Mark 9
1 And he was saying to them: Verily, say unto you—There, are, certain of those here standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God, already come in power.
He added, Indeed, I say to you, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Reign of God ushered in with power.
2 And, after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart, alone, —and he was transformed before them;
After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, apart to the top of a high mountain, and was transfigured in their presence.
3 and his garments became brilliant, exceeding white, such as, no fuller on the earth, is able, so, to whiten.
His garments became glittering, and were like snow, of such whiteness as no fuller on the earth could imitate.
4 And there appeared unto them Elijah, with Moses, —and they were conversing with Jesus.
There appeared to them also Elijah and Moses, who were conversing with Jesus.
5 And Peter, answering, saith unto Jesus—Rabbi! it is, delightful, for us to be, here, —let us therefore make three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one;
Then Peter said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to stay here: let us make three booths, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;
6 for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become.
for he knew not what he said, they were so terrified.
7 And there came a cloud, overshadowing them, and there came a voice, out of the cloud, —This is, my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him.
And there came a cloud which covered them; and out of the cloud issued a voice, which said, This is my Son, the beloved: hear him.
8 And, suddenly looking round, no longer, saw they, anyone, with them, save, Jesus only.
And instantly, looking about, they saw no person but Jesus and themselves.
9 And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, he charged them, that, unto no one, they should narrate what they had seen, save whenever the Son of Man, from among the dead should arise.
As they went down from the mountain, he charged them not to relate to any person what they had seen, till the Son of Man was risen from the dead.
10 And, the word, they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was, the rising from among the dead.
And they took notice of that expression, and inquired among themselves what the rising from the dead could mean.
11 And they began to question him, saying—The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?
Then they asked him, saying, Why do the scribes affirm that Elijah must come first?
12 And, he, said unto them—Elijah, indeed, coming first, restoreth all things; and yet, how is it written, regarding the Son of Man, that, many things, he must suffer, and be set at nought?
He answered, Elijah, to consummate the whole, must come first; and, (as it is written of the Son of Man, ) must likewise suffer many things and be contemned.
13 But I say unto you—Elijah also, hath come, and they have done with him, whatsoever they pleased, —according as it is written regarding him.
But I tell you, that Elijah too is come, as was predicted, and they have treated him as they pleased.
14 And, coming unto the disciples, they saw a large multitude around them, and Scribes discussing with them.
When he returned to the other disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and some scribes disputing with them.
15 And, straightway, all the multitude, seeing him, were greatly amazed, and, running near, began saluting him.
As soon as the people saw him, they were all struck with awe, and ran to salute him.
16 And he questioned them—What are ye discussing with them?
And he asked the scribes, About what do you dispute with them?
17 And one out of the multitude answered him—Teacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
One of the people answering, said, Rabbi, I have brought you my son, who has a dumb spirit;
18 and, wheresoever it seizeth him, it teareth him, and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and weareth himself out; —and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast it out, and they could not.
and wheresoever it seizes him, it dashes him on the ground, where he continues foaming, and grinding his teeth, till his strength is exhausted. And I spoke to your disciples to expel the demon, but they were not able.
19 But, he, answering, saith—O faithless generation! how long, shall I be with you? how long, shall I bear with you? Bring him unto me!
Jesus then said, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me.
20 And they brought him unto him. And, seeing him, the spirit, straightway tare him, —and, falling upon the ground, he wallowed, foaming.
Accordingly they brought him: and no sooner did he see him, than the spirit threw him into convulsions, so that he foamed, and rolled upon the ground.
21 And he questioned his father—How long a time, is it, that, this, hath befallen him? and he said—From childhood;
Jesus asked the father, How long is it since this first befell him? He answered, From his infancy;
22 and, many times, hath it cast him, both into fire, and into waters, that it might destroy him; but, if anything be possible to thee, help us, have compassion upon us.
and often it has thrown him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have compassion upon us and help us.
23 And, Jesus, said unto him—As for this, If it be possible to thee, all things, are possible, to him who hath faith.
Jesus replied, If you can believe; all things are practicable for him who believes.
24 Straightway crying out, the father of the child was saying—I have faith! help my, want, of faith.
The boy's father, crying out immediately, said with tears, I believe; Master, supply the defects of my faith.
25 And Jesus, seeing that a multitude is running together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying unto it—Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I, give orders unto thee: Come forth out of him, and do not, any more, enter into him.
When Jesus saw that the people came crowding upon him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, come out of him, I command you, and enter no more into him.
26 And, crying out, and greatly mangling him, it came forth; and he became as if dead, so that, the more part, were saying—He is dead!
Then, having cried aloud and severely convulsed him, it came out, and he appeared as one dead, insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But, Jesus, grasping his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 And, when he had gone into a house, his disciples, privately, were questioning him—Why, were, we, not able to cast it out?
When Jesus was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we expel the demon?
29 And he said unto them—This kind, by nothing, can come out, save, by prayer.
He answered, This kind can not be dislodged unless by prayer and fasting.
30 And, from thence, going forth, they were journeying through Galilee, —and he was not wishing that any should get to know it;
Having left that place, they pass through Galilee; and he was desirous that no person should know it,
31 for he was teaching his disciples and saying [unto them], The Son of Man, is to be delivered up, into the hands of men, and they will slay him, —and, being slain, after three days, will he arise.
for he was instructing his disciples. And he said to them, The Son of Man will soon be delivered into the hands of men, who will kill him; and after he is killed, he will rise again the third day.
32 But they were not understanding the declaration, and feared, to question, him.
But they understood not what he meant, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And they came into Capernaum. And, happening to be, in the house, he was questioning them—What, in the way, were ye discussing?
When he was come to Capernaum, being in the house, he asked them, What were you debating amongst yourselves by the way?
34 And they were silent; for, with one another, they had discussed in the way, who should be greatest.
But they were silent; for they had debated amongst themselves by the way, who should be greatest.
35 And, taking a seat, he addressed the twelve, and saith unto them—If anyone willeth to be, first, he shall be, least of all, and, minister of all.
Then having sat down, he called the twelve, and said to them, If any man would be first, he shall be the last of all, and the servant of all.
36 And, taking a child, he set it in the midst of them, —and, folding it in his arms, said unto them—
And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and holding him in his arms, said to them,
37 Whosoever, unto, [one of] these children, shall give welcome, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, not, unto me, giveth welcome, but, unto him that sent me.
Whosoever shall receive one such child on my account, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him who sent me.
38 John said unto him—Teacher! we saw someone, in thy name, casting out demons, —and we forbade him, because he was not following with us.
Then John said to him, Rabbi, we saw one expelling demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.
39 But, Jesus, said—Do not forbid him! For, no one, is there, who shall do a work of power in my name, and have power, soon, to revile me;
Jesus answered, Forbid him not; for there is none that works a miracle in my name, that can readily speak evil of me.
40 For, whosoever is not, against, us, is, for, us;
For whosoever is not against you is for you.
41 For, whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water, in name that, Christ’s, ye are, Verily! I say unto you, in nowise, shall lose his reward.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink on my account, because you are Christ's; indeed, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones that believe, it is, seemly, for him, rather, if there is hung a large millstone about his neck, and he is cast into the sea.
But whoever shall ensnare any of the little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were fastened to his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.
43 And, if thy hand shall cause thee to stumble, cut it off, —it is, seemly, for thee, maimed, to enter into life, rather than having, the two hands, to depart into the gehenna, into the fire that is not quenched; (Geenna g1067)
Moreover, if your hand ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter maimed into life, than having two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
45 And, if thy foot be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, —it is, seemly, for thee, to enter into life, lame, rather than having, the two feet, to be cast into the gehenna; (Geenna g1067)
And if your foot ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter lame into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
47 And, if thine eye be causing thee to stumble, thrust it out, —it is, seemly, for thee, one-eye, to enter into the kingdom of God, rather than having, two eyes, to be cast into gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye ensnare you, pull it out; it is better for you to enter one-eyed into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire; (Geenna g1067)
48 Where, their worm, dieth not, and, the fire, is not quenched,
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
49 For, everyone, with fire, shall be salted.
For every one shall be seasoned with fire; as every sacrifice is seasoned with salt.
50 Salt is, good: but, if, salt, become, saltless, wherewith will ye, prepare, it? Have, within yourselves, salt, and be at peace, one with another.
Salt is good; but if the salt become tasteless, with what will you season it? Preserve salt in yourselves, and maintain peace with one another.
