeliju un dareja vasalus sliminīkus.
Eroda namīrs.
7 Tetrarcha Erods, izdzērdis par vysu, palyka namīreigs, jo daži apgolvōja, ka Jōņs asūt pīsacēlis nu myrūnim, 8 citi otkon, ka asūt atsadzeivynōjis kaids senejais (pravīts). 9 Erods saceja: Es pavēlēju Jōņam nūcērst golvu, bet kas ir tys, par kuru es taidas breineigas lītas dzēržu? Tai tad, gribēja Jū redzēt.
10 Atgōjuši atpakaļ, apostoli pastōsteja Jezum vysu, kū beja padarejuši.
Breineiga maizes pavairōšona.
Tad Jys, pajēmis jūs leidza, aizgōja uz kaidu vīntuleigu vītu, natōli nu mīsteņa, kurs saucēs Betsaida. 11 Izzynōjuši par tū, ļaužu pulki gōja Jam pakaļ. Jys tūs pījēme, stōsteja tim par Dīva vaļsteibu un dareja vasalus vysus, kam vīn izveseļōšona beja vajadzeiga.
12 Jau natōļ beja vokors, tōdēļ tad divpadsmit pīgōjuši Jam klōt, saceja: Palaid ļaužu pulkus, lai īt uz tyvōkajom solom un mōjom pajumtes un bareibas maklātu, mes tadei te asam tukšā vītā. 13 Bet Jys atbiļdēja: Dūdit jyus jim ēst. Tī atbiļdēja: Mums ir tikai pīci maizes kukuli un divi zivis; mums tad byutu jōīt, un dēļ vysa ļaužu pulka jōpērk bareiba. 14 Beja apmāram pīcas tyukstūšas cylvāku.
Tad Jys sovim mōceklim saceja: Sasādynojit jūs puļceņūs (apmāram) pa pīcdesmit. 15 Jī tai padareja, sasādynōja vysus. 16 Tad Jys, pajēmis pīcus maizes kukuļus un divi zivis, pacēlis acis uz dabasim, jūs nūsvēteja, salauzeja un izdaleja mōceklim, lai jī izdaleitu ļaudim. 17 Visi ēde un palyka seiti. Pōri palykušūs gabaleņu pīlaseja vēļ divpadsmit peitnīku.
Pītera izzeišona.
18 Un nūtyka, kad (Jezus) vīntuleibā lyudzēs, leidza ar Jū beja mōcekli. Un Jys tūs vaicōja saceidams: Par kū Mani skaita ļaudis? 19 Jī atbyldādami saceja: Daži par Jōni Kristeitōju, citi par Eliasu, citi otkon par vīnu nu ogrōkajim pravīšim, kas asūt nu myrūnim cēlīs. 20 Tad Jys saceja: Par kū jyus Mani skaitat? Pīters atbiļdēja: Par Dīva Apsvaideitū. 21 Tad Jys stipri nūlīdze, ka tō nikam nasaceitu.
K. Jezus īprīkš pasludynoj sovas cīsšonas.
22 Jys pībylda: Cylvāka Dālam byus daudzi jōcīš nu tautas vacōkūs, vērsgoreidznīku un Rokstim mōceitūs; jōbyun atmastam, jōpōrnas nōve, bet trešā dīnā jōsaceļ augšan.
K. Jezum pakaļ īšona.
23 Tad Jys visim saceja: Kas grib īt Maņ pakaļ, lai aizalīdz pats sevis, lai jam un nas sovu krystu ikdīnas un īt Maņ pakaļ. 24 Tai tad, jo kas grybātu izglōbt sovu dvēseli, tys jū pazaudēs; bet, jo kas sovu dvēseli Manis dēļ pazaudātu, tys jū izglōbs. 25 Kaids tad cylvākam byutu lobums, jo jys īmontōtu vysu pasauli, bet pats sevi pazaudātu, vai sev kaitātu? 26 Tai tad, kas Manis vai munu vōrdu kaunīs, tō ari kaunēsīs Cylvāka Dāls, kad atīs Tāva un svātūs eņgeļu gūdā. 27 Patīši, tad Es jums soku: Daži nu te asūšim nabaudeis nōves, koleidz naīraudzeis Dīva vaļsteibas.
K. Jezus pōrsameišona.
28 Pēc apmāram ostoņom dīnom nu šō laika Jezus pajēme ar sevi Pīteri, Jākubu un Jōni un uzkōpe uz kolna lyugtūs. 29 Lyugšonas laikā pōrsameja Jō vaiga izskots, un Jō drēbes palyka speidūši boltas. 30 Un raug, ar Jū runōjōs divi veirīši. Tī beja Moizešs un Eliass. 31 Jī, pasarōdeidami sovā gūdā, runōja par gola iznōkumu, kas Jam beja Jeruzalemā jōizpylda.
32 Pīteri un leidzgōjējus apjēme mīgs. Pōrvarējuši mīgu, īraudzeja Jō un tūs diveju veiru gūdu, kas pi Jō stōvēja. 33 Kad jī taisejōs īt prūjom, Pīters saceja Jezum: Mōceitōj, mums ir labi te byut; pagatavōsim te trejs nūmetnes: Tev vīnu, Moizešam vīnu un Eliasam vīnu. Jys nazynōja pats kū runoj. 34 Jam šūs vōrdus runojūt, pasacēle mōkūņs un jūs apsedze. Tim īejūt mōkūnī, jī nūsabeida. 35 Un nu mōkūņa atskanēja bolss: Šys ir muns nūmīļōtais Dāls, — Jō klausit. 36 Atskanūt bolsam, Jezus palyka vīns pats. Jī par tū klusēja un tamā laikā nikam nastōsteja.
K. Jezus padora vasalu jaunēkli.
37 Kad jī nōkušā reitā kōpe nu kolna zemē, Jam aizgōja prīškā lels ļaužu pulks.
38 Un raug, nu pulka kaids īsasauce: Mōceitōj, pasaver uz muna dāla, jys tadei ir maņ vīneigais dāls. 39 Jū sagrōb gors, un jys klīdz, tys jū paraun pi zemes un rausta leidz putom un, vysā nūvōrdzynōjis, nagrib jō pamest. 40 Es gon lyudžu tovu mōcekļu, ka tū izdzeitu, bet jī navarēja. 41 Bet Jezus atsauce un saceja: Ak tu, bezticeigō un izvyrtušō ciļts! Leidz kuram laikam Maņ ir jōpalīk pi Jums un jyusus jōcīš? Ved šur sovu dālu!
42 Ejūt klōt, valns vys vēļ jū rausteja un vōrdzynōja (pa zemi). Jezus nūrōja naškeistū goru, puisānu padareja vasalu un atdeve jō tāvam. 43 Tad visi breinōjōs Dīva vareibai.
K. Jezus īprīkš pasludynoj sovas cīsšonas.
Kad visi apbreinōja Jō dorbus, Jezus saceja sovim mōceklim: 44 Paturit prōtā cīši šūs vōrdus: Cylvāka Dāls tiks nūdūts cylvāku rūkōs. 45 Šytūs vōrdu jī nasaprota, jo tī beja dēļ jim kai nūslāpti, lai nasaprostu; tūmār beidōs par jim nu Jō vaicōt.
Streidi storp apostolim.
46 Storp jim izacēle dūmas, kas nu jim byutu tys lelōkais. 47 Jezus, zynōdams jūs siržu dūmas, pajēme pi sevis bārnu un jim saceja: 48 Kas pījims munā vōrdā šytū bārnu, tys pījims Mani, bet kas Mani pījims, tys pījims Tū, kas Mani syuteja. Tai tad, kas jyusu vydā ir pats mozōkais, tys ir tys lelōkais.
49 Jōņs atsasauce: Mōceitōj, mes redzējom, kai vīns Tovā vōrdā dzyna ōrā ļaunūs gorus. Mes jam tū nūlīdzem, jo jys naīt ar mums pēc Tevis. 50 Jezus jam atbiļdēja: Nalīdzit, tadei kas nav pret jums, tys ir ar jums.
Samarīši līdz K. Jezum nakts mōjas.
51 Tyvojūtīs škēršonōs dīnom, Jys nagrūzami nūlēme īt uz Jeruzalemu un īprīkš izsyuteja syutņus. 52 Tī laidēs ceļā un īgōja vīnā samarīšu mīsteņā Jam naktsmōju sagatavōtu. 53 Bet tur Jō nepījēme, jo Jys gōja uz Jeruzalemas pusi. 54 Tū radzādami, Jō mōcekli Jākubs un Jōņs saceja: Kungs, gribi, ka mes lyktu nu debesim nūīt gunei un jūs apreit? 55 Bet Jys atsagrīzis nūlīdze jim saceidams: Jyus nazynat, kaida gora jyus asat! 56 Cylvāka Dāls tadei naatgōja ļaužu dvēseļu pazudynōtu, bet gon izglōbtu.
57 Un jī aizgōja uz cytu mīstu.
Vīnu atraida, ūtru aicynoj īt sev pakaļ.
Ejūt pa ceļu, kaids Jam saceja: Kungs, es īšu Tev pakaļ, lai Tu ītu kur īdams. 58 Bet Jezus tam atbiļdēja: Lopsom ir olas, gaisa putnim perekli, bet Cylvāka Dālam navā kur golvu nūlikt.
59 Ūtrū, turpretim, aicynōja: Ej Maņ pakaļ! Bet tys atbiļdēja: Kungs, atļauņ maņ pyrms nūīt sova tāva paglobōtu. 60 Bet (Jezus) atbiļdēja: Pamet myrušajim jūs myrūņu globōšonu, bet tu ej un sludynoj Dīva vaļsteibu.
61 Cyts otkon atsasauce: Kungs, es īšu Tev pakaļ, tik atļauņ maņ atsasveicynōt ar sovim sētnīkim. 62 Bet Jezus tam saceja: Kas pīlicis pi orkla rūku, otkon atpakaļ skotōs, tys Dīva vaļsteibai nader.
