栄光に輝くイエス
9 イエスはさらに、ことばをお続けになりました。「ここに立っている人たちの中には、神の国が大きな力を持って来るのを見るまで、生きている人がいます。」
2 それから六日後、イエスはペテロとヤコブとヨハネだけを連れて、山に登られました。すると突然、イエスの顔が栄光に輝き、 3 着物はまばゆいばかりの白さになりました。世のどんな布さらし屋も、こんなに白くはできないと思われるほどの白さでした。 4 そこへ、なんとエリヤとモーセが現れ、イエスと親しく話し始めたではありませんか。
5 これを見たペテロは、思わず叫びました。「先生。なんとすばらしいことでしょう！ ここに、お一人に一つずつ、三つの幕屋（神がイスラエルの民と会う聖所）を建てましょう。」
6 こう言う以外に、何と言ってよいかわからなかったのです。弟子たちはおびえ切っていました。
7 ペテロがまだ言い終わらないうちに、雲がすっぽり彼らを包んで、太陽をさえぎったかと思うと、雲の中から、「これはわたしの愛する子。彼の言うことを聞きなさい」という声がしました。
8 あっけにとられた弟子たちがあたりを見回すと、すでにモーセとエリヤの姿はありませんでした。ただイエスがおられるだけでした。
9 山を降りながら、イエスは弟子たちに、いま見たことを、自分が死者の中から復活する時まで、だれにも口外しないようにとお命じになりました。 10 三人はそのことを深く心に秘めておきましたが、「死者の中から復活する」とはどういう意味かわからず、あれこれ話し合いました。
11 そこで彼らはイエスに、「どうしてユダヤ人の宗教的指導者たちは、メシヤ（救い主）が来る前に必ずエリヤが来るはずだ、と言っているのでしょうか」と尋ねました〔もしイエスがメシヤなら、先に来ているはずのエリヤはどうなっているのかと思ったからです〕。 12-13 イエスは、「まずエリヤが来て道を整えるというのはほんとうです。実際、エリヤはもう来たのです」とお答えになりました。そして、エリヤが預言どおり、人々からひどい仕打ちを受けたことを説明してから、「では、メシヤが多くの苦しみを受け、さげすまれると預言されていることは、どう考えますか」とお尋ねになりました。
山を降りたイエス
14 四人が弟子たちのところに帰って来てみると、大ぜいの群衆に囲まれて、弟子たちと数人のユダヤ人の指導者たちが論争のまっ最中でした。 15 人々は、イエスの姿を見て驚き、すぐに駆け寄り、あいさつしました。 16 イエスは、「何を議論しているのですか」とお尋ねになりました。
17 すると一人の男が、こう答えました。「先生。あなたに息子を治していただこうと連れてまいりました。息子は悪霊につかれていて、ものを言うことができません。 18 この悪霊が取りつくと、どこであろうと、あたりかまわず押し倒すので、息子は口からあわを吹き、歯ぎしりして、体を硬直させてしまいます。お弟子さんたちに、悪霊を追い出してくださるよう願ったのですが、できませんでした。」
19 「ああ、なんと信仰の薄い人たちでしょう。いつまで、あなたがたといっしょにいなければならないのでしょうか。さあ、その子を連れて来なさい。」
20 さっそく少年が連れて来られました。ところが、イエスを見るなり悪霊が彼をひどくひきつけさせたので、彼はばったり倒れ、あわを吹いて転げ回りました。
21 イエスは父親にお尋ねになりました。「いつからこのようになったのですか。」「それが、小さい時分からなのです。 22 悪霊はこの子を殺そうと、何度も火の中、水の中に倒したのです。先生、お願いです。もしおできになるなら、何とかして助けてください。」
23 「もしできるなら、と言うのですか。あなたが信じるなら、どんなことでもできるのです。」
24 「信じます、信じますとも！ ああ、どうか不信仰な私をお助けください。」
25 人だかりがだんだん大きくなるのを見て、イエスは悪霊をしかりつけました。「聞くことも言うこともできなくさせる霊よ。さあ、この子から出て行きなさい。二度と戻って来てはいけない。」
26 すると悪霊は大声をあげ、もう一度、少年を激しくひきつけさせて出て行きました。少年はぐったりとなり、まるで死んだように動きません。人々はざわつき始めました。「おい、死んでしまったぞ」というささやきも聞こえます。 27 ところが、イエスが少年の手を取って起こされると、彼はぱっと立ち上がり、すっかり元気になりました。 28 あとで家に入り、ほかにはだれもいなくなった時、弟子たちはイエスに尋ねました。「どうして私たちには、あの悪霊を追い出せなかったのでしょう。」
29 イエスは、「こういうことには、特に祈りが必要なのです」とお答えになりました。
30 一行はそこを去り、ガリラヤを通って行きました。イエスは、できるだけ人目につかないように心を配っておられました。 31 なるべく多くの時間をさいて、弟子たちと語り合い、教育するつもりだったからです。「メシヤ（救い主）であるわたしは裏切られ、殺され、そして三日目に復活します」と、イエスは教えられました。
32 しかし、弟子たちには何のことかわかりませんでした。かといって、イエスに直接その意味を尋ねるのもこわかったのです。
33 カペナウムに着き、泊まることになっていた家に入ってしばらくすると、イエスは弟子たちに、「ここへ来る途中、何を言い合っていたのですか」とお尋ねになりました。
34 弟子たちは顔を真っ赤にして、うつむいてしまいました。実は、自分たちの中でだれが一番偉いかと言い合っていたからです。
35 イエスは腰をおろし、弟子たちを回りに呼び寄せると、「だれでも一番偉くなりたい人は、一番小さい者となり、だれにでも仕える者となりなさい」と教えられました。 36 それから、小さな子どもを真ん中に立たせ、腕に抱いて言われました。 37 「見なさい。だれでもわたしの名のゆえに、このような小さい者をも受け入れる人は、わたしを受け入れているのです。そして、わたしを受け入れるなら、わたしを遣わされたわたしの父をも受け入れているのです。」
38 ある時、弟子のヨハネがイエスに言いました。「先生。あなたのお名前を使って悪霊を追い出している人を見かけました。でも、私たちの仲間ではなかったので、すぐにやめさせました。」
39 するとイエスは言われました。「やめさせることはありません。わたしの名によって奇跡を行いながら、そのすぐあとで、わたしに逆らう者はいないのですから。 40 わたしたちに反対しない者は、味方なのです。 41 よく言っておきますが、あなたがたがキリストの弟子だと知って、水一杯でも飲ませてくれる人は、必ず報いを受けます。
42 だが反対に、私を信じるこのような小さい者の一人にでも信仰を失わせる者は、大きな石を首にくくりつけられて、海に投げ込まれたほうがましです。
43-44 もしあなたの手が悪いことをするなら、切り取ってしまいなさい。片手になっても永遠に生きるほうが、両手そろって、いつまでも燃え続ける地獄の火に投げ込まれるよりは、ずっとよいのです。 45-46 もし足があなたを悪事に引きずり込むなら、切り取ってしまいなさい。片足になっても永遠に生きるほうが、両足そろって地獄に落ちるよりは、ずっとよいのです。
47 もし目が罪を犯すなら、えぐり出してしまいなさい。片目になっても神の国に入るほうが、両目そろって地獄の火を見るより、はるかによいのです。 48 地獄では、彼らを食ううじはいつまでも死なず、燃えさかる火は消えることがありません。
49 すべてのものは、火のような試練によって塩けをつけられるのです。 50 良い塩も、塩けをなくしたら、だいなしです。味つけの役に立たなくなってしまいます。だからあなたがたも、塩けをなくさないように、よく注意しなさい。そして、互いに仲良く暮らしなさい。」
Mark 9
New International Version
Mark 9
New International Version
9 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come(A) with power.”(B)
The Transfiguration(C)(D)
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John(E) with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white,(F) whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(G) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)
7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud:(H) “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”(I)
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone(J) what they had seen until the Son of Man(K) had risen from the dead. 10 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.
11 And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man(L) must suffer much(M) and be rejected?(N) 13 But I tell you, Elijah has come,(O) and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”
Jesus Heals a Boy Possessed by an Impure Spirit(P)
14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.
17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”
19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.(Q)
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”(R)
24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene,(S) he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”
26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately,(T) “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.[a]”
Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time(U)
30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man(V) is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him,(W) and after three days(X) he will rise.”(Y) 32 But they did not understand what he meant(Z) and were afraid to ask him about it.
33 They came to Capernaum.(AA) When he was in the house,(AB) he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” 34 But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.(AC)
35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”(AD)
36 He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms,(AE) he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”(AF)
Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us(AG)
38 “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”(AH)
39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40 for whoever is not against us is for us.(AI) 41 Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.(AJ)
Causing to Stumble
42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble,(AK) it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.(AL) 43 If your hand causes you to stumble,(AM) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell,(AN) where the fire never goes out.(AO) [44] [b] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble,(AP) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.(AQ) [46] [c] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble,(AR) pluck 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,(AS) 48 where
49 Everyone will be salted(AU) with fire.
50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again?(AV) Have salt among yourselves,(AW) and be at peace with each other.”(AX)

Chapter 9
1 Then he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”[a]
Jesus Is Transfigured.[b] 2 Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And in their presence he was transfigured; 3 his clothes became dazzling white—whiter than anyone on earth could bleach them. 4 And Elijah with Moses appeared, conversing with Jesus.
5 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 He did not know what to say, for they were so frightened. 7 Then a cloud cast a shadow over them, and a voice came out of the cloud: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” 8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them anymore, but only Jesus.
Elijah Has Already Come.[c] 9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 Therefore, they kept the matter to themselves, although they did argue about what rising from the dead could possibly mean.
11 And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12 He said to them, “Elijah will indeed come first and restore all things. Yet how is it written about the Son of Man?—that he must endure great suffering and be treated with contempt! 13 However, I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written about him.”
14 Jesus Heals a Boy Possessed by a Spirit.[d] When they returned to the disciples, they saw a large crowd surrounding them, and some scribes were engaged in an argument with them. 15 As soon as the people saw Jesus, they were overcome with awe and ran forward to greet him. 16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?”
17 A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I have brought you my son who is possessed by a spirit that makes him unable to speak. 18 Wherever it seizes him, it flings him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable to do so.”
19 Jesus said to them in reply, “O unbelieving generation, how much longer shall I remain with you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” 20 When they brought the boy to him, the spirit saw him and immediately threw the child into convulsions. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked the father, “How long has the boy been in this condition?” “From childhood,” he replied. 22 “It has often tried to kill him by throwing him into a fire or into water. If it is possible for you to do anything, have pity on us and help us.” 23 Jesus answered, “If it is possible! All things are possible for one who has faith.” 24 Immediately, the father of the child cried out, “I do believe. Help my unbelief.”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering around them, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you: come out of him and never enter him again!” 26 Shrieking and throwing the boy into convulsions, it came out of him. He lay there like a corpse, so that many remarked, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus, taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 When he went indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why were we not able to cast it out?” 29 He answered, “This kind cannot be driven out except by prayer [and by fasting].”[e]
30 Jesus Predicts His Passion a Second Time.[f] They proceeded from there and began to journey through Galilee, but Jesus did not want anyone to know about it 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man[g] will be handed over into the power of men. They will kill him, and three days after being killed he will rise.” 32 But they did not understand what he was saying, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
33 The Greatest in the Kingdom.[h] They came to Capernaum, and once they were in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing about during the journey?” 34 But they remained silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which one of them was the greatest.
35 Then he sat down, summoned the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he must become the last of all and the servant of all.” 36 He then took a child, placed it in their midst, and put his arms around it as he said, 37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives not me but the one who sent me.”
38 Whoever Is Not against Us Is for Us. John said to him, “Teacher, we observed someone expelling demons in your name, and we forbade him because he was not one of us.”[i] 39 Jesus replied, “Do not hinder him, for no one who performs a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 Whoever is not against us is for us. 41 Amen, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will certainly not go unrewarded.
42 Woe to the World because of Scandals.[j]“If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
43 “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.[k] It is preferable for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and go into the unquenchable fire of Gehenna [ 44 where the devouring worm never dies and the fire is never quenched][l] 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into Gehenna [ 46 where the devouring worm never dies and the fire is never quenched]. 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is preferable for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be cast into Gehenna, 48 where the devouring worm never dies and the fire is never quenched.
49 The Simile of Salt.“For everyone will be salted with fire.[m] 50 Salt is good, but if salt loses its saltiness, how can you revive its flavor? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

- Mark 9:29 Other ancient manuscripts omit: “and by fasting.”
- Mark 9:30 Mark very effectively alternates the glorious and suffering aspects of the Messiah, following up the most spectacular exorcism in the Gospel with Jesus’ second prediction of his Passion. He also implies that the initiative for the death of the Servant (see Isa 53) belongs to God.
- Mark 9:31 Son of Man: see note on Mt 8:20.
- Mark 9:33 This incident and the sayings that follow it are most likely intended to be a commentary on the lack of understanding exhibited by the disciples. They are to serve the poor and lowly. Jesus used children as the symbol for the anawim, the poor in spirit, i.e., the lowly in the Christian community.
- Mark 9:38 Not one of us: though the man was not one of the Twelve, he was a believer in Jesus and acted in his name. Therefore, Jesus counsels the Twelve that they should not oppose him.
- Mark 9:42 See note on Mt 18:5-11.
- Mark 9:43 Cut it off: Jesus is here using hyperbole, a figure of speech that exaggerates to make a point. He means that sometimes sin can be overcome only by taking drastic action. Gehenna: the name, from the Hebrew Ge Hinnon, of a small valley southwest of Jerusalem; it was a popular image for hell because of the refuse that was continually burned there.
- Mark 9:44 These verses are omitted in the best manuscripts; they are repetitions of v. 48 (see Isa 66:24).
- Mark 9:49 This somewhat obscure verse was perhaps introduced because of the reference to fire in v. 48. Fire signifies the testing that precedes God’s judgment (see 1 Cor 3:13-15). Salt, a symbol of fidelity, was sprinkled on sacrificial victims so that they might be pleasing to God (Lev 2:13). When the testing is endured with fidelity, it makes the believer acceptable to God.

Mark 9
King James Version
9 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.
