Luke 9

1 फिर उस ने बारहों को बुलाकर उन्हें सब दुष्टात्माओं और बिमारियों को दूर करने की सामर्थ और अधिकार दिया।

2 और उन्हें परमेश्वर के राज्य का प्रचार करने, और बिमारों को अच्छा करने के लिये भेजा।

3 और उस ने उससे कहा, मार्ग के लिये कुछ न लेना: न तो लाठी, न झोली, न रोटी, न रूपये और न दो दो कुरते।

4 और जिस किसी घर में तुम उतरो, वहीं रहो; और वहीं से विदा हो।

5 जो कोई तुम्हें ग्रहण न करेगा उस नगर से निकलते हुए अपने पांवों की धूल झाड़ डालो, कि उन पर गवाही हो।

6 सो वे निकलकर गांव गांव सुसमाचार सुनाते, और हर कहीं लोगों को चंगा करते हुए फिरते रहे॥

7 और देश की चौथाई का राजा हेरोदेस यह सब सुनकर घबरा गया, क्योंकि कितनों ने कहा, कि यूहन्ना मरे हुओं में से जी उठा है।

8 और कितनों ने यह, कि एलिय्याह दिखाई दिया है: औरों ने यह, कि पुराने भविष्यद्वक्ताओं में से कोई जी उठा है।

9 परन्तु हेरोदेस ने कहा, युहन्ना का तो मैं ने सिर कटवाया अब यह कौन है, जिस के विषय में ऐसी बातें सुनता हूं? और उस ने उसे देखने की इच्छा की॥

10 फिर प्रेरितों ने लौटकर जो कुछ उन्होंने किया था, उस को बता दिया, और वह उन्हें अलग करके बैतसैदा नाम एक नगर को ले गया।

11 यह जानकर भीड़ उसके पीछे हो ली: और वह आनन्द के साथ उन से मिला, और उन से परमेश्वर के राज्य की बातें करने लगा: और जो चंगे होना चाहते थे, उन्हें चंगा किया।

12 जब दिन ढलने लगा, तो बारहों ने आकर उससे कहा, भीड़ को विदा कर, कि चारों ओर के गावों और बस्तियों में जाकर टिकें, और भोजन का उपाय करें, क्योंकि हम यहां सुनसान जगह में हैं।

13 उस ने उन से कहा, तुम ही उन्हें खाने को दो: उन्होंने कहा, हमारे पास पांच रोटियां और दो मछली को छोड़ और कुछ नहीं: परन्तु हां, यदि हम जाकर इन सब लोगों के लिये भोजन मोल लें, तो हो सकता है: वे लोग तो पांच हजार पुरूषों के लगभग थे।

14 तब उस ने अपने चेलों से कहा, उन्हें पचास पचास करके पांति में बैठा दो।

15 उन्होंने ऐसा ही किया, और सब को बैठा दिया।

16 तब उस ने वे पांच रोटियां और दो मछली लीं, और स्वर्ग की और देखकर धन्यवाद किया, और तोड़ तोड़कर चेलों को देता गया, कि लोगों को परोसें।

17 सो सब खाकर तृप्त हुए, और बचे हुए टुकड़ों से बारह टोकरी भरकर उठाईं॥

18 जब वह एकान्त में प्रार्थना कर रहा था, और चेले उसके साथ थे, तो उस ने उन से पूछा, कि लोग मुझे क्या कहते हैं?

19 उन्होंने उत्तर दिया, युहन्ना बपतिस्मा देनेवाला, और कोई कोई एलिय्याह, और कोई यह कि पुराने भविष्यद्वक्ताओं में से कोई जी उठा है।

20 उस ने उन से पूछा, परन्तु तुम मुझे क्या कहते हो? पतरस ने उत्तर दिया, परमेश्वर का मसीह।

21 तब उस ने उन्हें चिताकर कहा, कि यह किसी से न कहना।

22 और उस ने कहा, मनुष्य के पुत्र के लिये अवश्य है, कि वह बहुत दुख उठाए, और पुरिनए और महायाजक और शास्त्री उसे तुच्छ समझकर मार डालें, और वह तीसरे दिन जी उठे।

23 उस ने सब से कहा, यदि कोई मेरे पीछे आना चाहे, तो अपने आप से इन्कार करे और प्रति दिन अपना क्रूस उठाए हुए मेरे पीछे हो ले।

24 क्योंकि जो कोई अपना प्राण बचाना चाहेगा वह उसे खोएगा, परन्तु जो कोई मेरे लिये अपना प्राण खोएगा वही उसे बचाएगा।

25 यदि मनुष्य सारे जगत को प्राप्त करे, और अपना प्राण खो दे, या उस की हानि उठाए, तो उसे क्या लाभ होगा?

26 जो कोई मुझ से और मेरी बातों से लजाएगा; मनुष्य का पुत्र भी जब अपनी, और अपने पिता की, और पवित्र स्वर्ग दूतों की, महिमा सहित आएगा, तो उस से लजाएगा।

27 मैं तुम से सच कहता हूं, कि जो यहां खड़े हैं, उन में से कोई कोई ऐसे हैं कि जब तक परमेश्वर का राज्य न देख लें, तब तक मृत्यु का स्वाद न चखेंगे।

28 इन बातों के कोई आठ दिन बाद वह पतरस और यूहन्ना और याकूब को साथ लेकर प्रार्थना करने के लिये पहाड़ पर गया।

29 जब वह प्रार्थना कर ही रहा था, तो उसके चेहरे का रूप बदल गया: और उसका वस्त्र श्वेत होकर चमकने लगा।

30 और देखो, मूसा और एलिय्याह, ये दो पुरूष उसके साथ बातें कर रहे थे।

31 ये महिमा सहित दिखाई दिए; और उसके मरने की चर्चा कर रहे थे, जो यरूशलेम में होनेवाला था।

32 पतरस और उसके साथी नींद से भरे थे, और जब अच्छी तरह सचेत हुए, तो उस की महिमा; और उन दो पुरूषों को, जो उसके साथ खड़े थे, देखा।

33 जब वे उसके पास से जाने लगे, तो पतरस ने यीशु से कहा; हे स्वामी, हमारा यहां रहना भला है: सो हम तीन मण्डप बनाएं, एक तेरे लिये, एक मूसा के लिये, और एक एलिय्याह के लिये। वह जानता न था, कि क्या कह रहा है।

34 वह यह कह ही रहा था, कि एक बादल ने आकर उन्हें छा लिया, और जब वे उस बादल से घिरने लगे, तो डर गए।

35 और उस बादल में से यह शब्द निकला, कि यह मेरा पुत्र और मेरा चुना हुआ है, इस की सुनो।

36 यह शब्द होते ही यीशु अकेला पाया गया: और वे चुप रहे, और कुछ देखा था, उस की कोई बात उन दिनों में किसी से न कही॥

37 और दूसरे दिन जब वे पहाड़ से उतरे, तो एक बड़ी भीड़ उस से आ मिली।

38 और देखो, भीड़ में से एक मनुष्य ने चिल्ला कर कहा, हे गुरू, मैं तुझ से बिनती करता हूं, कि मेरे पुत्र पर कृपा दृष्टि कर; क्योंकि वह मेरा एकलौता है।

39 और देख, एक दुष्टात्मा उसे पकड़ता है, और वह एकाएक चिल्ला उठता है; और वह उसे ऐसा मरोड़ता है, कि वह मुंह में फेन भर लाता है; और उसे कुचलकर कठिनाई से छोड़ता है।

40 और मै ने तेरे चेलों से बिनती की, कि उसे निकालें; परन्तु वे न निकाल सके।

41 यीशु न उत्तर दिया, हे अविश्वासी और हठीले लोगो, मैं कब तक तुम्हारे साथ रहूंगा, और तुम्हारी सहूंगा? अपने पुत्र को यहां ले आ।

42 वह आ ही रहा था कि दुष्टात्मा ने उसे पटक कर मरोड़ा, परन्तु यीशु ने अशुद्ध आत्मा को डांटा और लकड़े को अच्छा करके उसके पिता को सौंप दिया।

43 तब सब लोग परमेश्वर के महासामर्थ से चकित हुए॥

44 परन्तु जब सब लोग उन सब कामों से जो वह करता था, अचम्भा कर रहे थे, तो उस ने अपने चेलों से कहा; ये बातें तुम्हारे कानों में पड़ी रहें, क्योंकि मनुष्य का पुत्र मनुष्यों के हाथ में पकड़वाया जाने को है।

45 परन्तु वे इस बात को न समझते थे, और यह उन से छिपी रही; कि वे उसे जानने न पाएं, और वे इस बात के विषय में उस से पूछने से डरते थे॥

46 फिर उन में यह विवाद होने लगा, कि हम में से बड़ा कौन है?

47 पर यीशु ने उन के मन का विचार जान लिया : और एक बालक को लेकर अपने पास खड़ा किया।

48 और उन से कहा; जो कोई मेरे नाम से इस बालक को ग्रहण करता है, वह मुझे ग्रहण करता है; और जो कोई मुझे ग्रहण करता है, वह मेरे भेजने वाले को ग्रहण करता है क्योंकि जो तुम में सब से छोटे से छोटा है, वही बड़ा है।

49 तब युहन्ना ने कहा, हे स्वामी, हम ने एक मनुष्य को तेरे नाम से दुष्टात्माओं को निकालते देखा, और हम ने उसे मना किया, क्योंकि वह हमारे साथ होकर तेरे पीछे नहीं हो लेता।

50 यीशु ने उस से कहा, उसे मना मत करो; क्योंकि जो तुम्हारे विरोध में नहीं, वह तुम्हारी ओर है॥

51 जब उसके ऊपर उठाए जाने के दिन पूरे होने पर थे, जो उस ने यरूशलेम को जाने का विचार दृढ़ किया।

52 और उस ने अपने आगे दूत भेजे: वे सामरियों के एक गांव में गए, कि उसके लिये जगह तैयार करें।

53 परन्तु उन लोगों ने उसे उतरने न दिया, क्योंकि वह यरूशलेम को जा रहा था।

54 यह देखकर उसके चेले याकूब और यूहन्ना ने कहा; हे प्रभु; क्या तू चाहता है, कि हम आज्ञा दें, कि आकाश से आग गिरकर उन्हें भस्म कर दे।

55 परन्तु उस ने फिरकर उन्हें डांटा और कहा, तुम नहीं जानते कि तुम कैसी आत्मा के हो।

56 क्योंकि मनुष्य का पुत्र लोगों के प्राणों को नाश करने नहीं वरन बचाने के लिये आया है: और वे किसी और गांव में चले गए॥

57 जब वे मार्ग में चले जाते थे, तो किसी न उस से कहा, जहां जहां तू जाएगा, मैं तेरे पीछे हो लूंगा।

58 यीशु ने उस से कहा, लोमडिय़ों के भट और आकाश के पक्षियों के बसेरे होते हैं, पर मनुष्य के पुत्र को सिर धरने की भी जगह नहीं।

59 उस ने दूसरे से कहा, मेरे पीछे हो ले; उस ने कहा; हे प्रभु, मुझे पहिले जाने दे कि अपने पिता को गाड़ दूं।

60 उस ने उस से कहा, मरे हुओं को अपने मुरदे गाड़ने दे, पर तू जाकर परमेश्वर के राज्य की कथा सुना।

61 एक और ने भी कहा; हे प्रभु, मैं तेरे पीछे हो लूंगा; पर पहिले मुझे जाने दे कि अपने घर के लोगों से विदा हो आऊं।

62 यीशु ने उस से कहा; जो कोई अपना हाथ हल पर रखकर पीछे देखता है, वह परमेश्वर के राज्य के योग्य नहीं॥

1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

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

3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

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

6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

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

10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

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

16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

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

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

19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

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

24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

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

26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

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

29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

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

33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto 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 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

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

36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.

38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

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

42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

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

48 And said unto 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 least among you all, the same shall be great.

49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

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

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

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

61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
