Mark 9
1 And he said to them, Verily I say to you, That there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
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.”
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up upon an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
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.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can make them white.
His garments became radiantly brilliant, extremely white, whiter than any bleacher on earth could bleach them.
4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
Then Elijah with Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
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.”
6 For he knew not what to say; for they were greatly afraid.
(For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.)
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
A cloud came and overshadowed them. Then a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 And suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no man any more, except Jesus only with themselves.
Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them, but only Jesus.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
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.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
So they kept the matter to themselves, but they discussed among themselves what “rising from the dead” could mean.
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
They asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 And he answered and told them, Elijah verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written concerning the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt.
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?
13 But I say to you, That Elijah is indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, as it is written concerning him.
But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they wanted to him, just as scripture says about him.”
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes were arguing with them.
15 And immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
As soon as they saw Jesus, the whole crowd was amazed and as they ran up to him they greeted him.
16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
He asked his disciples, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit;
Someone in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
18 And wherever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
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.”
19 He answered him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.
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.”
20 And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
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.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it since this came to him? And he said, From a child.
Jesus asked his father, “How long has he been like this?” The father said, “Since childhood.
22 And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
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.”
23 Jesus said to him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Jesus said to him, “'If you are able'? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief.
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
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.”
26 And the spirit cried, and tore him violently, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; so that many said, He is dead.
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.”
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and the boy stood up.
28 And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
When Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 And he said to them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
He said to them, “This kind cannot be cast out except by prayer.”
30 And they departed from there, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know where they were,
31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
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.”
32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
Then they came to Capernaum. After he entered the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
But they were silent. For they had been arguing with one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desireth to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
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.”
36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them,
He took a little child and placed him in their midst. He took him in his arms and said to them,
37 Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
“Whoever receives such a child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me but the one who sent me.”
38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we stopped him, because he does not follow us.”
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
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.
40 For he that is not against us is for us.
Whoever is not against us is for us.
41 For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
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.
42 And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to stumble it is better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
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.
43 And if thy hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
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)
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter lame into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
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)
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thy eye causeth thee to stumble, 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 fire: (Geenna g1067)
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)
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
For everyone will be salted with fire.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its saltness, how will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
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.”
