Mark 9
1 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
And he was saying to them: Verily, say unto you—There, are, certain of those here standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God, already come in power.
2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
And, after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart, alone, —and he was transformed before them;
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
and his garments became brilliant, exceeding white, such as, no fuller on the earth, is able, so, to whiten.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
And there appeared unto them Elijah, with Moses, —and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
And Peter, answering, saith unto Jesus—Rabbi! it is, delightful, for us to be, here, —let us therefore make three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one;
6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become.
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
And there came a cloud, overshadowing them, and there came a voice, out of the cloud, —This is, my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him.
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
And, suddenly looking round, no longer, saw they, anyone, with them, save, Jesus only.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, he charged them, that, unto no one, they should narrate what they had seen, save whenever the Son of Man, from among the dead should arise.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
And, the word, they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was, the rising from among the dead.
11 They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
And they began to question him, saying—The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?
12 He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
And, he, said unto them—Elijah, indeed, coming first, restoreth all things; and yet, how is it written, regarding the Son of Man, that, many things, he must suffer, and be set at nought?
13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
But I say unto you—Elijah also, hath come, and they have done with him, whatsoever they pleased, —according as it is written regarding him.
14 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
And, coming unto the disciples, they saw a large multitude around them, and Scribes discussing with them.
15 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
And, straightway, all the multitude, seeing him, were greatly amazed, and, running near, began saluting him.
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
And he questioned them—What are ye discussing with them?
17 One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
And one out of the multitude answered him—Teacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
18 and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
and, wheresoever it seizeth him, it teareth him, and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and weareth himself out; —and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast it out, and they could not.
19 He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
But, he, answering, saith—O faithless generation! how long, shall I be with you? how long, shall I bear with you? Bring him unto me!
20 They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
And they brought him unto him. And, seeing him, the spirit, straightway tare him, —and, falling upon the ground, he wallowed, foaming.
21 He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
And he questioned his father—How long a time, is it, that, this, hath befallen him? and he said—From childhood;
22 Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
and, many times, hath it cast him, both into fire, and into waters, that it might destroy him; but, if anything be possible to thee, help us, have compassion upon us.
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
And, Jesus, said unto him—As for this, If it be possible to thee, all things, are possible, to him who hath faith.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
Straightway crying out, the father of the child was saying—I have faith! help my, want, of faith.
25 When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
And Jesus, seeing that a multitude is running together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying unto it—Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I, give orders unto thee: Come forth out of him, and do not, any more, enter into him.
26 After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
And, crying out, and greatly mangling him, it came forth; and he became as if dead, so that, the more part, were saying—He is dead!
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
But, Jesus, grasping his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
And, when he had gone into a house, his disciples, privately, were questioning him—Why, were, we, not able to cast it out?
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
And he said unto them—This kind, by nothing, can come out, save, by prayer.
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
And, from thence, going forth, they were journeying through Galilee, —and he was not wishing that any should get to know it;
31 for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
for he was teaching his disciples and saying [unto them], The Son of Man, is to be delivered up, into the hands of men, and they will slay him, —and, being slain, after three days, will he arise.
32 But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
But they were not understanding the declaration, and feared, to question, him.
33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
And they came into Capernaum. And, happening to be, in the house, he was questioning them—What, in the way, were ye discussing?
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
And they were silent; for, with one another, they had discussed in the way, who should be greatest.
35 He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
And, taking a seat, he addressed the twelve, and saith unto them—If anyone willeth to be, first, he shall be, least of all, and, minister of all.
36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
And, taking a child, he set it in the midst of them, —and, folding it in his arms, said unto them—
37 “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”
Whosoever, unto, [one of] these children, shall give welcome, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, not, unto me, giveth welcome, but, unto him that sent me.
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”
John said unto him—Teacher! we saw someone, in thy name, casting out demons, —and we forbade him, because he was not following with us.
39 But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
But, Jesus, said—Do not forbid him! For, no one, is there, who shall do a work of power in my name, and have power, soon, to revile me;
40 For whoever is not against us is on our side.
For, whosoever is not, against, us, is, for, us;
41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
For, whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water, in name that, Christ’s, ye are, Verily! I say unto you, in nowise, shall lose his reward.
42 “Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones that believe, it is, seemly, for him, rather, if there is hung a large millstone about his neck, and he is cast into the sea.
43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
And, if thy hand shall cause thee to stumble, cut it off, —it is, seemly, for thee, maimed, to enter into life, rather than having, the two hands, to depart into the gehenna, into the fire that is not quenched; (Geenna g1067)
44 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— (Geenna g1067)
And, if thy foot be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, —it is, seemly, for thee, to enter into life, lame, rather than having, the two feet, to be cast into the gehenna; (Geenna g1067)
46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, (Geenna g1067)
And, if thine eye be causing thee to stumble, thrust it out, —it is, seemly, for thee, one-eye, to enter into the kingdom of God, rather than having, two eyes, to be cast into gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
48 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
Where, their worm, dieth not, and, the fire, is not quenched,
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
For, everyone, with fire, shall be salted.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Salt is, good: but, if, salt, become, saltless, wherewith will ye, prepare, it? Have, within yourselves, salt, and be at peace, one with another.
