Mark 9
1 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
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.”
2 And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, and leads them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
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.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve.
4 And there appeared to them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
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.”
6 For he knew not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
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.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean.
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And they questioned him, saying: “Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?”
12 And he answered and told them, Elias truly comes first, and restores all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nothing.
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.
13 But I say to you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they listed, as it is written of him.
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.”
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.
16 And he asked the scribes, What question you with them?
And he questioned them, “What are you arguing about among yourselves?”
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought to you my son, which has a dumb spirit;
And one from the crowd responded by saying: “Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit.
18 And wherever he takes him, he tears him: and he foams, and gnashes with his teeth, and pines away: and I spoke to your disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
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.”
19 He answers him, and says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him to me.
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.”
20 And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
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.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came to him? And he said, Of a child.
And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy.
22 And often it has cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you can do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
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.”
23 Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.
But Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes.”
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help you my unbelief.
And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.”
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying to him, You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
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.”
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; so that many said, He is dead.
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.”
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
29 And he said to them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
And he said to them, “This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting.”
30 And they departed there, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.
31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
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.”
32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
But they did not understand the word. And they were afraid to question him.
33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that you disputed among yourselves by the way?
And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, “What did you discuss on the way?”
34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.
35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and says to them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
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.”
36 And he took a child, and set him in the middle of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them,
And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:
37 Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me: and whoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him that sent me.
“Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me.”
38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name, and he follows not us: and we forbade him, because he follows not us.
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.”
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
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.
40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
For whoever is not against you is for you.
41 For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
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.
42 And whoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
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.
43 And if your hand offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
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)
44 Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
45 And if your foot offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
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)
46 Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 And if your eye offend you, 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 hell fire: (Geenna g1067)
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)
48 Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltiness, with which will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
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.”
