Mark 9
1 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.
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
2 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;
And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, and leads them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3 and his garments became brilliant, exceeding white, such as, no fuller on the earth, is able, so, to whiten.
And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no launderer on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elijah, with Moses, —and they were conversing with Jesus.
And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
5 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;
And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become.
For he knows not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 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.
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 And, suddenly looking round, no longer, saw they, anyone, with them, save, Jesus only.
And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 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.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10 And, the word, they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was, the rising from among the dead.
And they kept that saying (logos) with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
11 And they began to question him, saying—The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
12 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?
And he answered and told them, Elijah verily comes first, and restores all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nothing.
13 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.
But I say unto you, That Elijah is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
14 And, coming unto the disciples, they saw a large multitude around them, and Scribes discussing with them.
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15 And, straightway, all the multitude, seeing him, were greatly amazed, and, running near, began saluting him.
And immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16 And he questioned them—What are ye discussing with them?
And he asked the scribes, What question all of you with them?
17 And one out of the multitude answered him—Teacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto you my son, which has a dumb spirit; (pneuma)
18 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.
And where ever he takes him, he tears him: and he foams, and gnashes with his teeth, and pins away: and I spoke to your disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19 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!
He answers him, and says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 And they brought him unto him. And, seeing him, the spirit, straightway tare him, —and, falling upon the ground, he wallowed, foaming.
And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit (pneuma) tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he questioned his father—How long a time, is it, that, this, hath befallen him? and he said—From childhood;
And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 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.
And frequently it has cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you can do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 And, Jesus, said unto him—As for this, If it be possible to thee, all things, are possible, to him who hath faith.
Jesus said unto him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.
24 Straightway crying out, the father of the child was saying—I have faith! help my, want, of faith.
And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help you mine unbelief.
25 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.
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, (pneuma) saying unto him, You dumb and deaf spirit, (pneuma) I charge you, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 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!
And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But, Jesus, grasping his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 And, when he had gone into a house, his disciples, privately, were questioning him—Why, were, we, not able to cast it out?
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29 And he said unto them—This kind, by nothing, can come out, save, by prayer.
And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30 And, from thence, going forth, they were journeying through Galilee, —and he was not wishing that any should get to know it;
And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
31 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.
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
32 But they were not understanding the declaration, and feared, to question, him.
But they understood not that saying, (rhema) and were afraid to ask him.
33 And they came into Capernaum. And, happening to be, in the house, he was questioning them—What, in the way, were ye discussing?
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that all of you disputed among yourselves by the way?
34 And they were silent; for, with one another, they had discussed in the way, who should be greatest.
But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
35 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.
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and says unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And, taking a child, he set it in the midst of them, —and, folding it in his arms, said unto them—
And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
37 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.
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me: and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him that sent me.
38 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.
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name, and he follows not us: and we forbad him, because he follows not us.
39 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;
But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 For, whosoever is not, against, us, is, for, us;
For he that is not against us is on our part.
41 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.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because all of you belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 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.
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 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)
And if your hand offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life physically disabled, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 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)
And if your foot offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 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)
And if your eye offend you, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: (Geenna g1067)
48 Where, their worm, dieth not, and, the fire, is not quenched,
Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For, everyone, with fire, shall be salted.
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is, good: but, if, salt, become, saltless, wherewith will ye, prepare, it? Have, within yourselves, salt, and be at peace, one with another.
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltiness, wherewith will all of you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
