Mark
9 And he was saying to them: Verily I say unto you—There are certain of those here standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God already come in power.
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart, alone,—and he was transformed before them;
3 and his garments became brilliant, exceeding white such as no fuller on the earth is able so to whiten.
4 And there appeared unto them Elijah, with Moses,—and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 And Peter answering saith unto Jesus—Rabbi! it is delightful for us to be here,—let us therefore make three tents, for thee one and for Moses one, and for Elijah one;
6 for he knew not what he should answer, for greatly affrighted had they become.
7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud,—This is my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him.
8 And suddenly looking round, no longer saw they anyone with them, save Jesus only.
9 And as they were coming down out of the mountain he charged them, that unto no one they should narrate what they had seen, save whenever the Son of man from among the dead should arise.
10 And the word they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was the rising from among the dead.
11 And they began to question him, saying—The Scribes say that Elijah must needs come first?
12 And he said unto them—Elijah indeed coming first restoreth all things And yet how is it written regarding the Son of Man, that many things he must suffer and be set at nought?
13 But I say unto you—Elijah also hath come, And they have done with him whatsoever they pleased,—According as it is written regarding him.
14 And coming unto the disciples they saw a large multitude around them, and Scribes discussing with them.
15 And straightway all the multitude seeing him were greatly amazed, and running near began saluting him.
16 And he questioned them—What are ye discussing with them?
17 And one out of the multitude answered him—Teacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
18 and wheresoever it seizeth him it teareth him, and he foameth and grindeth his teeth, and weareth himself out;—and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out, and they could not.
19 But he answering saith—O faithless generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him unto me!
20 And they brought him unto him. And seeing him the spirit straightway tare him,—and falling upon the ground he wallowed foaming.
21 And he questioned his father—How long a time is it that this hath befallen him? and he said—From childhood;
22 and many times hath it cast him both into fire and into waters, that it might destroy him; But if anything be possible to thee help us, having compassion upon us.
23 And Jesus said unto him—As for this, If it be possible to thee All things are possible to him who hath faith.
24 Straightway crying out the father of the child was saying—I have faith! help my want of faith.
25 And Jesus seeing that a multitude is running together rebuked the impure spirit, saying unto it—Thou dumb and deaf spirit! I give orders unto thee: Come forth out of him, and do not any more enter into him.
26 And crying out and greatly mangling him it came forth; and he became as if dead, so that the more part were saying—He is dead!
27 But Jesus grasping his hand raised him, and he stood up.
28 And when he had gone into a house his disciples privately were questioning him—Why were we not able to cast it out?
29 And he said unto them—This kind by nothing can come out, save by prayer.
30 And from thence going forth, they were journeying through Galilee,—and he was not wishing that any should get to know it;
31 for he was teaching his disciples and saying [unto them] The Son of Man is to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will slay him,—and being slain after three days will he arise.
32 But they were not understanding the declaration, and feared to question him.
33 And they came into Capernaum. And happening to be in the house he was questioning them—What in the way were ye discussing?
34 And they were silent; for with one another they had discussed in the way, who should be greatest.
35 And taking a seat he addressed the twelve, and saith unto them—If anyone willeth to be first He shall be least of all, And minister of all.
36 And taking a child he set it in the midst of them,—and folding it in his arms said unto them—
37 Whosoever unto [one of] these children shall give welcome upon my name unto me giveth welcome; And whosoever unto me giveth welcome not unto me giveth welcome, but unto him that sent me.
38 John said unto him—Teacher! we saw someone in thy name casting out demons,—and we forbade him, because he was not following with us.
39 But Jesus said—Do not forbid him! For no one is there who shall do a work of power in my name, and have power soon to revile me;
40 For whosoever is not against us is for us;
41 For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in name that Christ’s ye are Verily! I say unto you—In nowise shall lose his reward.
42 And whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones that believe It is seemly for him rather, if there is hung a large millstone about his neck, and he is cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand shall cause thee to stumble cut it off,—It is seemly for thee maimed to enter into life, Rather than having the two hands to depart into the gehenna, into the fire that is not quenched;
44 []
45 And if thy foot be causing thee to stumble Cut it off,—It is seemly for thee to enter into life lame, Rather than having the two feet to be cast into the gehenna;
46 []
47 And if thine eye be causing thee to stumble Thrust it out,—It is seemly for thee one-eyed to enter into the kingdom of God, Rather than having two eyes to be cast into gehenna,—
48 Where their worm dieth not, And the fire is not quenched,
49 For everyone with fire shall be salted.
50 Salt is good; but if salt become saltless wherewith will ye prepare it? Have within yourselves salt, and be at peace one with another.
