Mark 9

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 And He said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Kingdom of God come with power."

2 And after six days Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and led them up onto a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.

3 And His raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow, such as no fuller on earth could whiten them.

4 And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

5 And Peter spoke and said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tabernacles: one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah--"

6 for he knew not what to say, for they were sore afraid.

7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "THIS IS MY BELOVED SON: HEAR HIM!"

8 And suddenly when they had looked round about, they saw no man anymore, save Jesus only with them.

9 And as they came down from the mountain, He charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of Man were risen from the dead.

10 And they kept that saying to themselves, questioning one another what "rising from the dead" should mean.

11 And they asked Him, saying, "Why say the scribes that first Elijah must come?"

12 And He answered and told them, "Elijah verily cometh first and restoreth all things, and how it is written of the Son of Man that He must suffer many things and be set at nought.

13 But I say unto you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they pleased, as it is written of him."

14 And when He came to His disciples, He saw a great multitude about them and the scribes questioning with them.

15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld Him, were greatly amazed; and running to Him, they greeted Him.

16 And He asked the scribes, "What question ye with them?"

17 And one of the multitude answered and said, "Master, I have brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit.

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not."

19 Jesus answered him and said, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto Me."

20 And they brought the boy unto Him. And when the spirit saw Him, straightway he tore the boy; and he fell on the ground and wallowed about foaming.

21 And He asked his father, "How long is it ago since this came unto him?" And he said, "From childhood.

22 And oftentimes it hath cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him; but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us and help us."

23 Jesus said unto him, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."

24 And straightway the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief!"

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him and enter no more into him."

26 And the spirit cried, and rent the boy sorely and came out of him; and he was as one dead, insomuch that many said, "He is dead."

27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could not we cast him out?"

29 And He said unto them, "This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting."

30 And they departed thence and passed through Galilee, and He would not that any man should know it.

31 For He taught His disciples and said unto them, "The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill Him; and after He is killed, He shall rise the third day."

32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

33 And He came to Capernaum; and being in the house, He asked them, "What was it that ye disputed among yourselves on the way?"

34 But they held their peace, for on the way they had disputed among themselves as to who should be the greatest.

35 And He sat down, and called the twelve and said unto them, "If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all and servant of all."

36 And He took a child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said unto them,

37 "Whosoever shall receive one of such children in My name, receiveth Me; and whosoever shall receive Me, receiveth not Me, but Him that sent Me."

38 And John answered Him, saying, "Master, we saw one casting out devils in Thy name, but he followeth us not, so we forbad him because he followeth not us."

39 But Jesus said, "Forbid him not, for there is no man who shall do a miracle in My name that can lightly speak evil of Me.

40 For he that is not against us is on our side.

41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

42 And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in Me to fall, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea.

43 And if thy hand cause 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 never shall be quenched,

44 where `their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'

45 And if thy foot cause 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 never shall be quenched,

46 where `their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'

47 And if thine eye cause 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 fire,

48 where `their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'

49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost his saltness, with what will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 He said to them, "I can guarantee this truth: Some people who are standing here will not die until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power."

2 After six days Jesus took only Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain where they could be alone. Jesus' appearance changed in front of them.

3 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach them.

4 Then Elijah and Moses appeared to them and were talking with Jesus.

5 Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it's good that we're here. Let's put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

6 (Peter didn't know how to respond. He and the others were terrified.)

7 Then a cloud overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud and said, "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"

8 Suddenly, as they looked around, they saw no one with them but Jesus.

9 On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen. They were to wait until the Son of Man had come back to life.

10 They kept in mind what he said but argued among themselves what he meant by "come back to life."

11 So they asked him, "Don't the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

12 Jesus said to them, "Elijah is coming first and will put everything in order again. But in what sense was it written that the Son of Man must suffer a lot and be treated shamefully?

13 Indeed, I can guarantee that Elijah has come. Yet, people treated him as they pleased, as Scripture says about him."

14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them. Some scribes were arguing with them.

15 All the people were very surprised to see Jesus and ran to welcome him.

16 Jesus asked the scribes, "What are you arguing about with them?"

17 A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son. He is possessed by a spirit that won't let him talk.

18 Whenever the spirit brings on a seizure, it throws him to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes exhausted. I asked your disciples to force the spirit out, but they didn't have the power to do it."

19 Jesus said to them, "You unbelieving generation! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me!"

20 They brought the boy to him. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, it threw the boy into convulsions. He fell on the ground, rolled around, and foamed at the mouth.

21 Jesus asked his father, "How long has he been like this?" The father replied, "He has been this way since he was a child.

22 The demon has often thrown him into fire or into water to destroy him. If it's possible for you, put yourself in our place, and help us!"

23 Jesus said to him, "As far as possibilities go, everything is possible for the person who believes."

24 The child's father cried out at once, "I believe! Help my lack of faith."

25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he gave an order to the evil spirit. He said, "You spirit that won't let him talk, I command you to come out of him and never enter him again."

26 The evil spirit screamed, shook the child violently, and came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, and everyone said, "He's dead!"

27 Jesus took his hand and helped him to stand up.

28 When Jesus went into a house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we force the spirit out of the boy?"

29 He told them, "This kind of spirit can be forced out only by prayer."

30 They left that place and were passing through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where he was

31 because he was teaching his disciples. He taught them, "The Son of Man will be betrayed and handed over to people. They will kill him, but on the third day he will come back to life."

32 The disciples didn't understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him.

33 Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples, "What were you arguing about on the road?"

34 They were silent. On the road they had argued about who was the greatest.

35 He sat down and called the twelve apostles. He told them, "Whoever wants to be the most important person must take the last place and be a servant to everyone else."

36 Then he took a little child and had him stand among them. He put his arms around the child and said to them,

37 "Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me. Whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me."

38 John said to Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone forcing demons out of a person by using the power and authority of your name. We tried to stop him because he was not one of us."

39 Jesus said, "Don't stop him! No one who works a miracle in my name can turn around and speak evil of me.

40 Whoever isn't against us is for us.

41 I can guarantee this truth: Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward."

42 "These little ones believe in me. It would be best for the person who causes one of them to lose faith to be thrown into the sea with a large stone hung around his neck.

43 "So if your hand causes you to lose your faith, cut it off! It is better for you to enter life disabled than to have two hands and go to hell, to the fire that cannot be put out.

44

45 If your foot causes you to lose your faith, cut it off! It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

46

47 If your eye causes you to lose your faith, tear it out! It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell.

48 In hell worms that eat the body never die, and the fire is never put out.

49 Everyone will be salted with fire.

50 Salt is good. But if salt loses its taste, how will you restore its flavor? Have salt within you, and live in peace with one another."
