Mark 9 — GNB
9Verse 1And he said to them, Truly do I say to you, There are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen that the kingdom of God hath come with power.Verse 2And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.Verse 3And his garments became glistening, very white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten.Verse 4And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.Verse 5And Peter answering saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.Verse 6For he knew not what to answer; for they were struck with terror.Verse 7And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.Verse 8And suddenly looking round, they no longer saw any one but Jesus alone with themselves.Verse 9And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them to give no account of what they had seen to any one, till the Son of man should have risen from the dead.Verse 10And they kept these words in mind, questioning one another what rising from the dead might mean.Verse 11And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?Verse 12And he said to them, Elijah cometh first, and restoreth all things. And how hath it been written of the Son of man? that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.Verse 13But I say to you that Elijah hath come, and they have done to him whatever they would; as it hath been written concerning him.Verse 14And coming to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes debating with them.Verse 15And immediately the whole multitude on seeing him was struck with awe, and running to him, saluted him.Verse 16And he asked them, About what are ye debating with them?Verse 17And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit.Verse 18And wherever it seizeth hold of him, it throweth him down; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth; and he pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.Verse 19He answereth and saith to them, O unbelieving generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.Verse 20And they brought him to him. And as soon as he saw him, the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.Verse 21And he asked his father, How long hath it been thus with him? And he said, From a child;Verse 22and it hath often cast him both into fire, and into water, to destroy him; but if thou art able to do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.Verse 23Jesus said to him, If thou art able? All things are possible for him that believeth.Verse 24The father of the child immediately cried out and said, I believe; help thou my unbelief.Verse 25And Jesus seeing that the multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.Verse 26And uttering a cry, and convulsing him much, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that very many said, He is dead.Verse 27But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up.Verse 28And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?Verse 29And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer.Verse 30And departing thence, they passed through Galilee; and he would not that any one should know it.Verse 31For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he hath been put to death, after three days he will rise again.Verse 32But they understood not what he said, and were afraid to ask him.Verse 33And they came to Capernaum; and having come into the house, he asked them, About what were ye disputing on the road?Verse 34But they were silent; for on the road they had been disputing with one another, who was greatest.Verse 35And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any one desire to be first, he will be last of all, and servant of all.Verse 36And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,Verse 37Whoever receiveth one of these children in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.Verse 38John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did not follow us.Verse 39But Jesus said, Forbid him not. For no one, who shall do a miracle in my name, can readily speak evil of me.Verse 40For he that is not against us is for us.Verse 41For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, truly do I say to you, he will not lose his reward.Verse 42And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe to fall away, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea.Verse 43And if thy hand cause thee to fall away, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable.Verse 44Verse 45And if thy foot is causing thee to fall away, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into hell.Verse 46Verse 47And if thine eye is causing thee to fall away, 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,Verse 48where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.Verse 49For every one will be salted with fire.Verse 50Salt is good; but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
