Mark 9
1 And He said to them, “I tell you assuredly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God present with power.”
And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John and led them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. Then He was transfigured in front of them;
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.
3 His clothing became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth is able to whiten.
And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
4 And Elijah appeared to them, along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.
And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Well Peter reacted by saying to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three shelters: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 (Because they were terrified, he didn't know what to say.)
For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
7 With that a cloud was covering them and a Voice came out of the cloud: “This is my Son, the beloved. Listen to Him!”
And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him.
8 And then, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.
9 Now as they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them not to recount to any one the things they had seen until the Son of the Man had risen from the dead.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.
10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the ‘rising from the dead’ meant.
And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
11 And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
12 So in answer He said to them: “Elijah indeed does come first, and restores all things; also how it is written concerning the Son of the Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt.
Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.
13 Still, I say to you that ‘Elijah’ has also come, and they did to him as they wished, as it is written about him.”
But I say to you, that Elias also is come, (and they have done to him whatsoever they would,) as it is written of him.
14 Upon coming to the disciples, He saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 Well as soon as the crowd saw Him they were excited and ran to greet Him.
And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
17 In answer a man in the crowd said: “Teacher, I brought you my son, who has a mute spirit.
And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
18 And wherever it seizes him it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. Indeed, I spoke to your disciples, that they might cast it out, but they could not.”
Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
19 But He answered him by saying: “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you, how long shall I put up with you? Bring him to me!”
Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 So they brought him to Him. Upon seeing Him the spirit convulsed him, and falling to the ground he started wallowing, foaming at the mouth.
And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
21 Then He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said: “From childhood.
And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
22 Really, it has often thrown him both into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
23 Jesus said to him, “It's ‘if you can believe’; all things are possible to the one who believes.”
And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the crowd was running up, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I am commanding you, get out of him and never enter him again!”
And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
26 Then it yelled, convulsed him violently, and came out. Well he looked to be dead; so much so that many said, “He's dead.”
And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stayed on his feet.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
28 Well upon His entering a house His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn't we cast it out?”
And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except prayer and fasting.”
And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30 Having gone out from there they were passing through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know;
And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
31 because He was teaching His disciples and saying to them, “The Son of the Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and once killed he will rise on the third day.”
And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
32 But they were not understanding this information, yet were afraid to ask Him.
But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 Then He came to Capernaum; and once in the house He asked them, “What were you debating among yourselves on the road?”
And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
34 But they kept silent, because on the road they had debated among themselves who was greater.
But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
35 So He sat down, called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.
36 Then He took a child and stood him in their midst, and embracing him said to them,
And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives not only me, but the One who sent me.”
Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 So John answered Him saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, one who doesn't follow us; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow us.”
John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.
39 But Jesus said: “Do not forbid him, because no one who works a miracle in my name can soon afterward speak evil of me.
But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.
40 For he who is not against you is for you.
For he that is not against you, is for you.
41 Further, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, I tell you with certainty, he will by no means lose his reward.
For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe into me to fall, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 Further, if your hand is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life maimed than having both hands to go away into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire: (Geenna g1067)
44 where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
45 And if your foot is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life lame than having both feet to be thrown into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire: (Geenna g1067)
46 where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 And if your eye is causing you to fall, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than having both eyes to be thrown into the Gehenna of fire— (Geenna g1067)
And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire: (Geenna g1067)
48 where ‘the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
49 “Further, everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
