John Prepares the Way for Jesus

(Mt. 3:112; Lk. 3:19, 1517; Jn. 1:1928)

1Vestea

Bun* despre Isus Cristos*, Fiul

lui Dumnezeu 1, ncepe 2cu ceea ce a
spus profetul* Isaia c se va ntmpla. Isaia
a scris:
Iat, Eu l trimit pe mesagerul Meu
naintea Ta.
El ^i va pregti calea.
Maleahi 3.1
3 Iat

Pregti^i calea Domnului,

1The

Good News* about Jesus Christ, the Son

of God,1 begins 2with what the prophet* Isaiah
said would happen. He wrote:
Listen! I will send my messenger ahead of you.
He will prepare the way for you. Malachi 3:1
3 There

is someone shouting in the desert:

Prepare the way for the Lord.
Make his paths straight.
Isaiah 40:3
4So

a venit Ioan Boteztorul `i a

botezat oameni n pustie. El le spunea
oamenilor s se boteze* ca s arate c vor
s-`i schimbe inima `i via^a, pentru ca
pcatele s le fie iertate. 5To^i oamenii care
locuiau n Iudeea `i Ierusalim s-au dus la
Ioan. Ace`ti oameni `i-au mrturisit pcatele `i au fost boteza^i de Ioan n rul
Iordan. 6Ioan purta haine din pr de cmil, iar la mijloc avea o curea din piele. El
mnca lcuste `i miere slbatic. 7El le
spunea oamenilor: Dup mine va veni
cineva care este cu mult mai important
dect mine. Eu nu sunt vrednic nici mcar
s-I dezleg cureaua de la ncl^minte. 8Eu
v botez cu ap, dar El v va boteza cu
Duhul Sfnt*.

John the Baptizer* came and was baptizing*

people in the desert area. He told them to be baptized to show that they wanted to change their
lives, and then their sins would be forgiven. 5All
the people from Judea, including everyone from
Jerusalem, came out to John. They confessed the
bad things they had done, and he baptized them in
the Jordan River.
6John wore clothes made from camels hair and
a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts* and
wild honey.
7This is what John told the people: There is
someone coming later who is able to do more than
I can. I am not good enough to be the slave who
stoops down to untie his sandals. 8I baptize you
with water, but the one who is coming will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.*

that time Jesus came from the town of

Nazareth in Galilee to the place where John was.
John baptized* Jesus in the Jordan River. 10As
Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw the
sky torn open. The Spirit* came down to him like
a dove. 11A voice came from heaven and said,
You are my Son, and I love you. I am very
pleased with you.

16Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee. He saw

Simon1 and his brother, Andrew. These two men
were fishermen, and they were throwing a net into
the lake to catch fish. 17Jesus said to them, Come,
follow me, and I will make you a different kind of
fishermen. You will bring in people, not fish. 18So
they immediately left their nets and followed Jesus.
19Jesus continued walking by Lake Galilee. He
saw two more brothers, James and John, the sons of
Zebedee. They were in their boat, preparing their
nets to catch fish. 20Their father Zebedee and the
men who worked for him were in the boat with the
brothers. When Jesus saw the brothers, he told them
to come. They left their father and followed Jesus.

On the Sabbath* day, Jesus went into the synagogue * and taught the people. 22 They were
amazed at his teaching. He did not teach like their
teachers of the law. He taught like someone with
authority. 23While Jesus was in the synagogue, a
man was there who had an evil spirit inside him.
The man shouted, 24Jesus of Nazareth! What do
you want with us? Did you come to destroy us? I
know who you areGods Holy One!
25Jesus, his voice full of warning, said, Be
quiet, and come out of him! 26The evil spirit
made the man shake. Then the spirit made a loud
noise and came out of him.
27The people were amazed. They asked each
other, What is happening here? This man is
teaching something new, and he teaches with
authority! He even commands evil spirits, and

din sinagog* `i au mers mpreun cu Iacov
`i cu Ioan la casa lui Simon `i Andrei.
30Soacra lui Simon avea febr `i sttea n
pat. Oamenii de acolo I-au vorbit lui Isus
despre ea. 31Isus S-a dus la ea, a luat-o de
mn `i a ridicat-o. Febra a lsat-o, iar ea a
nceput s-I slujeasc.
32Seara, dup apusul soarelui, i-au adus la

29Jesus and the followers left the synagogue.*

They all went with James and John to the home of
Simon and Andrew. 30Simons mother-in-law was
very sick. She was in bed and had fever. The
people there told Jesus about her. 31So he went to
her bed. Jesus held her hand and helped her stand
up. The fever left her, and she was healed. Then
she began serving them.
32 That night, after the sun went down, the
people brought to Jesus many who were sick. They
also brought those who had demons* inside them.
33Everyone in the town gathered at the door of that
house. 34Jesus healed many of those who had different kinds of sicknesses. He also forced many
demons out of people. But he would not allow the
demons to speak, because they knew who he was.1

Isus Se pregte`te s spun Vestea Bun

Jesus Goes to Other Towns

(Lk. 4:4244)

35Foarte devreme, cnd nc nu se luminase, Isus a plecat de acolo `i S-a dus ntr-un loc
pustiu s Se roage. 36Simon `i cei care erau
cu El s-au dus s-L caute, 37iar cnd L-au
gsit, I-au spus: Toat lumea Te caut.
38Dar Isus le-a spus: Trebuie s mergem
`i n a`ezrile nvecinate, pentru ca s predic `i acolo, deoarece pentru aceasta am
venit. 39A`a c a mers prin Galileea, predicnd n sinagogile* lor `i sco^nd demoni*.

35The next morning Jesus woke up very early. He

left the house while it was still dark and went to a
place where he could be alone and pray. 36Later,
Simon and his friends went to look for Jesus. 37They
found him and said, Everyone is looking for you!
38Jesus answered, We should go to another
place. We can go to other towns around here, and
I can tell Gods message to those people too. That
is why I came. 39So Jesus traveled everywhere in
Galilee. He spoke in the synagogues, * and he
forced demons* out of people.

42Immediately the leprosy disappeared, and the
man was healed.

strong warning: 44Dont tell anyone about what I

gndesc ei `i le-a spus: De ce gndi^i astfel? 9Ce este mai u`or: s zic acestui om
paralizat: Pcatele ^i sunt iertate! sau

1A

few days later, Jesus came back to Capernaum. * The news spread that he was back
home. 2A large crowd gathered to hear him speak.
The house was so full that there was no place to
stand, not even outside the door. While Jesus was
teaching, 3some people brought a paralyzed man
to see him. He was being carried by four of them.
4But they could not get the man inside to Jesus
because the house was so full of people. So they
went to the roof above Jesus and made a hole in it.
Then they lowered the mat with the paralyzed
man on it. 5When Jesus saw how much faith they
had, he said to the paralyzed man, Young man,
your sins are forgiven.
6Some of the teachers of the law were sitting
there. They saw what Jesus did, and they said to
themselves, 7Why does this man say things like
that? What an insult to God! No one but God can
forgive sins.
8Jesus knew immediately what these teachers
of the law were thinking. So he said to them,
Why do you have these questions in your minds?
910The Son of Man* has power on earth to forgive sins. But how can I prove this to you? Maybe
you are thinking it was easy for me to say to the
crippled man, Your sins are forgiven. Theres no
proof it really happened. But what if I say to the
man, Stand up. Take your mat and walk? Then
you will be able to see if I really have this power
or not. So Jesus said to the paralyzed man, 11I
tell you, stand up. Take your mat and go home.
12Immediately the paralyzed man stood up. He
picked up his mat and walked out of the room.
Everyone could see him. They were amazed and
praised God. They said, This is the most amazing
thing we have ever seen!

collectors* and others with bad reputations eating
with them. (There were many of these people who
followed Jesus.) 16When some teachers of the law
who were Pharisees* saw Jesus eating with such
bad people, they asked his followers, Why does
he eat with tax collectors and sinners?
17When Jesus heard this, he said to them, It is

are healthy. I did not come to invite good people.
I came to invite sinners.

In the synagogue there was a man with a crippled hand. 2Some Jews there were watching Jesus
closely. They were waiting to see if he would heal
the man on a Sabbath* day. They wanted to see
Jesus do something wrong so that they could
accuse him. 3Jesus said to the man with the crippled hand, Stand up here so that everyone can
see you.
4Then Jesus asked the people, Which is the
right thing to do on the Sabbath day: to do good,
or to do evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroy
one? The people said nothing to answer him.
5Jesus looked at the people. He was angry, but
he felt very sad because they were so stubborn.
He said to the man, Hold out your hand. The
man held out his hand, and it was healed. 6Then
the Pharisees* left and made plans with the Herodians* about a way to kill Jesus.

s ajung la El pentru a-L putea atinge.

7Jesus went away with his followers to the lake.

A large crowd of people from Galilee followed
them. 8 Many also came from Judea, from
Jerusalem, from Idumea, from the area across the
Jordan River, and from the area around Tyre and
Sidon. These people came because they heard
about all that Jesus was doing.
9Jesus saw how many people there were, so he
told his followers to get a small boat and make it
ready for him. He wanted the boat so that the
crowds of people could not push against him.
10He had healed many of them, so all the sick
people were pushing toward him to touch him.
11Some people had evil spirits inside them. When
the evil spirits saw Jesus, they bowed before him
and shouted, You are the Son of God! 12But
Jesus gave the spirits a strong warning not to tell
anyone who he was.

he wanted to go with him. So they joined him
there. 14And he chose twelve men and called them
apostles.* He wanted these twelve men to be with
him, and he wanted to send them to other places
to tell people Gods message. 15He also wanted
them to have the power to force demons* out of

Jesus went home, but again a large

crowd gathered there. There were so many
people that he and his followers could not eat.
21His family heard about all these things. They
went to get him because people said he was
crazy.
22And the teachers of the law from Jerusalem
said, Satan2 is living inside him! He uses power
from the ruler of demons* to force demons out of
people.
23So Jesus called them together and talked to
them using some stories. He said, Satan* will not
force his own demons out of people. 24A kingdom
that fights against itself will not survive. 25And a
family that is divided will not survive. 26If Satan
is against himself and is fighting against his own
people, he will not survive. That would be the end
of Satan.
27 Whoever wants to enter a strong mans
house and steal his things must first tie him up.
Then they can steal the things from his house.
28I want you to know that people can be forgiven for all the sinful things they do. They can
even be forgiven for the bad things they say
against God. 29But anyone who speaks against the
Holy Spirit* will never be forgiven. They will
always be guilty of that sin.

A Story About a Farmer Sowing Seed

(Mt. 13:19; Lk. 8:48)

1Isus a nceput din nou s-i nve^e pe

oameni lng mare. n jurul Lui s-a adunat o mare mul^ime, a`a c El S-a urcat
ntr-o barc `i S-a a`ezat n ea, iar oamenii
stteau pe malul mrii. 2El i-a nv^at multe

czut pe un loc stncos, unde nu aveau prea
mult pmnt. Acestea au ncol^it repede,
pentru c pmntul nu era adnc. 6i cnd a
rsrit soarele, au fost dogorite; `i pentru c
nu aveau rdcini, s-au uscat. 7Alte semin^e

time Jesus began teaching by the

lake, and a large crowd gathered around him.
He got into a boat so that he could sit and teach
from the lake. All the people stayed on the shore
near the water. 2Jesus used stories to teach them
many things. One of his lessons included this
story:
3 Listen! A farmer went out to sow seed.
4While he was scattering the seed, some of it fell
by the road. The birds came and ate all that seed.
5Other seed fell on rocky ground, where there was
not enough dirt. It grew quickly there because the
soil was not deep. 6But then the sun rose and the
plants were burned. They died because they did
not have deep roots. 7Some other seed fell among
thorny weeds. The weeds grew and stopped the
good plants from growing. So they did not make
grain. 8But some of the seed fell on good ground.
There it began to grow, and it made grain. Some
plants made 30 times more grain, some 60 times
more, and some 100 times more.
9Then Jesus said, You people who hear me,
listen!

10Cnd era singur, cei ce erau n jurul Su

rostul pildelor.

10Later, Jesus was away from the people. The

twelve apostles* and his other followers asked
him about the stories.
11Jesus said, Only you can know the secret
truth about Gods kingdom.* But to those other
people I tell everything by using stories. 12I do
this so that:

Ei s priveasc, dar s nu vad;

s asculte, dar s nu n^eleag;
ca nu cumva s se ntoarc
`i s fie ierta^i.

like some people who hear the teaching of God.

As soon as they hear it Satan* comes and takes
away the teaching that was planted in them.
16Other people are like the seed planted on
rocky ground. They hear the teaching, and they
quickly and gladly accept it. 17But they dont allow
it to go deep into their lives. They keep it only a
short time. As soon as trouble or persecution* comes
because of the teaching they accepted, they give up.
18Others are like the seed planted among the
thorny weeds. They hear the teaching, 19but their
lives become full of other things: the worries of
this life, the love of money, and everything else
they want. This keeps the teaching from growing,
and it does not produce a crop1 in their lives.
20And others are like the seed planted on the
good ground. They hear the teaching and accept
it. Then they grow and produce a good crop
sometimes 30 times more, sometimes 60 times
more, and sometimes 100 times more.

Folosi^i-v de ceea ce ave^i

Use the Understanding You Have

21Then

El le-a spus: Aduce oare vreunul

dintre voi o lamp pentru a fi acoperit sau
ascuns sub pat? Nu este oare ea adus
pentru a lumina? 22Tot ceea ce este ascuns
va fi fcut cunoscut. Fiecare secret va fi
scos la lumin. 23Dac are cineva urechi de
auzit, s aud.
24Apoi El le-a spus: Gndi^i-v bine la
ceea ce auzi^i! Cu msura cu care msura^i,
vi se va msura `i vou, `i chiar vi se va da
n plus. 25Celui ce are i se va da `i mai mult.
i celui ce nu are, i se va lua `i pu^inul pe
care-l are.

Jesus said to them, You dont take a

lamp and hide it under a bowl or a bed, do you?
Of course not. You put it on a lampstand.
22Everything that is hidden will be made clear.
Every secret thing will be made known. 23You
people who hear me, listen! 24Think carefully
about what you are hearing. God will know how
much to give you by how much you understand
now. But he will give you more than you
deserve. 25The people who have some understanding will receive more. But those who do not
have much will lose even the small amount they
have.

Jesus Uses a Story About Seed

26Apoi

Isus a spus: V spun cu ce seamn mpr^ia lui Dumnezeu. Un om arunc semin^e pe pmnt. 27Fie c doarme, fie
c este treaz, noapte `i zi, smn^a ncol^e`te `i cre`te, fr ca omul s `tie cum. 28De
la sine, pmntul produce grul: la nceput,
apare un fir; apoi, un spic; dup aceea, apar
`i boabele de gru pe spic. 29Cnd s-a copt
grul, omul intr cu secera n el, pentru c a
venit timpul seceri`ului.

26Then

Jesus said, Gods kingdom* is like a

man who plants seed in the ground. 27The seed
begins to grow. It grows night and day. It
doesnt matter whether the man is sleeping or
awake, the seed still grows. He doesnt know
how it happens. 28Without any help the ground
produces grain. First the plant grows, then the
head, and then all the grain in the head. 29When
the grain is ready, the man cuts it. This is the
harvest time.

people to do.

acestea. El le-a spus lucrurile pe care le
puteau ei n^elege. 34El nu le-a spus nimic
fr s foloseasc pilde, dar cnd rmnea

Jesus said, What can I use to show you

what Gods kingdom* is like? What story can I
use to explain it? 31Gods kingdom is like a mustard seed, which is smaller than any other seed on
earth that you can plant. 32But when you plant it,
it grows and becomes the largest of all the plants
in your garden. It has branches that are very big.
The wild birds can come and make nests there and
be protected from the sun.
33Jesus used many stories like these to teach the
people. He taught them all they could understand.
34He always used stories to teach them. But when
he was alone with his followers, Jesus explained
everything to them.

they left the crowd behind and went with Jesus
in the boat he was already in. There were also
other boats that went with them. 37A very bad
wind came up on the lake. The waves were
coming over the sides and into the boat, and it
was almost full of water. 38Jesus was inside the
boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The followers went and woke him. They said, Teacher,
dont you care about us? We are going to
drown!
39Jesus stood up and commanded the wind and
the waves to stop. He said, Quiet! Be still! Then
the wind stopped, and the lake became calm.
40 He said to his followers, Why are you
afraid? Do you still have no faith?

What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the
waves obey him!

5Day and night he stayed around the burial caves

and on the hills. He would scream and cut himself
with rocks.
6While Jesus was still far away, the man saw
him. He ran to Jesus and bowed down before
him. 78As Jesus was saying, You evil spirit,
come out of this man, the man shouted loudly,
What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the
Most High God? I beg you in Gods name not to
punish me!
9 Then

Jesus asked the man, What is your

name?
The man answered, My name is Legion, 1
because there are many spirits inside me. 10The
spirits inside the man begged Jesus again and
again not to send them out of that area.
11A large herd of pigs was eating on a hill near
there. 12The evil spirits begged Jesus, Send us to
the pigs. Let us go into them. 13So Jesus allowed
them to do this. The evil spirits left the man and
went into the pigs. Then the herd of pigs ran down
the hill and into the lake. They were all drowned.
There were about 2000 pigs in that herd.
14The men who had the work of caring for the
pigs ran away. They ran to the town and to the
farms and told everyone what happened. The
people went out to see. 15They came to Jesus, and
they saw the man who had the many evil spirits.
He was sitting down and was wearing clothes. He
was in his right mind again. When they saw this,
they were afraid. 16Those who had seen what
Jesus did told the others what happened to the
man who had the demons* living in him. And they
also told about the pigs. 17Then the people began
to beg Jesus to leave their area.
18Jesus was preparing to leave in the boat. The
man who was freed from the demons begged to
go with him. 19But Jesus did not allow the man to
go. He said, Go home to your family and friends.
Tell them about all that the Lord did for you. Tell
them how the Lord was good to you.
20So the man left and told the people in the Ten
Towns* about the great things Jesus did for him.
Everyone was amazed.

MARK 5:2139

Jesus Gives Life to a Dead Girl

and Heals a Sick Woman
(Mt. 9:1826; Lk. 8:4056)
21Jesus

went back to the other side of the lake

in the boat. There, a large crowd of people gathered around him on the shore. 22A leader of the
synagogue* came. His name was Jairus. He saw
Jesus and bowed down before him. 23He begged
Jesus again and again, saying, My little
daughter is dying. Please come and lay your
hands on her. Then she will be healed and will
live.
24So Jesus went with Jairus. Many people followed Jesus. They were pushing very close
around him.
25There among the people was a woman who
had been bleeding for the past twelve years. 26She
had suffered very much. Many doctors had tried
to help her, and all the money she had was spent,
but she was not improving. In fact, her sickness
was getting worse.
27The woman heard about Jesus, so she followed him with the other people and touched his
coat. 28 She thought, If I can just touch his
clothes, that will be enough to heal me. 29As
soon as she touched his coat, her bleeding
stopped. She felt that her body was healed from
all the suffering. 30Jesus immediately felt power
go out from him, so he stopped and turned
around. Who touched my clothes? he asked.
31The followers said to Jesus, There are so
many people pushing against you. But you ask,
Who touched me?
32But Jesus continued looking for the one who
touched him. 33The woman knew that she was
healed, so she came and bowed at Jesus feet. She
was shaking with fear. She told Jesus the whole
story. 34He said to her, Dear woman, you are
made well because you believed. Go in peace.
You will not suffer any more.
35While Jesus was still there speaking, some
men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. They said, Your daughter is dead.
There is no need to bother the teacher.
36But Jesus did not care what the men said. He
said to the synagogue leader, Dont be afraid;
only believe.
37 Jesus let only Peter, James, and John the
brother of James go with him. 38They went to the
synagogue leaders house, where Jesus saw many
people crying loudly. There was a lot of confusion. 39He entered the house and said, Why are
you people crying and making so much noise?

Jesus told the people to leave the house. Then
he went into the room where the child was. He
brought the childs father and mother and his three
followers into the room with him. 41Then Jesus
held the girls hand and said to her, Talitha,
koum! (This means Little girl, I tell you to stand
up!) 42The girl immediately stood up and began
walking. (She was twelve years old.) The father
and mother and the followers were amazed.
43 Jesus gave the father and mother very strict
orders not to tell people about this. Then he told
them to give the girl some food to eat.

1Isus

cu El. 2n ziua de sabat*, Isus a nceput s-i
nve^e pe oameni n sinagog*, iar ace`tia au

de a face astfel de minuni*? 3Oare nu este El
doar tmplarul, fiul Mariei? i nu este El
fratele lui Iacov, al lui Iose, al lui Iuda `i al
lui Simon? i nu sunt surorile Lui aici cu
noi? Din acest motiv le era greu s cread
n El.
4Iar Isus le-a spus: Doar n ^ara lui este
primit fr cinste un profet*, acolo unde se
afl rudele `i familia lui. 5n afar de faptul
c i-a pus minile peste c^iva oameni bolnavi `i i-a vindecat, Isus nu a mai putut face
nici o alt minune n cetatea aceea. 6i El a
fost uimit de necredin^a lor.

1Jesus

left and went back to his hometown.

His followers went with him. 2 On the
Sabbath* day Jesus taught in the synagogue,* and
many people heard him. They were amazed and
said, Where did this man get this teaching? How
did he get such wisdom? Who gave it to him?
And where did he get the power to do miracles*?
3Isnt he just the carpenter we knowMarys son,
the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon?
And dont his sisters still live here in town? So
they had a problem accepting him.

4Then

Jesus said to them, People everywhere

give honor to a prophet,* except in his own town,
with his own people, or in his home. 5Jesus was
not able to do any miracles there except the
healing of some sick people by laying his hands
on them. 6He was surprised that the people there
had no faith. Then he went to other villages in that
area and taught.

them: Take nothing for your trip except a stick

apostles left and went to other places.

They talked to the people and told them to change
their hearts and lives. 13 They forced many
demons* out of people and put olive oil on2 many
who were sick and healed them.

Irod * a auzit ce se ntmpla,

pentru c Isus ajunsese acum foarte cunoscut. Unii oameni ziceau: Isus este Ioan
Boteztorul nviat din mor^i `i de aceea
poate face aceste minuni.
15Al^ii ziceau: Isus e Ilie*.
Iar al^ii ziceau: Isus este un profet* asemenea celor din trecut.

spus: Ioan, cel cruia i-am tiat capul, a

Herod * heard about Jesus, because

Jesus was now famous. Some people said, He is
John the Baptizer. * He must have risen from
death, and that is why he can do these
miracles.*
15Other people said, He is Elijah.*
And others said, He is a prophet.* He is like
the prophets who lived long ago.
16 Herod heard these things about Jesus. He
said, I killed John by cutting off his head. Now
he has been raised from death!

Cum a fost omort Ioan Boteztorul

How John the Baptizer Was Killed

17Irod

nsu`i poruncise arestarea `i nchiderea lui Ioan* pentru a-i face pe plac so^iei
sale, Irodiada. Irodiada fusese so^ia lui
Filip, fratele lui Irod. 18Pentru c Ioan i tot
spunea lui Irod: Legea nu-^i d voie s-o ai
pe so^ia fratelui tu!, 19Irodiada l ura pe
Ioan `i dorea s-l omoare. Dar ea nu-l putea
omor, 20deoarece Irod se temea de Ioan.
Irod l ocrotea pe Ioan, pentru c `tia c
acesta este un om bun `i sfnt. Cnd l
auzea pe Ioan vorbind, rmnea uimit; `i i
fcea plcere s-l asculte.
21Dar a sosit `i ziua potrivit pentru ca
Irodiada s ob^in moartea lui Ioan. De ziua
lui, Irod a dat o mas pentru conductorii
cei mai importan^i, pentru comandan^ii
armatei `i pentru oamenii boga^i ai Galileii.
22Fiica Irodiadei a venit la petrecere `i a
dansat. Lui Irod `i celor ce erau cu el le-a
plcut mult cum a dansat ea.
Irod i-a spus fetei: Cere-mi orice dore`ti
`i eu ^i voi da! 23Irod i-a promis cu jurmnt: ^i voi da orice-mi vei cere, pn la
jumtate din mpr^ie!

17Herod * himself had ordered his soldiers to

arrest John and put him in prison. Herod did this
to please his wife Herodias. She had been married
to Herods brother Philip, but then Herod married
her. 18John told Herod that it was not right for him
to be married to his brothers wife. 19So Herodias
hated John. She wanted him dead, but she was not
able to persuade Herod to kill him. 20Herod was
afraid to kill John, because he knew that he was a
good and holy* man. So he protected him. He
liked listening to John, although what John said
left him with so many questions.
21 Then the right time came for Herodias to
cause Johns death. It happened on Herods
birthday. Herod gave a dinner party for the most
important government leaders, the commanders of
his army, and the most important people in
Galilee. 22The daughter of Herodias came to the
party and danced. When she danced, Herod and
the people eating with him were very pleased.
So King Herod said to the girl, I will give you
anything you want. 23He promised her, Anything you ask for I will give to youeven half of
my kingdom.

26Lui Irod i-a prut ru, dar din cauza jurmntului su `i din cauza celor ce stteau la
mas cu el, nu a vrut s-o refuze. 27Irod a trimis pe unul din solda^ii lui s-i taie capul lui
Ioan `i s i-l aduc. Acesta s-a dus n nchisoare `i i-a tiat capul lui Ioan, 28dup care l-a
adus pe o farfurie. Soldatul i-a dat capul fetei,
care i l-a dat mamei sale. 29Cnd au auzit

24The girl went to her mother and asked, What

should I ask King Herod to give me?
Her mother answered, Ask for the head of
John the Baptizer.*
25So right then the girl went back in to the king.
She said to him, Please give me the head of John
the Baptizer. Bring it to me now on a plate.
26King Herod was very sad, but he didnt want
to break the promise he had made to her in front
of his guests. 27So he sent a soldier to cut off
Johns head and bring it to him. The soldier went
and cut off Johns head in the prison. 28 He
brought the head back on a plate and gave it to
the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29Johns followers heard about what happened, so
they came and got Johns body and put it in a
tomb.*

30 The apostles * Jesus sent out came back to

him. They gathered around him and told him
about all they had done and taught. 31Jesus and
his followers were in a very busy place. There
were so many people that he and his followers did
not even have time to eat. He said to them, Come
with me. We will go to a quiet place to be alone.
There we will get some rest.
32So Jesus and his followers went away alone.
They went in a boat to a place where no one lived.
33But many people saw them leave and knew who
they were. So people from every town ran to the
place where they were going and got there before
Jesus. 34As Jesus stepped out of the boat, he saw a
large crowd waiting. He felt sorry for them,
because they were like sheep without a shepherd to
care for them. So he taught the people many things.
35It was now very late in the day. Jesus followers came to him and said, No one lives
around here, and it is already very late. 36So
send the people away. They need to go to the
farms and towns around here to buy some food
to eat.
37But Jesus answered, You give them some
food to eat.
They said to Jesus, We cant buy enough bread
to feed all these people. We would all have to
work a month to earn enough to buy that much
bread!

looked up to the sky and thanked God for the food.
Then he broke the bread into pieces, which he gave

He stayed there to tell the people they could go

went into the hills to pray.
47That night, the boat was still in the middle of
the lake. Jesus was alone on the land. 48He saw the
boat far away on the lake. And he saw the followers working hard to row the boat. The wind was
blowing against them. Sometime between three
and six oclock in the morning, Jesus went out to
the boat, walking on the water. He continued
walking until he was almost past the boat. 49But the
followers saw Jesus walking on the water. They
thought he was a ghost, and they started screaming.
50It scared them all to see him. But he spoke to
them and said, Dont worry! Its me! Dont be
afraid. 51When he got into the boat with the followers, the wind stopped. The followers were completely amazed. 52They could not believe what happened. It was like the miracle he did with the bread.
They still didnt understand what that meant.

1Some Pharisees * and some teachers of the

law came from Jerusalem and gathered
around Jesus. 2They saw that some of his followers ate food with hands that were not clean,
meaning that they did not wash their hands in a
special way. 3The Pharisees and all the other Jews
never eat before washing their hands in this special way. They do this to follow the traditions they
have from their great leaders who lived long ago.
4 And when these Jews buy something in the
market, they never eat it until they wash it in a
special way. They also follow other rules from
their people who lived before them. They follow
rules like the washing of cups, pitchers, and pots.1
5The Pharisees and teachers of the law said to
Jesus, Your followers dont follow the traditions
we have from our great leaders who lived long
ago. They eat their food with hands that are not
clean. Why do they do this?
6 Jesus answered, You are all hypocrites. *
Isaiah was right when he wrote these words from
God about you:

These people say they honor me,

but they dont really make me
an important part of their lives.
7 Their worship of me is for nothing.
The things they teach are only rules
that people have made.

ceea ce intr n el, ci de ceea ce iese din

17Apoi, Isus a lsat mul^imea `i a intrat

Nici voi nu n^elege^i? Nu vede^i c nimic

din inima lui, ies gndurile rele, pcatele

you do many things like that.
14Jesus called the people to him again. He said,
Everyone should listen to me and understand what
I am saying. 15There is nothing people can put in
their mouth that will make them wrong.1 People are
made wrong by what comes from inside them. [16}2
17Then Jesus left the people and went into the
house. The followers asked Jesus about what he
had told the people. 18He said, You still have
trouble understanding? Surely you know that
nothing that enters the mouth from the outside can
make people unacceptable to God. 19Food does
not go into a persons mind. It goes into the
stomach. Then it goes out of the body. (When
Jesus said this, he meant that there is no food that
is wrong for people to eat.)
20And Jesus said, The things that make people
wrong are the things that come from the inside.
21All these bad things begin inside a person, in the
mind: bad thoughts, sexual sins, stealing, murder,
22adultery, * greed, doing bad things to people,
lying, doing things that are morally wrong, jealousy, insulting people, proud talking, and foolish
living. 23These evil things come from inside a
person. And these are the things that make people
unacceptable to God.

Tyre. He did not want the people in that area to
know he was there, so he went into a house. But
he could not stay hidden. 25A woman heard that
he was there. Her little daughter had an evil spirit
inside her. So the woman came to Jesus and
bowed down near his feet. 26She was not a Jew.
She was born in Phoenicia, an area in Syria. She
begged Jesus to force the demon * out of her
daughter.
27Jesus told the woman, It is not right to take
the childrens bread and give it to the dogs. First
let the children eat all they want.
28She answered, That is true, Lord. But the
dogs under the table can eat the pieces of food
that the children dont eat.
29 Then he told her, That is a very good
answer. You may go. The demon has left your
daughter.

Isus vindec un surd

Jesus Heals a Deaf Man

31Isus

a plecat din ^inutul Tirului ctre

Marea Galileii, trecnd prin ^inutul
Sidonului `i prin Decapole. 32Acolo, I-a fost
adus un surd care nici nu prea putea vorbi.
Cei ce l-au adus L-au rugat pe Isus s-i
pun minile peste el.
33Isus l-a luat deoparte de mul^ime `i a
atins urechile acelui om. Apoi, a scuipat `i
i-a atins limba. 34Isus a privit ctre cer, a
suspinat `i i-a spus: Efata! (ceea ce
nseamn Deschide-te!). 35Imediat urechile omului s-au deschis, limba i-a fost dezlegat `i a nceput s vorbeasc.
36Isus le-a poruncit s nu spun nimnui
cele ntmplate. Dar cu ct le poruncea
mai mult, cu att mai mult vorbeau ei
despre El. 37Oamenii erau foarte uimi^i `i
ziceau: Tot ce a fcut El, a fcut bine.
Chiar `i pe surzi i face s aud, `i pe mu^i
s vorbeasc.

31Then Jesus left the area around Tyre and went

through Sidon. On his way to Lake Galilee he went
through the area of the Ten Towns.* 32While he was
there, some people brought a man to him who was
deaf and could not talk clearly. The people begged
Jesus to put his hand on the man to heal him.
33Jesus led the man away from the people to be
alone with him. He put his fingers in the mans ears.
Then he spit and touched the mans tongue with it.
34Jesus looked up to the sky and with a loud sigh he
said, Ephphatha! (This means Open!) 35As
soon as Jesus did this, the man was able to hear. He
was able to use his tongue and spoke clearly.
36Jesus told the people not to tell anyone about
what happened. He always told people not to tell
others about him. But this only caused them to tell
about him more and more. 37The people were
completely amazed. They said, Look at what he
has done. Its all good. He makes deaf people able
to hear and gives a new voice to people who could
not talk.

1Another

time there were many people with

Jesus. The people had nothing to eat. So he
called his followers to him and said, 2I feel sorry
for these people. They have been with me for
three days, and now they have nothing to eat. 3I
should not send them home hungry. If they leave
without eating, they will faint on the way home.
Some of them live a long way from here.
4Jesus followers answered, But we are far
away from any towns. Where can we get enough
bread to feed all these people?
5Then Jesus asked them, How many loaves of
bread do you have?
They answered, We have seven loaves of
bread.
6Jesus told the people to sit on the ground. Then
he took the seven loaves and gave thanks to God.
He broke the bread into pieces and gave them to
his followers. He told them to give the bread to the
people, and they did as he said. 7The followers
also had a few small fish. Jesus gave thanks for the
fish and told them to give the fish to the people.
8They all ate until they were full. Then the followers filled seven baskets with the pieces of food
that were left. 9There were about 4000 men who
ate. After they ate, Jesus told them to go home.

11The Pharisees* came to Jesus and asked him

questions. They wanted to test him. So they asked
him to do a miracle* as a sign from God. 12Jesus
made a sad sound like he was troubled. He said,
Why do you people ask to see a miracle as a
sign? I want you to know that no miracle will be
done to prove anything to you. 13Then Jesus left
them and went in the boat to the other side of the
lake.

(Mt. 16:512)
14The followers had only one loaf of bread with
them in the boat. They forgot to bring more
bread. 15Jesus warned them, Be careful! Guard
against the yeast1 of the Pharisees* and the yeast
of Herod.*
16The followers discussed the meaning of this.
They said, He said this because we have no
bread.
17Jesus knew that the followers were talking
about this. So he asked them, Why are you
talking about having no bread? You still dont see
or understand? Are you not able to understand?
18Do you have eyes that cant see? Do you have
ears that cant hear? Remember what I did before,
when we did not have enough bread? 19I divided
five loaves of bread for 5000 people. Remember
how many baskets you filled with pieces of food
that were not eaten?
The followers answered, We filled twelve
baskets.
20And remember that I divided seven loaves
of bread for 4000 people. Remember how many
baskets you filled with pieces of food that were
not eaten?
They answered, We filled seven baskets.
21Then he said to them, You remember these
things I did, but you still dont understand?

Jesus began to teach his followers that

the Son of Man * must suffer many things. He
taught that the Son of Man would not be accepted
by the older Jewish leaders, the leading priests,
and the teachers of the law. He said that the Son
of Man must be killed and then rise from death
after three days. 32Jesus told them everything that
would happen. He did not keep anything secret.
Peter took Jesus away from the other followers
to talk to him alone. Peter criticized him for
saying these things. 33But Jesus turned and looked
at his followers. Then he criticized Peter. He said
to Peter, Get away from me, Satan1! You dont
care about the same things God does. You care
only about things that people think are important.
34Then Jesus called the people to him. His followers were also there. He said, Whoever wants
to be my follower must say no to themselves and
what they want to do. They must accept the cross*
that is given to them and follow me. 35Those who
try to save their life will lose it. But those who
give up their life for me and for the Good News*
about me will save it. 36It is worth nothing for you

2ase zile mai trziu, Isus i-a luat cu El

pe Petru, pe Iacov `i pe Ioan. El i-a condus
pe un munte nalt, unde au rmas singuri.
Acolo, nf^i`area lui Isus S-a schimbat.
3Hainele I-au devenit strlucitoare `i foarte
albe. Ele erau mai albe dect le-ar fi putut
albi orice nlbitor de pe pmnt. 4Moise `i
Ilie* au aprut naintea lor, vorbind cu Isus.
5Petru a nceput s vorbeasc `i I-a spus
lui Isus: nv^torule, este bine c suntem
aici. Las-ne s facem trei colibe: una
pentru Tine, una pentru Moise `i una pentru
Ilie. 6Petru vorbea astfel pentru c nu `tia
ce s spun, ei to^i fiind cuprin`i de spaim.
7ns iat c a aprut un nor `i i-a acoperit cu umbra lui. Apoi s-a auzit o voce din
nor: Acesta este Fiul Meu iubit. De El s

8Cnd s-au uitat n jurul lor, nu au mai
vzut pe nimeni, dect pe Isus singur.
9Pe cnd coborau de pe munte, Isus le-a
poruncit s nu spun nimnui ceea ce vzuser pn cnd va nvia Fiul omului* dintre

2Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and

John and went up on a high mountain. They were
all alone there. While these followers watched
him, Jesus was changed. 3His clothes became
shining whitewhiter than anyone on earth
could make them. 4Then two men were there
talking with Jesus. They were Elijah * and
Moses.*
5Peter said to Jesus, Teacher, it is good that we
are here. We will put three tents hereone for
you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 6Peter
did not know what to say, because he and the
other two followers were so afraid.

10Ei

7Then a cloud came and covered them. A voice

came from the cloud and said, This is my Son,
and I love him. Obey him!
8The

followers looked, but they saw only Jesus

there alone with them.
9As Jesus and the followers were walking back
down the mountain, he gave them these instructions: Dont tell anyone about what you saw on
the mountain. Wait until after the Son of Man*
rises from death. Then you can tell people what
you saw.
10So the followers waited to say anything about
what they saw. But they discussed among themselves what Jesus meant about rising from death.
11They asked him, Why do the teachers of the
law say that Elijah must come2 first?
12Jesus answered, They are right to say that
Elijah must come first. Elijah makes all things the
way they should be. But why do the Scriptures*
say that the Son of Man will suffer much and that
people will think he is worth nothing? 13I tell you
that Elijah has already come. And people did to

19Apoi Isus le-a spus: O, genera^ie necredincioas! Ct voi mai fi cu voi? Ct va mai
trebui s v rabd? Aduce^i biatul la Mine!
20i au adus biatul la El. Cnd L-a vzut
pe Isus, duhul i-a provocat biatului convulsii. Acesta a czut pe jos, s-a rostogolit `i a
nceput s fac spum la gur.
21 Isus l-a ntrebat pe tatl lui: De ct

Tatl I-a rspuns: Din copilrie. 22De
multe ori duhul a ncercat s-l arunce n foc
sau n ap ca s-l omoare. Dar dac po^i
face ceva, ai mil de noi `i ajut-ne!
23Isus i-a spus: Tu zici: Dac po^i .
Toate lucrurile sunt posibile pentru cei ce
cred.
24Imediat tatl biatului a strigat: Cred!
Ajut-mi necredin^a!
25Cnd a vzut Isus c se apropie mul^imea, a certat duhul ru, zicndu-i: Duhule
care l-ai fcut pe acest biat surd `i mut, ^i
poruncesc s ie`i afar din el `i s nu mai
intri niciodat n el!
26Duhul a ^ipat, l-a aruncat pe biat n
ni`te convulsii puternice `i a ie`it din el.
Biatul arta ca un cadavru. Mul^i oameni
au spus: Este mort!, 27ns Isus l-a luat de
mn `i l-a ridicat. Biatul a stat n picioare.
28Dup ce Isus a intrat n cas, ucenicii
L-au luat deoparte `i L-au ntrebat: Noi
de ce nu am putut s scoatem duhul
acela?

14Then Jesus, Peter, James, and John went to

the other followers. They saw many people around
them. The teachers of the law were arguing with
the followers. 15When the people saw Jesus, they
were very surprised and ran to welcome him.
16Jesus asked, What are you arguing with the
teachers of the law about?
17A man answered, Teacher, I brought my son
to you. He is controlled by an evil spirit that keeps
him from talking. 18The spirit attacks him and
throws him on the ground. He foams at the mouth,
grinds his teeth, and becomes very stiff. I asked
your followers to force the evil spirit out, but they
could not.
19 Jesus answered, You people today dont
believe! How long must I stay with you? How long
must I be patient with you? Bring the boy to me!
20So the followers brought the boy to Jesus.
When the evil spirit saw Jesus, it attacked the boy.
The boy fell down and rolled on the ground. He
was foaming at the mouth.
21Jesus asked the boys father, How long has
this been happening to him?
The father answered, Since he was very
young. 22The spirit often throws him into a fire or
into water to kill him. If you can do anything,
please have pity on us and help us.
23Jesus said to the father, Why did you say if
you can? All things are possible for the one who
believes.
24Immediately the father shouted, I do believe.
Help me to believe more!
25Jesus saw that all the people were running
there to see what was happening. So he spoke to the
evil spirit. He said, You evil spirit that makes this
boy deaf and stops him from talkingI command
you to come out of him and never enter him again!
26The evil spirit screamed. It caused the boy to
fall on the ground again, and then it came out. The
boy looked like he was dead. Many people said,
He is dead! 27But Jesus took hold of his hand
and helped him stand up.
28 Then Jesus went into the house. His followers were alone with him there. They said,
Why werent we able to force that evil spirit
out?

Jesus Talks About His Death

(Mt. 17:2223; Lk. 9:43b45)

30Isus `i ucenicii Si au plecat de acolo `i

au trecut prin Galileea. El nu dorea s se `tie
unde este. 31Isus i nv^a pe ucenici, spunndu-le: Fiul omului* va fi dat pe mna
oamenilor, care-L vor omor. Dar, a treia zi
dup ce va fi fost omort, va nvia. 32ns
ei nu au n^eles ce le spunea Isus `i le-a fost
team s-L ntrebe ce-a vrut s zic.

30Then Jesus and his followers left there and

went through Galilee. Jesus did not want the people
to know where they were. 31He wanted to teach his
followers alone. He said to them, The Son of
Man* will be put under the control of others, who
will kill him. After three days, he will rise from
death. 32But the followers did not understand what
he meant, and they were afraid to ask him.

Isus spune cine este cel mai important

(Mt. 18.15; Lc. 9.4648)

33Apoi au ajuns n Capernaum. Cnd era

cu ucenicii n cas, Isus i-a ntrebat:
Despre ce discuta^i pe drum? 34Dar ei au
tcut, pentru c discutaser despre cine era
cel mai important dintre ei.

33Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum.*

They went into a house, and Jesus said to them, I
heard you arguing on the way here today. What
were you arguing about? 34But the followers did
not answer, because their argument on the road
was about which one of them was the greatest.
3 5 Jesus sat down and called the twelve
apostles* to him. He said, Whoever wants to be
the most important must make others more important than themselves. They must serve everyone
else.
36Then Jesus took a small child and stood the
child in front of the followers. He held the child in
his arms and said, 37Whoever accepts children
like these in my name is accepting me. And
anyone who accepts me is also accepting the one
who sent me.

35Isus

S-a a`ezat, i-a chemat pe cei doisprezece la El `i le-a spus: Dac vrea cineva s fie cel mai important, trebuie s-i considere pe to^i ceilal^i mai importan^i dect el
`i s fie slujitorul tuturor.
36i lund un copila`, l-a pus n fa^a lor.

prime`te numai pe Mine, ci `i pe Cel ce M-a

38Ioan I-a spus: nv^torule, am vzut

Dar noi am ncercat s-l oprim, pentru c nu

39ns Isus i-a spus: S nu-l opri^i! Pentru

atunci el nu va putea spune lucruri rele
despre Mine. 40Cel care nu este mpotriva
noastr este pentru noi. 41Oricine v d o

38 Then John said, Teacher, we saw a man

using your name to force demons * out of
someone. He is not one of us. So we told him to
stop, because he does not belong to our group.
39Jesus said, Dont stop him. Whoever uses
my name to do powerful things will not soon say
bad things about me. 40Whoever is not against us
is with us. 41I can assure you that anyone who
helps you by giving you a drink of water because
you belong to the Christ * will definitely get a
reward.

^inutul Iudeii, de partea cealalt a

2Fariseii* au venit la El `i L-au ntrebat:

de so^ia lui? Fariseii I-au pus aceast ntrebare pentru a-L pune la ncercare.
3 Isus le-a rspuns: Ce v-a poruncit
Moise?
4Ei I-au spus: Moise a dat voie brbatului s scrie o scrisoare de despr^ire `i {prin
aceasta} s divor^eze.4
5Isus le-a spus: Moise v-a dat aceast
porunc din cauza ncp^nrii voastre.
6Dar, de la nceputul lumii, Dumnezeu i-a
creat pe oameni de sex masculin `i de sex
feminin5. 7De aceea, brbatul va lsa pe

1Then

Jesus left there and went into the

area of Judea and across the Jordan River.
Again, many people came to him, and Jesus
taught them as he always did.

2Some Pharisees * came to Jesus and tried to

make him say something wrong. They asked him,
Is it right for a man to divorce his wife?
3Jesus

answered, What did Moses* command

you to do?
4The Pharisees said, Moses allowed a man to
divorce his wife by writing a certificate of
divorce.4
5Jesus said, Moses wrote that command for
you because you refused to accept Gods
teaching. 6But when God made the world, he
made people male and female.5 7That is why a
man will leave his father and mother and be
joined to his wife. 8 And the two people will
become one.6 So they are no longer two, but one.
9God has joined them together, so no one should
separate them.

48. 2 9:46 Some Greek copies add verse 46, which is the same as
verse 48. 3 9:49 Some Greek copies add, and every sacrifice will be
salted with salt. In the Old Testament salt was put on sacrifices. This
verse could mean that Jesus followers will be tested by suffering and
that they must offer themselves to God as sacrifices. 4 10:4 Moses

10Later, when the followers and Jesus were in

the house, they asked him again about the question of divorce. 11 He said, Any man who
divorces his wife and marries another woman
has sinned against his wife. He is guilty of adultery.* 12And the woman who divorces her husband and marries another man is also guilty of
adultery.

brought their small children to Jesus, so

that he could lay his hands on them to bless them.
But the followers told the people to stop bringing
their children to him. 14Jesus saw what happened.
He did not like his followers telling the children not
to come. So he said to them, Let the little children
come to me. Dont stop them, because Gods
kingdom* belongs to people who are like these little
children. 15The truth is, you must accept Gods
kingdom like a little child accepts things, or you will
never enter it. 16Then Jesus held the children in his
arms. He laid his hands on them and blessed them.

17Jesus started to leave, but a man ran to him

and bowed down on his knees before Jesus. The
man asked, Good teacher, what must I do to get
the life that never ends?
18Jesus answered, Why do you call me good?
Only God is good. 19And you know his commands: You must not murder anyone, you must
not commit adultery,* you must not steal, you
must not lie, you must not cheat, you must respect
your father and mother .1
20The man said, Teacher, I have obeyed all
these commands since I was a boy.
21Jesus looked at the man in a way that showed
how much he cared for him. He said, There is
still one thing you need to do. Go and sell everything you have. Give the money to those who are
poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then
come and follow me.
22The man was upset when Jesus told him to
give away his money. He didnt want to do this,
because he was very rich. So he went away sad.

them, It will be very hard for a rich person to

32Jesus and those with him were on their way to

Jerusalem. He was at the front of the group. His
followers were wondering what was happening,
and the people who followed behind them were
feeling afraid. Jesus gathered the twelve apostles*
again and talked with them alone. He told them
what would happen in Jerusalem. 33He said, We
are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man* will be
handed over to the leading priests and teachers of
the law. They will say that he must die and will
hand him over to the foreigners, 34who will laugh
at him and spit on him. They will beat him with
whips and kill him. But on the third day after his
death, he will rise to life again.

38Jesus said, You dont understand what you

are asking. Can you drink from the cup1 that I
must drink from? Can you be baptized with the
same baptism2 that I must go through?
39The sons answered, Yes, we can!
Jesus said to the sons, It is true that you will
drink from the cup that I drink from. And you will
be baptized with the same baptism that I must go
through. 40But it is not for me to say who will sit
at my right or my left. God has prepared those
places for the ones he chooses.
41When the other ten followers heard this, they
were angry with James and John. 42Jesus called all
the followers together. He said, The non-Jewish
people have men they call rulers. You know that
those rulers love to show their power over the
people. And their important leaders love to use all
their authority over the people. 43But it should not
be that way with you. Whoever wants to be your
leader must be your servant. 44Whoever wants to
be first must serve the rest of you like a slave.
45Follow my example: Even the Son of Man* did
not come for people to serve him. He came to serve
others and to give his life to save many people.

46Then

they came to the town of Jericho. When

Jesus left there with his followers, a large crowd
was with them. A blind man named Bartimaeus
(meaning, son of Timaeus) was sitting by the
road. He was always begging for money. 47He
heard that Jesus from Nazareth was walking by.
So he began shouting, Jesus, Son of David, *
please help me!
48Many people criticized the blind man and told
him to be quiet. But he shouted more and more,
Son of David, please help me!
49Jesus stopped and said, Tell him to come
here.
So they called the blind man and said, You
can be happy now. Stand up! Jesus is calling
you. 50The blind man stood quickly. He left his
coat there and went to Jesus.
51Jesus asked the man, What do you want me
to do for you?
He answered, Teacher, I want to see again.
1 10:38 cup A symbol of suffering. Jesus used the idea of drinking from
a cup to mean accepting the suffering he would face in the terrible
events that were soon to come. Also in verse 39. 2 10:38 baptized with
the same baptism Baptism, which usually means to be immersed in
water, has a special meaning herebeing immersed or buried in troubles. Also in verse 39.

Ni`te oameni care stteau acolo i-au ntrebat: De ce dezlega^i mgru`ul? 6Ucenicii

1 Jesus and his followers were coming

closer to Jerusalem. They came to the
towns of Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of
Olives.* There Jesus sent two of his followers to
do something. 2He said to them, Go to the town
you can see there. When you enter it, you will
find a young donkey that no one has ever ridden.
Untie it and bring it here to me. 3If anyone asks
you why you are taking the donkey, tell them,
The Master needs it. He will send it back
soon.
4The followers went into the town. They found a
young donkey tied in the street near the door of a
house, and they untied it. 5Some people were
standing there and saw this. They asked, What are
you doing? Why are you untying that donkey?
6The followers answered the way Jesus told them,
and the people let them take the donkey.
7The followers brought the donkey to Jesus.
They put their coats on it, and Jesus sat on it.
8Many people spread their coats on the road for
Jesus. Others cut branches in the fields and spread
the branches on the road. 9Some of them were
walking ahead of Jesus. Others were walking
behind him. Everyone shouted,

Praise1 Him!
Welcome! God bless the one who
comes in the name of the Lord!

went to Jerusalem and entered the

Temple* area. He began driving out the people
who were buying and selling things there. He
turned over the tables that belonged to those who
were exchanging different kinds of money. And he
turned over the benches of those who were selling
doves. 16 He refused to allow anyone to carry
things through the Temple area. 17Then Jesus
began teaching the people and said, It is written in
the Scriptures,* My house will be called a house
of prayer for all people.1 But you are changing
Gods house into a hiding place for thieves.2
18When the leading priests and the teachers of
the law heard what Jesus said, they began trying
to find a way to kill him. They were afraid of him
because all the people were amazed at his
teaching. 19That night Jesus and his followers left
the city.

20The

next morning Jesus was walking with his

followers. They saw the fig tree that he spoke to
the day before. The tree was dry and dead, even
the roots. 21Peter remembered the tree and said to
Jesus, Teacher, look! Yesterday, you told that fig
tree to die. Now it is dry and dead!
22Jesus answered, Have faith in God. 23The
truth is, you can say to this mountain, Go, mountain, fall into the sea. And if you have no doubts
in your mind and believe that what you say will
happen, then God will do it for you. 24So I tell
you to ask for what you want in prayer. And if
you believe that you have received those things,
then they will be yours. 25When you are praying,
and you remember that you are angry with
another person about something, then forgive that
person. Forgive them so that your Father in

The leading priests, the teachers of the law, and

Tell us! What authority do you have to do these
things? Who gave you this authority?

answer my question. Then I will tell you whose
authority I use to do these things. 30Tell me: When
John baptized* people, did his authority come from
God or was it only from other people? Answer me.

baptism was from God, then he will say, Then
why didnt you believe John? 32But we cant say
that Johns baptism was from someone else.

cltorie. 2Cnd a venit vremea culesului,

used stories to teach the people. He

said, A man planted a vineyard.* He put a
wall around the field and dug a hole for a winepress.* Then he built a tower. He leased the land
to some farmers and left for a trip.
2Later, it was time for the grapes to be picked.
So the man sent a servant to the farmers to get his
share of the grapes. 3But the farmers grabbed the
servant and beat him. They sent him away with
nothing. 4Then the man sent another servant to the
farmers. They hit this servant on the head, showing
no respect for him. 5So the man sent another servant. The farmers killed this servant. The man sent
many other servants to the farmers. The farmers
beat some of them and killed the others.
6The man had only one person left to send to
the farmers. It was his son. He loved his son, but
he decided to send him. He said, The farmers
will respect my son.
7But the farmers said to each other, This is
the owners son, and this vineyard will be his. If
we kill him, it will be ours. 8So they took the son,
threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
9So what will the man who owns the vineyard
do? He will go and kill those farmers. Then he
will lease the land to others. 10Surely you have
read this in the Scriptures*:

think about you. All people are the same to you.
And you teach the truth about Gods way. Tell us,
is it right to pay taxes to Caesar*? Should we pay

coin and he asked, Whose picture is on the coin?
And whose name is written on it? They answered,
It is Caesars picture and Caesars name.

belongs to God. The men were amazed at what

20 There were seven brothers. The first brother
married but died. He had no children. 21So the
second brother married the woman. But he also
died and had no children. The same thing happened with the third brother. 22All seven brothers
married the woman and died. None of the brothers
had any children with her. And she was the last to

die. 23But all seven brothers had married her. So

at the time when people rise from death, whose
wife will she be?
24 Jesus answered, How could you be so
wrong? Its because you dont know what the
Scriptures* say. And you dont know anything
about Gods power. 25When people rise from
death, there will be no marriage. People will not
be married to each other. All people will be like
angels in heaven. 26Surely you have read what
God said about people rising from death. In the
book where Moses wrote about the burning bush,1
it says that God told Moses this: I am the God of
Abraham, * the God of Isaac, * and the God of
Jacob.*2 27So they were not dead, because he is
the God only of living people. You Sadducees are
so wrong!

Domn. 30i trebuie s-L iube`ti pe Domnul,

28One of the teachers of the law came to Jesus.

He heard Jesus arguing with the Sadducees* and
the Pharisees. * He saw that Jesus gave good
answers to their questions. So he asked him,
Which of the commands is most important?

our God is the only Lord. 30Love the Lord your
God with all your heart, all your soul, all your
mind, and all your strength.3 31The second most
important command is this: Love your neighbor4
the same as you love yourself.5 These two commands are the most important.

others the same as you love yourself. These commands are more important than all the animals
and sacrifices we offer to God.

So he said to him, You are close to Gods
kingdom.* And after that time, no one was brave
enough to ask Jesus any more questions.

Is the Christ Davids Son or Davids Lord?

was teaching in the Temple* area. He

asked, Why do the teachers of the law say that
the Christ* is the son of David*? 36With the help
of the Holy Spirit,* David himself says,
The Lord God said to my Lord:
Sit by me at my right side,

Ave^i grij cu nv^torii Legii. Lor le face

38 Jesus continued teaching. He said, Be

careful of the teachers of the law. They like to
walk around wearing clothes that look important.
And they love for people to show respect to them
in the marketplaces. 39They love to have the most
important seats in the synagogues* and the places
of honor at banquets. 40But they cheat widows
and take their homes. Then they try to make themselves look good by saying long prayers. God will
punish them very much.

rich people put in a lot of money. 42Then a poor
widow came and put in two very small copper

43Jesus called his followers to him and said,
This poor widow put in only two small coins.
But the truth is, she gave more than all those rich
people. 44They have plenty, and they gave only
what they did not need. This woman is very poor,

MARK 13:216

2Jesus said, Do you see these great buildings?

They will all be destroyed. Every stone will be
thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be
left on another.
3 Later, Jesus was sitting at a place on the
Mount of Olives. * He was alone with Peter,
James, John, and Andrew. They could all see the
Temple, and they said to Jesus, 4Tell us when
these things will happen. And what will show us it
is time for them to happen?
5 Jesus said to them, Be careful! Dont let
anyone fool you. 6Many people will come and use
my name. They will say, I am the one and will
fool many people. 7You will hear about wars that
are being fought. And you will hear stories about
other wars beginning. But dont be afraid. These
things must happen before the end comes.
8Nations will fight against other nations. Kingdoms will fight against other kingdoms. There will
be times when there is no food for people to eat.
And there will be earthquakes in different places.
These things are only the beginning of troubles,
like the first pains of a woman giving birth.
9You must be careful. People will arrest you
and take you to be judged for being my followers. They will beat you in their synagogues.*
You will be forced to stand before kings and
governors. You will tell them about me. 10Before
the end comes, the Good News* must be told to
all people. 11Even when you are arrested and put
on trial, dont worry about what you will say.
Say whatever God tells you at the time. It will
not really be you speaking. It will be the Holy
Spirit.*
12Brothers will turn against their own brothers
and give them to be killed. Fathers will turn
against their own children and give them to be
killed. Children will fight against their own parents
and find ways for their parents to be killed. 13All
people will hate you because you follow me. But
those who remain faithful to the end will be saved.
14You will see the terrible thing that causes
destruction.1 You will see this thing standing in
the place where it should not be. (Reader, I trust
you understand what this means.) Everyone in
Judea at that time should run away to the mountains. 15They should run away without wasting
time to stop for anything. If someone is on the
roof of their house, they must not go down to take
things out of the house. 16If someone is in the
field, they must not go back to get a coat.

17During that time it will be hard for women

who are pregnant or have small babies. 18Pray that
these things will not happen in winter, 19because
those days will be full of trouble. There will be
more trouble than has ever happened since the
beginning, when God made the world. And
nothing that bad will ever happen again. 20But the
Lord has decided to make that terrible time short.
If it were not made short, no one could survive.
But the Lord will make that time short to help the
special people he has chosen.
21 Someone might say to you at that time,
Look, there is the Christ*! Or another person
might say, There he is! But dont believe them.
22False Christs and false prophets* will come and
do miracles and wonders, 1 trying to fool the
people God has chosen, if that is possible. 23So be
careful. Now I have warned you about all this
before it happens.
24During the days following that time of trouble,

soarele se va ntuneca
`i luna nu va mai lumina.
25 Stelele vor cdea din cer,
iar corpurile cere`ti vor fi cltinate.1

The sun will become dark,

and the moon will not give light.
25 The stars will fall from the sky,
and everything in the sky will be changed.2

26 Then people will see the Son of Man *

coming in the clouds with great power and glory.*
27He will send his angels all around the earth.
They will gather his chosen people from every

28The fig tree teaches us a lesson: When the
fig trees branches become green and soft, and
new leaves begin to grow, then you know that
summer is near. 29In the same way, when you see
all these things happening, you will know that the
time3 is near, ready to come. 30I assure you that
all these things will happen while some of the
people of this time are still living. 31The whole
world, earth and sky, will be destroyed, but my
words will last forever.
32No one knows when that day or time will be.
The Son and the angels in heaven dont know
when that day or time will be. Only the Father
knows. 33Be careful! Always be ready. You dont
know when that time will be.
34Its like a man who goes on a trip and leaves

avea un parfum foarte scump fcut numai
din nard*. Ea a spart vasul de alabastru `i a
turnat parfumul pe capul lui Isus.

trebuie s se risipeasc atta parfum? 5Acest
parfum s-ar fi putut vinde cu trei sute de
dinari `i banii s-ar fi putut da sracilor. i

Mine. 7Pentru c pe sraci i ve^i avea ntotdeauna cu voi `i i pute^i ajuta oricnd
dori^i. Dar pe Mine nu M ve^i avea ntotdeauna. 8Ea a fcut ce a putut. A turnat parfum pe trupul Meu. i ea a fcut aceasta,

was in Bethany at the house of Simon

the leper.* While he was eating there, a woman
came to him. She had an alabaster* jar filled with
expensive perfume made of pure nard. * She
opened the jar and poured the perfume on Jesus
head.
4Some of the followers there saw this. They
were upset and complained to each other. They
said, Why waste that perfume? 5It was worth a
full years pay.1 It could have been sold and the
money given to those who are poor. And they
told the woman what a bad thing she had done.
6 Jesus said, Leave her alone. Why are you
giving her such trouble? She did a very good
thing for me. 7You will always have the poor with
you,2 and you can help them any time you want.
But you will not always have me. 8This woman
did the only thing she could do for me. She
poured perfume on my body before I die to prepare it for burial. 9The Good News* will be told to
people all over the world. And I can assure you
that everywhere the Good News is told, the story
of what this woman did will also be told, and
people will remember her.

Unleavened Bread * the day the lambs were
killed for the Passover.* Jesus followers came to
him and said, We will go and prepare everything
for you to eat the Passover meal. Where do you
want us to have the meal?
13Jesus sent two of his followers into the city.
He said to them, Go into the city. You will see a
man carrying a jar of water. He will come to you.
Follow him. 14He will go into a house. Tell the
owner of the house, The Teacher asks that you
show us the room where he and his followers can
eat the Passover meal. 15The owner will show
you a large room upstairs that is ready for us. Prepare the meal for us there.
16So the followers left and went into the city.
Everything happened the way Jesus said. So the
followers prepared the Passover meal.
17In the evening, Jesus went to that house with
the twelve apostles.* 18While they were all at the
table eating, he said, Believe me when I say that
one of you will turn against meone of you
eating with me now.
19 The followers were very sad to hear this.
Each one said to Jesus, Surely I am not the one!
20Jesus answered, The man who is against me
is one of you twelve. He is the one who dips his
bread into the same bowl with me. 21The Son of
Man* will suffer what the Scriptures* say will
happen to him. But it will be very bad for the one
who gives the Son of Man over to be killed. It
would be better for him if he were never born.

team `i s Se tulbure. 34 El le-a spus:

35Isus S-a dus pu^in mai departe, a czut

Dar s nu se fac voia Mea, ci voia Ta!
37 Apoi Isus S-a ntors `i i-a gsit dormind. i i-a spus lui Petru: Simone, dormi?

and his followers went to a place named

Gethsemane. He said to them, Sit here while I
pray. 33But he told Peter, James, and John to
come with him. He began to be very distressed
and troubled, 34and he said to them, My heart is
so heavy with grief, I feel like I am dying. Wait
here and stay awake.
35Jesus went on a little farther away from them,
fell to the ground, and prayed. He asked that, if
possible, he would not have this time of suffering.
36He said, Abba,1 Father! You can do all things.
Dont make me drink from this cup.2 But do what
you want, not what I want.
37Then he went back to his followers and found
them sleeping. He said to Peter, Simon, why are
you sleeping? Could you not stay awake with me
for one hour? 38Stay awake and pray for strength
against temptation. Your spirit wants to do what is
right, but your body is weak.

1 14:36 Abba An Aramaic word that was used by Jewish children as a

name for their fathers. 2 14:36 cup A symbol of suffering. Jesus used
the idea of drinking from a cup to mean accepting the suffering he would
face in the terrible events that were soon to come.

43Imediat dup aceea, n timp ce Isus nc

narma^i cu sbii `i ciomege, trimi`i de marii
preo^i, de nv^torii Legii `i de btrni.
44Trdtorul stabilise cu ei un semn: Cel

Aresta^i-L `i pzi^i-L cnd a^i pus mna pe

Isus `i I-a spus: nv^torule! Apoi L-a
srutat. 46Oamenii au pus mna pe Isus `i
L-au arestat. 47Unul din cei care erau aproape `i-a scos sabia `i l-a lovit pe slujitorul
marelui preot, tindu-i urechea.
48Apoi Isus le-a spus: A^i venit s M
prinde^i cu sbii `i ciomege, de parc a` fi un
ho^. 49Am fost n fiecare zi cu voi, nv^ndu-i pe oameni n Templu* `i nu M-a^i arestat. Dar trebuia s se ntmple a`a, pentru ca

fugit dezbrcat.

43While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of

the twelve apostles,* came there. He had a big
crowd of people with him, all carrying swords and
clubs. They had been sent from the leading priests,
the teachers of the law, and the older Jewish leaders.
44Judas1 planned to do something to show them
which one was Jesus. He said, The one I kiss will
be Jesus. Arrest him and guard him while you
lead him away. 45So Judas went over to Jesus
and said, Teacher! Then he kissed him. 46The
men grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 47One of the
followers standing near Jesus grabbed his sword,
pulled it out, and swung it at the servant of the
high priest* and cut off his ear.
48Then Jesus said, You came to get me with
swords and clubs like I am a criminal. 49Every
day I was with you teaching in the Temple* area.
You did not arrest me there. But all these things
have happened to show the full meaning of what
the Scriptures* said. 50Then all of Jesus followers left him and ran away.
51One of those following Jesus was a young
man wearing only a linen cloth. When the people
tried to grab him, 52he left the cloth in their hands
and ran away naked.

tried to find something that Jesus had done wrong
so they could kill him. But the council could find
no proof that would allow them to kill Jesus.
56Many people came and told lies against Jesus, but
they all said different things. None of them agreed.
57Then some others stood and told more lies
against Jesus. They said, 58We heard this man1

Temple not made by human hands. 59But also

the high priest stood before everyone

and said to Jesus, These people said things
against you. Do you have something to say about
their charges? Are they telling the truth? 61But
Jesus said nothing to answer him.
The high priest asked Jesus another question:
Are you the Christ,* the Son of the blessed God?
62Jesus answered, Yes, I am the Son of God.
And in the future you will see the Son of Man*
sitting at the right side of God All-Powerful. And
you will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds
of heaven.
63When the high priest heard this, he tore his
clothes in anger. He said, We dont need any
more witnesses! 64You all heard these insults to
God. What do you think?
Everyone agreed that Jesus was guilty and must
be killed. 65Some of the people there spit at him.
They covered his eyes and hit him with their fists.
They said, Be a prophet2 and tell us who hit you!
Then the guards led Jesus away and beat him.

1Very early in the morning, the leading

priests, the older Jewish leaders, the
teachers of the law, and the whole high council
decided what to do with Jesus. They tied him, led
him away, and turned him over to governor
Pilate.*
2Pilate asked Jesus, Are you the king of the
Jews?
Jesus answered, Yes, that is right.
3 The leading priests accused Jesus of many
things. 4So Pilate asked Jesus another question. He
said, You can see that these people are accusing
you of many things. Why dont you answer?
5But Jesus still did not answer, and this really
surprised Pilate.

6Every year at the Passover* time the governor
would free one prisonerwhichever one the
people wanted. 7There was a man in prison at that
time named Barabbas. He and the rebels with him
had been put in prison for committing murder
during a riot.
8The people came to Pilate and asked him to
free a prisoner as he always did. 9Pilate asked
them, Do you want me to free the king of the
Jews? 10Pilate knew that the leading priests had
given Jesus to him because they were jealous of
him. 11 But the leading priests persuaded the
people to ask Pilate to free Barabbas, not Jesus.
12 Pilate asked the people again, So what
should I do with this man you call the king of the
Jews?
13The people shouted, Kill him on a cross!
14Pilate asked, Why? What wrong has he done?

But the people shouted louder and louder, Kill

Barabbas for them. And he told the soldiers to
beat Jesus with whips. Then he gave Jesus to the
soldiers to be killed on a cross.
16Pilates soldiers took Jesus into the governors
palace (called the Praetorium). They called all the
other soldiers together. 17They put a purple robe on
Jesus, made a crown from thorny branches, and put
it on his head. 18Then they began shouting, Welcome, king of the Jews! 19They kept on beating
his head with a stick and spitting on him. Then
they bowed down on their knees and pretended to
honor him as a king. 20After they finished making
fun of him, they took off the purple robe and put
his own clothes on him again. Then they led him
out of the palace to be killed on a cross.

was a man from Cyrene named Simon

walking into the city from the fields. He was the
father of Alexander and Rufus. The soldiers
forced him to carry Jesus cross. 22They led Jesus
to the place called Golgotha. (Golgotha means
The Place of the Skull.) 23There they gave him
some wine mixed with myrrh,* but he refused to
drink it. 24The soldiers nailed Jesus to a cross.
Then they divided his clothes among themselves,
throwing dice to see who would get what.
25It was nine oclock in the morning when they
nailed Jesus to the cross. 26There was a sign with
the charge against him written on it. It said, THE
KING OF THE JEWS. 27They also put two criminals
on crosses beside Jesusone on the right and the
other on the left. [28]1
29 People walked by and said bad things to
Jesus. They shook their heads and said, You said
you could destroy the Temple* and build it again
in three days. 30So save yourself! Come down
from that cross!
31The leading priests and the teachers of the
law were also there. They made fun of Jesus the
same as the other people did. They said to each
other, He saved others, but he cant save himself!
32If he is really the Christ,* the king of Israel,* he
should come down from the cross now. When we
see this, then we will believe in him. The criminals on the crosses beside Jesus also said bad
things to him.

means the day before the Sabbath* day.) It was
becoming dark. 43A man named Joseph from Arimathea was brave enough to go to Pilate and ask
for Jesus body. Joseph was an important member
of the high council. He was one of the people who
wanted Gods kingdom* to come.
44Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was
already dead. So he called for the army officer* in
charge and asked him if Jesus was already dead.
45When Pilate heard it from the officer, he told
Joseph he could have the body.
46Joseph bought some linen cloth. He took the
body from the cross, wrapped it in the linen, and
put the body in a tomb* that was dug in a wall of
rock. Then he closed the tomb by rolling a large

next day after the Sabbath * day,

Mary from Magdala, Salome, and Mary
the mother of James bought some sweet-smelling
spices to put on Jesus body. 2Very early on that
day, the first day of the week, the women were
going to the tomb.* It was very early after sunrise.
3The women said to each other, There is a large
stone covering the entrance of the tomb. Who will
move the stone for us?
4Then the women looked and saw that the stone
was moved. The stone was very large, but it was
moved away from the entrance. 5 The women
walked into the tomb and saw a young man there
wearing a white robe. He was sitting on the right
side of the tomb. The women were afraid.
6But the man said, Dont be afraid. You are
looking for Jesus from Nazareth, the one who was
killed on a cross. He has risen from death! He is
not here. Look, here is the place they put him
when he was dead. 7Now go and tell his followers.
And be sure to tell Peter. Tell them, Jesus is going
into Galilee and will be there before you come.
You will see him there, as he told you before.
8The women were very afraid and confused.
They left the tomb and ran away. They did not
tell about what happened, because they were
afraid.1

C^iva ucenici l vd pe Isus

Some Followers See Jesus

(Mt. 28:910; Jn. 20:1118; Lk. 24:1335)

6El le-a spus: Nu v teme^i! Voi l cuta^i pe Isus din Nazaret care a fost rstignit.
El a nviat. Nu este aici. Uita^i-v la locul
unde a fost a`ezat. 7Dar duce^i-v `i spune^i
ucenicilor Lui `i lui Petru c Isus merge naintea voastr n Galileea. Voi l ve^i vedea
acolo, a`a cum v-a spus.

ce a nviat, n diminea^a primei

Magdalena, cea din care scosese `apte
duhuri rele. 10Maria s-a dus la ucenicii Lui
`i le-a spus c L-a vzut pe Isus. Ucenicii
erau tri`ti `i plngeau. 11Cnd au auzit c
Isus era viu `i c Maria l vzuse, nu au
crezut-o.
12Apoi Isus li S-a artat, sub o alt nf^i`are, altor doi ucenici care se duceau la ^ar.

9Jesus

rose from death early on the first day of

the week. He showed himself first to Mary from
Magdala. One time in the past, Jesus had forced
seven demons* out of Mary. 10After Mary saw
Jesus, she went and told his followers. They were
very sad and were crying. 11But Mary told them
that Jesus was alive. She said that she had seen
Jesus, but they did not believe her.
12Later, Jesus showed himself to two followers
while they were walking in the country. But Jesus
did not look the same as before he was killed.

1 16:8 Some of the oldest Greek copies end the book here. A few later
copies have this shorter ending: But they soon gave all the instructions
to Peter and those with him. After that, Jesus himself sent them out from
east to west with the holy message that will never changethat people
can be saved forever.

followers went back to the other followers and told them what happened. Again, the
followers did not believe them.

14Later,

trziu, Isus a aprut n fa^a celor

unsprezece n timp ce ei mncau. El i-a certat pentru lipsa lor de credin^ `i pentru
min^ile lor nchise, pentru c ei nu i crezuser pe cei care l vzuser dup ce nviase.
15 Isus le-a spus: Duce^i-v n toat
lumea `i spune^i Vestea Bun* fiecrui om.
16Oricine crede `i va fi botezat* va fi mntuit. Dar cine nu crede va fi condamnat. 17Iar
cei ce cred vor putea face aceste minuni: n
Numele Meu vor scoate duhuri rele `i vor
vorbi n limbi. 18Ei vor lua `erpi n mn `i,
cnd vor bea otrav, nu vor p^i nimic. `i
vor pune minile peste oameni bolnavi `i ei
se vor face bine.

Jesus showed himself to the eleven followers while they were eating. He criticized them
because they had so little faith. They were stubborn and refused to believe the people who said
Jesus had risen from death.
15He said to them, Go everywhere in the world.
Tell the Good News * to everyone. 16Whoever
believes and is baptized* will be saved. But those
who do not believe will be judged guilty. 17And the
people who believe will be able to do these things
as proof: They will use my name to force demons*
out of people. They will speak in languages they
never learned. 18If they pick up snakes or drink any
poison, they will not be hurt. They will lay their
hands on sick people, and they will get well.

19After the Lord Jesus said these things to his

followers, he was carried up into heaven. There,
Jesus sat at the right side of God. 20The followers
went everywhere in the world telling people the
Good News, * and the Lord helped them. By
giving them power to do miracles * the Lord
proved that their message was true.
