Mark 9
1 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come 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 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves: and he was changed in form before 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 And his clothing became shining, very white, as no cleaner on earth would make it.
And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
4 And there came before them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents; 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 he was not certain what to say, for they were in great fear.
For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
7 And a cloud came over them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, give ear 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 suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any longer, but Jesus only with themselves.
And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.
9 And while they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to give word to any man of the things they had seen, till the Son of man had come back 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 And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the coming back from the dead might be.
And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
11 And they put a question to him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?
And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
12 And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?
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 But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say 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 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great mass of people about them, and scribes questioning them.
And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 And straight away all the people, when they saw him, were full of wonder, and running to him, gave him worship.
And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
16 And he said, What are you questioning them about?
And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
17 And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;
And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
18 And wherever it takes him, it puts him down violently, streaming at the lips and twisted with pain; and his strength goes from him; and I made a request to your disciples to send it out, and they were not able.
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 And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come 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 And they took him to him: and when he saw him, the spirit in him straight away became violent; and he went down on the earth, rolling about and streaming at the lips.
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 And Jesus questioning the father said, How long has he been like this? And he said, From a child.
And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
22 And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water, for his destruction; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us, and give us help.
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 And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.
And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 Straight away the father of the child gave a cry, saying, I have faith; make my feeble faith stronger.
And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
25 And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him.
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 And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is 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, lifting him up; and he got up.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
28 And when he had gone into the house, his disciples said to him privately, Why were we unable to send it out?
And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
29 And he said to them, Nothing will make this sort come out but prayer.
And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30 And they went out from there, through Galilee; and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it;
And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
31 For he was giving his disciples teaching, and saying to them, The Son of man is given up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he is dead, after three days he will come back from the dead.
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 the saying was not clear to them, and they were in fear of questioning him about it.
But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he put the question to them, What were you talking about on the way?
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 said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.
But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
35 And seating himself, he made the twelve come to him; and he said to them, If any man has the desire to be first, he will 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 And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them; and taking him in his arms, he 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 will give honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour not to me, but to him 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 John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of 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, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say 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 He who is not against us is for us.
For he that is not against you, is for you.
41 Whoever gives you a cup of water, because you are Christ's, truly I say to you, he will in no way be without 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 And whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped 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 And if your hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off; it is better for you to go into life with one hand than to have two hands and go into hell, into the eternal 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)
Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
45 And if your foot is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off: it is better for you to go into life with one foot than to have two feet and go into hell. (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)
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out: it is better for you to go into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into hell, (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 their worm is ever living and the fire is not put out.
Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
49 Everyone will be salted with fire.
For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good; but if the taste goes from it, how will you make it salt again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.
Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
