Mark 9
1 Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth: some standing here won't die before they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”

2 Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him, and led them up a high mountain to be by themselves. His appearance totally changed.

5 Peter spoke up and said, “Rabbi, it's great for us to be here! We should make three shelters—one each for you, Moses, and Elijah.”

7 Then a cloud covered them, and a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the one I love. Listen to him.”

9 As they came down the mountain Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone what they'd seen until the Son of man had risen from the dead.

10 They kept this to themselves, but they did argue with each other over what it meant to rise from the dead.

11 “Why do the religious teachers state that Elijah has to come first?” they asked him.

12 “It's true that Elijah comes first to prepare everything,” Jesus replied. “But why then does it say in Scripture that the Son of man has to suffer so much and be treated with contempt?

13 However, I tell you that Elijah has come, and they abused him in whatever way they wanted, just as Scripture said they would.”

14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw them surrounded by a large crowd and some religious teachers arguing with them.

20 So they brought him to Jesus. When the evil spirit saw Jesus it immediately sent the boy into convulsions and threw him on the ground, where he rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

26 The spirit screamed and threw the boy into severe convulsions. Then the spirit came out of the boy and left him for dead—to the extent that many of the people said, “He's dead.”

28 Later, when Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him in private, “Why couldn't we drive the evil spirit out?”
