Luke.9.28

About eight days after saying this, he climbed the mountain to pray, taking Peter, John, and James along.

Luke.9.28

About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.

Luke.9.28

Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

Luke.9.28

About eight days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John to a mountain to pray.

Luke.9.29

While he was in prayer, the appearance of his face changed and his clothes became blinding white.

Luke.9.29

As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.

Luke.9.29

As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.

Luke.9.29

And as he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothing became dazzling white.

Luke.9.30

At once two men were there talking with him. They turned out to be Moses and Elijah--

Luke.9.30

Two men, Moses and Elijah,

Luke.9.30

And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,

Luke.9.30

Then two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus.

Luke.9.31

and what a glorious appearance they made! They talked over his exodus, the one Jesus was about to complete in Jerusalem.

Luke.9.31

appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.

Luke.9.31

who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

Luke.9.31

They were glorious to see. And they were speaking of how he was about to fulfill God's plan by dying in Jerusalem.

Luke.9.32

Meanwhile, Peter and those with him were slumped over in sleep. When they came to, rubbing their eyes, they saw Jesus in his glory and the two men standing with him.

Luke.9.32

Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

Luke.9.32

But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.

Luke.9.32

Peter and the others were very drowsy and had fallen asleep. Now they woke up and saw Jesus' glory and the two men standing with him.

Luke.9.33

When Moses and Elijah had left, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, this is a great moment! Let's build three memorials: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He blurted this out without thinking.

Luke.9.33

As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.)

Luke.9.33

Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--not knowing what he said.

Luke.9.33

As Moses and Elijah were starting to leave, Peter, not even knowing what he was saying, blurted out, "Master, this is wonderful! We will make three shrines--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Luke.9.34

While he was babbling on like this, a light-radiant cloud enveloped them. As they found themselves buried in the cloud, they became deeply aware of God.

Luke.9.34

While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

Luke.9.34

While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud.

Luke.9.34

But even as he was saying this, a cloud came over them; and terror gripped them as it covered them.

Luke.9.35

Then there was a voice out of the cloud: "This is my Son, the Chosen! Listen to him."

Luke.9.35

A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him."

Luke.9.35

And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!"

Luke.9.35

Then a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him."

Luke.9.36

When the sound of the voice died away, they saw Jesus there alone. They were speechless. And they continued speechless, said not one thing to anyone during those days of what they had seen. [JC]

Luke.9.36

When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen.

Luke.9.36

When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

Luke.9.36

When the voice died away, Jesus was there alone. They didn't tell anyone what they had seen until long after this happened.

Luke.9.37

When they came down off the mountain the next day, a big crowd was there to meet them.

Luke.9.37

The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

Luke.9.37

Now it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him.

Luke.9.37

The next day, after they had come down the mountain, a huge crowd met Jesus.

Luke.9.38

A man called from out of the crowd, "Please, please, Teacher, take a look at my son. He's my only child.

Luke.9.38

A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

Luke.9.38

Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, "Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child.

Luke.9.38

A man in the crowd called out to him, "Teacher, look at my boy, who is my only son.

Luke.9.39

Often a spirit seizes him. Suddenly he's screaming, thrown into convulsions, his mouth foaming. And then it beats him black and blue before it leaves.

Luke.9.39

A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.

Luke.9.39

And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him.

Luke.9.39

An evil spirit keeps seizing him, making him scream. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It is always hitting and injuring him. It hardly ever leaves him alone.

Luke.9.40

I asked your disciples to deliver him but they couldn't."

Luke.9.40

I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not."

Luke.9.40

So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

Luke.9.40

I begged your disciples to cast the spirit out, but they couldn't do it."

Luke.9.41

Jesus said, "What a generation! No sense of God! No focus to your lives! How many times do I have to go over these things? How much longer do I have to put up with this? Bring your son here."

Luke.9.41

"O unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."

Luke.9.41

Then Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."

Luke.9.41

"You stubborn, faithless people," Jesus said, "how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring him here."

Luke.9.42

While he was coming, the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into convulsions. Jesus stepped in, ordered the vile spirit gone, healed the boy, and handed him back to his father.

Luke.9.42

Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

Luke.9.42

And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

Luke.9.42

As the boy came forward, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a violent convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he gave him back to his father.

Luke.9.43

They all shook their heads in wonder, astonished at God's greatness, God's majestic greatness. While they continued to stand around exclaiming over all the things he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples,

Luke.9.43

And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.

Luke.9.43

And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

Luke.9.43

Awe gripped the people as they saw this display of God's power. While everyone was marveling over all the wonderful things he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples,

Luke.9.44

"Treasure and ponder each of these next words: The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into human hands."

Luke.9.44

While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, "Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men."

Luke.9.44

"Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."

Luke.9.44

"Listen to me and remember what I say. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed."

Luke.9.45

They didn't get what he was saying. It was like he was speaking a foreign language and they couldn't make heads or tails of it. But they were embarrassed to ask him what he meant.

Luke.9.45

But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

Luke.9.45

But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

Luke.9.45

But they didn't know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they could not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

Luke.9.46

They started arguing over which of them would be most famous.

Luke.9.46

An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.

Luke.9.46

Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest.

Luke.9.46

Then there was an argument among them as to which of them would be the greatest.

Luke.9.47

When Jesus realized how much this mattered to them, he brought a child to his side.

Luke.9.47

Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.

Luke.9.47

And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him,

Luke.9.47

But Jesus knew their thoughts, so he brought a little child to his side.

Luke.9.48

"Whoever accepts this child as if the child were me, accepts me," he said. "And whoever accepts me, accepts the One who sent me. You become great by accepting, not asserting. Your spirit, not your size, makes the difference."

Luke.9.48

Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest."

Luke.9.48

and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great."

Luke.9.48

Then he said to them, "Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest."

Luke.9.49

John spoke up, "Master, we saw a man using your name to expel demons and we stopped him because he wasn't of our group."

Luke.9.49

"Master," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us."

Luke.9.49

Now John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us."

Luke.9.49

John said to Jesus, "Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons. We tried to stop him because he isn't in our group."

Luke.9.50

Jesus said, "Don't stop him. If he's not an enemy, he's an ally."

Luke.9.50

"Do not stop him," Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you."

Luke.9.50

But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."

Luke.9.50

But Jesus said, "Don't stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you."

Luke.9.51

When it came close to the time for his Ascension, he gathered up his courage and steeled himself for the journey to Jerusalem.

Luke.9.51

As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

Luke.9.51

Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

Luke.9.51

As the time drew near for his return to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

Luke.9.52

He sent messengers on ahead. They came to a Samaritan village to make arrangements for his hospitality.

Luke.9.52

And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him;

Luke.9.52

and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.

Luke.9.52

He sent messengers ahead to a Samaritan village to prepare for his arrival.

Luke.9.53

But when the Samaritans learned that his destination was Jerusalem, they refused hospitality.

Luke.9.53

but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem.

Luke.9.53

But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.

Luke.9.53

But they were turned away. The people of the village refused to have anything to do with Jesus because he had resolved to go to Jerusalem.

Luke.9.54

When the disciples James and John learned of it, they said, "Master, do you want us to call a bolt of lightning down out of the sky and incinerate them?"

Luke.9.54

When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"

Luke.9.54

And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"

Luke.9.54

When James and John heard about it, they said to Jesus, "Lord, should we order down fire from heaven to burn them up?"

Luke.9.55

Jesus turned on them: "Of course not!"

Luke.9.55

But Jesus turned and rebuked them,

Luke.9.55

But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.

Luke.9.55

But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

Luke.9.56

And they traveled on to another village.

Luke.9.56

and they went to another village.

Luke.9.56

For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." And they went to another village.

Luke.9.56

So they went on to another village.
