马可福音 9
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
9 耶穌又對他們說：“我實在告訴你們，站在這裡的，有人在沒有嘗過死味以前，必定看見 神的國帶著能力降臨。”
在山上改變形象(A)
2 過了六天，耶穌帶著彼得、雅各、約翰，領他們悄悄地上了高山，在他們面前改變了形象。 3 他的衣服閃耀發光，極其潔白，地上漂布的沒有能漂得這樣白的。 4 又有以利亞和摩西向他們顯現，並且跟耶穌談話。 5 彼得對耶穌說：“拉比，我們在這裡真好！我們可以搭三個帳棚，一個為你，一個為摩西，一個為以利亞。” 6 彼得不知道該說甚麼才好，因為他們都非常害怕。 7 有一片雲彩來，籠罩他們，又有聲音從雲中出來：“這是我的愛子，你們要聽他。” 8 門徒立刻周圍觀看，再也看不見別的人，只見耶穌單獨和他們在一起。
9 他們下山的時候，耶穌吩咐他們，人子從死人中復活之前，不要把所看見的告訴人。 10 門徒把這句話記在心裡，又彼此討論從死人中復活是甚麼意思。 11 他們就問耶穌：“經學家為甚麼說以利亞必須先來呢？” 12 耶穌說：“以利亞固然要先來復興一切，但聖經為甚麼又記載人子要受許多苦，被人藐視呢？ 13 其實我告訴你們，以利亞已經來了，他們卻任意待他，正如經上指著他所說的。”
治好癲癇病的小孩(B)
14 他們回到門徒那裡，看見一大群人圍著他們，又有經學家和他們辯論。 15 眾人看見了耶穌，都很驚奇，就跑上前去向他問安。 16 他問他們：“你們和他們辯論甚麼？” 17 群眾當中有一個回答他：“老師，我把我的兒子帶到你這裡來，他被啞巴鬼附著。 18 無論在哪裡，鬼抓住他，把他摔倒，他就口吐白沫，咬牙切齒，渾身僵硬。我請你的門徒把鬼趕出去，他們卻辦不到。” 19 耶穌回答他們：“唉！不信的世代啊！我跟你們在一起到幾時呢？我要忍受你們到幾時呢？把他帶到我這裡來吧。” 20 他們就把孩子帶到他跟前。那鬼一見耶穌，就立刻使孩子抽了一陣瘋，倒在地上，流著唾沫打滾。 21 耶穌問他父親：“這事臨到他有多久了？”他說：“從小就是這樣。 22 鬼常常把他扔在火裡水中，要毀滅他。如果你能作甚麼，求你可憐我們，幫助我們。” 23 耶穌對他說：“‘如果你能’（“如果你能”有些抄本作“你若能信”）—對於信的人，甚麼都能！” 24 孩子的父親立刻喊著說：“我信！但我的信心不夠，求你幫助我。” 25 耶穌看見群眾圍攏了來，就斥責那污鬼說：“聾啞的鬼，我吩咐你從他身上出來，不要再進去。” 26 那鬼大聲喊叫，使孩子重重地抽了一陣瘋，就出來了。孩子好像死了一樣，所以許多人都說：“他死了！” 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，門徒私下問他說：“為甚麼我們不能把那污鬼趕出去呢？” 29 耶穌對他們說：“這一類的鬼，非用禱告是趕不出去的。”
第二次預言受難及復活(C)
30 他們從那裡出去，經過加利利，耶穌不想讓人知道， 31 因為他正在教導門徒。他又對他們說：“人子將要被交在人的手裡，他們要殺害他，死後三天他要復活。” 32 門徒不明白這話，又不敢問他。
門徒爭論誰最大(D)
33 他們來到迦百農。在屋裡的時候，耶穌問他們：“你們在路上爭論甚麼？” 34 門徒一聲不響，因為他們在路上彼此爭論誰為大。 35 耶穌坐下，叫十二門徒來，對他們說：“誰想為首，就該作眾人中最末的一個，作眾人的僕人。” 36 於是拉過一個小孩子來，叫他站在門徒中間，又把他抱起來，對他們說： 37 “凡因我的名接待一個這樣的小孩子的，就是接待我；凡接待我的，不是接待我，而是接待那差我來的。”
反對與贊成(E)
38 約翰對耶穌說：“老師，我們看見有一個人奉你的名趕鬼，就禁止他，因為他不跟從我們。” 39 耶穌說：“不要禁止他，因為沒有人能奉我的名行了神蹟，又立刻毀謗我。 40 不反對我們的，就是贊成我們的。 41 無論誰因你們有屬基督的名分，給你們一杯水喝的，我實在告訴你們，他決不會失掉賞賜。
堅拒使人犯罪(F)
42 “如果有人使一個信我的小弟兄犯罪，倒不如在他的頸項上拴一塊大磨石投在海裡。 43 如果你的一隻手使你犯罪，就把它砍下來。你身體殘廢進永生，總比有兩隻手下到地獄，進入那不滅的火裡好得多。（有些抄本有第44節“在那裡蟲是不死的，火是不滅的。”） 45 如果你的一隻腳使你犯罪，就把它砍下來。你瘸腿進永生，總比你有兩隻腳而被丟在地獄裡好得多。（有些抄本有第46節“在那裡蟲是不死的，火是不滅的。”） 47 如果你的一隻眼睛使你犯罪，就把它挖出來。你只有一隻眼睛進 神的國，總比你有兩隻眼睛而被丟在地獄裡好得多， 48 在那裡蟲是不死的，火是不滅的。 49 每一個人必被火當鹽來醃。（有些抄本在此有“各祭物必用鹽來醃”一句；也有些抄本只有附註的一句，而沒有正文的一句） 50 鹽是好的，但如果失了味，可以用甚麼使它再鹹呢？你們自己裡面應當有鹽，彼此和睦。”
Mark 9
Easy-to-Read Version
9 Then Jesus said, “Believe me when I say that some of you people standing here will see God’s kingdom come with power before you die.”
Jesus Is Seen With Moses and Elijah(A)
2 Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and went up on a high mountain. They were all alone there. While these followers watched him, Jesus was changed. 3 His clothes became shining white—whiter than anyone on earth could make them. 4 Then two men were there talking with Jesus. They were Elijah and Moses.
5 Peter said to Jesus, “Teacher, it is good that we are here. We will put three tents here—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 Peter did not know what to say, because he and the other two followers were so afraid.
7 Then a cloud came and covered them. A voice came from the cloud and said, “This is my Son, the one I love. Obey him!”
8 The followers looked, but they saw only Jesus there alone with them.
9 As Jesus and the followers were walking back down the mountain, he gave them these instructions: “Don’t tell anyone about what you saw on the mountain. Wait until after the Son of Man rises from death. Then you can tell people what you saw.”
10 So the followers waited to say anything about what they saw. But they discussed among themselves what Jesus meant about rising from death. 11 They asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come[a] first?”
12 Jesus answered, “They are right to say that Elijah must come first. Elijah makes all things the way they should be. But why do the Scriptures say that the Son of Man will suffer much and that people will think he is worth nothing? 13 I tell you that Elijah has already come. And people did to him all the bad things they wanted to do. The Scriptures said this would happen to him.”
Jesus Frees a Boy From an Evil Spirit(B)
14 Then Jesus, Peter, James, and John went to the other followers. They saw many people around them. The teachers of the law were arguing with the followers. 15 When the people saw Jesus, they were very surprised and ran to welcome him.
16 Jesus asked, “What are you arguing about with the teachers of the law?”
17 A man answered, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He is controlled by an evil spirit that keeps him from talking. 18 The spirit attacks him and throws him on the ground. He foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes very stiff. I asked your followers to force the evil spirit out, but they could not.”
19 Jesus answered, “You people today don’t believe! How long must I stay with you? How long must I be patient with you? Bring the boy to me!”
20 So the followers brought the boy to Jesus. When the evil spirit saw Jesus, it attacked the boy. The boy fell down and rolled on the ground. He was foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been happening to him?”
The father answered, “Since he was very young. 22 The spirit often throws him into a fire or into water to kill him. If you can do anything, please have pity on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to the father, “Why did you say ‘if you can’? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 Immediately the father shouted, “I do believe. Help me to believe more!”
25 Jesus saw that all the people were running there to see what was happening. So he spoke to the evil spirit. He said, “You evil spirit that makes this boy deaf and stops him from talking—I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 The evil spirit screamed. It caused the boy to fall on the ground again, and then it came out. The boy looked as if he was dead. Many people said, “He is dead!” 27 But Jesus took hold of his hand and helped him stand up.
28 Then Jesus went into the house. His followers were alone with him there. They said, “Why weren’t we able to force that evil spirit out?”
29 Jesus answered, “That kind of spirit can be forced out only with prayer.[b]”
Jesus Talks About His Death(C)
30 Then Jesus and his followers left there and went through Galilee. Jesus did not want the people to know where they were. 31 He wanted to teach his followers alone. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be handed over to the control of other men, who will kill him. After three days, he will rise from death.” 32 But the followers did not understand what he meant, and they were afraid to ask him.
Who Is the Greatest?(D)
33 Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum. They went into a house, and Jesus said to them, “I heard you arguing on the way here today. What were you arguing about?” 34 But the followers did not answer, because their argument on the road was about which one of them was the greatest.
35 Jesus sat down and called the twelve apostles to him. He said, “Whoever wants to be the most important must make others more important than themselves. They must serve everyone else.”
36 Then Jesus took a small child and stood the child in front of the followers. He held the child in his arms and said, 37 “Whoever accepts children like these in my name is accepting me. And anyone who accepts me is also accepting the one who sent me.”
Whoever Is Not Against Us Is For Us(E)
38 Then John said, “Teacher, we saw a man using your name to force demons out of someone. He is not one of us. So we told him to stop, because he does not belong to our group.”
39 Jesus said, “Don’t stop him. Whoever uses my name to do powerful things will not soon say bad things about me. 40 Whoever is not against us is with us. 41 I can assure you that anyone who helps you by giving you a drink of water because you belong to the Messiah will definitely get a reward.
Jesus Warns About Causes of Sin(F)
42 “If one of these little children believes in me, and someone causes that child to sin, it will be very bad for that person. It would be better for them to have a millstone tied around their neck and be drowned in the sea. 43 If your hand makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body and have eternal life than to have two hands and go to hell. There the fire never stops. 44 [c] 45 If your foot makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body and have eternal life than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 46 [d] 47 If your eye makes you sin, take it out. It is better for you to have only one eye and enter God’s kingdom than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell. 48 The worms that eat the people in hell never die. The fire there is never stopped.
49 “Everyone will be salted with fire.[e]
50 “Salt is good. But if it loses its salty taste, you can’t make it good again. So, don’t lose that good quality of salt you have. And live in peace with each other.”
