Mark 9
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 He said to them, “Amen I tell you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come with power.”
The Transfiguration
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him and led them up a high mountain where they were alone by themselves. There he was transfigured in front of them. 3 His clothes became radiant, dazzling white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them together with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 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 because they were terrified.
7 A cloud appeared and overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him.”
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus alone.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing with one another what this “rising from the dead” meant.
11 They asked him, “Why do the experts in the law say that Elijah must come first?”
12 He said to them, “Elijah does come first and restores all things. Why was it also written about the Son of Man that he must suffer many things and be rejected? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it was written about him.”
Jesus Heals a Boy With a Demon
14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some experts in the law were arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people in the crowd saw Jesus, they were very excited and ran to greet him. 16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?”
17 One man from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who has a spirit that makes him unable to speak. 18 Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”
19 “O unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied. “How long will I be with you? How long will I put up with you? Bring him to me.”
20 They brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the spirit saw him, it threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell on the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been happening to him?”
“From childhood,” he said. 22 “It has often thrown him into the fire and into the water to kill him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 “If you can?”[a] Jesus said to him. “All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 The child’s father immediately cried out and said with tears,[b] “I do believe. Help me with my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked the unclean spirit. “You mute and deaf spirit,” he said, “I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 The spirit screamed, shook the boy violently, and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many of them said, “He’s dead!” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, raised him up, and he stood up.
28 When Jesus went into a house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why were we not able to drive it out?”
29 He said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out, except by prayer and fasting.”[c]
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection Again
30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know this, 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him. But three days after he is killed, he will rise.”
32 But they did not understand the statement and were afraid to ask him about it.
Who Is the Greatest?
33 They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” 34 But they remained silent, because on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35 Jesus sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he will be the last of all and the servant of all.” 36 Then he took a little child and placed him in their midst. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me. And whoever welcomes me, welcomes not just me but also him who sent me.”
Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he was not following us.”
39 But Jesus said, “Do not try to stop him, because no one who does a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil about me. 40 Whoever is not against us is for us. 41 Amen I tell you: Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, will certainly not lose his reward.
Do Not Cause Little Believers to Fall Into Sin
42 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall into sin,[d] it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around his neck. 43 If your hand causes you to fall into sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed, than to have two hands and go into hell,[e] into the unquenchable fire, 44 ‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’[f] 45 If your foot causes you to fall into sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, than to have two feet and be thrown into hell,[g] 46 ‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’ 47 If your eye causes you to fall into sin, 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,[h] 48 ‘where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’ 49 For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good. But if the salt loses its flavor, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

New Vietnamese Bible
Vinh Quang Của Đức Giê-su Thể Hiện(A)
9 Rồi Ngài bảo họ: “Ta quả quyết với các con, một số trong những người đang đứng đây sẽ không chết[a] cho đến khi thấy Nước Đức Chúa Trời thể hiện trong quyền năng.”
2 Sáu ngày sau, Đức Giê-su đem riêng Phê-rơ, Gia-cơ và Giăng lên một ngọn núi cao, rồi Ngài hóa hình[b] trước mặt họ. 3 Y phục Ngài trở nên sáng chói và trắng tinh, không một ai trên đời có thể làm trắng như vậy. 4 Ê-li và Môi-se hiện ra cùng họ và hầu chuyện với Đức Giê-su.
5 Phê-rơ thưa cùng Đức Giê-su: “Thưa Thầy, chúng ta ở đây thật tốt. Chúng con xin dựng ba trại, một cho Thầy, một cho Môi-se và một cho Ê-li.” 6 Phê-rơ không biết mình nói gì, vì họ đều kinh hoàng.
7 Rồi một đám mây kéo đến che phủ họ và từ trong mây có tiếng phán: “Đây là Con yêu dấu của Ta, hãy nghe lời người.”
8 Họ chợt nhìn quanh, nhưng không thấy ai cả, chỉ còn một mình Đức Giê-su.
9 Khi xuống núi, Ngài cấm họ không được nói với ai điều mình vừa thấy, cho đến ngày Con Người từ cõi chết sống lại. 10 Họ vâng giữ lời ấy, nhưng tự hỏi: “Sống lại từ cõi chết” có nghĩa gì?
11 Sau đó các môn đệ hỏi Ngài: “Sao các giáo sư Kinh Luật bảo Ê-li phải đến trước?”
12 Ngài đáp: “Thật thế, Ê-li đã đến trước để phục hồi mọi việc. Vậy, sao cũng có chép về Con Người rằng Ngài phải chịu nhiều đau khổ và bạc đãi? 13 Ta cho các con biết: Ê-li đã đến rồi và họ đối xử với người theo ý họ, như Kinh Thánh đã ghi chép về người.”
Đứa Trẻ Bị Quỷ Ám(B)
14 Khi xuống đến chỗ các môn đệ khác, Đức Giê-su và ba môn đệ thấy đoàn dân đông vây quanh, cũng có các giáo sư Kinh Luật đang tranh luận với các môn đệ ấy. 15 Vừa thấy Ngài, cả đám đông rất ngạc nhiên chạy đến đón.
16 Ngài hỏi các môn đệ: “Các con đang tranh luận với họ việc gì thế?”
17 Một người trong đám đông lên tiếng: “Thưa Thầy, tôi đem con trai tôi đến với Thầy, nó bị quỷ câm ám. 18 Bất cứ ở đâu quỷ nhập vào là vật nó ngã xuống, làm nó sùi bọt mép, nghiến răng rồi cứng đờ ra. Tôi có xin môn đệ Thầy đuổi quỷ ấy, nhưng họ không trừ nổi.”
19 Ngài đáp: “Thế hệ này sao vô tín quá! Ta phải ở với các ngươi cho đến chừng nào? Ta phải chịu đựng các ngươi cho đến bao giờ? Hãy đem nó đến cho Ta.”
20 Họ đem đứa trẻ đến cùng Ngài. Vừa thấy Ngài, quỷ liền vật nó dữ dội; nó ngã xuống đất lăn lộn, sùi bọt mép.
21 Ngài hỏi cha nó: “Nó bị bệnh thế này đã bao lâu rồi?” Người cha thưa: “Từ lúc cháu còn bé, 22 đã nhiều lần quỷ đẩy cháu vào lửa và xô xuống nước để giết cháu. Dù sao, nếu được, xin Thầy thương tình giúp chúng tôi.”
23 Đức Giê-su bảo: “Sao ông lại nói ‘nếu được?’ Ai tin thì mọi việc đều được cả.”
24 Cha đứa bé liền kêu lớn: “Tôi tin, xin Thầy giúp tôi có lòng tin.”
25 Thấy đoàn dân đông chạy đến, Đức Giê-su quở tà linh: “Quỷ câm và điếc kia, Ta truyền cho mày phải ra khỏi đứa trẻ này, không được nhập lại nữa.”
26 Quỷ câm rú lên một tiếng, vật ngã đứa trẻ rồi ra khỏi. Đứa trẻ bất động như chết nên nhiều người nói: “Nó chết rồi!” 27 Nhưng Đức Giê-su cầm tay nó, đỡ dậy nên nó đứng lên.
28 Khi Ngài vào nhà, các môn đồ hỏi riêng Ngài: “Tại sao chúng con không trừ được quỷ ấy?”
29 Ngài bảo họ: “Loại quỷ này phải cầu nguyện[c] mới đuổi được.”
Đức Giê-su Lại Báo Trước Về Sự Thương Khó Của Ngài(C)
30 Từ nơi đó, Đức Giê-su và các môn đệ băng ngang qua xứ Ga-li-lê, Ngài không muốn cho ai biết. 31 Ngài đã dạy các môn đệ rằng: “Con Người sắp bị nộp vào tay người ta, sẽ bị giết và sau khi chết ba ngày, Người sẽ sống lại.” 32 Nhưng các môn đệ không hiểu lời ấy, lại sợ không dám hỏi Ngài.
Ai Cao Trọng Hơn Trong Nước Đức Chúa Trời(D)
33 Họ đến thành Ca-pha-na-um, vào nhà rồi, Ngài hỏi họ: “Trên đường, các con tranh luận gì với nhau?” 34 Nhưng họ đều im lặng vì khi đi đường đã tranh luận với nhau ai là người lớn hơn hết.
35 Ngài ngồi xuống, gọi mười hai môn đệ lại và bảo: “Nếu ai muốn làm đầu thì phải làm rốt và phục dịch mọi người.”
36 Ngài đem một em bé để đứng giữa các môn đệ, rồi ôm nó vào lòng bảo: 37 “Nếu ai vì danh Ta tiếp nhận một đứa trẻ như đứa này tức là tiếp Ta; còn ai tiếp Ta thì không phải chỉ tiếp Ta nhưng cũng tiếp Đấng đã sai Ta.”
Không Thù Là Bạn(E)
38 Giăng thưa cùng Ngài: “Thưa Thầy, chúng con thấy một người nhân danh Thầy đuổi quỷ, chúng con đã tìm cách ngăn cản, vì người ấy không theo chúng ta.”
39 Nhưng Đức Giê-su đáp: “Đừng ngăn cản vì chẳng có ai nhân danh Ta làm phép lạ lại nói xấu Ta được. 40 Ai không nghịch với chúng ta là thuận với chúng ta. 41 Ai nhân danh Ta cho các con uống một chén nước vì các con thuộc về Chúa Cứu Thế, Ta quả quyết cùng các con, người ấy sẽ không mất phần thưởng của mình đâu.”
Cám Dỗ(F)
42 “Còn ai gây cho một trong những đứa trẻ này đã tin Ta, phạm tội, thì thà buộc cối đá vào cổ người ấy mà quăng xuống biển còn hơn. 43 Còn nếu tay con gây cho con phạm tội, hãy chặt nó đi; thà cụt một tay mà được sự sống còn hơn là đủ cả hai tay mà phải vào hỏa ngục, trong lửa chẳng hề tắt. 44 (Nơi đó sâu bọ sẽ chẳng hề chết và lửa sẽ không hề tắt.)[d] 45 Còn nếu chân con gây cho con phạm tội, hãy chặt nó đi; thà cụt một chân mà được sự sống còn hơn là đủ hai chân mà bị quăng vào hỏa ngục. 46 (Nơi đó sâu bọ sẽ chẳng hề chết và lửa sẽ không hề tắt.)[e] 47 Còn nếu mắt con gây cho con phạm tội, hãy móc đi; thà bị chột mắt mà vào Nước Đức Chúa Trời còn hơn là đủ hai mắt mà bị quăng xuống hỏa ngục, 48 là nơi sâu bọ chẳng hề chết và lửa không hề tắt. 49 Vì mỗi người sẽ bị muối bằng lửa.
50 Muối vốn tốt lành, nhưng nếu mất chất mặn đi, các con lấy gì làm cho mặn lại? Hãy có muối trong mình và sống hòa bình với nhau.”
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)
