耶穌又對他們說:「我實在告訴你們:站在這裡的,有人在沒嘗死味以前,必要看見神的國大有能力臨到。」

改變形象

過了六天,耶穌帶著彼得雅各約翰暗暗地上了高山,就在他們面前變了形象, 衣服放光,極其潔白,地上漂布的沒有一個能漂得那樣白。 忽然,有以利亞摩西向他們顯現,並且和耶穌說話。 彼得對耶穌說:「拉比[a],我們在這裡真好!可以搭三座棚:一座為你,一座為摩西,一座為以利亞。」 彼得不知道說什麼才好,因為他們甚是懼怕。 有一朵雲彩來遮蓋他們,也有聲音從雲彩裡出來說:「這是我的愛子,你們要聽他!」 門徒忽然周圍一看,不再見一人,只見耶穌同他們在那裡。

以約翰譬以利亞

下山的時候,耶穌囑咐他們說:「人子還沒有從死裡復活,你們不要將所看見的告訴人。」 10 門徒將這話存記在心,彼此議論從死裡復活是什麼意思。 11 他們就問耶穌說:「文士為什麼說以利亞必須先來?」 12 耶穌說:以利亞固然先來復興萬事。經上不是指著人子說,他要受許多的苦、被人輕慢呢? 13 我告訴你們:以利亞已經來了,他們也任意待他,正如經上所指著他的話。」

害癲癇病的孩子

14 耶穌到了門徒那裡,看見有許多人圍著他們,又有文士和他們辯論。 15 眾人一見耶穌,都甚稀奇,就跑上去問他的安。 16 耶穌問他們說:「你們和他們辯論的是什麼?」 17 眾人中間有一個人回答說:「夫子,我帶了我的兒子到你這裡來,他被啞巴鬼附著。 18 無論在哪裡,鬼捉弄他,把他摔倒,他就口中流沫,咬牙切齒,身體枯乾。我請過你的門徒把鬼趕出去,他們卻是不能。」 19 耶穌說:「唉!不信的世代啊,我在你們這裡要到幾時呢?我忍耐你們要到幾時呢?把他帶到我這裡來吧!」 20 他們就帶了他來。他一見耶穌,鬼便叫他重重地抽風,倒在地上翻來覆去,口中流沫。 21 耶穌問他父親說:「他得這病有多少日子呢?」回答說:「從小的時候。 22 鬼屢次把他扔在火裡、水裡,要滅他。你若能做什麼,求你憐憫我們,幫助我們!」

在信的人凡事都能

23 耶穌對他說:「你若能信,在信的人,凡事都能。」 24 孩子的父親立時喊著說[b]:「我信!但我信不足,求主幫助!」 25 耶穌看見眾人都跑上來,就斥責那汙鬼,說:「你這聾啞的鬼,我吩咐你從他裡頭出來,再不要進去!」 26 那鬼喊叫,使孩子大大地抽了一陣風,就出來了。孩子好像死了一般,以致眾人多半說:「他是死了。」 27 但耶穌拉著他的手,扶他起來,他就站起來了。 28 耶穌進了屋子,門徒就暗暗地問他說:「我們為什麼不能趕出他去呢?」 29 耶穌說:「非用禱告[c],這一類的鬼總不能出來[d]。」

預言受難

30 他們離開那地方,經過加利利,耶穌不願意人知道。 31 於是教訓門徒,說:「人子將要被交在人手裡,他們要殺害他,被殺以後過三天他要復活。」 32 門徒卻不明白這話,又不敢問他。

爭論誰為大

33 他們來到迦百農,耶穌在屋裡問門徒說:「你們在路上議論的是什麼?」 34 門徒不作聲,因為他們在路上彼此爭論誰為大。 35 耶穌坐下,叫十二個門徒來,說:「若有人願意做首先的,他必做眾人末後的,做眾人的用人。」 36 於是領過一個小孩子來,叫他站在門徒中間,又抱起他來,對他們說: 37 「凡為我名接待一個像這小孩子的,就是接待我;凡接待我的,不是接待我,乃是接待那差我來的。」

奉主名的不易謗主

38 約翰對耶穌說:「夫子,我們看見一個人奉你的名趕鬼,我們就禁止他,因為他不跟從我們。」 39 耶穌說:「不要禁止他,因為沒有人奉我名行異能,反倒輕易毀謗我。 40 不敵擋我們的,就是幫助我們的。 41 凡因你們是屬基督,給你們一杯水喝的,我實在告訴你們:他不能不得賞賜。 42 凡使這信我的一個小子跌倒的,倒不如把大磨石拴在這人的頸項上,扔在海裡。 43 倘若你一隻手叫你跌倒,就把它砍下來! 44 你缺了肢體進入永生,強如有兩隻手落到地獄,入那不滅的火裡去。 45 倘若你一隻腳叫你跌倒,就把它砍下來! 46 你瘸腿進入永生,強如有兩隻腳被丟在地獄裡。 47 倘若你一隻眼叫你跌倒,就去掉它!你只有一隻眼進入神的國,強如有兩隻眼被丟在地獄裡。 48 在那裡,蟲是不死的,火是不滅的。 49 因為必用火當鹽醃各人[e] 50 鹽本是好的,若失了味,可用什麼叫它再鹹呢?你們裡頭應當有鹽,彼此和睦。」

Poi disse loro: «In verità vi dico che vi sono alcuni qui presenti che non gusteranno la morte, senza aver visto il regno di Dio venire con potenza».

Sei giorni dopo Gesú prese con sé Pietro, Giacomo e Giovanni e li condusse in disparte, essi soli, sopra un alto monte; e fu trasfigurato davanti a loro.

E le sue vesti divennero risplendenti e bianchissime, come neve, piú bianche di ciò che potrebbe fare alcun lavandaio sulla terra.

Ed apparve loro Elia con Mosè, i quali conversavano con Gesú.

Pietro allora, prendendo la parola, disse a Gesú: «Maestro, è bene per noi stare qui; facciamo dunque tre tende: una per te, una per Mosè e una per Elia!».

Egli infatti non sapeva che cosa dire, perché erano spaventati.

Venne poi una nuvola che li adombrò; e dalla nuvola uscí una voce che disse: «Questi è il mio amato Figlio; ascoltatelo!».

Ed improvvisamente, guardandosi attorno, non videro piú nessuno, se non Gesú tutto solo con loro.

Ora, come scendevano dal monte Gesú ordinò loro di non raccontare ad alcuno le cose che avevano visto, fino a quando il Figlio dell'uomo sarebbe risuscitato dai morti.

10 Ed essi tennero per sé quella dichiarazione e discutevano fra di loro che cosa significasse risuscitare dai morti

11 Poi lo interrogarono, dicendo: «Perche gli scribi dicono che prima deve venire Elia?».

12 Ed egli, rispondendo, disse loro: «Elia veramente deve venire prima e ristabilire ogni cosa; ma come sta scritto del Figlio dell'uomo: Egli dovrà soffrire molte cose ed essere disprezzato.

13 Ma io vi dico che Elia è venuto e gli hanno fatto tutto quello che hanno voluto, come era scritto di lui».

14 Ritornato poi dai discepoli, vide una grande folla intorno a loro e degli scribi, che disputavano con loro.

15 E subito tutta la folla, vedutolo, sbigottí e accorse a salutarlo.

16 Allora egli domandò agli scribi: «Di che cosa discutete con loro?».

17 Ed uno della folla, rispondendo, disse: «Maestro, ti avevo condotto mio figlio che ha uno spirito muto,

18 e dovunque lo afferra, lo strazia ed egli schiuma, digrigna i denti e si irrigidisce. Cosí ho detto ai tuoi discepoli di scacciarlo, ma non hanno potuto».

19 Ed egli, rispondendogli, disse: «O generazione incredula, fino a quando sarò con voi? Fino a quando vi sopporterò? portatelo da me».

20 Ed essi glielo portarono. Ma appena lo vide, lo spirito lo scosse con violenza, e il fanciullo, caduto a terra, si rotolava schiumando.

21 E Gesú domandò al padre di lui: «Da quanto tempo gli accade questo?». Ed egli disse: «Dalla sua fanciullezza.

22 E spesso lo ha gettato nel fuoco e nell'acqua per distruggerlo ma, se tu puoi qualcosa, abbi pietà di noi e aiutaci».

23 E Gesú gli disse: «Se tu puoi credere, ogni cosa è possibile a chi crede».

24 Subito il padre del fanciullo, gridando con lacrime, disse: «Io credo Signore, sovvieni alla mia incredulità».

25 Allora Gesú, vedendo accorrere la folla, sgridò lo spirito immondo dicendogli: «Spirito muto e sordo, io te lo comando, esci da lui e non entrare mai piú in lui».

26 E il demone, gridando e straziandolo grandemente, se ne uscí. E il fanciullo divenne come morto, sicché molti dicevano: «E' morto».

27 Ma Gesú, presolo per mano, lo sollevò, ed egli si alzò in piedi.

28 Or quando Gesú fu entrato in casa, i suoi discepoli lo interrogarono in privato: «Perché non abbiamo noi potuto scacciarlo?».

29 Ed egli disse loro: «Questa specie di spiriti non si può scacciare in altro modo, se non con la preghiera e il digiuno».

30 Poi, partiti di là, attraversarono la Galilea; ed egli non voleva che alcuno lo sapesse.

31 Egli infatti ammaestrava i suoi discepoli e diceva loro: «Il Figlio dell'uomo sarà presto dato nelle mani degli uomini ed essi lo uccideranno; ma dopo essere stato ucciso, risusciterà il terzo giorno»

32 Essi però non comprendevano questo parlare e avevano timore di interrogarlo.

33 Giunsero poi a Capernaum, e quando fu in casa, domandò loro: «Di che discutevate fra di voi per la strada?».

34 Ed essi tacquero, perché per via avevano discusso intorno a chi fra di loro fosse il piú grande.

35 Allora, postosi a sedere, egli chiamò i dodici, e disse loro: «Se alcuno vuol essere il primo, sia l'ultimo di tutti e il servo di tutti».

36 E preso un bambino, lo pose in mezzo a loro; poi, presolo in braccio, disse loro:

37 «Chiunque riceve uno di questi bambini nel mio nome, riceve me; e chiunque riceve me, non riceve me, ma colui che mi ha mandato».

38 Allora Giovanni, prendendo la parola, gli disse: «Maestro, noi abbiamo visto un tale che non ci segue scacciare demoni nel tuo nome e glielo abbiamo proibito, perché non ci segue».

39 Ma Gesú disse: «Non glielo proibite, perché nessuno può fare un'opera potente nel nome mio, e subito dopo dire male di me.

40 Poiché chi non è contro di noi, è per noi.

41 Chiunque infatti vi dà da bere un bicchiere d'acqua nel nome mio, perché siete di Cristo, io vi dico in verità che non perderà affatto la sua ricompensa».

42 «E chiunque scandalizzerà uno di questi piccoli che credono in me, sarebbe meglio per lui che gli fosse legata intorno al collo una pietra da mulino e che fosse gettato in mare.

43 Ora, se la tua mano ti è occasione di peccato, tagliala; è meglio per te entrare monco nella vita, che avere due mani e andare nella Geenna, nel fuoco inestinguibile,

44 dove il loro verme non muore e il fuoco non si spegne.

45 E se il tuo piede ti è occasione di peccato, taglialo, è meglio per te entrare zoppo nella vita, che avere due piedi ed essere gettato nella Geenna, nel fuoco inestinguibile,

46 dove il loro verme non muore e il fuoco non si spegne.

47 E se l'occhio tuo ti è occasione di peccato, cavalo; è meglio per te entrare con un occhio solo nella vita, che averne due ed essere gettato nella Geenna del fuoco,

48 dove il loro verme non muore e il fuoco non si spegne.

49 Poiché ognuno deve essere salato col fuoco, e ogni sacrificio deve essere salato col sale.

50 Il sale è buono, ma se il sale diviene insipido, con che cosa gli darete sapore? Abbiate del sale in voi stessi e state in pace gli uni con gli altri».

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)

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. His clothes became dazzling white,(F) whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

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.” (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)

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)

Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

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

“‘the worms that eat them do not die,
    and the fire is not quenched.’[d](AT)

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)

The Transfiguration of Christ(A)

And He said to them, (B)“Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see (C)the kingdom of God [a]present with power.”

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

(D)Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His clothes became shining, exceedingly (E)white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

And a (F)cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is (G)My beloved Son. (H)Hear Him!” Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

(I)Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning (J)what the rising from the dead meant.

11 And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say (K)that Elijah must come first?”

12 Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And (L)how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and (M)be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that (N)Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”

A Boy Is Healed(O)

14 (P)And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them. 15 Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. 16 And He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”

17 Then (Q)one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”

19 He answered him and said, “O (R)faithless[b] generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I [c]bear with you? Bring him to Me.” 20 Then they brought him to Him. And (S)when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?”

And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23 Jesus said to him, (T)“If[d] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; (U)help my unbelief!”

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He (V)rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

28 (W)And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”

29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but (X)prayer [e]and fasting.”

Jesus Again Predicts His Death and Resurrection

30 Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it. 31 (Y)For He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will (Z)kill Him. And after He is killed, He will (AA)rise the third day.” 32 But they (AB)did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

Who Is the Greatest?(AC)

33 (AD)Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you [f]disputed among yourselves on the road?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the road they had (AE)disputed among themselves who would be the (AF)greatest. 35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, (AG)“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” 36 Then (AH)He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and (AI)whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Forbids Sectarianism(AJ)

38 (AK)Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, (AL)for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40 For (AM)he who is not against [g]us is on [h]our side. 41 (AN)For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.

Jesus Warns of Offenses(AO)

42 (AP)“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me [i]to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. 43 (AQ)If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life [j]maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to [k]hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— 44 [l]where

(AR)‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into [m]hell, [n]into the fire that shall never be quenched— 46 where

(AS)‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into [o]hell fire— 48 where

(AT)‘Their worm does not die
And the (AU)fire is not quenched.’

Tasteless Salt Is Worthless

49 “For everyone will be (AV)seasoned with fire, (AW)and[p] every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. 50 (AX)Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? (AY)Have salt in yourselves, and (AZ)have peace with one another.”
