Mark 9
1 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἰσίν τινες ὧδε τῶν ἑστηκότων οἵτινες οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου ἕως ἂν ἴδωσιν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐληλυθυῖαν ἐν δυνάμει.
2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
Καὶ μετὰ ἡμέρας ἓξ παραλαμβάνει ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τὸν Ἰάκωβον καὶ τὸν Ἰωάννην καὶ ἀναφέρει αὐτοὺς εἰς ὄρος ὑψηλὸν κατ᾽ ἰδίαν μόνους. καὶ μετεμορφώθη ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν,
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ (ἐγένετο *NK(o)*) στίλβοντα, λευκὰ λίαν (ὡς χιών, *K*) οἷα γναφεὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς οὐ δύναται (οὕτως *no*) λευκᾶναι.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
καὶ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς Ἠλίας σὺν Μωϋσεῖ, καὶ ἦσαν συλλαλοῦντες τῷ Ἰησοῦ.
5 Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Πέτρος λέγει τῷ Ἰησοῦ· ῥαββί, καλόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς ὧδε εἶναι, καὶ ποιήσωμεν τρεῖς σκηνάς, σοὶ μίαν καὶ Μωϋσεῖ μίαν καὶ Ἠλίᾳ μίαν·
6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
οὐ γὰρ ᾔδει τί (ἀποκριθῇ, *N(k)(o)*) ἔκφοβοι γὰρ (ἐγένοντο. *N(k)O*)
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
Καὶ ἐγένετο νεφέλη ἐπισκιάζουσα αὐτοῖς, καὶ (ἐγένετο *N(k)O*) φωνὴ ἐκ τῆς νεφέλης (λέγουσα· *k*) οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός· ἀκούετε αὐτοῦ.
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
καὶ ἐξάπινα περιβλεψάμενοι οὐκέτι οὐκέτι οὐδένα εἶδον (ἀλλὰ *NK(o)*) τὸν Ἰησοῦν μόνον μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
(Καὶ *no*) καταβαινόντων (δὲ *k*) αὐτῶν (ἐκ *N(k)O*) τοῦ ὄρους διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ ἃ εἶδον διηγήσωνται εἰ μὴ ὅταν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
καὶ τὸν λόγον ἐκράτησαν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς συζητοῦντες τί ἐστιν τὸ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι.
11 They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες· ὅτι λέγουσιν οἱ γραμματεῖς ὅτι Ἠλίαν δεῖ ἐλθεῖν πρῶτον;
12 He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
ὁ δὲ (ἀποκριθείς *k*) (ἔφη *N(k)O*) αὐτοῖς· Ἠλίας μὲν ἐλθὼν πρῶτον ἀποκαθιστάνει πάντα· καὶ πῶς γέγραπται ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἵνα πολλὰ πάθῃ καὶ ἐξουδενηθῇ.
13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
ἀλλὰ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι καὶ Ἠλίας ἐλήλυθεν, καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ ὅσα (ἤθελον *N(k)O*) καθὼς γέγραπται ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν.
14 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
Καὶ (ἐλθόντες *N(k)O*) πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς (εἶδον *N(K)O*) ὄχλον πολὺν περὶ αὐτοὺς καὶ γραμματεῖς συζητοῦντας (πρὸς *no*) (αὐτούς. *N(k)O*)
15 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
καὶ εὐθὺς πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος (ἰδόντες *N(k)O*) αὐτὸν (ἐξεθαμβήθησαν *N(k)O*) καὶ προστρέχοντες ἠσπάζοντο αὐτόν.
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν (αὐτούς *N(k)O*) (γραμματεῖς· *K*) τί συζητεῖτε πρὸς (αὐτούς; *NK(O)*)
17 One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
Καὶ (ἀπεκρίθη *N(k)O*) (αὐτῷ *no*) εἷς ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου (εἶπεν· *k*) διδάσκαλε, ἤνεγκα τὸν υἱόν μου πρὸς σὲ ἔχοντα πνεῦμα ἄλαλον.
18 and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
καὶ ὅπου (ἐὰν *N(k)O*) αὐτὸν καταλάβῃ, ῥήσσει αὐτόν· καὶ ἀφρίζει καὶ τρίζει τοὺς ὀδόντας (αὐτοῦ *k*) καὶ ξηραίνεται. καὶ εἶπα τοῖς μαθηταῖς σου ἵνα αὐτὸ ἐκβάλωσιν, καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν.
19 He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς (αὐτοῖς *N(K)O*) λέγει· ὦ γενεὰ ἄπιστος, ἕως πότε πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἔσομαι, ἕως πότε ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν; φέρετε αὐτὸν πρός με.
20 They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
καὶ ἤνεγκαν αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτόν. καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα εὐθὺς (συνεσπάραξεν *N(k)O*) αὐτόν, καὶ πεσὼν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐκυλίετο ἀφρίζων.
21 He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· πόσος χρόνος ἐστὶν ὡς τοῦτο γέγονεν αὐτῷ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· (ἐκ *no*) παιδιόθεν.
22 Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
καὶ πολλάκις καὶ εἰς (τὸ *o*) πῦρ αὐτὸν ἔβαλεν καὶ εἰς ὕδατα ἵνα ἀπολέσῃ αὐτόν· ἀλλ᾽ εἴ τι δύνῃ, βοήθησον ἡμῖν, σπλαγχνισθεὶς ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς.
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τὸ εἰ δύνῃ (πιστεῦσαι, *K*) πάντα δυνατὰ τῷ πιστεύοντι.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
(καὶ *ko*) εὐθὺς κράξας ὁ πατὴρ τοῦ παιδίου (μετὰ δακρύων *K*) ἔλεγεν· πιστεύω (κύριε· *K*) βοήθει μου τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ.
25 When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἐπισυντρέχει ὄχλος, ἐπετίμησεν τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ λέγων αὐτῷ· τὸ ἄλαλον καὶ κωφὸν (τὸ *k*) πνεῦμα, ἐγὼ ἐπιτάσσω σοι· ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ, καὶ μηκέτι εἰσέλθῃς εἰς αὐτόν.
26 After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
καὶ (κράξας *N(k)O*) καὶ πολλὰ (σπαράξας *N(k)O*) (αὐτόν *k*) ἐξῆλθεν, καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ νεκρὸς ὥστε (τοὺς *no*) πολλοὺς λέγειν ὅτι ἀπέθανεν.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς (αὐτοῦ *N(k)O*) ἤγειρεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀνέστη.
28 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
Καὶ (εἰσελθόντος αὐτοῦ *N(k)O*) εἰς οἶκον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ κατ᾽ ἰδίαν ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν· ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἠδυνήθημεν ἐκβαλεῖν αὐτό;
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο τὸ γένος ἐν οὐδενὶ δύναται ἐξελθεῖν εἰ μὴ ἐν προσευχῇ (καὶ νηστείᾳ. *KO*)
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
Κἀκεῖθεν Κἀκεῖθεν ἐξελθόντες (παρεπορεύοντο *NK(o)*) διὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν ἵνα τις γνοῖ·
31 for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
ἐδίδασκεν γὰρ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀποκτανθεὶς (μετὰ τρεῖς *N(k)O*) (ἡμέρας *NK(o)*) ἀναστήσεται.
32 But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
οἱ δὲ ἠγνόουν τὸ ῥῆμα καὶ ἐφοβοῦντο αὐτὸν ἐπερωτῆσαι.
33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
Καὶ (ἦλθον *N(K)O*) εἰς Καφαρναούμ· καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ γενόμενος ἐπηρώτα αὐτούς· τί ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ (πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς *K*) διελογίζεσθε;
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων· πρὸς ἀλλήλους γὰρ διελέχθησαν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τίς μείζων.
35 He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
Καὶ καθίσας ἐφώνησεν τοὺς δώδεκα καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· εἴ τις θέλει πρῶτος εἶναι, ἔσται πάντων ἔσχατος καὶ πάντων διάκονος.
36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
καὶ λαβὼν παιδίον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὸ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς·
37 “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”
ὃς (ἂν *N(k)O*) ἓν τῶν τοιούτων παιδίων δέξηται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται· καὶ ὃς (ἂν *N(k)O*) ἐμὲ (δέχηται, *N(k)O*) οὐκ ἐμὲ δέχεται ἀλλὰ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”
(Ἔφη *N(k)O*) (δὲ *k*) αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης· (λέγων *k*) διδάσκαλε, εἴδομέν τινα (ἐν *no*) τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐκβάλλοντα δαιμόνια (ὃς οὐκ ἀκολουθεῖ ἡμῖν *KO*) καὶ (ἐκωλύομεν *N(k)O*) αὐτὸν ὅτι οὐκ (ἠκολούθει *N(k)O*) ἡμῖν.
39 But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· μὴ κωλύετε αὐτόν· οὐδεὶς γάρ ἐστιν ὃς ποιήσει δύναμιν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου καὶ δυνήσεται ταχὺ κακολογῆσαί με.
40 For whoever is not against us is on our side.
ὃς γὰρ οὐκ ἔστιν καθ᾽ (ἡμῶν *N(K)O*) ὑπὲρ (ἡμῶν *N(K)O*) ἐστιν.
41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
ὃς γὰρ ἂν ποτίσῃ ὑμᾶς ποτήριον ὕδατος ἐν (τῷ *k*) ὀνόματι (μου *k*) ὅτι Χριστοῦ ἐστε, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν (ὅτι *no*) οὐ μὴ (ἀπολέσῃ *NK(o)*) τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ.
42 “Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
καὶ ὃς (ἂν *NK(o)*) σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων τῶν πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ, καλόν ἐστιν αὐτῷ μᾶλλον εἰ περίκειται (μύλος ὀνικὸς *N(k)O*) περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ βέβληται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν.
43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
καὶ ἐὰν (σκανδαλίζῃ *NK(o)*) σε ἡ χείρ σου, ἀπόκοψον αὐτήν· καλόν ἐστίν (σε *N(k)O*) κυλλὸν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν ἢ τὰς δύο χεῖρας ἔχοντα ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν γέενναν εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἄσβεστον. (Geenna g1067)
44 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
(ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται *KO*)
45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— (Geenna g1067)
καὶ ἐὰν ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἀπόκοψον αὐτόν· καλόν ἐστίν (σε *N(k)O*) εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν χωλὸν ἢ τοὺς δύο πόδας ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν γέενναν (εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἄσβεστον. *KO*) (Geenna g1067)
46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
(ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται. *KO*)
47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, (Geenna g1067)
καὶ ἐὰν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἔκβαλε αὐτόν· καλόν (σέ *N(k)O*) ἐστιν μονόφθαλμον εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν γέενναν (τοῦ πυρός *K*) (Geenna g1067)
48 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται.
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
πᾶς γὰρ πυρὶ ἁλισθήσεται (καὶ πᾶσα θυσία ἁλὶ ἁλισθήσεται. *KO*)
50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
καλὸν τὸ ἅλας· ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ἅλας ἄναλον γένηται, ἐν τίνι αὐτὸ ἀρτύσετε; ἔχετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς (ἅλα *N(k)O*) καὶ εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.
