Marcu 9
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
9 Şi le-a zis: „Adevărat vă spun că sunt unii dintre cei ce stau aici care nu vor gusta moartea înainte de a vedea Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu venind cu putere.“[a]
Schimbarea la faţă
2 După şase zile, Isus i-a luat cu Sine pe Petru, pe Iacov şi pe Ioan şi i-a dus doar pe ei singuri, pe un munte înalt. Acolo I-a fost schimbată înfăţişarea înaintea lor. 3 Hainele Lui au devenit strălucitor de albe, aşa de albe cum nici un înălbitor de pe pământ n-ar fi putut să le facă. 4 Şi iată că li s-au arătat Ilie împreună cu Moise; ei stăteau de vorbă cu Isus.
5 Petru I-a zis lui Isus: „Rabbi[b], este bine să fim aici! Să facem trei corturi: unul pentru Tine, unul pentru Moise şi unul pentru Ilie!“ 6 Nu ştia ce să zică, căci erau îngroziţi. 7 Un nor a venit şi i-a acoperit, iar din nor s-a auzit un glas care zicea: „Acesta este Fiul Meu preaiubit! De El să ascultaţi![c]“
8 Ei s-au uitat deodată în jur, dar n-au mai văzut pe nimeni, decât pe Isus singur cu ei.
9 În timp ce coborau de pe munte, Isus le-a poruncit să nu povestească nimănui ceea ce au văzut, până când nu va învia Fiul Omului dintre cei morţi. 10 Ei au respectat porunca Lui, dar au început să se întrebe ce înseamnă învierea dintre cei morţi. 11 Şi L-au întrebat:
– De ce spun cărturarii că trebuie să vină mai întâi Ilie?
12 El le-a răspuns:
– Într-adevăr, Ilie vine primul pentru a restaura toate lucrurile. Totuşi, cum de este scris despre Fiul Omului că El va urma să sufere mult şi să fie dispreţuit? 13 Dar Eu vă spun că Ilie a şi venit, însă ei au făcut cu el tot ce-au vrut, aşa cum este scris despre el.
Ucenicii nu pot vindeca un copil demoniac
14 Când au ajuns la ceilalţi ucenici, au văzut o mulţime mare în jurul lor şi pe nişte cărturari care discutau aprins cu ei. 15 Imediat ce întreaga mulţime L-a văzut pe Isus, au rămas uimiţi şi au alergat la El să-L salute.
16 El i-a întrebat:
– Despre ce discutaţi atât de aprins cu ei?
17 Un om din mulţime I-a răspuns:
– Învăţătorule, l-am adus la Tine pe fiul meu, care are în el un duh de muţenie. 18 Oriunde îl apucă, îl trânteşte la pământ. El face spume la gură, scrâşneşte din dinţi şi devine ţeapăn. Le-am spus ucenicilor Tăi să-l scoată, dar n-au putut.
19 Isus le-a răspuns:
– O, generaţie necredincioasă! Până când voi mai fi cu voi? Până când vă voi mai răbda? Aduceţi-l la Mine!
20 L-au adus la El. Şi imediat ce L-a văzut pe Isus, duhul i-a provocat copilului spasme. Copilul a căzut la pământ şi se rostogolea, făcând spume la gură.
21 Isus l-a întrebat pe tatăl acestuia:
– De câtă vreme i se întâmplă aşa?
El I-a răspuns:
– Din copilărie. 22 Şi de multe ori îl aruncă în foc şi în apă, ca să-l omoare ... Dar, dacă poţi face ceva, ai milă de noi şi ajută-ne!
23 Isus i-a zis:
– „Dacă poţi ...“?! Toate lucrurile sunt posibile pentru cel care crede!
24 Imediat tatăl copilului a strigat zicând:
– Cred! Ajută necredinţei mele!
25 Când a văzut Isus că mulţimea vine în fuga mare, a mustrat duhul necurat şi i-a zis: „Duh mut şi surd, ţie îţi poruncesc: ieşi afară din el şi să nu mai intri în el!“ 26 Duhul a strigat şi apoi a ieşit provocându-i copilului convulsii puternice. Copilul a rămas ca mort, aşa că mulţi ziceau că a murit. 27 Isus însă l-a apucat de mână şi l-a ridicat. Şi el s-a sculat în picioare.
28 Când a intrat El în casă, fiind doar ei cu Isus, ucenicii L-au întrebat:
– Noi de ce n-am putut să-l scoatem?
29 El le-a răspuns:
– Pe acest soi de demoni nimeni nu-i poate scoate afară, decât prin rugăciune (şi post)[d].
Isus vorbeşte din nou despre moartea şi învierea Sa
30 Au plecat de acolo şi au trecut prin Galileea. Isus nu voia să ştie nimeni lucrul acesta, 31 pentru că îi învăţa pe ucenici şi le zicea: „Fiul Omului urmează să fie trădat în mâinile oamenilor. Ei Îl vor omorî, dar la trei zile după ce-L vor fi omorât, va învia.“ 32 Ei însă n-au priceput aceste vorbe şi se temeau să-L întrebe.
Cine este cel mai mare?
33 Apoi au ajuns în Capernaum. În timp ce se aflau în casă, Isus i-a întrebat:
– Despre ce aţi discutat atât de aprins pe drum?
34 Dar ei tăceau, pentru că pe drum discutaseră aprins unii cu alţii cu privire la cine este cel mai mare dintre ei.
35 Isus S-a aşezat, i-a chemat pe cei doisprezece şi le-a zis:
– Dacă vrea cineva să fie primul, trebuie să fie ultimul dintre toţi şi slujitorul tuturor.
36 Isus a luat un copilaş, l-a pus să stea în mijlocul lor şi, luându-l în braţe, le-a zis:
37 – Oricine primeşte astfel de copilaşi în Numele Meu, pe Mine Mă primeşte, iar cel ce Mă primeşte pe Mine, nu Mă primeşte, de fapt, pe Mine, ci pe Cel Ce M-a trimis pe Mine.
De partea lui Isus
38 Ioan I-a zis:
– Învăţătorule, noi am văzut pe cineva care scotea demoni în Numele Tău şi l-am oprit, pentru că nu ne urma.
39 Isus i-a răspuns:
– Nu-l opriţi, căci nu este nimeni care să facă o minune în Numele Meu şi care să Mă poată vorbi de rău imediat după aceea. 40 Cel care nu este împotriva noastră este de partea noastră. 41 Iar cel care vă dă un pahar cu apă în Numele Meu, pentru că sunteţi ai lui Cristos, adevărat vă spun că nu-şi va pierde răsplata.
Pricini de păcătuire
42 Dar dacă cineva îl face să păcătuiască pe vreunul din aceşti micuţi care cred în Mine, ar fi mai bine pentru el dacă i s-ar atârna de gât o piatră mare de moară şi ar fi aruncat în mare. 43 Dacă mâna ta te face să păcătuieşti, taie-o! Este mai bine pentru tine să intri în viaţă ciung, decât să ai două mâini şi să mergi în Gheenă[e], în focul care nu poate fi stins, 44 (unde viermele nu moare şi focul nu se stinge)[f]. 45 Şi dacă piciorul tău te face să păcătuieşti, taie-l! Este mai bine pentru tine să intri în viaţă şchiop, decât să ai două picioare şi să fii aruncat în Gheenă, 46 (unde viermele nu moare şi focul nu se stinge). 47 Dacă ochiul tău te face să păcătuieşti, scoate-l! Este mai bine pentru tine să intri în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu având un singur ochi, decât să ai doi ochi şi să fii aruncat în Gheenă,
48 unde viermele nu moare
şi focul nu se stinge.[g]
49 Căci orice om va fi sărat cu foc (şi orice jertfă va fi sărată cu sare)[h].
50 Sarea este bună, dar dacă sarea devine fără gust, prin ce o veţi face din nou sărată?! Aveţi deci sare în voi înşivă şi trăiţi în pace unii cu alţii!“

Mark 9
King James Version
9 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Mark 9
New King James Version
The Transfiguration of Christ(A)
9 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
2 (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. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly (E)white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 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”— 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.
7 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!” 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.
9 (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
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.”
