Mark 9
1 And he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'
He added, Indeed, I say to you, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Reign of God ushered in with power.
2 And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,
After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, apart to the top of a high mountain, and was transfigured in their presence.
3 and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten [them].
His garments became glittering, and were like snow, of such whiteness as no fuller on the earth could imitate.
4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
There appeared to them also Elijah and Moses, who were conversing with Jesus.
5 And Peter answering saith to Jesus, 'Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:'
Then Peter said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to stay here: let us make three booths, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;
6 for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
for he knew not what he said, they were so terrified.
7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son — the Beloved, hear ye him;'
And there came a cloud which covered them; and out of the cloud issued a voice, which said, This is my Son, the beloved: hear him.
8 and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.
And instantly, looking about, they saw no person but Jesus and themselves.
9 And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;
As they went down from the mountain, he charged them not to relate to any person what they had seen, till the Son of Man was risen from the dead.
10 and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
And they took notice of that expression, and inquired among themselves what the rising from the dead could mean.
11 And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.
Then they asked him, saying, Why do the scribes affirm that Elijah must come first?
12 And he answering said to them, 'Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?
He answered, Elijah, to consummate the whole, must come first; and, (as it is written of the Son of Man, ) must likewise suffer many things and be contemned.
13 But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.'
But I tell you, that Elijah too is come, as was predicted, and they have treated him as they pleased.
14 And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them,
When he returned to the other disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and some scribes disputing with them.
15 and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.
As soon as the people saw him, they were all struck with awe, and ran to salute him.
16 And he questioned the scribes, 'What dispute ye with them?'
And he asked the scribes, About what do you dispute with them?
17 and one out of the multitude answering said, 'Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
One of the people answering, said, Rabbi, I have brought you my son, who has a dumb spirit;
18 and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'
and wheresoever it seizes him, it dashes him on the ground, where he continues foaming, and grinding his teeth, till his strength is exhausted. And I spoke to your disciples to expel the demon, but they were not able.
19 And he answering him, said, 'O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'
Jesus then said, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me.
20 and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing — foaming.
Accordingly they brought him: and no sooner did he see him, than the spirit threw him into convulsions, so that he foamed, and rolled upon the ground.
21 And he questioned his father, 'How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, 'From childhood,
Jesus asked the father, How long is it since this first befell him? He answered, From his infancy;
22 and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'
and often it has thrown him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have compassion upon us and help us.
23 And Jesus said to him, 'If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'
Jesus replied, If you can believe; all things are practicable for him who believes.
24 and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, 'I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.'
The boy's father, crying out immediately, said with tears, I believe; Master, supply the defects of my faith.
25 Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, 'Spirit — dumb and deaf — I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;'
When Jesus saw that the people came crowding upon him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, come out of him, I command you, and enter no more into him.
26 and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
Then, having cried aloud and severely convulsed him, it came out, and he appeared as one dead, insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself — 'Why were we not able to cast it forth?'
When Jesus was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we expel the demon?
29 And he said to them, 'This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.'
He answered, This kind can not be dislodged unless by prayer and fasting.
30 And having gone forth thence, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know,
Having left that place, they pass through Galilee; and he was desirous that no person should know it,
31 for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, 'The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,'
for he was instructing his disciples. And he said to them, The Son of Man will soon be delivered into the hands of men, who will kill him; and after he is killed, he will rise again the third day.
32 but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.
But they understood not what he meant, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, 'What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?'
When he was come to Capernaum, being in the house, he asked them, What were you debating amongst yourselves by the way?
34 and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;
But they were silent; for they had debated amongst themselves by the way, who should be greatest.
35 and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, 'If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.'
Then having sat down, he called the twelve, and said to them, If any man would be first, he shall be the last of all, and the servant of all.
36 And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in his arms, said to them,
And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and holding him in his arms, said to them,
37 'Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me, but Him who sent me.'
Whosoever shall receive one such child on my account, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him who sent me.
38 And John did answer him, saying, 'Teacher, we saw a certain one in thy name casting out demons, who doth not follow us, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow us.'
Then John said to him, Rabbi, we saw one expelling demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.
39 And Jesus said, 'Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:
Jesus answered, Forbid him not; for there is none that works a miracle in my name, that can readily speak evil of me.
40 for he who is not against us is for us;
For whosoever is not against you is for you.
41 for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward;
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink on my account, because you are Christ's; indeed, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.
But whoever shall ensnare any of the little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were fastened to his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.
43 'And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable — (Geenna g1067)
Moreover, if your hand ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter maimed into life, than having two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
44 where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
45 'And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable — (Geenna g1067)
And if your foot ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter lame into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
46 where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire — (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye ensnare you, pull it out; it is better for you to enter one-eyed into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire; (Geenna g1067)
48 where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
49 for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted.
For every one shall be seasoned with fire; as every sacrifice is seasoned with salt.
50 The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.'
Salt is good; but if the salt become tasteless, with what will you season it? Preserve salt in yourselves, and maintain peace with one another.
