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, “Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come with 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,
After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. There 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].
His garments became radiant and extremely white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth could whiten them.
4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
Then Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking 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”:
So Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for yoʋ, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
(For they were terrified, and he did not know what to say.)
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”;
Then a cloud came and overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my beloved Son; listen to him!”
8 and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one anymore, but Jesus only with themselves.
And suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus.
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;
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
So they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this “rising from the dead” could mean.
11 And they were questioning Him, saying that the scribes say that Elijah must come first.
Then they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come 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?
He answered them, “Elijah does indeed come first to restore all things. How then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
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 tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”
14 And having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning with them,
When Jesus came back to the other disciples, he saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.
15 and immediately, all the multitude having seen Him, were amazed, and running near, were greeting Him.
When the whole crowd saw him, they were greatly amazed and immediately ran up and greeted him.
16 And He questioned the scribes, “What do you dispute with them?”
Then he asked the scribes, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 And one out of the multitude answering said, “Teacher, I brought my son to You, having a mute spirit;
One man from among the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought yoʋ my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.
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.”
Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked yoʋr disciples to cast it out, but they were not able to do so.”
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”;
Jesus answered him, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with 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.
So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions, and he fell on the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 And He questioned his father, “How much time is it since this came to him?” And he said, “From childhood,
Then Jesus asked the boy's father, “How long has this been happening to him?” The father said, “From childhood.
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.”
It often throws him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if yoʋ are able to do anything, help us and have compassion on us.”
23 And Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe! All things are possible to the one that is believing”;
Jesus said to him, “The question is whether yoʋ are able to believe. All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 and immediately the father of the child, having cried out with tears, said, “I believe, Lord; be helping my unbelief.”
Immediately the child's father cried out and said with tears, “I 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”;
When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit and said to it, “Yoʋ spirit that makes this boy mute and deaf, I command yoʋ, come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 and having cried, and convulsed him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
After crying out, the spirit convulsed the boy greatly and came out, and the boy became as though he were dead, so that many said, “He is dead!”
27 but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up, and the boy 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?”
Now when Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 And He said to them, “This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.”
He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by anything except prayer and fasting.”
30 And having gone forth there, they were passing through Galilee, and He did not wish that any may know,
Then they went away from there and passed through Galilee, but Jesus did not want anyone to know 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,”
For he was teaching his disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him. Yet after he has been killed, he will rise on the third day.”
32 but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question Him.
But they did not understand what this meant, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
33 And He came to Capernaum, and being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?”
Then Jesus came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house, he asked the disciples, “What were you discussing among yourselves on the way?”
34 And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater;
But they were silent, because on the way they had been arguing with one another about who 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.”
So Jesus sat down, called the twelve over, and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and a servant to 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,
Then he took a child and placed him before them. And taking the child in his arms, 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 child such as this 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 said to him in response, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in yoʋr name, and we told him to stop because he does not follow us.”
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 stop him, for no one who does a miracle in my name will be able to speak evil of me soon afterward.
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;
Truly I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, will certainly 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.
“If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung 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)
If yoʋr hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off. It is better for yoʋ to enter life crippled than to have two hands and 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 quenched.’
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)
And if yoʋr foot causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off. It is better for yoʋ to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell, into the 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 quenched.’
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)
And if yoʋr eye causes yoʋ to stumble, tear it out. It is better for yoʋ to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fires of hell, (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 quenched.’
49 for everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned 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 it becomes unsalty, with what shall you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
