Mark 9
1 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”
And he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'
2 After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.
And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,
3 His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.
and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten [them].
4 And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
And Peter answering saith to Jesus, 'Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:'
6 For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.
for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
7 Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from 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, saying, 'This is My Son — the Beloved, hear ye him;'
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.
and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;
10 So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.
and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
11 And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.
12 He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?
And he answering said to them, 'Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?
13 But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”
But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.'
14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them,
15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.
and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.
16 “What are you disputing with them?” He asked.
And he questioned the scribes, 'What dispute ye with them?'
17 Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.
and one out of the multitude answering said, 'Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'
19 “O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”
And he answering him, said, 'O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'
20 So they brought him, and seeing Jesus, the spirit immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing — foaming.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.
And he questioned his father, 'How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, 'From childhood,
22 “It often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'
23 “If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”
And Jesus said to him, 'If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'
24 Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”
and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, 'I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.'
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”
Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, 'Spirit — dumb and deaf — I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;'
26 After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”
and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
28 After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself — 'Why were we not able to cast it forth?'
29 Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”
And he said to them, 'This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.'
30 Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,
And having gone forth thence, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know,
31 because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”
for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, 'The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,'
32 But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.
33 Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, 'What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?'
34 But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.
and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;
35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”
and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, 'If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.'
36 Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,
And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in his arms, said to them,
37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”
'Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me, but Him who sent me.'
38 John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
And John did answer him, saying, 'Teacher, we saw a certain one in thy name casting out demons, who doth not follow us, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow us.'
39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.
And Jesus said, 'Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:
40 For whoever is not against us is for us.
for he who is not against us is for us;
41 Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.
for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward;
42 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.
and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.
43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. (Geenna g1067)
'And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable — (Geenna g1067)
where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.
45 If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
'And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable — (Geenna g1067)
where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.
47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire — (Geenna g1067)
48 where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’
where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;
49 For everyone will be salted with fire.
for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.'
