马可福音 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
9 耶稣继续说：“我实在告诉你们，有些站在这里的人会在有生之年看见上帝的国带着能力降临。”
登山变象
2 六天后，耶稣带着彼得、雅各和约翰暗暗地登上一座高山。耶稣在他们面前改变了形象， 3 衣服变得洁白放光，世上找不到漂得那么白的布。 4 这时，以利亚和摩西在他们眼前出现，与耶稣谈话。 5 彼得对耶稣说：“老师，我们在这里真好！我们搭三座帐篷吧，一座给你，一座给摩西，一座给以利亚。”
6 其实彼得当时不知说什么才好，因为他们都很害怕。 7 就在这时候，有一朵云彩飘来遮住他们，云彩中有声音说：“这是我的爱子，你们要听从祂。” 8 门徒立刻四处观看，发现没有其他人，只有耶稣和他们在那里。
9 下山的时候，耶稣叮嘱他们在人子还没有从死里复活之前，不要把刚才看见的告诉别人。
10 门徒把这话谨记在心，彼此议论“从死里复活”这句话的意思。 11 他们问耶稣：“律法教师为什么说以利亚必须先来？”
12 耶稣回答说：“以利亚固然要先来复兴一切，但为什么圣经上说人子一定会饱受痛苦、遭人蔑视呢？ 13 其实我告诉你们，以利亚已经来了，人们却任意对待他，正如圣经的记载。”
治好污鬼附身的孩子
14 他们与其他门徒会合时，看见一大群人围住门徒，几个律法教师正在跟他们辩论。 15 大家一看到耶稣，都十分惊奇，立刻跑上去迎接祂。 16 耶稣问门徒：“你们跟他们辩论什么？”
17 人群中有一个人说：“老师，我带了我的儿子来找你，因为他被哑巴鬼附身。 18 每次鬼控制他，把他摔在地上，他就口吐白沫，咬牙切齿，全身僵硬。我请你的门徒赶走那鬼，他们却办不到。”
19 耶稣说：“唉，这不信的世代啊！我要跟你们在一起待多久，容忍你们多久呢？把他带到我这里吧。”
20 他们把那孩子带到耶稣面前。那鬼一见耶稣，就使孩子抽搐，倒在地上打滚，口吐白沫。 21 耶稣问孩子的父亲：“他这样子多久了？”孩子的父亲回答道：“他从小就这样， 22 鬼常常将他扔进火里或水里，要害他的命。如果你能，求你怜悯我们，帮助我们吧！”
23 耶稣说：“如果你能？对于相信的人，凡事都有可能！”
24 孩子的父亲立刻喊着说：“我信！但我信心不足，求你帮助我！”
25 耶稣看见人群都跑了过来，就斥责那污鬼：“你这个聋哑鬼，我命令你从他身上出来，不许再进去！”
26 那鬼发出喊叫，使孩子剧烈地抽搐了一阵，就出来了。孩子躺在地上一动也不动，大家都以为他死了。 27 但耶稣拉着他的手扶他起来，他就站了起来。
28 耶稣进屋后，门徒悄悄问祂：“我们为什么赶不走那鬼呢？”
29 耶稣说：“要赶走这类鬼只有靠祷告[a]。”
再次预言受难
30 他们离开那里，途经加利利。耶稣不想任何人知道祂的行踪， 31 因为祂在教导门徒。祂说：“人子将被交在人的手中，被他们杀害，但三天之后，祂必复活。” 32 门徒却不明白这句话的意思，又不敢问祂。
谁最伟大
33 他们回到迦百农的住所，耶稣问门徒：“你们一路上争论些什么？”
34 他们都沉默不语，因为刚才他们在争论谁最伟大。 35 耶稣坐下，叫十二个门徒过来，对他们说：“谁想为首，就该在众人中做最小的，做众人的仆人。” 36 祂领了一个小孩子来，叫他站在门徒中间，又抱起他，对他们说： 37 “任何人为我的缘故接待这样一个小孩子，就是接待我；凡接待我的，不单是接待我，也是接待差我来的那位。”
警戒犯罪
38 约翰对耶稣说：“老师，我们看见有人奉你的名赶鬼，就阻止他，因为他不是跟从我们的。”
39 耶稣说：“不要阻止他，因为没有人奉我的名行过神迹后，会很快毁谤我。 40 不反对我们的，就是支持我们的。 41 我实在告诉你们，若有人因为你们属于基督而给你们一杯水喝，他也必得到赏赐。
42 “但若有人使这样一个小信徒失足犯罪，他的下场比把大磨石挂在他脖子上扔到海里还要惨。 43 如果你一只手使你犯罪，就砍掉它！ 44 拖着残废的身体进入永生，胜过双手健全却落入地狱不灭的火中。 45 倘若你一只脚使你犯罪，就砍掉它！瘸着腿进入永生， 46 胜过双脚健全却被丢进地狱！ 47 如果你的一只眼睛使你犯罪，就剜掉它！独眼进上帝的国，胜过双目健全却被丢进地狱。 48 在那里，
“‘虫是不死的，
火是不灭的。’
49 “每个人都要被火炼，像被盐腌一样。 50 盐是好东西，但如果失去咸味，怎能使它再咸呢？你们里面要有盐，要彼此和睦。”

Agano Jipya: Tafsiri ya Kusoma-Kwa-Urahisi
Marko 9
Agano Jipya: Tafsiri ya Kusoma-Kwa-Urahisi
9 Naye Yesu aliwaambia, “Ninawaambia Ukweli: baadhi yenu mnaosimama hapa mtauona ufalme wa Mungu ukija kwa nguvu kabla ya kufa kwenu.”
Yesu Aonekana Akiwa na Musa na Eliya
(Mt 17:1-13; Lk 9:28-36)
2 Baada ya siku sita, Yesu akamchukua Petro, Yakobo na Yohana na kuwaongoza hadi mlima mrefu wakiwa peke yao tu. Na mwonekano wa Yesu ulibadilika mbele yao. Huko Yesu akabadilika sura nyingine akiwa mbele yao. 3 Mavazi yake yakiwa na mng'ao, na meupe kabisa kuliko mtu anavyoweza kufua nguo kwa sabuni na kuitakatisha. 4 Huko Eliya na Musa pia wakawatokea, na Yesu alizungumza na manabii hao wawili.
5 Petro akafungua kinywa chake na kumwambia Yesu, “Mwalimu, ni vyema tupo hapa. Tufanye basi vibanda vitatu; moja kwa ajili yako, moja kwa ajili ya Musa na moja kwa ajili ya Eliya.” 6 Petro aliyasema haya kwa sababu hakujua aseme nini, kwa sababu yeye na wenzake walikuwa wamepata hofu.
7 Ndipo wingu likaja na kuwafunika wote kwa kivuli chake. Na sauti ikatoka mawinguni, ikisema, “Huyu ni mwanangu mpendwa. Msikilizeni yeye.”
8 Ndipo ghafula walipokuwa wakiangalia huku na huko, hawakuona mtu yeyote akiwa pamoja nao isipokuwa Yesu peke yake.
9 Walipokuwa wakishuka kutoka mlimani, Yesu akawaamuru wasimwambie mtu yeyote kile walichokiona mpaka Mwana wa Adamu atakapofufuliwa kutoka katika wafu.
10 Hivyo hawakuwaeleza wengine juu ya jambo lile bali walijadiliana miongoni mwao wenyewe juu ya maana ya “kufufuka kutoka kwa wafu.” 11 Wakamwuliza Yesu, “kwa nini walimu wa sheria wanasema Eliya lazima aje kwanza?”
12 Yesu akawaambia, “Ndiyo, Eliya atakuja kwanza[a] kuja kuyaweka mambo yote sawa kama jinsi yalivyokuwa hapo mwanzo. Lakini kwa nini imeandikwa juu ya Mwana wa Adamu[b] ya kwamba itampasa kuteswa na kudhalilishwa? 13 Lakini ninawaambia, Eliya amekuja,[c] na walimtendea kila kitu walichotaka, kama vile ilivyoandikwa[d] kuhusu yeye.”
Yesu Amweka Huru Mvulana Kutoka Pepo Mchafu
(Mt 17:14-20; Lk 9:37-43a)
14 Wakati Yesu, Petro, Yakobo, na Yohana walipowafikia wanafunzi wengine, waliliona kundi kubwa la watu lililowazunguka na wakawaona walimu wa Sheria wakibishana nao. 15 Mara tu watu wote walipomwona Yesu, walishangazwa, na wakakimbia kwenda kumsalimia.
16 Akawauliza, “Mnabishana nao kitu gani?”
17 Na mtu mmoja kundini alimjibu, “Mwalimu, nilimleta mwanangu kwako ili umponye. Yeye amefungwa na pepo mbaya anayemfanya asiweze kuzungumza. 18 Na kila mara anapomshambulia humtupa chini ardhini. Naye hutokwa mapovu mdomoni na kusaga meno yake, huku akiwa mkakamavu. Nami niliwaomba wanafunzi wako wamfukuze kutoka ndani yake, lakini hawakuweza.”
19 Kisha Yesu akajibu na kuwaambia, “ninyi kizazi kisichoamini, kwa muda gani niwe pamoja nanyi? Kwa muda gani nitapaswa kuchukuliana nanyi? Mleteni huyo mvulana kwangu.”
20 Wakamleta yule mvulana kwake. Na yule pepo alipomwona Yesu, kwa ghafula akamtingisha yule mvulana ambaye alianguka chini kwenye udongo, akivingirika na kutokwa povu mdomoni.
21 Yesu akamwuliza babaye, “Kwa muda gani amekuwa katika hali hii?”
Yule babaye akajibu akisema, “amekuwa katika hali hii tangu utoto. 22 Mara nyingi anamtupa katika moto ama katika maji ili kumwua. Lakini ikiwa unaweza kufanya kitu chochote, uwe na huruma na utusaidie.”
23 Yesu akamwambia, “Una maana gani kusema ‘ikiwa unaweza’? Kila kitu kinawezekana kwake yeye anayeamini.”
24 Mara, babaye yule mvulana alilia kwa sauti kubwa na kusema, “Naamini! Nisaidie kutokuamini kwangu.”
25 Yesu alipoona lile kundi likizidi kuwa kubwa, alimkemea yule pepo mchafu na kumwambia, “Wewe pepo uliyemfanya mvulana huyu asiweze kusikia na asiweze kusema, nakuamuru, utoke ndani yake, na usimwingie tena!”
26 Na pepo yule alilia kwa sauti, akamtupa yule mvulana chini katika mishituko ya kutisha, kisha akatoka, naye akawa kama mtu aliyekufa, kiasi kwamba watu wengi wakadhani ya kuwa amekufa. 27 Lakini Yesu akamshika yule mvulana mikononi, na kumwinua naye akasimama.
28 Baada ya Yesu kuingia nyumbani, wanafunzi wake walimwuuliza wakiwa peke yao, “Kwa nini sisi hatukuweza kumfukuza pepo yule?”
29 Naye akawaambia, “Aina hii haiwezi kutoka isipokuwa kwa maombi.”[e]
Yesu Azungumza Kuhusu Kifo Chake
(Mt 17:22-23; Lk 9:43-45)
30 Wakaondoka mahali pale na kusafiri kupitia Galilaya. Yesu hakutaka mtu yeyote kujua walikuwa huko, 31 alitaka kuwafundisha wanafunzi wake peke yake. Na Yesu akawaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu atasalitiwa na kuwekwa mikononi mwa watu wengine, nao watamwua. Kisha siku tatu baada ya kuuawa atafufuka.” 32 Lakini hawakuuelewa usemi huu, na walikuwa wanaogopa kumuuliza zaidi.
Nani ni Mkuu Zaidi?
(Mt 18:1-5; Lk 9:46-48)
33 Kisha wakaja Kapernaumu. Na Yesu alipokuwa ndani ya nyumba aliwauliza, “Je, mlikuwa mnajidiliana nini njiani?” 34 Lakini wao walinyamaza kimya, kwa sababu njiani walikuwa wamebishana juu ya nani kati yao alikuwa ni mkuu zaidi.
35 Hivyo Yesu aliketi chini, akawaita wale kumi na mbili, na akawaambia, “Ikiwa yupo mtu yeyote anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza, inapasa basi awe wa mwisho kuliko wote na mtumishi wa wote.”
36 Akamchukua mtoto mdogo mikononi mwake na kumsimamisha mbele yao. Akimkumbatia mtoto huyo, Yesu alisema, 37 “Yeyote atakayemkaribisha mtoto mdogo kama huyu hapa kwa sababu ya jina langu basi ananikaribisha na mimi pia. Yeyote anayenikubali mimi hanikubali mimi tu bali anamkubali pia yeye aliyenituma.”
Yeyote Ambaye Hayuko Kinyume Chetu Yuko Pamoja Nasi
(Lk 9:49-50)
38 Yohana akamwambia Yesu, “Mwalimu tulimwona mtu akifukuza pepo kwa jina lako. Nasi tulijaribu kumzuia, kwa sababu hakuwa mmoja wetu.”
39 Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Msimzuie, kwa sababu hakuna atendaye miujiza kwa jina langu kisha mara baada ya hilo aseme maneno mabaya juu yangu. 40 Yeye ambaye hapingani na sisi basi yuko pamoja na sisi. 41 Yeyote anayewapa ninyi kikombe cha maji kwa sababu ninyi ni wake Kristo.[f] Hakika ninawaambia ukweli kwamba, hatapoteza thawabu yake.
Yesu Aonya Kuhusu Chanzo cha Dhambi
(Mt 18:6-9; Lk 17:1-2)
42 Yeyote anayemsababisha mmoja wa hawa walio wadogo ambao wananiamini mimi kujikwaa na kuanguka, itakuwa bora kwake ikiwa atatupwa baharini huku amefungwa jiwe la kusagia shingoni mwake. 43 Ikiwa mkono wako unakusababisha ufanye dhambi, ukate. Ni bora kwako kuingia katika uzima wa milele ukiwa na mkono mmoja kuliko kuwa na mikono miwili na kuenda Jehanamu, ambako kuna moto usiozimika. 44 [g] 45 Na ikiwa mguu wako utakusababisha ufanye dhambi, ukate. Ni bora kwako kuingia katika uzima wa milele ukiwa mlemavu kuliko kuwa na miguu miwili na kutupwa Jehanamu. 46 [h] 47 Na kama jicho lako litakusababisha ufanye dhambi, liondoe. Ni bora uingie katika Ufalme wa Mungu ukiwa na jicho moja kuliko kuwa nayo macho mawili na kutupwa Jehanamu, 48 ambapo waliomo watatafunwa na funza wasiokufa na kuchomwa na moto usiozimika kamwe.(A)
49 Kwa kuwa kila mmoja atatiwa chumvi kwa moto.[i]
50 Chumvi ni njema. Lakini ikiwa chumvi itaharibika, utawezaje kuifanya chumvi tena? Muwe na chumvi miongoni mwenu na muishi kwa amani ninyi kwa ninyi.”

9 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying to them, Omein, I say to you, there are some of those standing here who shall not taste mavet (death) until they see that the Malchut Hashem has come in gevurah.
2 And after shishah yamim Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach takes Kefa and Yaakov and Yochanan, and brought them up a high mountain by themselves. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was transfigured before them;
3 And his garments became like a dazzlingly brilliant kittel, gantz (exceedingly) white, more white than anyone on earth could bleach them.
4 And Eliyahu Hanavi appeared to them along with Moshe (Rabbeinu), and they were talking with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
5 And in reply, to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Kefa says: Rebbe, it is tov [for] us to be here, and let us make shalosh sukkot, one for you and one for Moshe (Rabbeinu) and one for Eliyahu Hanavi.
6 Kefa did not know what he was answering, for they were tzufloigen (dazed) with pachad (terror).
7 And there came an anan (cloud) that was overshadowing them, and there came a bat kol out of the anan, ZEH BENI AHUVI, ELAV TISHMAUN (Listen to him!) (TEHILLIM 2:7) [SHEMOT 24:16]
8 And suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one in their company any more, except only Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
9 And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, he gave instructions to them that they should tell no one what they saw, except when the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14] should stand up in his Techiyas HaMoshiach.
10 And they retained Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach’s dvar, discussing among themselves what he might mean by the Techiyas HaMoshiach from HaMesim.
11 And they were questioning him, saying, Why is it that the Sofrim (Scribes) say it is necessary for Eliyahu Hanavi to come rishonah (first)?
12 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Eliyahu Hanavi indeed does come rishonah and brings tikkun (restoration) to all things. And yet how is it written of the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] that he must suffer many things and be NIVZEH VACHADAL (despised and rejected YESHAYAH 53:3)?
13 But I say to you, that Eliyahu Hanavi has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, just as it has been written concerning him. [MELACHIM ALEF 19:2, 10; MALACHI 3:23f (4:5f)]
14 And when they returned to the talmidim, they saw a great multitude around them and [the] Sofrim (Scribes) arguing with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach’s talmidim.
15 And ofen ort, as soon as the multitude saw Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, they were surprised and began running up to [him] with Birkat Shalom greetings.
16 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach questioned them, About what are you arguing with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach: Rabbi, I brought beni (my son) to you, because he has a shed that makes him illem (mute).
18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him into convulsions and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. And I told your talmidim in order that they might cast it out, and they did not have the koach.
19 In reply to them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, O dor without emunah, how long will I be with you? How long will I put up with you? Bring the bocher to me!
20 They brought the bocher to him. And when the shed saw Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, it threw the bocher into convulsions, and, falling to the ground, the bocher began rolling around foaming at the mouth.
21 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach questioned the bocher’s abba, How long has this been happening to him? And he said, From kinderyoren.
22 And also it has often thrown him into the eish and into the mayim that it might destroy him. But if you can do anything, grant rachmei shomayim upon us and help us!
23 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, If you can?!! All things are possible to him who has emunah!
24 Ofen ort (immediately) the abba of the bocher cried out and began saying, Ani maamin (I believe)! Help my lack of emunah!
25 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having seen that a multitude was gathering, rebuked the ruach hatumah (unclean spirit), saying to it, You cheresh-illem (deaf and mute) ruach hatemeiah, I command you, come out from him and do not ever enter into him again!
26 And after shrieking a shrai (scream) and throwing the bocher into violent seizures, the ruach hatemeiah came out. And the bocher was so like a geviyah (corpse) that many exclaimed he was niftar.
27 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having grasped the hand of the bocher, lifted him up; and the bocher stood up.
28 And, having entered into a bais, his talmidim began questioning Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in a yechidus: Why were we not able to perform the gerush shedim (exorcism)?
29 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, This kind of gerush shedim is accomplished only by davening with tzomot.
30 And from there they went forth and were passing through the Galil, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not want anyone to have daas.
31 For Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was teaching his talmidim and was saying to them, The Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14] is to be betrayed into the hands of Bnei Adam, and MOSHIACH YIKARET (Moshiach will be violently killed, DANIEL 9:26), and when he has been killed and has his histalkus (passing), he will rise in his Techiyas HaMoshiach from HaMesim on Yom HaShelishi (the Third Day).
32 But they did not have binah concerning this dvar, and they were afraid to inquire further.
33 And they came to Kfar-Nachum. And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was in the bais, he began questioning them, What were you arguing about baderech (on the road)?
34 But they were keeping silent, for baderech they were discussing with one another which of the talmidim was hagadol.
35 And sitting down, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach called the Shneym Asar and says to them, If anyone wishes to be Rishon (First), he shall be Acharon (Last), and mesharet (minister, servant) of all.
36 And having taken a yeled, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach set him in [the] center of them, and, having taken the yeled into his arms, he said to them,
37 Whoever receives one yeled such as this biShmi (in my Name) receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not only me but the One who sent me.
38 Yochanan said to him, Rebbe, we saw someone performing a gerush shedim in your Name, and we were trying to stop him, because he was not one of your chasidim. [BAMIDBAR 11:27-29]
39 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Do not stop him, for no one who will accomplish niflaot (wonders) biShmi (in my Name) will be able soon afterward to speak lashon hora about me.
40 For the one who is not our mitnagged is for us.
41 For whoever gives you to drink a kos of mayim (cup of water) biShmi (in my Name) because you are talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, omein, I say to you, he shall not lose his sachar (reward).
42 And whoever causes a michshol (stumbling block) for one of these little ones, the maaminim b’Moshiach who have emunah in me, it would be better for him if a heavy millstone, one turned by a donkey, were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if your yad causes you a michshol, cut off your yad; for it is better for you if you enter Chayyei Olam as an amputee, than, having both yadayim, you go away into Gehinnom, into the EISH LO TIKHBEH (fire not [ever] extinguished, YESHAYAH 66:24),
44 Where their TOLAAT LO TAMUT (worm does not die YESHAYAH 66:24) and EISH LO TIKHBEH (the fire not [ever] extinguished YESHAYAH 66:24).]
45 And if your regel (foot) causes you a michshol, cut off your regel; it is better for you to enter Chayyei Olam lame, than, having both raglayim, to be cast into Gehinnom,
46 Where their TOLAAT LO TAMUT (worm does not die YESHAYAH 66:24) and EISH LO TIKHBEH (the fire not [ever] extinguished YESHAYAH 66:24).]
47 And if your ayin (eye) causes you a michshol, take it out; for it is better for you to enter the Malchut Hashem one-eyed, than, having both eynayim, to be cast into Gehinnom,
48 Where their TOLAAT LO TAMUT (worm does not die YESHAYAH 66:24) and EISH LO TIKHBEH (the fire not [ever] extinguished YESHAYAH 66:24).
49 For everyone will have eish as his melach (salt). [VAYIKRA 2:13]
50 Melach is tov, but if the melach becomes unsalty, by what [means] will you make it salty again? Have melach in yourselves. And among yourselves let there be shalom.
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)

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)

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)
