And Y'shua called his twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and diseases, to heal them.

And he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of Elohim and to heal the sick.

And he said to them, Take nothing for the road, no staff and no wallet and no bread and no silver, and do not have two tunics for yourselves.

And into whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there go out.

And against those who do not receive you, when you go out from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet against them for a testimony.

And the sent ones went out and were going around in the villages and the cities, and were proclaiming and healing in every place.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard all that was happening by his hand, and he was amazed, because some were saying that Yochanan had risen from the house of the dead.

But others were saying that Eliyahu had appeared, and others that a prophet from among the ancient prophets had risen.

And Herod said, The head of Yochanan I cut off; but who is this of whom I hear these things? And he wanted to see him.

And when the apostles returned, they related to Y'shua everything they had done. And he took them aside alone to a deserted place of Beth-Tsayda.

But the crowds, when they knew it, went after him; and he received them, and was speaking with them about the kingdom of Elohim, and those who were in need of healing he was healing.

And when the day began to decline, his disciples drew near and said to him, Dismiss the crowd, that they may go to the villages around us and to the hamlets to lodge in them and find food for themselves, for we are in a deserted place.

Y'shua said to them: You give them to eat. But they say: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we go and buy food for all this people.

For there were about five thousand men. Y'shua said to them: Make them recline in companies, fifty persons in a company.

And the disciples did so, and made them all recline.

And Y'shua took those five loaves and two fishes, and looked toward heaven, and blessed, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before the crowd.

And they all ate and were satisfied, and they took up the fragments that remained, twelve baskets.

And while he was praying alone, and his disciples with him, he asked them and said: Who do the crowds say that I am?

They answer and say to him, Yochanan the Immerser; and others, Eliyahu; and others, that a prophet, one of the first prophets, has risen.

He says to them, But who do you say that I am? Shimon answered and said, The Mashiyach of Elohim.

But he rebuked them and warned them that they should not say this to anyone.

And he said to them that the Son of man is about to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise.

And he was saying before everyone, Whoever wants to come after me must deny himself and take up his cross every day and so come after me.

For whoever wants his life to live loses it; but whoever will lose his life for my sake, this one gives it life.

For what will a son of man be helped if he gains the whole world, but loses his life or is deprived of it?

Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with his holy messengers.

I tell you truly that there are people standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of Elohim.

And it was about eight days after these words that Y'shua took Shimon and Ya'akov and Yochanan and went up a mountain to pray.

And while he was praying, the appearance of his face was changed, and his garments became white and brilliant.

And two men were talking with him, who were Moshe and Eliyahu.

who appeared in glory. And they were speaking about his departure, which was about to be fulfilled in Urishlim.

And Shimon and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they barely awoke, they saw his glory, and those two men who were standing with him.

And when they began to separate from him, Shimon said to Y'shua, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three shelters, one for you, and one for Moshe, and one for Eliyahu. But he did not know what he was saying.

And while he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid when they saw Moshe and Eliyahu enter the cloud.

And a voice came from the cloud that said, This is my beloved Son; listen to him.

And when the voice had been, Y'shua was found alone. And they kept silent, and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

And it was on the day after, when they were coming down from the mountain, a great crowd met them.

And a certain man from that crowd cried out and said, Teacher, I beg you, turn to me. My only son is mine:

and a spirit comes upon him, and suddenly he cries out and gnashes his teeth and foams, and it hardly departs from him when it has crushed him.

And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

But Y'shua answered and said, O faithless and twisted generation, until when will I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.

And while he was bringing him near, that demon threw him down and convulsed him. And Y'shua rebuked that unclean spirit and healed the boy and gave him to his father.

And they were all amazed at the majesty of Elohim. And while everyone was amazed at all that Y'shua did, he said to his disciples:

Set these words in your ears, for the Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of the sons of men.

But they did not understand this word, because it was hidden from them so that they would not know it, and they were afraid to ask him about this word.

And a thought arose among them, which of them was to be the greatest.

But Y'shua knew the thought of their heart, and he took a child and set him beside him,

and said to them: Whoever receives a child like this in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. For the one who is least among all of you, this one will be great.

And Yochanan answered and said, Our Rabbi, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not come with us after you.

Y'shua said to them, Do not forbid, for whoever is not against you is for you.

And it was that when the days of his ascent were fulfilled, he set his face to go to Urishlim.

And he sent messengers before his face, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to prepare lodgings for him.

And they did not receive him, because his face was set to go to Urishlim.

And when Ya'akov and Yochanan his disciples saw it, they said to him, Our Master, do you want that we speak and fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Eliyahu did?

And he turned and rebuked them, and said: You do not know of what spirit you are.

For the Son of man has not come to destroy souls, but to give life them. And they went to another village.

And as they went on the way, a man said to him: I will come after you to the place where you go, my Master.

Y'shua said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have shelters; but the Son of man has nowhere he may lay his head.

And he said to another: Come after me. But he said to him: My Master, allow me first to go bury my father.

Y'shua said to him: Leave the dead to bury their dead, and you go proclaim the kingdom of Elohim.

Another said to him, I will come after you, my Master; but first allow me to go bid farewell to those of my house, and I will come.

Y'shua said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow of the oxen and looks behind him is fit for the kingdom of Elohim.
