Marcos 9
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

9 Y Jesús les decía: «En verdad les digo que hay algunos de los que están aquí que no probarán la muerte hasta que vean el reino de Dios después de que haya venido con poder(A)».

La transfiguración

2 (B)Seis días después, Jesús tomó* con Él a Pedro, a Jacobo[a] y a Juan(C), y los llevó* a ellos solos a un monte alto; y se transfiguró delante de ellos. 3 Sus vestiduras se volvieron resplandecientes, muy blancas(D), tal como ningún lavandero sobre la tierra las puede blanquear. 4 Y se les apareció Elías junto con Moisés, y estaban hablando con Jesús. 5 Entonces Pedro dijo* a Jesús: «Rabí[b](E), bueno es que estemos aquí; hagamos tres enramadas[c], una para Ti, otra para Moisés y otra para Elías(F)».

6 Porque él no sabía qué decir[d], pues estaban aterrados. 7 Entonces se formó[e] una nube que los cubrió, y una voz(G) salió[f] de la nube: «Este es Mi Hijo amado; oigan a Él[g](H)». 8 Y enseguida miraron en derredor, pero ya no vieron a nadie con ellos, sino a Jesús solo.

La venida de Elías

9 (I)Cuando bajaban del monte, Jesús les ordenó que no contaran a nadie(J) lo que habían visto, hasta que[h] el Hijo del Hombre resucitara de entre los muertos. 10 Y se guardaron para sí lo que fue dicho, discutiendo entre sí qué significaría[i] eso de resucitar de entre los muertos. 11 Le preguntaron a Jesús: «¿Por qué dicen los escribas que Elías debe venir primero(K)?».

12 «Es cierto que Elías, al venir primero, restaurará[j] todas las cosas», les dijo. «Y, sin embargo, ¿cómo está escrito del Hijo del Hombre(L)que ha de padecer mucho(M)y ser despreciado? 13 Pero Yo les digo que Elías ya[k]ha venido, y le hicieron cuanto quisieron, tal como está escrito de él».

Jesús sana a un muchacho endemoniado

14 (N)Cuando regresaron adonde estaban los otros discípulos, vieron una gran multitud que los rodeaba, y a unos escribas que discutían con ellos. 15 Enseguida, cuando toda la multitud vio a Jesús, quedó sorprendida(O), y corriendo hacia Él, lo saludaban. 16 «¿Qué discuten con ellos?», les preguntó.

17 Y uno de la multitud le respondió: «Maestro, te he traído a mi hijo que tiene un espíritu mudo, 18 y siempre[l] que se apodera de él, lo derriba, y echa espumarajos, cruje los dientes y se va consumiendo[m]. Dije a Tus discípulos que expulsaran al espíritu, pero no pudieron».

19 Jesús les dijo*: «¡Oh generación incrédula! ¿Hasta cuándo estaré con ustedes? ¿Hasta cuándo los tendré que soportar? ¡Traigan al muchacho!». 20 Y lo llevaron ante Él. Cuando el espíritu vio a Jesús, al instante sacudió con violencia al muchacho[n], y este, cayendo a tierra, se revolcaba echando espumarajos. 21 Jesús preguntó al padre: «¿Cuánto tiempo hace que le sucede esto?». «Desde su niñez», respondió. 22 «Muchas veces ese espíritu lo ha echado en el fuego y también en el agua para destruirlo. Pero si Tú puedes hacer algo, ten misericordia de nosotros y ayúdanos».

23 «¿Cómo “si Tú puedes?”», le dijo Jesús. «Todas las cosas son posibles para el que cree(P)». 24 Al instante el padre del muchacho gritó y dijo: «Creo; ayúdame en mi incredulidad». 25 Cuando Jesús vio que la gente corría a reunirse(Q), reprendió al espíritu inmundo, diciéndole: «Espíritu mudo y sordo, Yo te ordeno: sal de él y no vuelvas a entrar en él».

26 Después de gritar y de sacudirlo con terribles convulsiones, el espíritu salió: y el muchacho quedó como muerto, tanto, que la mayoría de ellos decían: «¡Está muerto!». 27 Pero Jesús, tomándolo de la mano, lo levantó, y él se puso en pie. 28 Cuando Jesús entro en casa(R), Sus discípulos le preguntaban en privado: «¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos expulsarlo?». 29 Jesús les dijo: «Esta clase con nada puede salir, sino con oración[o]».

Jesús anuncia otra vez Su muerte

30 (S)Saliendo de allí, iban pasando por Galilea, y Él no quería que nadie lo supiera. 31 Porque enseñaba a Sus discípulos, y les decía: «El Hijo del Hombre será entregado en manos de los hombres y lo matarán; y después de muerto, a los tres días resucitará(T)». 32 Pero ellos no entendían lo que les decía[p](U), y tenían miedo de preguntar a Jesús.

El mayor en el reino de los cielos

33 (V)Llegaron a Capernaúm; y estando ya en la casa, Jesús les preguntaba: «¿Qué discutían por el camino?». 34 Pero ellos guardaron silencio, porque en el camino habían discutido entre sí quién de ellos era el mayor(W). 35 Jesús se sentó, llamó a los doce discípulos y les dijo*: «Si alguien desea ser el primero, será[q]el último de todos y el servidor de todos(X)». 36 Tomando a un niño, lo puso en medio de ellos; y tomándolo en los brazos les dijo: 37 «El que reciba a un niño como este[r]en Mi nombre, me recibe a Mí; y el que me recibe a Mí, no me recibe a Mí, sino a Aquel que me envió(Y)».

Recompensas y advertencias

38 «(Z)Maestro», dijo Juan, «vimos a uno echando fuera demonios en Tu nombre, y tratamos de impedírselo, porque no nos seguía». 39 Pero Jesús dijo: «No se lo impidan, porque no hay nadie que haga un milagro en Mi nombre, y que pueda enseguida hablar mal de Mí. 40 Pues el que no está contra nosotros, por nosotros[s]está(AA). 41 Porque cualquiera que les dé a ustedes a beber un vaso de agua, por razón de[t]su nombre como seguidores de Cristo, en verdad les digo que no perderá su recompensa(AB). 42 Cualquiera que haga pecar[u]a uno de estos pequeñitos que creen en Mí, mejor le fuera si le hubieran atado[v]al cuello una piedra de molino de las que mueve un asno, y lo hubieran echado al mar(AC).

43 »Si tu mano te es ocasión de pecar[w] , córtala; te es mejor entrar en la vida manco, que teniendo las dos manos ir al infierno[x](AD) , al fuego que no se apaga(AE) , 44 [y]donde el gusano de ellos no muere, y el fuego no se apaga. 45 Y si tu pie te es ocasión de pecar, córtalo; te es mejor entrar cojo a la vida, que teniendo los dos pies ser echado al infierno[z](AF), 46 [aa]donde el gusano de ellos no muere, y el fuego no se apaga. 47 Y si tu ojo te es ocasión de pecar, sácatelo; te es mejor entrar al reino de Dios con un solo ojo, que teniendo dos ojos ser echado al infierno[ab](AG), 48 donde el gusano de ellos no muere(AH), y el fuego no se apaga(AI). 49 Porque todos serán salados con fuego[ac]. 50 La sal es buena; pero si la sal se vuelve insípida, ¿con qué la sazonarán(AJ)? Tengan sal en ustedes(AK)y estén en paz los unos con los otros(AL)».

Mark 9
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

9 1 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the kingdom of God has come with[a] power.”

The Transfiguration

2 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one[b] on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings,[c] one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, the Beloved;[d] listen to him!” 8 Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus.

The Coming of Elijah

9 As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead could mean. 11 Then they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12 He said to them, “Elijah is indeed coming first to restore all things. How then is it written about the Son of Man, that he is to go through many sufferings and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written about him.”

The Healing of a Boy with a Spirit

14 When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them. 15 When the whole crowd saw him, they were immediately overcome with awe, and they ran forward to greet him. 16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” 17 Someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought you my son; he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak; 18 and whenever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they could not do so.” 19 He answered them, “You faithless generation, how much longer must I be among you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him to me.” 20 And they brought the boy[e] to him. When the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy,[f] and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. 21 Jesus[g] asked the father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 It has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us.” 23 Jesus said to him, “If you are able!—All things can be done for the one who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out,[h] “I believe; help my unbelief!” 25 When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You spirit that keeps this boy from speaking and hearing, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!” 26 After crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he was able to stand. 28 When he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” 29 He said to them, “This kind can come out only through prayer.”[i]

Jesus Again Foretells His Death and Resurrection

30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it; 31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again.” 32 But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him.

Who Is the Greatest?

33 Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” 34 But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. 35 He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” 36 Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”

Another Exorcist

38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone[j] casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 Whoever is not against us is for us. 41 For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward.

Temptations to Sin

42 “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me,[k] it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and to go to hell,[l] to the unquenchable fire.[m] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and to be thrown into hell.[n][o] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell,[p] 48 where their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.

49 “For everyone will be salted with fire.[q] 50 Salt is good; but if salt has lost its saltiness, how can you season it?[r] Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

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

“‘the worms that eat them do not die,
    and the fire is not quenched.’[d](AT)

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)
