Mark 9
1 He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of you who are standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.”
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.
2 Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John with him up a high mountain, alone by themselves. Then he was transfigured before them.
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;
3 His garments became radiantly brilliant, extremely white, whiter than any bleacher on earth could bleach them.
and his garments became brilliant, exceeding white, such as, no fuller on the earth, is able, so, to whiten.
4 Then Elijah with Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
And there appeared unto them Elijah, with Moses, —and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here, and so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
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;
6 (For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.)
for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become.
7 A cloud came and overshadowed them. Then 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 Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him.
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them, but only Jesus.
And, suddenly looking round, no longer, saw they, anyone, with them, save, Jesus only.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, he commanded them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
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.
10 So they kept the matter to themselves, but they discussed among themselves what “rising from the dead” could mean.
And, the word, they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was, the rising from among the dead.
11 They asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
And they began to question him, saying—The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?
12 He said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be despised?
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?
13 But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they wanted to him, just as scripture says about him.”
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.
14 When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes were arguing with them.
And, coming unto the disciples, they saw a large multitude around them, and Scribes discussing with them.
15 As soon as they saw Jesus, the whole crowd was amazed and as they ran up to him they greeted him.
And, straightway, all the multitude, seeing him, were greatly amazed, and, running near, began saluting him.
16 He asked his disciples, “What are you arguing with them about?”
And he questioned them—What are ye discussing with them?
17 Someone in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
And one out of the multitude answered him—Teacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
18 It seizes him and it throws him down and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and he becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out of him, but they could not.”
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.
19 He answered them, “Unbelieving generation, how long will I have to stay with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
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!
20 They brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw him into a convulsion. The boy fell on the ground and foamed at the mouth.
And they brought him unto him. And, seeing him, the spirit, straightway tare him, —and, falling upon the ground, he wallowed, foaming.
21 Jesus asked his father, “How long has he been like this?” The father said, “Since childhood.
And he questioned his father—How long a time, is it, that, this, hath befallen him? and he said—From childhood;
22 It has often thrown him into the fire or into the waters and tried to destroy him. If you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us.”
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.
23 Jesus said to him, “'If you are able'? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
And, Jesus, said unto him—As for this, If it be possible to thee, all things, are possible, to him who hath faith.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
Straightway crying out, the father of the child was saying—I have faith! help my, want, of faith.
25 When Jesus saw the crowd running to them, he rebuked the unclean spirit and said, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter into him again.”
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.
26 It cried out and convulsed the boy greatly and then came out. The boy looked like one who was dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”
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!
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and the boy stood up.
But, Jesus, grasping his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 When Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
And, when he had gone into a house, his disciples, privately, were questioning him—Why, were, we, not able to cast it out?
29 He said to them, “This kind cannot be cast out except by prayer.”
And he said unto them—This kind, by nothing, can come out, save, by prayer.
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know where they were,
And, from thence, going forth, they were journeying through Galilee, —and he was not wishing that any should get to know it;
31 for he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put him to death. When he has been put to death, after three days he will rise again.”
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.
32 But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
But they were not understanding the declaration, and feared, to question, him.
33 Then they came to Capernaum. After he entered the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
And they came into Capernaum. And, happening to be, in the house, he was questioning them—What, in the way, were ye discussing?
34 But they were silent. For they had been arguing with one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
And they were silent; for, with one another, they had discussed in the way, who should be greatest.
35 Sitting down, he called the twelve together and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
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.
36 He took a little child and placed him in their midst. He took him in his arms and said to them,
And, taking a child, he set it in the midst of them, —and, folding it in his arms, said unto them—
37 “Whoever receives such a child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me but the one who sent me.”
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.
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we stopped him, because he does not follow us.”
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.
39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and can soon afterwards say anything bad about me.
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;
40 Whoever is not against us is for us.
For, whosoever is not, against, us, is, for, us;
41 Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
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.
42 Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea.
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.
43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands and to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. (Geenna g1067)
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)
45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have your two feet and be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
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)
47 If your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell, (Geenna g1067)
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)
48 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
Where, their worm, dieth not, and, the fire, is not quenched,
49 For everyone will be salted with fire.
For, everyone, with fire, shall be salted.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Salt is, good: but, if, salt, become, saltless, wherewith will ye, prepare, it? Have, within yourselves, salt, and be at peace, one with another.
