Mark 9
1 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."
Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”
2 After six days Yeshua took with him Kipha, Yaquv, and Yukhanan, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.
4 Eliya and Mushe appeared to them, and they were talking with Yeshua.
And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.
5 Kipha said to Yeshua, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Mushe, and one for Eliya."
Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 For he did not know what to answer, for they became very afraid.
For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Yeshua alone.
Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.
9 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.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.
So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.
11 They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Eliya must come first?"
And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 And he said to them, "Eliya 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?
He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?
13 But I tell you that Eliya has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."
But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”
14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes questioning them.
When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
15 Immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.
16 He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
“What are you disputing with them?” He asked.
17 And one out of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.
18 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."
Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
19 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."
“O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”
20 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.
So they brought him, and seeing Jesus, the spirit immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.
Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.
22 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."
“It often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 Yeshua said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe. Help my unbelief."
Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”
25 When Yeshua 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."
When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”
26 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."
After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 But Yeshua took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.
But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
28 And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"
After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29 And he said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer and fasting."
Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”
30 They went out from there, and passed through Galila. He did not want anyone to know it.
Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,
31 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."
because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”
32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
33 He came to Kepharnakhum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing on the way?"
Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.
35 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."
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”
36 He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,
37 "Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me."
“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”
38 Yukhanan said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he was not following us."
John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
39 But Yeshua 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.
“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.
40 For whoever is not against us is for us.
For whoever is not against us is for us.
41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to the Meshikha, truly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.
42 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.
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.
43 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 Gihana, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. (Geenna g1067)
45 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 Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
47 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 Gihana, (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 'where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'
where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
For everyone will be salted with fire.
50 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."
Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
