Mark 9
1 And he said to them, “Amen I say to you, that there are some among those standing here who shall not taste death until they see the kingdom of God arriving in power.”
And he said to them, Truly do I say to you, There are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen that the kingdom of God hath come with power.
2 And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John; and he led them separately to a lofty mountain alone; and he was transfigured before them.
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.
3 And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve.
And his garments became glistening, very white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten.
4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And in response, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here. And so let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
And Peter answering saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.
For he knew not what to answer; for they were struck with terror.
7 And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.”
And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.
8 And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
And suddenly looking round, they no longer saw any one but Jesus alone with themselves.
9 And as they were descending from the mountain, he instructed them not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until after the Son of man will have risen again from the dead.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them to give no account of what they had seen to any one, till the Son of man should have risen from the dead.
10 And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean.
And they kept these words in mind, questioning one another what rising from the dead might mean.
11 And they questioned him, saying: “Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?”
And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?
12 And in response, he said to them: “Elijah, when he will arrive first, shall restore all things. And in the manner that it has been written about the Son of man, so must he suffer many things and be condemned.
And he said to them, Elijah cometh first, and restoreth all things. And how hath it been written of the Son of man? that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 But I say to you, that Elijah also has arrived, (and they have done to him whatever they wanted) just as it has been written about him.”
But I say to you that Elijah hath come, and they have done to him whatever they would; as it hath been written concerning him.
14 And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.
And coming to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes debating with them.
15 And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.
And immediately the whole multitude on seeing him was struck with awe, and running to him, saluted him.
16 And he questioned them, “What are you arguing about among yourselves?”
And he asked them, About what are ye debating with them?
17 And one from the crowd responded by saying: “Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit.
And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit.
18 And whenever it takes hold of him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes with his teeth, and he becomes unconscious. And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they could not.”
And wherever it seizeth hold of him, it throweth him down; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth; and he pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.
19 And answering them, he said: “O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to me.”
He answereth and saith to them, O unbelieving generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.
20 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit disturbed him. And having been thrown to the ground, he rolled around foaming.
And they brought him to him. And as soon as he saw him, the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.
21 And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy.
And he asked his father, How long hath it been thus with him? And he said, From a child;
22 And often it casts him into fire or into water, in order to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, help us and take pity on us.”
and it hath often cast him both into fire, and into water, to destroy him; but if thou art able to do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 But Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes.”
Jesus said to him, If thou art able? All things are possible for him that believeth.
24 And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.”
The father of the child immediately cried out and said, I believe; help thou my unbelief.
25 And when Jesus saw the crowd rushing together, he admonished the unclean spirit, saying to him, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you, leave him; and do not enter into him anymore.”
And Jesus seeing that the multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And crying out, and convulsing him greatly, he departed from him. And he became like one who is dead, so much so that many said, “He is dead.”
And uttering a cry, and convulsing him much, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that very many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.
But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?
29 And he said to them, “This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting.”
And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer.
30 And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.
And departing thence, they passed through Galilee; and he would not that any one should know it.
31 Then he taught his disciples, and he said to them, “For the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and having been killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he hath been put to death, after three days he will rise again.
32 But they did not understand the word. And they were afraid to question him.
But they understood not what he said, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, “What did you discuss on the way?”
And they came to Capernaum; and having come into the house, he asked them, About what were ye disputing on the road?
34 But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.
But they were silent; for on the road they had been disputing with one another, who was greatest.
35 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be the last of all and the minister of all.”
And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any one desire to be first, he will be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:
And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me.”
Whoever receiveth one of these children in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 John responded to him by saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; he does not follow us, and so we prohibited him.”
John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did not follow us.
39 But Jesus said: “Do not prohibit him. For there is no one who can act with virtue in my name and soon speak evil about me.
But Jesus said, Forbid him not. For no one, who shall do a miracle in my name, can readily speak evil of me.
40 For whoever is not against you is for you.
For he that is not against us is for us.
41 For whoever, in my name, will give you a cup of water to drink, because you belong to Christ: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, truly do I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
42 And whoever will have scandalized one of these little ones who believe in me: it would be better for him if a great millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe to fall away, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea.
43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life disabled, than having two hands to go into Hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand cause thee to fall away, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable. (Geenna g1067)
44 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
45 But if your foot causes you to sin, chop it off: it is better for you to enter into eternal life lame, than having two feet to be cast into the Hell of unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot is causing thee to fall away, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 But if your eye causes you to sin, 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 the Hell of fire, (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye is causing thee to fall away, pluck it out; it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.
For every one will be salted with fire.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt has become bland, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace among yourselves.”
Salt is good; but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
