Luke 9

1 Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.

1 Men han sammenkaldte de tolv og gav dem Magt og Myndighed over alle de onde Ånder og til at helbrede Sygdomme.

2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

2 Og han sendte dem ud for at prædike Guds Rige og helbrede de syge.

3 “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.

3 Og han sagde til dem: “Tager intet med på Vejen, hverken Stav eller Taske eller Brød eller Penge, ej heller skal nogen have to Kjortler.

4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.

4 Og hvor I komme ind i et Hus, der skulle I blive og derfra drage bort.

5 If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”

5 Og hvor som helst de ikke modtage eder, fra den By skulle I gå ud og endog ryste Støvet af eders Fødder til Vidnesbyrd imod dem.”

6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.

6 Men de gik ud og droge fra Landsby til Landsby, idet de forkyndte Evangeliet og helbredte alle Vegne.

7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

7 Men Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes hørte alt det, som skete; og han var tvivlrådig, fordi nogle sagde, at Johannes var oprejst fra de døde;

8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

8 men nogle, at Elias havde vist sig; men andre, at en af de gamle Profeter var opstanden.

9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.

9 Men Herodes sagde: “Johannes har jeg ladet halshugge; men hvem er denne, om hvem jeg hører sådanne Ting?” Og han søgte at få ham at se.

10 Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.

10 Og Apostlene kom tilbage og fortalte ham, hvor store Ting de havde gjort. Og han tog dem med sig og drog bort afsides til en By, som kaldes Bethsajda.

11 But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.

11 Men da Skarerne fik det at vide, fulgte de efter ham; og han tog imod dem og talte til dem om Guds Rige og helbredte dem, som trængte til Lægedom.

12 As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”

12 Men Dagen begyndte at hælde. Og de tolv kom hen og sagde til ham: “Lad Skaren gå bort, for at de kunne gå herfra til de omliggende Landsbyer og Gårde og få Herberge og finde Føde; thi her ere vi på et øde Sted.”

13 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

13 Men han sagde til dem: “Giver I dem at spise!” Men de sagde: “Vi have ikke mere end fem Brød og to Fisk, med mindre vi skulle gå bort og købe Mad til hele denne Mængde.”

14 (There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

14 De vare nemlig omtrent fem Tusinde Mænd. Men han sagde til sine Disciple: “Lader dem sætte sig ned i Hobe, halvtredsindstyve i hver.”

15 They did so, and everyone was seated.

15 Og de gjorde så og lode dem alle sætte sig ned.

16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.

16 Men han tog de fem Brød og de to Fisk, så op til Himmelen og velsignede dem, og han brød dem og gav sine Disciple dem at lægge dem for Skaren.

17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

17 Og de spiste og bleve alle mætte; og det, som de fik tilovers af Stykker, blev opsamlet, tolv Kurve.

18 One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

18 Og det skete, medens han bad, vare hans Disciple alene hos ham; og han spurgte dem og sagde: “Hvem sige Skarerne, at jeg er?”

19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”

19 Men de svarede og sagde: “Johannes Døberen; men andre: Elias; men andre: En af de gamle Profeter er opstanden.”

20 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

20 Og han sagde til dem: “Men I hvem sige I, at jeg er?” Og Peter svarede og sagde: “Guds Kristus.”

21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

21 Men han bød dem strengt ikke at sige dette til nogen,

22 “The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

22 idet han sagde: “Menneskesønnen skal lide meget og forkastes af de Ældste og Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge og ihjelslås og oprejses på den tredje Dag.”

23 Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

23 Men han sagde til alle: “Vil nogen komme efter mig, han fornægte sig selv og tage sit Kors op daglig og følge mig;

24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

24 thi den, som vil frelse sit Liv. skal miste det; men den, som mister sit Liv for min Skyld, han skal frelse det.

25 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?

25 Thi hvad gavner det et Menneske, om han har vundet den hele Verden, men mistet sig selv eller bødet med sig selv?

26 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

26 Thi den, som skammer sig ved mig og mine Ord, ved ham skal Menneskesønnen skamme sig, når han kommer i sin og Faderens og de hellige Engles Herlighed.

27 But I tell you truly, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

27 Men sandelig, siger jeg eder: Der er nogle af dem, som stå her. der ingenlunde skulle smage Døden. førend de se Guds Rige.”

28 About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.

28 Men det skete omtrent otte Dage efter denne Tale, at han tog Peter og Johannes og Jakob med sig og gik op på Bjerget for at bede.

29 And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.

29 Og det skete, medens han bad, da blev hans Ansigts Udseende anderledes, og hans Klædebon blev hvidt og strålende.

30 Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.

30 Og se, to Mænd talte med ham, og det var Moses og Elias,

31 They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

31 som bleve set i Herlighed og talte om hans Udgang, som han skulde fuldbyrde i Jerusalem.

32 Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.

32 Men Peter og de, som vare med ham, vare betyngede af Søvn; men da de vågnede op, så de hans Herlighed og de to Mænd, som stode hos ham.

33 As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “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.)

33 Og det skete, da disse skiltes fra ham, sagde Peter til Jesus: “Mester! det er godt, at vi ere her; og lader os gøre tre Hytter, en til dig og en til Moses og en til Elias;” men han vidste ikke, hvad han sagde.

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

34 Men idet han sagde dette, kom en Sky og overskyggede dem; men de frygtede, da de kom ind i Skyen.

35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

35 Og der kom fra Skyen en Røst, som sagde: “Denne er min Søn, den udvalgte, hører ham!”

36 After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.

36 Og da Røsten kom, blev Jesus funden alene. Og de tav og forkyndte i de Dage ingen noget af det, de havde set.

37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.

37 Men det skete Dagen derefter, da de kom ned fra Bjerget, at der mødte ham en stor Skare.

38 Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.

38 Og se, en Mand af Skaren råbte og sagde: “Mester! jeg beder dig, se til min Søn: thi han er min enbårne.

39 A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.

39 Og se, en Ånd griber ham, og pludseligt skriger han, og den slider i ham, så at han fråder, og med Nød viger den fra ham, idet den mishandler ham;

40 I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

40 og jeg bad dine Disciple om at uddrive den; og de kunde ikke.”

41 “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

41 Men Jesus svarede og sagde: “O du vantro og forvendte Slægt! hvor længe skal jeg være hos eder og tåle eder? Bring din Søn hid!”

42 Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

42 Men endnu medens han gik derhen, rev og sled den onde Ånd i ham. Men Jesus truede den urene Ånd og helbredte drengen og gav hans Fader ham tilbage.

43 And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,

43 Men de bleve alle slagne af Forundring over Guds Majestæt. Men da alle undrede sig over alt det, han gjorde, sagde han til sine Disciple:

44 “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

44 “Gemmer i eders Øren disse Ord: Menneskesønnen skal overgives i Menneskers Hænder.”

45 But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

45 Men de forstode ikke dette Ord, og det var skjult for dem, så de ikke begreb det, og de frygtede for at spørge ham om dette Ord.

46 Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.

46 Men der opstod den Tanke hos dem, hvem der vel var den største af dem.

47 But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.

47 Men da Jesus så deres Hjertes Tanke, tog, han et Barn og stillede det hos sig.

48 And 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 whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”

48 Og han sagde til dem: “Den, som modtager dette Barn for mit Navns Skyld, modtager mig; og den, som modtager mig, modtager den, som udsendte mig; thi den, som er den mindste iblandt eder alle, han er stor.”

49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

49 Men Johannes tog til Orde og sagde: “Mester! vi så en uddrive onde Ånder i dit Navn; og vi forbød ham det, fordi han ikke følger med os.”

50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

50 Men Jesus sagde til ham: “Forbyder ham det ikke; thi den, som ikke er imod eder, er for eder.”

51 As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

51 Men det skete, da hans Optagelses Dage vare ved at fuldkommes, da fæstede han sit Ansigt på at drage til Jerusalem.

52 He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

52 Og han sendte Sendebud forud for sig; og de gik og kom ind i en Samaritanerlandsby for at berede ham Herberge.

53 But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.

53 Og de modtoge ham ikke, fordi han var på Vejen til Jerusalem.

54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”

54 Men da hans Disciple, Jakob og Johannes, så det, sagde de: “Herre! vil du, at vi skulle byde Ild fare ned fra Himmelen og fortære dem, ligesom også Elias gjorde?”

55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

55 Men han vendte sig og irettesatte dem*. { [*Flere Håndskrifter tilføje: og sagde: “I vide ikke af hvad Ånd I ere. Thi Menneskesønnen er ikke kommen for at ødelægge Menneskers Sjæle, men for at frelse dem”.] }

56 And He and His disciples went on to another village.

56 Og de gik til en anden Landsby.

57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”

57 Og medens de vandrede på Vejen, sagde en til ham: “Jeg vil følge dig, hvor du end går hen.”

58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

58 Og Jesus sagde til ham: “Ræve have Huler, og Himmelens Fugle Reder; men Menneskesønnen har ikke det, hvortil han kan hælde sit Hoved.”

59 Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

59 Men han sagde til en anden: “Følg mig!” Men denne sagde: “Herre! tilsted mig først at gå hen at begrave min Fader.”

60 But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

60 Men han sagde til ham: “Lad de døde begrave deres døde; men gå du hen og forkynd Guds Rige!”

61 Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”

61 Men også en anden sagde: “Herre! jeg vil følge dig; men tilsted mig først at tage Afsked med dem, som ere i mit Hus.”

62 Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

62 Men Jesus sagde til ham: “Ingen, som lægger sin Hånd på Ploven og ser tilbage, er vel skikket for Guds Rige.”
