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.”
And He said to them, Truly I say unto you, that there are certain ones of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the kingdom of God, having come with power.
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.
After six days Jesus takes Peter, and John, and James, and carries them up into an exceedingly high mountain privately alone; and was transfigured before them:
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
and His raiment became resplendent, exceedingly white like snow; as no fuller on earth is able to whiten.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
And Elijah was seen by them with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
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.”
And Peter responding says 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:
6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
for he did not know what he might say; for they were afraid.
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear ye Him.
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
And immediately looking around, they saw no one, but Jesus only with them.
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.
And they coming down from the mountain, He charged them, that they should relate to no one the things which they saw, until the Son of man may rise from the dead.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
And they held the word to themselves, inquiring, what it is to rise from the dead.
11 They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
And they asked Him, saying, that the scribes say, that it behooves Elijah first to come.
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?
He responding said to them, Elijah indeed having first come, restores all things: and how has it been written in reference to the Son of man, that he should suffer many things, and be set at naught?
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.”
But I say unto you, that Elijah indeed has come, and they did unto him so many things as they wished, as has been written in reference to him.
14 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
And having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them and the scribes disputing with them!
15 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
And immediately the whole multitude, seeing Him, became excited, and running to Him, seized Him; and He asked the scribes,
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
Why are you disputing with them?
17 One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
And one responding from the multitude, said, Teacher, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
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.”
And when he may take him, he lacerates him: and he froths, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away. And I said to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were not able.
19 He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
And He responding to them, says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.
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.
And they brought him to Him; and seeing Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him; and falling on the ground, he continued to wallow, foaming.
21 He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
And He asked his father, How long is it since this occurred to him? And he said, from childhood:
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.”
and frequently he cast him into the fire and into the waters, in order that he may destroy him: but if you are able to do anything, assist us, being moved with compassion towards us.
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
And Jesus said to him, It is this, if you are able (to believe); all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
And immediately the father of the child crying out with tears, continued to say, I believe; assist thou my unbelief.
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!”
And Jesus seeing that the multitude are running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out from him, and enter no more into him.
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.”
And crying out, and convulsing he came out. And he became like a corpse; so that many said, that, he is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
And Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he stood up.
28 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
And His disciples asked I Iim privately, having come into the house, Why were we not able to cast him out?
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
And He said unto them, This kind is able to come out by nothing, but by prayer.
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
And they coming out thence, traveled through Galilee; and He was not willing that any one should know it.
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.”
For He was teaching His disciples, and saying to them, The Son of man is betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and having been killed, He will rise again the third day.
32 But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
And they did not understand the word, and they were afraid to ask Him.
33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
And He came into Capernaum. And He being in the house asked them, What were you disputing about to one another in the way?
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
And they were silent: for they were disputing to one another in the way, who was the greater.
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.”
And sitting down, He called the twelve; and says to them, If any one wishes to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
And taking a little child, He placed it in their midst; and taking it up in His arms, He said to them,
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.”
Whosoever may receive one of such little children in my name, receives me: and whosoever may receive me, receives not me, but Him that sent me.
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.”
And John responded to Him saying, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name, who does not follow us; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.
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.
And Jesus said, Forbid him not. For there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 For whoever is not against us is on our side.
For whosoever is not against us, is on our side.
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.
For whosoever may give you a cup of water in my name, because you are Christ's, truly I say unto you, can not lose his reward.
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.
Whosoever may offend one of these little ones who believe in me, rather is it good for him, if a millstone is hung about his neck, and he may be 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, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand may offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to go into life maimed, rather than having two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that can not be quenched. (Geenna g1067)
44 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
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)
If thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to go into life lame, rather than have two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
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)
If thine eye may offend thee, cast it from thee: it is good for thee entering into the kingdom of God having one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; (Geenna g1067)
48 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
For every one shall be salted with fire.
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.”
Salt is good: but if the salt may become savorless, with what will you salt it? Have salt in yourselves, and live in peace with one another.
