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.
