Mark 9




1.  And he said * unto them, Verily I say * unto you, That there be * some of them that stand * here, which shall * not taste * of death, till they have seen * 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; so as no fuller on earth can * white * them.

4.  And there appeared * unto them Elias with Moses: and they were * talking * with Jesus.

5.  And Peter answered * and said * to Jesus, Master, it is * good for us to be * here: and let us make * three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses,and one for Elias.

6.  For he wist * 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 any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

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 with themselves, questioning one with another * what the rising * from the dead should mean * .

11.  And they asked * him, saying * , Why say * the scribes that Elias must * first come * ?

12.  And he answered * and told * them, Elias 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 Elias is * indeed come * , and they have done * unto him whatsoever they listed * , 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 saluted * 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, which hath * a dumb spirit;

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

19.  He answereth * him, and saith * , O faithless generation, how long shall I be * with you?how long shall I suffer * you?bring * him unto me.

20.  And they brought * him unto him: and when he saw * him,straightway the spirit tare * him; and he fell * on the ground, and wallowed * foaming * .

21.  And he asked * his father, How long is it * ago since this came * unto him? And he said * , Of a child.

22.  And ofttimes 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 * him sore, 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 was 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 that 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 by the way?

34.  But they held their peace * : for by the way they had disputed * among themselves, who should be the greatest.

35.  And he sat down * , and called * the twelve, and saith * 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, and he followeth * not us: and we forbad * him, because he followeth * not us.

39.  But Jesus said * , Forbid * him not: for there is * no man which 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 part.

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 offend * one of these little ones that believe * in me, 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 offend * thee, 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 offend * thee, 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 offend * thee, 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 have lost * his saltness, wherewith will ye season * it? Have * salt in yourselves, and have peace * one * with another.
