Mark 9
9
1 And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John; and he led them separately to a lofty mountain alone; and he was transfigured before them.
2 And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve.
3 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus.
4 And in response, Peter said to Jesus: "Master, it is good for us to be here. And so let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.
6 And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: "This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him."
7 And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
8 And as they were descending from the mountain, he instructed them not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until after the Son of man will have risen again from the dead.
9 And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what "after he will have risen from the dead" might mean.
10 And they questioned him, saying: "Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?"
11 And in response, he said to them: "Elijah, when he will arrive first, shall restore all things. And in the manner that it has been written about the Son of man, so must he suffer many things and be condemned.
12 But I say to you, that Elijah also has arrived, (and they have done to him whatever they wanted) just as it has been written about him."
13 And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.
14 And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.
15 And he questioned them, "What are you arguing about among yourselves?"
16 And one from the crowd responded by saying: "Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit.
17 And whenever it takes hold of him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes with his teeth, and he becomes unconscious. And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they could not."
18 And answering them, he said: "O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to me."
19 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit disturbed him. And having been thrown to the ground, he rolled around foaming.
20 And he questioned his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" But he said: "From infancy.
21 And often it casts him into fire or into water, in order to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, help us and take pity on us."
22 But Jesus said to him, "If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes."
23 And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: "I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief."
24 And when Jesus saw the crowd rushing together, he admonished the unclean spirit, saying to him, "Deaf and mute spirit, I command you, leave him; and do not enter into him anymore."
25 And crying out, and convulsing him greatly, he departed from him. And he became like one who is dead, so much so that many said, "He is dead."
26 But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.
27 And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, "Why were we unable to cast him out?"
28 And he said to them, "This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting."
29 And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.
30 Then he taught his disciples, and he said to them, "For the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and having been killed, on the third day he will rise again."
31 But they did not understand the word. And they were afraid to question him.
32 And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, "What did you discuss on the way?"
33 But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.
34 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and he said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he shall be the last of all and the minister of all."
35 And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:
36 "Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me."
37 John responded to him by saying, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; he does not follow us, and so we prohibited him."
38 But Jesus said: "Do not prohibit him. For there is no one who can act with virtue in my name and soon speak evil about me.
39 For whoever is not against you is for you.
40 For whoever, in my name, will give you a cup of water to drink, because you belong to Christ: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
41 And whoever will have scandalized one of these little ones who believe in me: it would be better for him if a great millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
42 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life disabled, than having two hands to go into Hell, into the unquenchable fire,
43 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
44 But if your foot causes you to sin, chop it off: it is better for you to enter into eternal life lame, than having two feet to be cast into the Hell of unquenchable fire,
45 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
46 But if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the Hell of fire,
47 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
48 For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.
49 Salt is good: but if the salt has become bland, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace among yourselves."

Mark 9
1¶ He also said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there are some of those who are here who shall not taste of death until they have seen the kingdom of God which comes with power.
2And six days afterwards Jesus took Peter and James and John, and separated them apart by themselves unto a high mountain; and he was transfigured before them.
3And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5Then Peter answering, said unto Jesus, Master, it shall be good for us to remain here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for thee, and another for Moses, and another for Elijah.
6For he knew not what he was saying, for he was beside himself.
7And a cloud came that overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear ye him.
8And suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one any more, except Jesus only with themselves.
9And as they came down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen until the Son of man was risen from the dead.
10And they kept the word within themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should be.
11And they asked him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?
12And he answered and told them, Elijah verily shall come first and restore all things and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be esteemed as nothing.
13But I say unto you, That Elijah has indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they wished, as it is written of him.
14¶ And as he came to the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them and scribes that disputed with them.
15And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16And he asked the scribes, What dispute ye with them?
17And one of the multitude answering, said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, who has a dumb spirit;
18and wherever he takes him, he tears him, and he foams and gnashes with his teeth and pines away; and I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not.
19Answering, he said unto him, O unfaithful generation, how long shall I be with you? How long must I suffer you? Bring him unto me.
20And they brought him unto him; and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground and wallowed foaming.
21And Jesus asked his father, How long ago is it since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22And ofttimes it has cast him into the fire and into the waters to kill him, but if thou canst do any thing, help us, having mercy on us.
23And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe this, all things are possible to him that believes.
24And straightway the father of the child crying out with tears, said, Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief.
25When Jesus saw that the multitude concurred, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him and enter no more into him.
26Then the spirit, crying out and rending him sore, came out; and he remained as one dead, insomuch that many said that he was dead.
27But Jesus, taking him by the hand, straightened him up; and he arose.
28And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30¶ And having left there, they walked together through Galilee; and he did not wish that anyone should know of it.
31For he went on teaching his disciples and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after he is dead, he shall rise the third day.
32But they did not understand this word and were afraid to ask him.
33And he came to Capernaum; and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves on the way?
34But they were silent; for on the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
35Then, sitting down, he called the twelve and said unto them, If anyone desires to be first, the same shall be last of all and servant of all.
36And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,
37Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him that sent me.
38And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name and he does not follow us; and we forbade him because he does not follow us.
39But Jesus said, Forbid him not, for there is no one who does a miracle in my name that can then speak evil of me.
40For he that is not against us is for us.
41¶ For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name because ye are of the Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
42And whosoever shall be a stumbling block to one of these little ones that believe in me, it would be better for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43And if thy hand causes thee to fall, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life maimed than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that can never be quenched,
44where their worm does not die, and the fire is never quenched.
45And if thy foot causes thee to fall, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter halt into life than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that can never be quenched,
46where their worm does not die, and the fire is never quenched.
47And if thine eye causes thee to fall, 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,
48where their worm does not die, and the fire is never quenched.
49For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltness, with what will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
