36. 36BYZκαι εν τω γενεσθαι την φωνην ευρεθη ο ιησουσ μονοσ και αυτοι εσιγησαν και ουδενι απηγγειλαν εν εκειναισ ταισ ημεραισ ουδεν ων εωρακασινBSBBSB: 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.
37. 37BYZεγενετο δε εν τη εξησ ημερα κατελθοντων αυτων απο του ορουσ συνηντησεν αυτω οχλοσ πολυσBSBBSB: The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.

41. 41BYZαποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν ω γενεα απιστοσ και διεστραμμενη εωσ ποτε εσομαι προσ υμασ και ανεξομαι υμων προσαγαγε τον υιον σου ωδεBSBBSB: “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42. 42BYZετι δε προσερχομενου αυτου ερρηξεν αυτον το δαιμονιον και συνεσπαραξεν επετιμησεν δε ο ιησουσ τω πνευματι τω ακαθαρτω και ιασατο τον παιδα και απεδωκεν αυτον τω πατρι αυτουBSBBSB: 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.

44. 44BYZθεσθε υμεισ εισ τα ωτα υμων τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ ο γαρ υιοσ του ανθρωπου μελλει παραδιδοσθαι εισ χειρασ ανθρωπωνBSBBSB: “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”
45. 45BYZοι δε ηγνοουν το ρημα τουτο και ην παρακεκαλυμμενον απ αυτων ινα μη αισθωνται αυτο και εφοβουντο ερωτησαι αυτον περι του ρηματοσ τουτουBSBBSB: 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.
46. 46BYZεισηλθεν δε διαλογισμοσ εν αυτοισ το τισ αν ειη μειζων αυτωνBSBBSB: Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
47. 47BYZο δε ιησουσ ιδων τον διαλογισμον τησ καρδιασ αυτων επιλαβομενοσ παιδιου εστησεν αυτο παρ εαυτωBSBBSB: But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.
48. 48BYZκαι ειπεν αυτοισ οσ εαν δεξηται τουτο το παιδιον επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται και οσ εαν εμε δεξηται δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με ο γαρ μικροτεροσ εν πασιν υμιν υπαρχων ουτοσ εσται μεγασBSBBSB: 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.”
49. 49BYZαποκριθεισ δε ο ιωαννησ ειπεν επιστατα ειδομεν τινα επι τω ονοματι σου εκβαλλοντα δαιμονια και εκωλυσαμεν αυτον οτι ουκ ακολουθει μεθ ημωνBSBBSB: “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
50. 50BYZκαι ειπεν προσ αυτον ο ιησουσ μη κωλυετε οσ γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ ημων υπερ ημων εστινBSBBSB: “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
51. 51BYZεγενετο δε εν τω συμπληρουσθαι τασ ημερασ τησ αναληψεωσ αυτου και αυτοσ το προσωπον αυτου εστηριξεν του πορευεσθαι εισ ιερουσαλημBSBBSB: As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
52. 52BYZκαι απεστειλεν αγγελουσ προ προσωπου αυτου και πορευθεντεσ εισηλθον εισ κωμην σαμαρειτων ωστε ετοιμασαι αυτωBSBBSB: He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.
53. 53BYZκαι ουκ εδεξαντο αυτον οτι το προσωπον αυτου ην πορευομενον εισ ιερουσαλημBSBBSB: But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
54. 54BYZιδοντεσ δε οι μαθηται αυτου ιακωβοσ και ιωαννησ ειπον κυριε θελεισ ειπωμεν πυρ καταβηναι απο του ουρανου και αναλωσαι αυτουσ ωσ και ηλιασ εποιησενBSBBSB: When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
55. 55BYZστραφεισ δε επετιμησεν αυτοισ και ειπεν ουκ οιδατε οιου πνευματοσ εστε υμεισBSBBSB: But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56. 56BYZο γαρ υιοσ του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν ψυχασ ανθρωπων απολεσαι αλλα σωσαι και επορευθησαν εισ ετεραν κωμηνBSBBSB: And He and His disciples went on to another village.
57. 57BYZεγενετο δε πορευομενων αυτων εν τη οδω ειπεν τισ προσ αυτον ακολουθησω σοι οπου αν απερχη κυριεBSBBSB: As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
58. 58BYZκαι ειπεν αυτω ο ιησουσ αι αλωπεκεσ φωλεουσ εχουσιν και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνωσεισ ο δε υιοσ του ανθρωπου ουκ εχει που την κεφαλην κλινηBSBBSB: Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
59. 59BYZειπεν δε προσ ετερον ακολουθει μοι ο δε ειπεν κυριε επιτρεψον μοι απελθοντι πρωτον θαψαι τον πατερα μουBSBBSB: Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60. 60BYZειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησουσ αφεσ τουσ νεκρουσ θαψαι τουσ εαυτων νεκρουσ συ δε απελθων διαγγελλε την βασιλειαν του θεουBSBBSB: But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61. 61BYZειπεν δε και ετεροσ ακολουθησω σοι κυριε πρωτον δε επιτρεψον μοι αποταξασθαι τοισ εισ τον οικον μουBSBBSB: Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”
62. 62BYZειπεν δε ο ιησουσ προσ αυτον ουδεισ επιβαλων την χειρα αυτου επ αροτρον και βλεπων εισ τα οπισω ευθετοσ εστιν εισ την βασιλειαν του θεουBSBBSB: Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
