Mark 9
1 And He said to them, Truly I say unto you, that there are certain ones of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the kingdom of God, having come with power.
He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power."
2 After six days Jesus takes Peter, and John, and James, and carries them up into an exceedingly high mountain privately alone; and was transfigured before them:
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3 and His raiment became resplendent, exceedingly white like snow; as no fuller on earth is able to whiten.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 And Elijah was seen by them with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter responding says to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah:
Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6 for he did not know what he might say; for they were afraid.
For he did not know what to answer, for they became very afraid.
7 And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear ye Him.
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
8 And immediately looking around, they saw no one, but Jesus only with them.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
9 And they coming down from the mountain, He charged them, that they should relate to no one the things which they saw, until the Son of man may rise from the dead.
As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 And they held the word to themselves, inquiring, what it is to rise from the dead.
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.
11 And they asked Him, saying, that the scribes say, that it behooves Elijah first to come.
They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
12 He responding said to them, Elijah indeed having first come, restores all things: and how has it been written in reference to the Son of man, that he should suffer many things, and be set at naught?
And he said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. And why is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be rejected?
13 But I say unto you, that Elijah indeed has come, and they did unto him so many things as they wished, as has been written in reference to him.
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."
14 And having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them and the scribes disputing with them!
And when they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 And immediately the whole multitude, seeing Him, became excited, and running to Him, seized Him; and He asked the scribes,
Immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
16 Why are you disputing with them?
He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
17 And one responding from the multitude, said, Teacher, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
And one out of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
18 And when he may take him, he lacerates him: and he froths, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away. And I said to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were not able.
and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren't able."
19 And He responding to them, says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.
And answering, he said to them, "You unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me."
20 And they brought him to Him; and seeing Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him; and falling on the ground, he continued to wallow, foaming.
They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
21 And He asked his father, How long is it since this occurred to him? And he said, from childhood:
He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.
22 and frequently he cast him into the fire and into the waters, in order that he may destroy him: but if you are able to do anything, assist us, being moved with compassion towards us.
And it has often cast him both into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us."
23 And Jesus said to him, It is this, if you are able (to believe); all things are possible to him that believeth.
Jesus said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
24 And immediately the father of the child crying out with tears, continued to say, I believe; assist thou my unbelief.
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe. Help my unbelief."
25 And Jesus seeing that the multitude are running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out from him, and enter no more into him.
When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."
26 And crying out, and convulsing he came out. And he became like a corpse; so that many said, that, he is dead.
Having screamed, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."
27 And Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he stood up.
But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.
28 And His disciples asked I Iim privately, having come into the house, Why were we not able to cast him out?
And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"
29 And He said unto them, This kind is able to come out by nothing, but by prayer.
And he said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer and fasting."
30 And they coming out thence, traveled through Galilee; and He was not willing that any one should know it.
They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it.
31 For He was teaching His disciples, and saying to them, The Son of man is betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and having been killed, He will rise again the third day.
For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise again."
32 And they did not understand the word, and they were afraid to ask Him.
But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And He came into Capernaum. And He being in the house asked them, What were you disputing about to one another in the way?
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing on the way?"
34 And they were silent: for they were disputing to one another in the way, who was the greater.
But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 And sitting down, He called the twelve; and says to them, If any one wishes to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.
And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all."
36 And taking a little child, He placed it in their midst; and taking it up in His arms, He said to them,
He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 Whosoever may receive one of such little children in my name, receives me: and whosoever may receive me, receives not me, but Him that sent me.
"Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me."
38 And John responded to Him saying, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name, who does not follow us; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.
John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he was not following us."
39 And Jesus said, Forbid him not. For there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 For whosoever is not against us, is on our side.
For whoever is not against us is for us.
41 For whosoever may give you a cup of water in my name, because you are Christ's, truly I say unto you, can not lose his reward.
For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to the Christ, truly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
42 Whosoever may offend one of these little ones who believe in me, rather is it good for him, if a millstone is hung about his neck, and he may be cast into the sea.
Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
43 And if thy hand may offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to go into life maimed, rather than having two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that can not be quenched. (Geenna g1067)
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
45 If thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to go into life lame, rather than have two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
47 If thine eye may offend thee, cast it from thee: it is good for thee entering into the kingdom of God having one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
'where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'
49 For every one shall be salted with fire.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt may become savorless, with what will you salt it? Have salt in yourselves, and live in peace with one another.
Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how can you make it salty? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
