New American Standard Bible 1995

The Transfiguration

9 And Jesus was saying to them, “(A)Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

2 (B)Six days later, Jesus *took with Him (C)Peter and [a]James and John, and *brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; 3 and (D)His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Peter *said to Jesus, “(E)Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; (F)let us make three [b]tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified. 7 Then a cloud [c]formed, overshadowing them, and (G)a voice [d]came out of the cloud, “(H)This is My beloved Son, [e]listen to Him!” 8 All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.

9 (I)As they were coming down from the mountain, He (J)gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, [f]until the Son of Man rose from the dead. 10 They [g]seized upon [h]that statement, discussing with one another [i]what rising from the dead meant. 11 They asked Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that (K)Elijah must come first?” 12 And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of (L)the Son of Man that (M)He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that Elijah has [j]indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”

All Things Possible

14 (N)When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them. 15 Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were (O)amazed and began running up to greet Him. 16 And He asked them, “What are you discussing with them?” 17 And one of the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute; 18 and [k]whenever it seizes him, it [l]slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and [m]stiffens out. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it.” 19 And He *answered them and *said, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!” 20 They brought [n]the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. 21 And He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!” 23 And Jesus said to him, “‘If You can?’ (P)All things are possible to him who believes.” 24 Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.” 25 When Jesus saw that (Q)a crowd was [o]rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You deaf and mute spirit, I [p]command you, come out of him and do not enter him [q]again.” 26 After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, “He is dead!” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he got up. 28 When He came (R)into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, “Why could we not drive it out?” 29 And He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer.”

Death and Resurrection Foretold

30 (S)From there they went out and began to go through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know about it. 31 For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “(T)The Son of Man is to be [r]delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.” 32 But (U)they [s]did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

33 (V)They came to Capernaum; and when He [t]was in (W)the house, He began to question them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the way (X)they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest. 35 Sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, “(Y)If anyone wants to be first, [u]he shall be last of all and servant of all.” 36 Taking a child, He set him [v]before them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them, 37 “(Z)Whoever receives [w]one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”

Dire Warnings

38 (AA)John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and (AB)we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. 40 (AC)For he who is not against us is [x]for us. 41 For (AD)whoever gives you a cup of water to drink [y]because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.

42 “(AE)Whoever causes one of these [z]little ones who believe to stumble, it [aa]would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he [ab]had been cast into the sea. 43 (AF)If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into [ac](AG)hell, into the (AH)unquenchable fire, 44 [[ad]where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] 45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into [ae](AI)hell, 46 [[af]where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] 47 (AJ)If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into [ag](AK)hell, 48 (AL)where their worm does not die, and (AM)the fire is not quenched.

49 “For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good; but (AN)if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you [ah]make it salty again? (AO)Have salt in yourselves, and (AP)be at peace with one another.”

Marcos 9
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version

9 Depois Jesus lhes disse:

—Digo a verdade a vocês: Alguns dos que estão aqui presentes não morrerão antes de ver a vinda poderosa do reino de Deus.

A transfiguração de Jesus

(Mt 17.1-13; Lc 9.28-36)

2 Seis dias depois Jesus levou Pedro, Tiago e João em privado para um alto monte. Ali Jesus mudou a sua apariência diante deles: 3 a sua roupa ficou brilhante de tão branca que nenhum lavadeiro na terra poderia branqueá-la daquela forma. 4 Moisés e Elias também apareceram e começaram a conversar com Jesus. 5 Pedro, então, disse a Jesus:

—Mestre, é bom que nós estejamos aqui. Vamos fazer três tendas: uma para o senhor, uma para Moisés e outra para Elias. 6 (Ele não sabia o que dizer, pois estavam todos com muito medo.) 7 Então, uma nuvem veio do céu e cobriu a todos com sua sombra e uma voz, vinda da nuvem, dizia:

—Este é o meu Filho querido. Ouçam-no!

8 E, de repente, quando olharam ao redor deles, não viram mais ninguém com eles, a não ser Jesus. 9 Depois, enquanto estavam descendo o monte, Jesus lhes ordenou que não contassem a ninguém a respeito das coisas que tinham visto até que o Filho do Homem ressuscitasse dos mortos. 10 Eles guardaram para si o que tinha acontecido, mas se perguntavam uns aos outros o que seria a “ressurreição dos mortos”. 11 E lhe fizeram esta pergunta:

—Por que é que os professores da lei dizem que Elias deve vir primeiro?[a]

12 E Jesus lhes respondeu:

—É verdade que Elias virá primeiro para colocar todas as coisas em ordem. Mas então, por que está escrito que o Filho do Homem tem que sofrer muito e ser desprezado? 13 Eu lhes digo que Elias já veio e que já fizeram com ele tudo o que quiseram, exatamente como está escrito a seu respeito.

Jesus cura um rapaz possuído por um demônio

(Mt 17.14-20; Lc 9.37-43a)

14 Quando chegaram perto do lugar onde os outros discípulos estavam, viram uma grande multidão ao redor deles. Viram também que os professores da lei estavam discutindo com eles. 15 Assim que as pessoas da multidão o viram, ficaram surpresas e correram para cumprimentá-lo. 16 Ele então lhes perguntou:

—O que vocês estão discutindo com eles?

17 Um homem que estava no meio da multidão respondeu:

—Mestre, eu trouxe o meu filho para que o senhor o visse, pois ele está possuído por um demônio que não permite que ele fale. 18 Quando esse demônio o ataca, atirando-o no chão, ele espuma pela boca, range os dentes e o seu corpo se torna rígido. Pedi aos seus discípulos para expulsarem o demônio, mas eles não conseguiram.

19 Jesus, então, disse:

—Gente[b] sem fé! Até quando tenho que estar entre vocês? Até quando terei que tolerá-los? Tragam o menino até aqui.

20 E eles o levaram. Quando o demônio viu a Jesus, ele imediatamente sacudiu o garoto com força, fazendo com que rolasse no chão e espumasse pela boca. 21 Jesus perguntou ao pai do rapaz:

—Há quanto tempo o garoto está assim?

E ele respondeu:

—Desde criança.

22 Muitas vezes esse demônio o atira no fogo ou na água para matá-lo. Se o senhor puder fazer alguma coisa, tenha compaixão de nós e ajude-nos. 23 Jesus lhe disse:

—Você disse: “Se o senhor puder”. Tudo é possível para quem tem fé.

24 E imediatamente o pai do rapaz gritou, dizendo:

—Eu tenho fé! Ajude-me a ter mais fé!

25 Quando Jesus viu que uma multidão estava se juntando rapidamente ao redor deles, repreendeu o demônio e lhe disse:

—Eu ordeno, demônio surdo e mudo, que saia deste menino e nunca mais entre nele!

26 O demônio, então, gritando, sacudiu o rapaz com violentas convulsões e saiu dele, deixando-o como morto. A maioria das pessoas dizia que o rapaz tinha morrido. 27 Mas Jesus o pegou pela mão, ajudou-o a se levantar e ele ficou de pé.

28 Depois que Jesus chegou a casa, seus discípulos lhe perguntaram em particular:

—Por que nós não conseguimos expulsar aquele demônio?

29 E Jesus lhes respondeu:

—Esse tipo somente pode ser expulso por meio da oração.[c]

Jesus fala de sua morte pela segunda vez

(Mt 17.22-23; Lc 9.43b-45)

30 Jesus e seus discípulos saíram dali e viajaram através da região da Galileia. Jesus não queria que ninguém soubesse onde eles estavam, 31 pois queria ensinar os seus discípulos. E lhes disse:

—O Filho do Homem está prestes a ser entregue nas mãos dos homens. Eles o matarão, mas ele ressuscitará depois de três dias.

32 Os discípulos não entenderam o que Jesus estava dizendo, mas ficaram com medo de perguntar.

Quem é o mais importante de todos?

(Mt 18.1-5; Lc 9.46-48)

33 Depois foram para a cidade de Cafarnaum. Logo que chegaram em casa, Jesus lhes perguntou:

—O que é que vocês estavam discutindo no caminho?

34 Eles, porém, não responderam nada, pois durante a viagem tinham discutido a respeito de qual deles seria o mais importante de todos. 35 Então, sentando-se, ele chamou os doze e disse:

—Se alguém quiser ser o primeiro, deve ser o último e deve servir a todos.

36 Depois, pegou uma criança e a colocou no meio deles. A seguir, abraçou-a e lhes disse:

37 —Qualquer pessoa que receber uma criança em meu nome, recebe a mim; e quem me recebe, não recebe somente a mim, mas também aquele que me enviou.

Quem não está contra nós está a nosso favor

(Lc 9.49-50)

38 João lhe disse:

—Mestre, vimos um homem expulsando demônios em teu nome, mas nós o proibimos porque ele não é do nosso grupo.

39 Mas Jesus explicou:

—Não o proíbam, pois não há ninguém que faça um milagre em meu nome e logo a seguir possa falar mal de mim. 40 Pois, quem não está contra nós, está a nosso favor. 41 Digo a verdade a vocês: Se alguém lhes der um copo de água por vocês pertencerem a Cristo, com toda a certeza receberá a sua recompensa.

Jesus alerta sobre o perigo do pecado

(Mt 18.6-9; Lc 17.1-2)

42 —Se alguém fizer com que um destes pequeninos que tem fé em mim peque, seria melhor para essa pessoa que ela fosse jogada ao mar com uma enorme pedra amarrada ao pescoço. 43 Se a tua mão faz com que você peque, corte-a fora, pois é melhor entrar para a vida eterna sem uma das mãos do que ter as duas mãos e ir para o inferno, para o fogo que nunca se apaga. 44 [d] 45 E se o teu pé faz com que você peque, corte-o fora. Pois é melhor entrar para a vida eterna aleijado do que ser jogado no inferno com os dois pés. 46 [e] 47 E se o teu olho faz com que você peque, arranque-o fora. Pois é melhor entrar no reino de Deus somente com um olho do que, tendo os dois, ser jogado no inferno, 48 onde os vermes nunca morrem e o fogo nunca se apaga. 49 Todos serão castigados[f] com fogo.

50 O sal é bom, mas se perder o seu sabor, como é possível restaurar esse sabor? Desenvolvam boas qualidades em vocês mesmos e vivam em paz uns com os outros.

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)
