馬可福音 9
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
9 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
2 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， 3 衣服放光，極其潔白，地上漂布的沒有一個能漂得那樣白。 4 忽然，有以利亞同摩西向他們顯現，並且和耶穌說話。 5 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。」 6 彼得不知道說什麼才好，因為他們甚是懼怕。 7 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！」 8 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
9 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。」

The Transfiguration
9 And Jesus was saying to them, “(A)Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God having come in power.”
2 (B)And six days later, Jesus *took with Him (C)Peter and James and John, and *brought them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; 3 and (D)His garments were shining intensely white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them along with Moses and they were conversing with Jesus. 5 And Peter answered and *said to Jesus, “(E)Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; (F)let us make three [a]booths, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified. 7 Then a cloud [b]formed, overshadowing them, and (G)a voice [c]came out of the cloud, “(H)This is My beloved Son, [d]listen to Him!” 8 And all at once when they looked around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
9 (I)And as they were coming down from the mountain, He (J)gave them orders not to recount to anyone what they had seen, [e]until the Son of Man rose from the dead. 10 And they [f]seized upon [g]that statement, arguing with one another [h]what rising from the dead meant. 11 And they began asking Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that (K)Elijah must come first?” 12 And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of (L)the Son of Man that (M)He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that Elijah has [i]indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”
I Believe, Help My Unbelief
14 (N)And when they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. 15 And immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were (O)amazed. And as they ran up, they were greeting Him. 16 And He asked them, “What are you arguing with them?” 17 And one of the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute; 18 and [j]whenever it seizes him, it [k]slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and [l]becomes rigid. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it.” 19 And He *answered them and *said, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!” 20 And they brought [m]the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around, foaming at the mouth. 21 And He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 And it has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!” 23 And Jesus said to him, “‘If You can?’ (P)All things are possible to him who believes.” 24 Immediately the boy’s father cried out and was saying, “I do believe; help my unbelief.” 25 Now when Jesus saw that (Q)a crowd was [n]rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, [o]I command you, come out of him and do not enter him [p]again.” 26 And after crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, “He is dead!” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he stood up. 28 And when He came (R)into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” 29 And He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer.”
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
30 (S)From there they went out and were going through Galilee, and He was not wanting anyone to know about it. 31 For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “(T)The Son of Man is to be [q]delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise again three days later.” 32 But (U)they [r]did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.
33 (V)And they came to Capernaum; and when He [s]was in (W)the house, He began to question them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the way (X)they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest. 35 And sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, “(Y)If anyone wants to be first, [t]he shall be last of all and servant of all.” 36 And taking a child, He set him [u]before them. And taking him in His arms, He said to them, 37 “(Z)Whoever receives [v]one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”
Warnings About Discipleship
38 (AA)John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and (AB)we tried to hinder him because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. 40 (AC)For he who is not against us is [w]for us. 41 For (AD)whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name because you are of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
42 “(AE)And whoever causes one of these [x]little ones who believe to stumble, it [y]would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he [z]had been cast into the sea. 43 (AF)And if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into [aa](AG)hell, into the (AH)unquenchable fire, 44 [ab][and where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into [ac](AI)hell, 46 [ad][and where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] 47 (AJ)And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into [ae](AK)hell, 48 (AL)where their worm does not die, and (AM)the fire is not quenched.
49 “For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good; but (AN)if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you [af]make it salty again? (AO)Have salt in yourselves, and (AP)be at peace with one another.”

Wycliffe Bible
9 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, that there be some men standing here, which shall not taste death[a], till they see the realm of God coming in virtue.
2 And after six days Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, and led them by themselves alone [and leadeth them by themselves alone] into an high hill; and he was transfigured before them.
3 And his clothes were made full shining and white as snow, which manner white clothes a fuller may not make on earth.[b]
4 And Elias with Moses appeared to them, and they spake with Jesus. [And Elias with Moses appeared to them, and they were speaking with Jesus.]
5 And Peter answered, and said to Jesus, Master it is good us to be here [it good us for to be here]; and make we here three tabernacles, one to thee, one to Moses, and one to Elias.
6 For he knew not what he should say; for they were aghast by dread. [Soothly he wist not what he should say; for they were afeared by dread.]
7 And there was made a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud, and said [saying], This is my most dear-worthy Son, hear ye him.
8 And at once [And anon] they beheld about, and saw no more any man, but Jesus only with them.
9 And when they came down from the hill, he commanded them, that they should not tell to any man those things that they had seen, but when man's Son hath risen again from death [no but when man's Son hath risen from dead].
10 And they held the word at themselves, seeking what this should be, when he had risen again from death [when he hath risen from dead].
11 And they asked him, and said [saying], What then say [the] Pharisees and [the] scribes, that it behooveth Elias to come first.
12 And he answered, and said to them, When Elias cometh, he shall first restore all things [When Elias shall come first, he shall restore all things]; and as it is written of man's Son [and how it is written of man's Son], that he suffer many things, and be despised.
13 And I say to you [But I say to you], that [also] Elias is come, and they did to him whatever things they would, as it is written of him.
14 And he coming to his disciples, saw a great company about them, and [the] scribes disputing with them [and scribes asking with them].
15 And at once [And anon] all the people seeing Jesus, was astonished, and they dreaded; and they running [to,] greeted him.
16 And he asked them, What dispute ye among you [What seek ye among you]?
17 And one of the company answered, and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, that hath a dumb spirit;
18 and where ever he taketh him, he hurtleth him down, and he foameth, and beateth together with teeth, and waxeth dry. And I said to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they might not.
19 And he answered to them, and said, A! thou generation out of belief[c], how long shall I be among you, how long shall I suffer you? Bring ye him to me.
20 And they brought him [to]. And when he had seen him, at once [anon] the spirit troubled him; and he was thrown down to the ground, and wallowed, and foamed [and he cast down into the earth, was wallowed foaming].
21 And he asked his father, How long is it, since this hath befallen to him [How much time is it, since this thing befelled to him]? And he said, From childhood;
22 and oft he hath put him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him[d]; but if thou mayest any thing, help us, and have mercy on us.
23 And Jesus said to him, If thou mayest believe, all things be possible to a man that believeth.
24 And at once [And anon] the father of the child cried with tears, and said, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 And when Jesus had seen the people running together, he menaced the unclean spirit, and said to him [saying to him], Thou deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out from him, and enter no more into him.
26 And he crying, and much wrenching him, went out from him; and he was made as dead, so that many said, that he was dead.
27 And Jesus held his hand, and lifted him up; and he rose.
28 And when he had entered into an house, his disciples asked him privily, Why might not we cast him out?
29 And he said to them, This kind in nothing may go out [This kind may not go out in any thing], but in prayer and fasting.
30 And they went from thence, and went forth into Galilee; and they would not, that any man knew [and he would not that any man know].
31 And he taught his disciples, and said to them, For man's Son shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall slay him, and he slain shall rise again on the third day.
32 And they knew not the word, and dreaded to ask him.
33 And they came to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them, What treated ye in the way?
34 And they were still; for they disputed among them[selves] in the way, who of them should be [the] greatest.
35 And he sat, and called the twelve, and said to them [and saith to them], If any man will be the first among you, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all [and minister, or servant, of all].
36 And he took a child, and set him in the middle of them [in the midst of them]; and when he had embraced him, he said to them,
37 Whoever receiveth one of such children in my name [Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name], he receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, he receiveth not me alone, but him that sent me.
38 John answered to him, and said [saying], Master, we saw one casting out fiends in thy name, which followeth not us, and we have forbidden him.
39 And Jesus said, Do not ye forbid him; for there is no man that doeth a work of power in my name [that doeth virtue in my name], and may soon speak evil of me.
40 [Forsooth] He that is not against us, is for us.
41 And whoever giveth you a cup of cold water to drink in my name [Soothly whoever shall give drink to you a cup of cold water in my name], for ye be of Christ, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his meed.
42 And whoever shall cause to stumble one of these little that believe in me, it were better to him that a millstone were done about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. [And whoever shall offend one of these little believing in me, it is good to him that a millstone of asses were done about his neck, and were sent into the sea.]
43 And if thine hand cause thee to stumble, cut it away; it is better to thee to enter feeble into life, than have two hands, and go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched,[e]
44 where the worm of them dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble [And if thy foot offend thee], cut it off; it is better to thee to enter crooked into everlasting life, than have two feet, and be sent into hell of fire, that never shall be quenched, [than having two feet to be sent into hell fire, unquenchable],
46 where the worm of them dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 That if thine eye cause thee to stumble [That if thine eye offend thee], cast it out; it is better to thee to enter goggle-eyed into the realm of God, than have two eyes, and be sent into hell of fire[f],
48 where the worm of them dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 And every man shall be salted with fire, and every slain sacrifice shall be made savoury with salt.[g]
50 Salt is good; [that] if salt be unsavoury, in what thing shall ye make it savoury? Have ye salt among you, and have ye peace among you [Have ye salt in you, and have peace among you].

Arabic Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
9 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ: إنَّ مِنْ بَيْنِ الوَاقِفِينَ هُنَا أشخَاصًا لَنْ يَذُوقُوا المَوْتَ قَبْلَ أنْ يَرَوْا مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ آتِيًا بِقُوَّةٍ.»
يَسُوعُ وَمَعَهُ مُوسَى وَإيلِيَّا
(مَتَّى 17:1-13؛ لُوقَا 9:28-36)
2 وَبَعْدَ سِتَّةِ أيَّامٍ، أخَذَ يَسُوعُ بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا إلَى جَبَلٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ وَحْدَهُمْ، وَغَيَّرَ هَيئَتَهُ أمَامَهُمْ. 3 فَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ مُشِعَّةً، وَنَاصِعَةَ البَيَاضِ. حَتَّىْ إنَّهُ لَا يُمْكِنُ لأيِّ قَصَّارٍ عَلَى الأرْضِ أنْ يُبَيِّضَ هَكَذَا! 4 وَظَهَرَ لَهُمْ إيلِيَّا مَعَ مُوسَى، وَكَانَا يَتَحَدَّثَانِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.
5 فَقَالَ بُطرُسُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَا أجمَلَ أنْ نَكُونَ هُنَا! فَلنَنصُبْ ثَلَاثَ خَيمَاتٍ، وَاحِدَةً لَكَ، وَوَاحِدَةً لِمُوسَى، وَوَاحِدَةً لإيلِيَّا.» 6 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ مَا الَّذِي يَقُولُهُ، فَقَدْ كَانُوا خَائِفِينَ.
7 ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ غَيمَةٌ وَغَطَّتْهُمْ، وَجَاءَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ الغَيمَةِ يَقُولُ: «هَذَا هُوَ ابْنِي حَبِيبِي، فَأصغُوا إلَيْهِ.»
8 وَفَجْأةً، نَظَرُوا حَولَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَرَوْا مَعَهُمْ إلَّا يَسُوعَ وَحْدَهُ.
9 وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَنْزِلُونَ مِنَ الجَبَلِ، أمَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «لَا تُخبِرُوا أحَدًا بِهَذِهِ الرُؤيَا، إلَى أنْ يُقَامَ ابْنُ الإنْسَانِ مِنَ المَوْتِ.»
10 فَحَفِظُوا الأمْرَ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَكَانُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْ مَعنَى القِيَامَةِ مِنَ المَوْتِ. 11 فَسَألُوهُ: «لِمَاذَا يَقُولُ مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ إنَّ إيلِيَّا يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَأْتِيَ أوَّلًا؟»[a]
12 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هُمْ مُصِيبُونَ بِقَولِهِمْ إنَّ إيلِيَّا يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَأتيَ أوَّلًا، فَهوَ يَرُدُّ كُلَّ شَيءٍ إلَى أصلِهِ. وَلَكِنْ كُتِبَ أيْضًا عَنِ ابْنِ الإنْسَانِ أنَّهُ سَيَتَألَّمُ كَثِيرًا وَيُرفَضُ. 13 أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ إيلِيَّا قَدْ جَاءَ، وَعَامَلُوهُ كَمَا يُرِيدُونَ، تَمَامًا كَمَا كُتِبَ عَنْهُ.»
يَسُوعُ يُحَرِّرُ صَبِيًّا مِنْ رُوحٍ شِرِّير
(مَتَّى 17:14-20؛ لُوقَا 9:37-43أ)
14 وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلُوا إلَى بَقِيَّةِ التَّلَامِيذِ، شَاهَدُوا جَمْعًا كَبِيرًا مِنَ النَّاسِ حَولَهُمْ، وَكَانَ مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ يُجَادِلُونَهُمْ. 15 وَحَالَمَا رَآهُ النَّاسُ امتَلأُوا دَهشَةً وَأسْرَعُوا لِيُسَلِّمُوا عَلَيْهِ.
16 فَسَألَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «مَا الَّذِي تَتَجَادَلُونَ فِيهِ مَعَهُمْ؟»
17 فَأجَابَهُ رَجُلٌ كَانَ هُنَاكَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، لَقَدْ أحضَرْتُ ابْنِي إلَيْكَ، لِأنَّهُ مَسكُونٌ بِرُوحٍ شِرِّيرٍ يُخرِسُهُ. 18 وَحينَ يُسَيطِرُ عَلَيْهِ، يُلْقِيهِ أرْضًا، ثُمَّ يَزبِدُ وَيَصُرُّ عَلَى أسنَانِهِ وَيَتَشَنَّجُ. وَقَدْ طَلَبْتُ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِكَ أنْ يُخرِجُوهُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا.»
19 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «أيُّهَا الجِيلُ غَيْرُ المُؤمِنِ، إلَى مَتَى أكُونُ مَعَكُمْ، إلَى مَتَى أحتَمِلُكُمْ؟» ثُمَّ قَالَ للرَجُلِ: «أحضِرِ ابنَكَ إلَيَّ.»
20 فَأحْضَرُوا الصَّبِيِّ إلَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا رَأى الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيرُ يَسُوعَ، أدخَلَ الصَّبِيَّ فِي نَوبَةِ تَشَنُّجَاتٍ، وَألقَاهُ أرْضًا. فَكَانَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَقَلَّبُ وَيُزْبِدُ.
21 فَسَألَ يَسُوعُ وَالِدَ الصَّبِيِّ: «مُنْذُ مَتَى وَهُوَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الحَالِ؟» فَأجَابَ: «مُنْذُ طُفُولَتِهِ. 22 وَكَثِيرًا مَا كَانَ هَذَا الرُّوحُ يُلقِيهِ فِي النَّارِ أوْ فِي المَاءِ لِيَقْتُلَهُ. فَإنْ كُنْتَ تَسْتَطِيعُ أنْ تَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا، فَارحَمْ حَالَنَا وَسَاعِدْنَا.»
23 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِمَاذَا تَقُولُ: ‹إنْ كُنْتُ أستَطِيعُ›؟ فَكُلُّ شَيءٍ مُسْتَطَاعٌ لِمَنْ يُؤمِنُ.» 24 فَصَرَخَ وَالِدُ الصَّبِيِّ وَقَالَ: «أنَا أُومِنُ، فَسَاعِدْنِي لِكَي يَقَوَى إيمَانِيَ الضَّعيفُ.»
25 وَلَمَّا رَأى يَسُوعُ أنَّ أعدَادَ النَّاسِ تَتَكَاثَرُ، انتَهَرَ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا أيُّهَا الرُّوحُ الَّذِي أخرَسَتَ هَذَا الصَّبِيَّ وَأغلَقْتَ أُذُنَيهِ، أنَا آمُرُكَ بِأنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْهُ، وَلَا تَرْجِعَ إلَيْهِ ثَانِيَةً.»
26 فَصَرَخَ الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيرُ وَأدخَلَ الصَّبِيَّ فِي نَوبَةٍ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ. فَصَارَ الصَّبِيُّ كَأنَّهُ مَيِّتٌ، حَتَّى إنَّ كَثِيرِينَ قَالُوا إنَّهُ مَاتَ. 27 أمَّا يَسُوعُ فَأمسَكَ بِيَدِهِ وَأنهَضَهُ، فَوَقَفَ الصَّبِيُّ.
28 وَبَعْدَ أنْ دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى البَيْتِ، سَألَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ عَلَى انفِرَادٍ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ نَسْتَطِعْ نَحْنُ إخرَاجَهُ؟»
29 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا النَّوعُ لَا يَخْرُجُ إلَّا بِالصَّلَاةِ.»
يَسُوعُ يُنبِئُ بِمَوْتِهِ
(مَتَّى 17:22-23؛ لُوقَا 9:43ب-45)
30 وَانطَلَقُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَابْتَدَأُوا رِحلَتَهُمْ عَبْرَ إقْلِيمِ الجَلِيلِ. وَلَمْ يُرِدْ يَسُوعُ أنْ يَعْرِفَ أحَدٌ مَكَانَهُ، 31 بَلْ أرَادَ أنْ يَكُونَ مَعَ تَلَامِيذَهُ لِيُعَلِّمَهُمْ. فَكَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «سَيُوضَعُ ابْنُ الإنْسَانِ تَحْتَ سُلطَانِ البَشَرِ. وَسَيَقْتُلُونَهُ. وَلَكِنَّهُ، بَعْدَ أنْ يُقتَلَ، سَيَقُومُ فِي اليَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مِنَ المَوْتِ.» 32 لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا كَلَامَهُ. وَخَافُوا أنْ يَسألُوهُ عَنْ مَعنَاهُ.
مَنِ الأعْظَم
(مَتَّى 18:1-5؛ لُوقَا 9:46-48)
33 وَبَعْدَ هَذَا جَاءُوا إلَى كَفْرِنَاحُومَ. فَلَمَّا اجتَمَعُوا فِي البَيْتِ، سَألَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «عَمَّا كُنْتُمْ تَتَجَادَلُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.» 34 فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ التَّلَامِيذُ بِشَيءٍ، لِأنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَتَجَادَلُونَ حَوْلَ مَنْ هُوَ الأعْظَمُ بَيْنَهُمْ.
35 فَجَلَسَ يَسُوعُ، وَدَعَا الِاثنَيْ عَشَرَ إلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ أرَادَ مِنْكُمْ أنْ يَكُونَ الأوَّلَ، فَيَنْبَغِي أنْ يَكُونَ آخِرَ الكُلِّ، وَخَادِمَ الكُلِّ.» 36 ثُمَّ دَعَا يَسُوعُ طِفْلًا، وَأوقَفَهُ أمَامَهُمْ وَاحتَضَنَهُ وَقَالَ: 37 «مَنْ يَقْبَلُ طِفْلًا كَهَذَا بِاسْمِي فَإنَّمَا يَقْبَلُنِي، وَمَنْ يَقْبَلُنِي فَإنَّمَا يَقْبَلُ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي أيْضًا.»
مَنْ لَيْسَ ضِدَّنَا فَهُوَ مَعَنَا
(لُوقَا 9:49-50)
38 وَقَالَ لَهُ يُوحَنَّا: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، رَأينَا رَجُلًا يَطْرُدُ الأروَاحَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ بِاسْمِكَ، فَحَاوَلْنَا أنْ نَمنَعَهُ لِأنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَّا.»
39 فَقَالَ يَسُوعَ: «لَا تَمْنَعوهُ. فَمَنْ يَصْنَعُ مُعجِزَةً بِاسْمِي، لَا يُمْكِنُهُ أنْ يُسيئَ إلَيَّ بِهَذِهِ السُّرعَةِ. 40 لِأنَّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ ضِدَّنَا هُوَ مَعَنَا. 41 أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنَّ مَنْ يَسْقِيكُمْ كَأسَ مَاءٍ لِأنَّكُمْ لِلمَسِيحِ، فَلَنْ يُحرَمَ مِنْ مُكَافَأتِهِ.»
تَحذيرٌ مِنَ العَثَرَات
(مَتَّى 18:6-9؛ لُوقَا 17:1-2)
42 «أمَّا مَنْ يُعثِرُ أحَدَ هَؤُلَاءِ الصِّغَارِ المُؤْمِنِينَ بِي، فَسَيَكُونُ أفْضَلَ لَهُ لَوْ أنَّ حَجَرَ رَحَىً وُضِعَ حَوْلَ رَقَبَتِهِ، وَأُلقِيَ بِهِ فِي البَحْرِ. 43 فَإنْ كَانَتْ يَدُكَ تَدْفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، اقْطَعْهَا. لِأنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ أنْ تَدْخُلَ الحَيَاةَ بِيَدٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، مِنْ أنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ يَدَانِ اثْنَتَانِ، وَتَدْخُلَ جَهَنَّمَ، حَيْثُ لَا تُطْفَأُ النَّارُ. 44 بَلْ حَيْثُ الدُّودُ لَا يَمُوتُ، وَالنَّارُ لَا تُطفَأُ. 45 وَإنْ كَانَتْ قَدَمُكَ تَدْفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، اقطَعْهَا. لِأنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ أنْ تَدْخُلَ الحَيَاةَ بِقَدَمٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، مِنْ أنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ قَدَمَانِ اثْنَتَانِ، وَتُطْرَحَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، 46 حَيْثُ الدُّودُ لَا يَمُوتُ، وَالنَّارُ لَا تُطفَأُ. 47 وَإنْ كَانَتْ عَينُكَ تَدْفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، فَاقلَعْهَا. لِأنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ أنْ تَدْخُلَ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ بِعَينٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، مِنْ أنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ عَينَانِ اثْنَتَانِ، وَتُطْرَحَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، 48 حَيْثُ الدُّودُ لَا يَمُوتُ، وَالنَّارُ لَا تُطفَأُ.
49 «لِأنَّ كُلَّ إنْسَانٍ سَيُمَلَّحُ بِالنَّارِ.[b] 50 لِأنَّ المِلْحَ جَيِّدٌ. فَإنْ فَقَدَ المِلْحُ مُلُوحَتَهُ، بِمَاذَا تُصلِحُونَهُ؟ فَلْيَكُنْ لَكُمْ فِي نُفوسِكُمْ مِلْحٌ، وَعِيشُوا فِي سَلَامٍ بَعْضُكُمْ مَعَ بَعْضٍ.»
Footnotes
- 9:11 إيليَا … أولًا إيليَّا كَانَ أحدَ أنْبِيَاءِ اللهِ نحو سنةِ 850 قَبْلَ الميلَاد. وكَانَ اليهودُ يتوقَّعونَ مَجيئَهُ بنَاءً عَلَى ملَاخي 4:5-6.
- 9:49 يُمَلّح بِالنَّار فِي العَهْد القديم، كَانَ الملح يوضع عَلَى بَعْض الذبَائح. وربمَا يكون المقصود هُنَا أنّ من يتبع المسيح سيُجَرَّب بِالمعَانَاة وَالمشَاكل، لذلك يَنْبَغِي أنْ يقدّمَ نَفْسه ذبيحة للهِ.
