Mark 9
1 He went on to say, "In solemn truth I tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God already come in power."
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲓϯⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲁⲥⲉⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ
2 Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and brought them alone, apart from the rest, up a high mountain; and in their presence His appearance underwent a change.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲙⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲛⲙⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲁϥϫⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϣⲃⲧϥ ϩⲓϩⲏ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
3 His garments also became dazzling with brilliant whiteness--such whiteness as no bleaching on earth could give.

4 Moreover there appeared to them Elijah accompanied by Moses; and the two were conversing with Jesus,
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲏⲗⲉⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ
5 when Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲃⲃⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϭⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲧⲁⲣⲛⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ϭⲉ ⲛϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲗⲉⲓⲁⲥ
6 For he knew not what to say: they were filled with such awe.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲁⲧϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲓⲧⲟⲩ
7 Then there came a cloud spreading over them, and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, dearly loved: listen to Him."
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲡⲱⲣϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲱϥ
8 Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.

9 As they were coming down from the mountain, He very strictly forbad them to tell any one what they had seen "until after the Son of Man has risen from among the dead."
ⲑ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϩⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩⲧⲁⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
10 So they kept the matter to themselves, although frequently asking one another what was meant by the rising from the dead.

11 They also asked Him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

12 "Elijah," He replied, "does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?

13 Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him."

14 As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.

15 Immediately the whole multitude on beholding Him were astonished and awe-struck, and yet they ran forward and greeted Him.

17 "Rabbi," answered one of the crowd, "I have brought you my son. He has a dumb spirit in him;

18 and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."

19 "O unbelieving generation!" replied Jesus; "how long must I be with you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy to me."

20 So they brought him to Jesus. And the spirit, when he saw Jesus, immediately threw the youth into convulsions, so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

21 Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?" "From early childhood," he said;

22 "and often it has thrown him into the fire or into pools of water to destroy him. But, if you possibly can, have pity on us and help us."

23 "'If I possibly can!'" replied Jesus; "why, everything is possible to him who believes."

24 Immediately the father cried out, "I do believe: strengthen my weak faith."

25 Then Jesus, seeing that an increasing crowd was running towards Him, rebuked the foul spirit, and said to it, "Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter into him again."
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲡⲏⲧ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲁϥⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲙⲡⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲗ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲅⲧⲙⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
26 So with a loud cry he threw the boy into fit after fit, and came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, so that most of them said he was dead;

28 After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, "How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"

30 Departing thence they passed through Galilee, and He was unwilling that any one should know it;

31 for He was teaching His disciples, and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and after being put to death, in three days He will rise to life again."

32 They, however, did not understand what He meant, and were afraid to question Him.
