Mark 9

Whiston^{(i) 1} And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that there be some of them that stand here with me, who shall not taste of death, till they shall see the kingdom of God come with power. ² And after six days, Jesus taketh with him, Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. ³ And his raiment, became shining, exceeding white as snow; such as no one upon earth can so white them. ⁴ And Elias appeared unto them with Moses and talked with Jesus. ⁵ And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and wilt thou that I make thee three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias? ⁶ For he knew not what he should say, for they were sore afraid. ⁷ And there was a cloud overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. ⁸ And presently when they had looked round about, they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves. ⁹ And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. ¹⁰ But they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what it was when he should rise from the dead? ¹¹ And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes, Elias must first come? ¹² And he answered and said to them, If Elias cometh first, he will restore all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. ¹³ I say unto you, that Elias is come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they would, as it is written of him. ¹⁴ And when he came to [his] disciples, he saw a great multitude with them, and the scribes questioning with them. ¹⁵ And straitway all the multitude, when they beheld Jesus, were greatly amazed, and rejoycing, saluted him. ¹⁶ And he asked them, What question ye among yourselves? ¹⁷ And one of the multitude answered him; Master, I have brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb Spirit: ¹⁸ And wheresoever he taketh him, he dasheth him against the ground; and he fometh, and gnasheth [his] teeth, and withered away: and I said to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they could not cast him out. ¹⁹ And he answered them, and saith, O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? how long must I suffer you? bring him unto me. ²⁰ And they brought him: and when he saw him, the spirit disturbed him, and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foming. ²¹ And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, from a Child. ²² And oft-times it casteth him into the fire, and into the waters to destroy him; but if thou canst do any thing, O Lord, 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 cries out, and says with tears, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. ²⁵ And 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 [it] cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him; and he was as dead, insomuch that many said, He is dead. ²⁷ But Jesus took hold of his hand, and lifted him up, and he arose. ²⁸ And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it 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 three days he shall rise again. ³² But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. ³³ And they came to Capharnaum, and being in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed by the way? ³⁴ But they held their peace: for they had disputed among themselves, who [should be] the greatest. ³⁵ Then he sat down, and called [them]; 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 such child in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. ³⁸ John answered him and said, Master, we saw one casting out dæmons in thy name, who followeth not with us; and we forbad [him]. ³⁹ But he answered and said, Do not ye forbid him: for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, that can soon speak evil of me. ⁴⁰ For he that is not against us, is on our part. ⁴¹ For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye are Christs, verily I say unto you, that he shall not lose his reward. ⁴² And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that have faith, it is better for him, that a milstone were hanged upon his neck, and he were cast into the sea. ⁴³ And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to be cast into gehenna, where is the unquenchable fire. ⁴⁴ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into eternal life, than having two feet, to be cast into gehenna, 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 scandalize thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye; than having two eyes to go away into gehenna: ⁴⁸ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹ For every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. ⁵⁰ Salt [is] good: but if the salt shall have lost its saltness, wherewith shall it be seasoned? Have salt in your selves, and be at peace one with another.
