Evangelium secundum Lucam, 9

1. convocatis autem duodecim apostolis dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia dæmonia et ut languores curarent

1. Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

2. et misit illos prædicare regnum Dei et sanare infirmos

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

3. et ait ad illos nihil tuleritis in via neque virgam neque peram neque panem neque pecuniam neque duas tunicas habeatis

3. And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey; neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.

4. et in quamcumque domum intraveritis ibi manete et inde ne exeatis

4. And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there, and depart not from thence.

5. et quicumque non receperint vos exeuntes de civitate illa etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos

5. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.

6. egressi autem circumibant per castella evangelizantes et curantes ubique

6. And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

7. audivit autem Herodes tetrarcha omnia quæ fiebant ab eo et hæsitabat eo quod diceretur

7. Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in a doubt, because it was said

8. a quibusdam quia Johannes surrexit a mortuis a quibusdam vero quia Helias apparuit ab aliis autem quia propheta unus de antiquis surrexit

8. By some, that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

9. et ait Herodes Johannem ego decollavi quis autem est iste de quo audio ego talia et quærebat videre eum

9. And Herod said: John I have beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

10. et reversi apostoli narraverunt illi quæcumque fecerunt et adsumptis illis secessit seorsum in locum desertum qui est Bethsaida

10. And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.

11. quod cum cognovissent turbæ secutæ sunt illum et excepit illos et loquebatur illis de regno Dei et eos qui cura indigebant sanabat

11. Which when the people knew, they followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them who had need of healing.

12. dies autem cœperat declinare et accedentes duodecim dixerunt illi dimitte turbas ut euntes in castella villasque quæ circa sunt devertant et inveniant escas quia hic in loco deserto sumus

12. Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.

13. ait autem ad illos vos date illis manducare at illi dixerunt non sunt nobis plus quam quinque panes et duo pisces nisi forte nos eamus et emamus in omnem hanc turbam escas

13. But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this multitude.

14. erant autem fere viri quinque milia ait autem ad discipulos suos facite illos discumbere per convivia quinquagenos

14. Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

15. et ita fecerunt et discumbere fecerunt omnes

15. And they did so; and made them all sit down.

16. acceptis autem quinque panibus et duobus piscibus respexit in cælum et benedixit illis et fregit et distribuit discipulis suis ut ponerent ante turbas

16. And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them; and he broke, and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.

17. et manducaverunt omnes et saturati sunt et sublatum est quod superfuit illis fragmentorum cofini duodecim

17. And they did all eat, and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.

18. et factum est cum solus esset orans erant cum illo et discipuli et interrogavit illos dicens quem me dicunt esse turbæ

18. And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am?

19. at illi responderunt et dixerunt Johannem Baptistam alii autem Heliam alii quia propheta unus de prioribus surrexit

19. But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.

20. dixit autem illis vos autem quem me esse dicitis respondens Simon Petrus dixit Christum Dei

20. And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God.

21. at ille increpans illos præcepit ne cui dicerent hoc

21. But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man.

22. dicens quia oportet Filium hominis multa pati et reprobari a senioribus et principibus sacerdotum et scribis et occidi et tertia die resurgere

22. Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day rise again.

23. dicebat autem ad omnes si quis vult post me venire abneget se ipsum et tollat crucem suam cotidie et sequatur me

23. And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

24. qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere perdet illam nam qui perdiderit animam suam propter me salvam faciet illam

24. For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; for he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it.

25. quid enim proficit homo si lucretur universum mundum se autem ipsum perdat et detrimentum sui faciat

25. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, and cast away himself?

26. nam qui me erubuerit et meos sermones hunc Filius hominis erubescet cum venerit in majestate sua et Patris et sanctorum angelorum

26. For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.

27. dico autem vobis vere sunt aliqui hic stantes qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei

27. But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.

28. factum est autem post hæc verba fere dies octo et adsumpsit Petrum et Johannem et Jacobum et ascendit in montem ut oraret

28. And it came to pass about eight days after these words, that he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.

29. et factum est dum oraret species vultus ejus altera et vestitus ejus albus refulgens

29. And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glittering.

30. et ecce duo viri loquebantur cum illo erant autem Moses et Helias

30. And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,

31. visi in majestate et dicebant excessum ejus quem conpleturus erat in Hierusalem

31. Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.

32. Petrus vero et qui cum illo gravati erant somno et evigilantes viderunt majestatem ejus et duos viros qui stabant cum illo

32. But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

33. et factum est cum discederent ab illo ait Petrus ad Jesum præceptor bonum est nos hic esse et faciamus tria tabernacula unum tibi et unum Mosi et unum Heliæ nesciens quid diceret

33. And it came to pass, that as they were departing from him, Peter saith to 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.

34. hæc autem illo loquente facta est nubes et obumbravit eos et timuerunt intrantibus illis in nubem

34. And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they entered into the cloud.

35. et vox facta est de nube dicens hic est Filius meus electus ipsum audite

35. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.

36. et dum fieret vox inventus est Jesus solus et ipsi tacuerunt et nemini dixerunt in illis diebus quicquam ex his quæ viderant

36. And whilst the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen.

37. factum est autem in sequenti die descendentibus illis de monte occurrit illi turba multa

37. And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude.

38. et ecce vir de turba exclamavit dicens magister obsecro te respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi

38. And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one.

39. et ecce spiritus adprehendit illum et subito clamat et elidit et dissipat eum cum spuma et vix discedit dilanians eum

39. And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him.

40. et rogavi discipulos tuos ut eicerent illum et non potuerunt

40. And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

41. respondens autem Jesus dixit o generatio infidelis et perversa usquequo ero apud vos et patiar vos adduc huc filium tuum

41. And Jesus answering, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.

42. et cum accederet elisit illum dæmonium et dissipavit

42. And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down, and tore him.

43. et increpavit Jesus spiritum inmundum et sanavit puerum et reddidit illum patri ejus

43. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to his father.

44. stupebant autem omnes in magnitudine Dei omnibusque mirantibus in omnibus quæ faciebat dixit ad discipulos suos ponite vos in cordibus vestris sermones istos Filius enim hominis futurum est ut tradatur in manus hominum

44. And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

45. at illi ignorabant verbum istud et erat velatum ante eos ut non sentirent illud et timebant interrogare eum de hoc verbo

45. But they understood not this word; and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.

46. intravit autem cogitatio in eos quis eorum major esset

46. And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.

47. at Jesus videns cogitationes cordis illorum adprehendens puerum statuit eum secus se

47. But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,

48. et ait illis quicumque susceperit puerum istum in nomine meo me recipit et quicumque me recipit recipit eum qui me misit nam qui minor est inter omnes vos hic major est

48. And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.

49. respondens autem Johannes dixit præceptor vidimus quendam in nomine tuo eicientem dæmonia et prohibuimus eum quia non sequitur nobiscum

49. And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

50. et ait ad illum Jesus nolite prohibere qui enim non est adversum vos pro vobis est

50. And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.

51. factum est autem dum conplerentur dies adsumptionis ejus et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret Hierusalem

51. And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

52. et misit nuntios ante conspectum suum et euntes intraverunt in civitatem Samaritanorum ut pararent illi

52. And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.

53. et non receperunt eum quia facies ejus erat euntis Hierusalem

53. And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.

54. cum vidissent autem discipuli ejus Jacobus et Johannes dixerunt Domine vis dicimus ut ignis descendat de cælo et consumat illos

54. And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?

55. et conversus increpavit illos

55. And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.

56. et abierunt in aliud castellum

56. The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.

57. factum est autem ambulantibus illis in via dixit quidam ad illum sequar te quocumque jeris

57. And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee withersoever thou goest.

58. et ait illi Jesus vulpes foveas habent et volucres cæli nidos Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinet

58. Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

59. ait autem ad alterum sequere me ille autem dixit Domine permitte mihi primum ire sepelire patrem meum

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

60. dixitque ei Jesus sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos tu autem vade adnuntia regnum Dei

60. And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.

61. et ait alter sequar te Domine sed primum permitte mihi renuntiare his qui domi sunt

61. And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.

62. ait ad illum Jesus nemo mittens manum suam in aratrum et aspiciens retro aptus est regno Dei

62. Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
