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 to them, Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God come in 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 after six days Jesus takes with [him] Peter and James and John, and takes them up on a high mountain by themselves apart. And he was transfigured before them:
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
and his garments became shining, exceeding white [as snow], such as fuller on earth could not whiten [them].
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
And there appeared to them Elias with Moses, and they were talking 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."
And Peter answering says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good that we should be here; and let us make three tabernacles, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elias one.
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 filled with fear.
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, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
And suddenly having looked around, they no longer saw any one, but Jesus alone with themselves.
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 descended from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate to no one what they had seen, unless when the Son of man should be risen from among [the] dead.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.
And they kept that saying, questioning among themselves, what rising from among [the] dead was.
11 They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
And they asked him saying, Why do the scribes say that Elias must first have come?
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?
And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, and be set at nought:
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 also is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, 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 the disciples he saw a great crowd around them, and scribes disputing against them.
15 Immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
And immediately all the crowd seeing him were amazed, and running to [him], saluted him.
16 He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
And he asked them, What do ye question with them about?
17 And one out of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
And one out of the crowd answered him, Teacher, I brought to thee my son, who has 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 wheresoever it seizes him it tears him, and he foams and gnashes his teeth, and he is withering away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they might cast him out, and they could not.
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."
But he answering them says, O unbelieving 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 to him. And seeing him the spirit immediately tore him; and falling upon the earth he rolled foaming.
21 He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.
And he asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;
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 has cast him both into fire and into waters that it might destroy him: but if thou couldst [do] anything, be moved with pity on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
And Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is [if thou couldst] believe: all things are possible to him that believes.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe. Help my unbelief."
And immediately the father of the young child crying out said [with tears], I believe, help mine 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."
But Jesus, seeing that [the] crowd was running up together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
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 having cried out and torn [him] much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.
But Jesus, having taken hold of him by the hand, lifted 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 entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Wherefore could not we cast him 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 go out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.
30 They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it.
And going forth from thence they went through Galilee; and he would not that any one knew 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 to them, The Son of man is delivered into men's hands, and they shall kill him; and having been killed, after three days he shall rise again.
32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
But they understood not the saying, and feared 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 being in the house, he asked them, Of what were ye reasoning by the way?
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
And they remained silent, for by the way they had been reasoning with one another who [was] 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 sitting down he called the twelve; and he says to them, If any one would be first, he shall be last of all, and minister 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 child he set it in their midst, and having taken it 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."
Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, does not receive me, but him who 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."
And John answered him saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, who does not follow us, and we forbad him, because he does 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.
But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able soon [after] to speak ill of me;
40 For whoever is not against us is for us.
for he who 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 Christ, truly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in [my] name, because ye are Christ's, 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 be a snare to one of the little ones who believe [in me], it were better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he 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 serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go away into hell, into the fire unquenchable; (Geenna g1067)
[where their worm dies 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 serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire unquenchable; (Geenna g1067)
[where their worm dies 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 serve as a snare to thee, cast it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire, (Geenna g1067)
48 'where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'
where their worm dies 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 sacrifice shall be salted 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 is become saltless, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
