Mark 9
1 And he said to them: Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who will not taste of death, until they shall see the kingdom of God to be coming with power.
And he said to them, Truly do I say to you, There are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen that the kingdom of God hath come with power.
2 And after six days, Jesus took Cephas and James and John, and led them to a high mountain, apart; and was transformed before them.
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.
3 And his raiment shone and was very white, like snow, so as men on earth can never whiten.
And his garments became glistening, very white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten.
4 And there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, in conversation with Jesus.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Cephas said to him: Rabbi, it is delightful for us to be here. And let us make three booths; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
And Peter answering saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 But he did not know what he said, for they were in trepidation.
For he knew not what to answer; for they were struck with terror.
7 And there was a cloud, and it overshadowed them. And a voice issued from the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son. Hear ye him.
And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.
8 And suddenly, when the disciples looked up, they saw no one with them, except Jesus only.
And suddenly looking round, they no longer saw any one but Jesus alone with themselves.
9 And as they descended the mountain, he commanded them to tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should be risen from the dead.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them to give no account of what they had seen to any one, till the Son of man should have risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying in their mind; and inquired, What doth this saying mean: " When he shall be risen from the dead!"
And they kept these words in mind, questioning one another what rising from the dead might mean.
11 And they asked him, and said: Why then do the Scribes say, that Elijah must first come?
And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?
12 He said to them: Elijah truly first cometh, to prepare all things: and, as it is written of the Son of man, he will suffer much, and be rejected.
And he said to them, Elijah cometh first, and restoreth all things. And how hath it been written of the Son of man? that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 But I say to you: That Elijah hath come; and they have done to him all that they desired, as it was written of him.
But I say to you that Elijah hath come, and they have done to him whatever they would; as it hath been written concerning him.
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude with them, and the Scribes disputing with them.
And coming to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes debating with them.
15 And immediately the multitude saw him, and were surprised: and they ran and saluted him.
And immediately the whole multitude on seeing him was struck with awe, and running to him, saluted him.
16 And he asked the Scribes: What were ye disputing with them?
And he asked them, About what are ye debating with them?
17 And one of the multitude replied, and said: Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a spirit that will not speak.
And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit.
18 And wherever he seizeth him, he shaketh and teareth him: and he gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples, to cast him out; and they could not.
And wherever it seizeth hold of him, it throweth him down; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth; and he pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.
19 Jesus answered, and said to them: O incredulous generation! How long shall I be with you? how long bear with you? Bring him to me.
He answereth and saith to them, O unbelieving 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 when the spirit saw him, immediately he shook him; and he fell upon the ground, and wallowed and foamed.
And they brought him to him. And as soon as he saw him, the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.
21 And Jesus asked his father, how long a time he had been thus. He said to him: Lo, from his childhood.
And he asked his father, How long hath it been thus with him? And he said, From a child;
22 And many times it hath thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But, if thou canst do any thing, aid me and have compassion on me.
and it hath often cast him both into fire, and into water, to destroy him; but if thou art able to do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said to him: If thou canst believe; every thing can be, to him that believeth.
Jesus said to him, If thou art able? All things are possible for him that believeth.
24 And immediately the father of the child cried out, while he wept and said: I believe; aid thou the defect of my faith.
The father of the child immediately cried out and said, I believe; help thou my unbelief.
25 And when Jesus saw that the people were, running and collecting around him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him: Thou deaf and unspeaking spirit, I command thee, come out of him; and no more enter him.
And Jesus seeing that the multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the demon cried out greatly, and bruised him, and came out. And he was as a dead person; so that many would say, he is dead.
And uttering a cry, and convulsing him much, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that very many said, He is dead.
27 And Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up.
But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 And when Jesus entered the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could not we cast him out?
And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?
29 He saith to them: This kind can come out, by nothing but fasting and prayer.
And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer.
30 And when he departed from there, they passed through Galilee: and he desired that no one might know him.
And departing thence, they passed through Galilee; and he would not that any one should know it.
31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them: The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day, he will rise.
For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he hath been put to death, after three days he will rise again.
32 But they did not understand that speech; and they were afraid to ask him.
But they understood not what he said, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And they came to Capernaum. And when they entered the house, he asked them: What disputed ye among yourselves by the way?
And they came to Capernaum; and having come into the house, he asked them, About what were ye disputing on the road?
34 And they were silent; for by the way they had contended with one another, which should be the great among them.
But they were silent; for on the road they had been disputing with one another, who was greatest.
35 And Jesus sat down, and called the twelve, and said to them: Whoever would be first, let him be last of all, and servitor to all.
And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any one desire to be first, he will be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst, and took him in his arms and said to them:
And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 Whoever receiveth one in my name, like this child, he receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth not me only, but him that sent me.
Whoever receiveth one of these children in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 John said to him: Rabbi, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he adhereth not to us.
John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did not follow us.
39 Jesus said to them: Forbid him not; for there is no one who doeth mighty works in my name, that can readily speak evil of me.
But Jesus said, Forbid him not. For no one, who shall do a miracle in my name, can readily speak evil of me.
40 Whoever therefore is not against you, is for you.
For he that is not against us is for us.
41 For whoever shall give you to drink a cup of water only, on the ground that ye are Messiah's followers, verily I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, truly do I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
42 And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to stumble, it were better for him, if a millstone were put to his neck, and he cast into the sea.
And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe to fall away, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand make thee offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than, having two hands, to go into hell; (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand cause thee to fall away, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable. (Geenna g1067)
44 where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not extinguished.
45 And if thy foot make thee offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lamed, than, having two feet, to fall into hell; (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot is causing thee to fall away, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not extinguished.
47 And if thy eye make thee offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter with one eye into the kingdom of God, than, having two eyes, to fall into the hell of fire; (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye is causing thee to fall away, 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 hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not extinguished.
where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every thing will be salted with fire; and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
For every one will be salted with fire.
50 Salt is a good thing: but if the salt become insipid, with what will it be salted? Let there be salt in you: and be ye in peace, one with another.
Salt is good; but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
