Mark 9
1 And He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death until they see the Kingdom of God having come in 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 Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves, alone, 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 garments became glittering, exceedingly white, as snow, so as a launderer on the earth is not able to whiten [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 Elijah 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 answering says to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three shelters, for You one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one”:
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 was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.
7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, 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, having looked around, they saw no one anymore, but Jesus only with themselves.
And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
9 And as they are coming down from the mountain, He charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of 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 the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean.
11 And they were questioning Him, saying that the scribes say that Elijah must come first.
And they questioned him, saying: “Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?”
12 And He answering said to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things; and how has it been written concerning the Son of Man, that He may 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 also Elijah has come, and they did to him what they willed, as it has been 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 having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning with them,
And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.
15 and immediately, all the multitude having seen Him, were amazed, and running near, were greeting Him.
And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.
16 And He questioned the scribes, “What do you dispute with them?”
And he questioned them, “What are you arguing about among yourselves?”
17 And one out of the multitude answering said, “Teacher, I brought my son to You, having a mute 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 it seizes him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away; and I spoke to Your disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.”
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 And He answering him, said, “O generation unbelieving, until when will I be with you? Until when will 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 he having seen Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he, having fallen on the earth, was wallowing—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 questioned his father, “How much time is it since this came to him?” And he said, “From childhood,
And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy.
22 and many times it also cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if You are able to do anything, help us, having compassion on 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 And Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe! All things are possible to the one that is believing”;
But Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes.”
24 and immediately the father of the child, having cried out with tears, said, “I believe, Lord; be helping my unbelief.”
And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.”
25 Jesus having seen that a multitude runs together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Spirit—mute and deaf—I charge you, come forth out of him, and you may no longer enter 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 having cried, and convulsed him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was 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, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.
28 And He having come into the house, His disciples were questioning Him by Himself, “Why were we not able to cast it forth?”
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 is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.”
And he said to them, “This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting.”
30 And having gone forth there, they were passing through Galilee, and He did not wish that any may know,
And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.
31 for He was teaching His disciples, and He said to them, “The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him, and having been killed, the third day He will rise,”
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 were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question 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 was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?”
And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, “What did you discuss on the way?”
34 And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater;
But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.
35 and having sat down He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If any wills to be first, he will be last of all, and minister 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 having taken a child, He set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in His arms, 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 may receive one of such children in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, does not receive Me, but Him who 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, “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in Your Name, who does not follow us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow 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 And Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in My Name, and will be readily able to 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 who is not against us is for us;
For whoever is not against you is for you.
41 for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in My Name, because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you, he may 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 may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in Me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged around his neck, and he has been 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 may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands, to go away into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (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 is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
45 And if your foot may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (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 is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 And if your eye may cause you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God one-eyed, than having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of 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 is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
49 for everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.
50 The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will you season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one 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.”
