And kai he said legō to them autos, “ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, there are eimi some tis standing histēmi here hōde · ho who hostis will not ou mē taste geuomai death thanatos until heōs an they see the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos having come erchomai with en power dynamis.”

And kai after meta six hex days hēmera Jesus Iēsous took paralambanō · ho with him · ho Peter Petros and kai · ho James Iakōbos and kai · ho John Iōannēs, and kai led anapherō them autos up eis a high hypsēlos mountain oros by themselves kata. And kai he was transfigured metamorphoō before emprosthen them autos, and kai · ho his autos clothes himation became ginomai radiant stilbō, intensely lian white leukos, as hoios no ou launderer gnapheus on epi · ho earth could dynamai bleach leukainō them. And kai Elijah ēlias appeared horaō to them autos with syn Moses Mōysēs, and kai they were eimi talking syllaleō with · ho Jesus Iēsous. And kai answering apokrinomai, · ho Peter Petros said legō to ho Jesus Iēsous, “ Rabbi rhabbi, it is eimi good kalos that we hēmeis are eimi here hōde. · kai Let us make poieō three treis shelters skēnē: one heis for you sy and kai one heis for Moses Mōysēs and kai one heis for Elijah ēlias”— for gar he did not ou know oida what tis he should reply apokrinomai, because gar they were ginomai so frightened ekphobos. Then kai a cloud nephelē appeared ginomai, overshadowing episkiazō them autos, and kai a voice phōnē came ginomai out ek of the ho cloud nephelē, “ This houtos is eimi · ho my egō Son hyios, the ho beloved agapētos, listen akouō to him autos!” And kai suddenly exapina, looking periblepō around , they no longer ouketi saw anyone oudeis, but alla only monos · ho Jesus Iēsous with meta them heautou.

And kai as they autos were coming katabainō down from ek the ho mountain oros, he ordered diastellō them autos not to hina tell diēgeomai anyone mēdeis what hos they had seen, until ei mē the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos should rise anistēmi from ek the dead nekros. 10 So kai they kept krateō this ho saying logos to pros themselves heautou, questioning syzēteō what tis the ho rising anistēmi of ek the dead nekros could eimi mean . 11 And kai they asked eperōtaō him autos, saying legō, “ Why hoti do the ho scribes grammateus say legō, ‘ Elijah ēlias must dei come erchomai first prōton’?” 12 And de he ho said phēmi to them autos, “ Elijah ēlias does come erchomai first prōton, and restores apokathistēmi all pas things . Yet kai how pōs is it written graphō about epi the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos? That hina he should suffer paschō many things polys and kai be treated exoudeneō with contempt ? 13 But alla I tell legō you hymeis that hoti · kai Elijah ēlias has come erchomai, and kai they did poieō to him autos whatever hosos they pleased thelō, just kathōs as it is written graphō about epi him autos.”

14 And kai when they came erchomai to pros the ho disciples mathētēs, they saw a large polys crowd ochlos around peri them autos, and kai scribes grammateus arguing syzēteō with pros them autos. 15 And kai immediately the ho entire pas crowd ochlos, when they saw him autos, were greatly amazed ekthambeō, and kai running prostrechō up to him, they greeted aspazomai him autos. 16 And kai he asked eperōtaō them autos, “ What tis are you arguing syzēteō about with pros them autos?” 17 And kai one heis of ek the ho crowd ochlos answered apokrinomai him autos, “ Teacher didaskalos, I brought pherō · ho my egō son hyios to pros you sy, who has echō a mute alalos spirit pneuma. 18 And kai whenever hopou ean it seizes katalambanō him autos, it throws rhēssō him autos down , and kai he foams aphrizō at the mouth and kai grinds trizō his ho teeth odous and kai becomes xērainō rigid . So kai I asked legō · ho your sy disciples mathētēs to hina cast ekballō it autos out ekballō, but kai they were not ou able ischuō.” 19 Answering apokrinomai them autos he ho · de said legō, “ O ō unbelieving apistos generation genea! How heōs long pote must I be eimi with pros you hymeis? How heōs long pote must I put anechōmai up with you hymeis? Bring pherō him autos to pros me egō.” 20 And kai they brought pherō the boy autos to pros him autos. And kai when the ho spirit pneuma saw him autos, immediately it convulsed sysparassō him autos; and kai falling piptō on epi the ho ground , the boy began to roll kyliō about , foaming aphrizō at the mouth . 21 And kai Jesus asked eperōtaō · ho his autos father patēr, “ How posos long chronos has eimi this hōs houtos been happening ginomai to him autos?” And de he ho said legō, “ Since ek childhood paidiothen; 22 indeed kai frequently pollakis it has ballō even kai cast ballō him autos into eis fire pyr and kai into eis water hydōr to hina destroy apollymi him autos. But alla if ei you can do dynamai anything tis, have compassion splanchnizomai on epi us hēmeis and help boētheō us hēmeis.” 23 · ho And de Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho “‘ If ei you can dynamai’! All pas things are possible dynatos for the ho one who has faith pisteuō.” 24 Immediately the ho father patēr of the ho boy paidion cried out krazō and said legō, “ I believe pisteuō; help boētheō my egō · ho unbelief apistia!” 25 When Jesus Iēsous saw · de · ho that hoti a crowd ochlos was quickly gathering episyntrechō, he rebuked epitimaō the ho unclean akathartos spirit pneuma, · ho saying legō to it autos, · ho Mute alalos and kai deaf kōphos spirit pneuma, I egō command epitassō you sy, come exerchomai out ek of him autos and kai never mēketi enter eiserchomai eis him autos again!” 26 · kai After crying krazō out and kai convulsing sparassō him violently polys, the spirit came exerchomai out ; and kai the boy was ginomai like hōsei a corpse nekros, so hōste that · ho many polys were saying legō, “ He is dead apothnēskō.” 27 · ho But de Jesus Iēsous, taking krateō him autos by the ho hand cheir, lifted egeirō him autos up, and kai he stood anistēmi up . 28 And kai when he autos had entered eiserchomai the house oikos, · ho his autos disciples mathētēs asked eperōtaō him autos in private kata, “ Why hoti were we hēmeis not ou able dynamai to cast ekballō it autos out ?” 29 And kai he said legō to them autos, “ This houtos · ho kind genos cannot en oudeis come exerchomai out except ei mē by en prayer proseuchē.”

30 And kakeithen leaving exerchomai there, they went paraporeuomai on through dia · ho Galilee Galilaia. And kai Jesus did not ou want thelō anyone tis to know ginōskō about it; 31 for gar he was teaching didaskō · ho his autos disciples mathētēs and kai saying legō to them autos, “ The ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is going to be delivered paradidōmi into eis the hands cheir of men anthrōpos, and kai they will kill apokteinō him autos. Then kai three treis days hēmera after meta he has been killed apokteinō, he will rise anistēmi. 32 But de they ho did not understand agnoeō the ho saying rhēma, and kai they were afraid phobeomai to ask eperōtaō him autos.

33 And kai they came erchomai to eis Capernaum Kapharnaoum; and kai when he was ginomai in en the ho house oikia, he asked eperōtaō them autos, “ What tis were you discussing dialogizomai on en the ho way hodos?” 34 But de they ho kept silent siōpaō, for gar on en the ho way hodos they had argued dialegomai among pros themselves allēlōn about who tis was the greatest megas. 35 And kai sitting kathizō down , he called phōneō the ho twelve dōdeka and kai said legō to them autos, “ If ei anyone tis would thelō be eimi first prōtos, he must be eimi last eschatos of all pas and kai servant diakonos of all pas.” 36 And kai taking lambanō a child paidion, he put histēmi him autos in en the midst mesos of them autos, and kai taking enankalizomai him autos in his arms, he said legō to them autos, 37  Whoever hos an receives dechomai one heis of ho these toioutos children paidion in epi · ho my egō name onoma, receives dechomai me egō; and kai whoever hos an receives dechomai me egō, receives dechomai not ou me egō but alla the ho one who sent apostellō me egō.”

38 John Iōannēs said phēmi to him autos, · ho Teacher didaskalos, we saw someone tis casting out ekballō demons daimonion in en · ho your sy name onoma, and kai we tried to stop kōlyō him autos because hoti he was not ou following akoloutheō us hēmeis.” 39 · ho But de Jesus Iēsous said legō, “ Do not stop kōlyō him autos, for gar there is eimi no one oudeis who hos will do poieō a mighty work dynamis in epi · ho my egō name onoma and kai be able dynamai soon tachus after to speak kakologeō evil of me egō. 40 For gar whoever hos is eimi not ou against kata us hēmeis is eimi for hyper us hēmeis. 41 For gar I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, whoever hos gives you hymeis a cup potērion of water hydōr to drink potizō because hoti you bear eimi the name onoma of Christ Christos will most certainly not ou lose apollymi · ho his autos reward misthos.

42  And kai whoever hos an causes skandalizō one heis of ho these houtos little mikros ones who ho believe pisteuō in eis me egō to sin, it would be eimi better kalos for him autos if ei a large onikos millstone mylos were hung perikeimai around peri · ho his autos neck trachēlos and kai he were thrown ballō into eis the ho sea thalassa. 43 And kai if ean your sy hand cheir causes skandalizō you sy to sin, · ho cut apokoptō it autos off; it is eimi better kalos for you sy to enter eiserchomai into eis · ho life zōē crippled kyllos than ē having echō · ho two dyo hands cheir to go aperchomai to eis · ho hell geenna, to eis the ho unquenchable asbestos fire pyr. · ho 45 And kai if ean · ho your sy foot pous causes skandalizō you sy to sin, cut apokoptō it autos off; it is eimi better kalos for you sy to enter eiserchomai into eis · ho life zōē lame chōlos than ē having echō · ho two dyo feet pous to be cast ballō into eis · ho hell geenna. 47 And kai if ean · ho your sy eye ophthalmos causes skandalizō you sy to sin, throw ekballō it autos away; it is eimi better kalos for you sy to enter eiserchomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos having one eye monophthalmos than ē having echō two dyo eyes ophthalmos to be cast ballō into eis · ho hell geenna, 48 where hopou · ho their autos worm skōlēx does not ou die teleutaō, and kai the ho fire pyr is not ou quenched sbennymi.’ 49 For gar everyone pas will be salted halizō with fire pyr. 50 Salt halas is good kalos, · ho but de if ean the ho salt halas has become ginomai unsalty analos, with en what tis will you make it autos savory artyō?

And he said to them, “Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”

The Transfiguration

And after six days, Jesus took along Peter and James and John, and led them to a high mountain by themselves alone. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothing became radiant—extremely white, like no cloth refiner on earth can make so white.[a] And Elijah appeared to them together with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter answered and[b] said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here! And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (For he did not know what he should answer, because they were terrified.) And a cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!” And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus alone.

And as[c] they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one the things that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 And they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead meant.[d] 11 And they asked him, saying, “Why do[e] the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12 And he said to them, “Elijah indeed does come first and[f] restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”

A Demon-possessed Boy Healed

14 And when they[g] came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them. 15 And immediately the whole crowd, when they[h] saw him, were amazed, and ran up to him[i] and[j] greeted him. 16 And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” 17 And one individual from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought to you my son who has a spirit that makes him mute.[k] 18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down and he foams at the mouth and grinds his[l] teeth and becomes paralyzed. And I told your disciples that they should expel it, and they were not able to do so.[m] 19 And he answered them and[n] said, “O unbelieving generation! How long[o] will I be with you? How long[p] must I put up with you? Bring him to me!” 20 And they brought him to him. And when he[q] saw him, the spirit immediately convulsed him, and falling on the ground, he began to roll around, foaming at the mouth. 21 And he asked his father how long it was since this had been happening to him. And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often it has thrown him both into fire and into water, in order that it could destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have compassion on us and[r] help us!” 23 But Jesus said to him, “If you are able! All things are possible for the one who believes!” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and[s] said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!” 25 Now when[t] Jesus saw that a crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more!” 26 And it came out, screaming and convulsing him[u] greatly, and he became as if he were dead, so that most of them said, “He has died!” 27 But Jesus took hold of his hand and[v] raised him up, and he stood up. 28 And after[w] he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why were we not able to expel it?” 29 And he said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer.”[x]

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection a Second Time

30 And from there they went out and[y] passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know, 31 for he was teaching his disciples and was telling them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he[z] is killed, after three days he will rise.” 32 But they did not understand the statement, and they were afraid to ask him.

The Question About Who Is Greatest

33 And they came to Capernaum. And after he[aa] was in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they were silent, because they had argued with one another on the way about who was greatest. 35 And he sat down and[ab] called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.” 36 And he took a young child and[ac] had him stand among them.[ad] And taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one of the young children such as these in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but the one who sent me.”

Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us

38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone expelling demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not prevent him, because there is no one who does a miracle in my name and will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 For whoever is not against us is for us. 41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you that he will never lose his reward.

Temptations to Sin

42 “And whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it is better for him if instead a large millstone[ae] is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea. 43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than, having two hands, to go into hell—into the unquenchable fire![af] 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life lame than, having two feet, to be thrown into hell![ag] 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to be thrown into hell, 48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not extinguished.’[ah] 49 For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good, but if the salt becomes deprived of its salt content, by what can you make it salty? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
