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."
AND he said unto them, I tell you of a certainty, that there are some standing here who shall not taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God come with power.
2 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.
And six days after Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, only, and carrieth them up with him into an exceeding high mountain in great privacy; and was transfigured before them.
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
His garments became glistering, exceeding white, like snow; such as no fuller upon earth can whiten.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
And there appeared to him Elias with Moses: and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 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."
Then Peter addressing him, said unto him, Master, it is desirable for us to be here: and let us erect three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he did not know what to answer, for they became very afraid.
For he knew not what he should say: for they were very much affrighted.
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
And instantly looking round, they saw no man any longer with them, but Jesus only.
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.
And as they were coming down from the mountain, he strictly charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should have arisen from the dead.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.
And they caught at that word, considering among themselves what this rising from the dead could mean.
11 They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes, that Elias must come first?
12 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?
Then he answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things; and how speaks the scripture of the Son of man? That he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt.
13 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."
But I say unto you, that Elias is come, and they have done to him whatsoever they chose, as it is written of him.
14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes questioning them.
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great crowd around them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 Immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
And immediately all the multitude, when they beheld him, were struck with amazement, and coming to him, saluted him.
16 He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
And he asked the scribes, What are ye disputing about among yourselves?
17 And one out of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit;
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."
and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and 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."
Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him 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.
And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

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."
And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us.
23 Jesus said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
Then said Jesus unto him, This is the point: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe. Help my unbelief."
And immediately the father of the child said with tears, I believe, Lord! help my unbelief!
25 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."
Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more.
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."
And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose.
28 And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"
And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?
29 And he said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer and fasting."
And he said to them, this kind can be driven out by nothing but prayer and fasting.
30 They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it.
And going from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not have any person know it.
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."
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him: and after being killed, the third day he shall rise again.
32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
But they understood not the meaning of that declaration, and were afraid to ask him.
33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing on the way?"
And he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was the subject of your dispute among yourselves on the road?
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
But they held their peace. For they had been disputing with each other on the road, which 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."
And when he was seated, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desires to be the first, let him be last of all, and 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,
And taking a little boy, he set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto 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."
Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me merely, but him that sent me.
38 John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he was not following us."
Then John addressed him, saying, Master, we saw a person in thy name casting out devils, who followeth us not: and we forbad him, because he did not follow us.
39 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.
Then said Jesus, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall perform a miracle in my name, who will be able presently after to speak evil of me.
40 For whoever is not against us is for us.
For he that 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 Messiah, truly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
For whosoever shall give you even a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to the Messiah, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise 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.
And whosoever shall give occasion of offence to one of these little ones who believe in me, it were desirable for him rather that a milestone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast 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 hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it were better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having both hands to go into hell, into the fire that never will be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life halting, than having both feet to be cast into hell, into the fire which never can be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
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 hell, (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell: (Geenna g1067)
48 'where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'
where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be sprinkled with salt.
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 become insipid, with what will you season it? have salt in yourselves, and live in peace with each other.
