| 1 |
And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power." | |
| 2 |
And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them, | The Transfiguration of Jesus Mk.9.2-13 (Mount Hermon) -[ Mk.9.2-13 → ] - Mt.17.1-13, Lk.9.28-36 |
| 3 |
and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them. | |
| 4 |
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. | |
| 5 |
And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." | |
| 6 |
For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid. | |
| 7 |
And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him." | |
| 8 |
And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only. | |
| 9 |
And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead. | |
| 10 |
So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant. | |
| 11 |
And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?" | |
| 12 |
And he said to them, "Elijah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? | |
| 13 |
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him." | |
| 14 |
And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them, and scribes arguing with them. | ← The Healing of a Boy with an Unclean Spirit Mk.9.14-29 (Mount Hermon) -[ Mk.9.14-29 → ] - Mt.17.14-21, Lk.9.37-43 |
| 15 |
And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him. | |
| 16 |
And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?" | |
| 17 |
And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit; | |
| 18 |
and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able." | |
| 19 |
And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me." | |
| 20 |
And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. | |
| 21 |
And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood. | |
| 22 |
And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us." | |
| 23 |
And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes." | |
| 24 |
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!" | |
| 25 |
And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again." | |
| 26 |
And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead." | |
| 27 |
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. | |
| 28 |
And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?" | |
| 29 |
And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer." | |
| 30 |
They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have anyone know it; | Jesus again Foretells his Death and Resurrection Mk.9.30-32 (Mount Hermon) -[ Mk.9.30-32 → ] - Mt.17.22-23, Lk.9.43-45 |
| 31 |
for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise." | |
| 32 |
But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him. | |
| 33 |
And they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?" | Who is the Greatest? Mk.9.33-37 (Capernaum) -[ Mk.9.33-37 → ] - Mt.18.1-5, Lk.9.46-48 |
| 34 |
But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest. | |
| 35 |
And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all." | |
| 36 |
And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them, | |
| 37 |
"Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me." | |
| 38 |
John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us." | He Who is Not against Us is for Us Mk.9.38-41 (Capernaum) -[ Mk.9.38-41 → ] - Lk.9.48-50 |
| 39 |
But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me. | |
| 40 |
For he that is not against us is for us. | |
| 41 |
For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward. | |
| 42 |
"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin , it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea. | Temptations to Sin Mk.9.42-48 (Capernaum) -[ Mk.9.42-48 → ] - Mt.18.6-9, Lk.17.1-2 |
| 43 |
And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. | |
| 44 |
| |
| 45 |
And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. | |
| 46 |
| |
| 47 |
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, | |
| 48 |
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. | - where their worm does not die Mk.9.48 - Is.66.24 |
| 49 |
For everyone will be salted with fire. | |
| 50 |
Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another." | |
