The Transfiguration of Christ(A)

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

(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. His clothes became shining, exceedingly (E)white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 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”— because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

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!” Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

(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

(AT)‘Their worm does not die
And the (AU)fire is not quenched.’

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.”

Wuxuu iyaga ku yidhi, Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Kuwa halkan taagan qaarkood sinaba dhimasho uma dhadhamin doonaan ilaa ay arkaan boqortooyada Ilaah oo xoog ku imanaysa.

Ciise Muuqiisu Waa Isbeddelay(A)

Lix maalmood dabadeed Ciise wuxuu waday Butros iyo Yacquub iyo Yooxanaa; oo wuxuu keligood geeyey buur dheer, hortoodana ayuu ku beddelmay. Dharkiisu aad buu caddaan ula dhalaalay sidii midka dhulka wax ku caddeeya aanu u caddayn karin. Markaasaa waxaa iyaga u muuqday Eliyaas iyo Muuseba, waxayna la hadlayeen Ciise. Markaasaa Butros la hadlay oo Ciise ku yidhi, Macallimow, waxaa inoo wanaagsan inaynu halkan joogno. Saddex waab aannu ka dhisno, mid adaan kuu dhisaynaa, midna Muuse, midna Eliyaas. Waayo, ma uu garanaynin wuxuu ku jawaabo, maxaa yeelay, aad bay u baqeen. Kolkaasaa waxaa timid daruur oo iyaga hadhaynaysa, daruurtiina waxaa ka yimid cod leh, Kanu waa Wiilkayga aan jeclahay ee maqla isaga. Dhaqsiba goortii ay hareerahooda fiiriyeen, mar dambe ma ay arkin cid kale oo iyaga la joogta Ciise keliya maahee.

Markay buurta ka soo degayeen, wuxuu ku amray inaanay ninna u sheegin waxay arkeen intaanu Wiilkii Aadanahu kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kicin. 10 Dhexdoodii ayay hadalkii haysteen oo iska weyddiinayeen, Waa maxay ka soo sara kiciddii kuwii dhintay? 11 Markaasay waxay weyddiiyeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Culimmadu maxay u yidhaahdaan, Eliyaas waa inuu horta yimaado? 12 Markaasuu u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Waa run in Eliyaas horta imanayo oo wax walba soo celinayo. Oo sidee uga qoran tahay xagga Wiilka Aadanaha inuu wax badan ku xanuunsan doono oo la nici doono? 13 Laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Eliyaas waa yimid, oo wax kasta oo ay doonayeen ayay ku sameeyeen siday uga qoran tahay.

Wiilkii Jinnigii Qabay Waa La Bogsiiyey(B)

14 Markay xertii u yimaadeen, waxay arkeen dad faro badan oo la jooga. Culimmaduna wax bay weyddiinayeen. 15 Kolkiiba dadkii badnaa markay isaga arkeen aad bay u yaabeen oo ku soo ordeen oo nabdaadiyeen. 16 Kolkaasuu weyddiiyey, Maxaad isweyddiinaysaan? 17 Markaasaa dadkii badnaa midkood wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Macallimow, waxaan kuu keenay wiilkayga jinni carrab la' qaba. 18 Meel alla meeshuu ku qabtoba, wuu ridaa; markaasuu afka ka xumbeeyaa, wuuna ilka jirriqsadaa oo qallalaa. Waxaan xertaada ka baryay inay ka saaraan, wayna kari waayeen. 19 Markaasuu u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Qarni yahow rumaysadka daranu! Ilaa goormaan idinla jiri doonaa? Ilaa goormaan idiin dulqaadan doonaa? Ii keena isaga. 20 Markaasay u keeneen. Goortuu arkay, kolkiiba jinnigii waa gilgilay; dhulkuuna ku dhacay oo laballegdeeyey isagoo afka ka xumbaynaya. 21 Markaasuu aabbihiis weyddiiyey, Intee buu waxan qabay? Kolkaasuu yidhi, Tan iyo yaraantiisii. 22 Marar badan wuxuu ku tuuray dab iyo biyo inuu dumiyo, laakiin haddaad wax samayn kartid, noo naxariiso oo na caawi. 23 Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddaad rumaysan karaysid, wax waluba waa u suurtoobaan ka rumaysan. 24 Kolkiiba wiilka aabbihiis ayaa qayliyey oo oohin ku yidhi, Sayidow, waan rumaysanahay, iga caawi rumaysaddarradayda.

25 Ciise goortuu arkay dadkii oo u soo ordaya, ayuu jinnigii wasakhda lahaa canaantay oo ku yidhi, Jinni yahow carrabka iyo dhegaha la'u, waxaan kugu amrayaa, Ka soo bax oo kol dambena ha ku noqon. 26 Jinnigii intuu qayliyey, aad buu u gilgilay, kolkaasuu ka soo baxay. Markaasuu wiilku noqday sidii mid dhintay oo kale, sidaa darteeda dad badan baa yidhi, Waa dhintay. 27 Laakiin Ciise ayaa gacanta qabtay oo kiciyey; markaasuu kacay. 28 Ciise goortuu guriga galay, xertiisii waxay gooni ahaan u weyddiiyeen, Annagu maxaannu u saari kari waynay? 29 Wuxuu ku yidhi, Caynkanu wax kale kuma soo bixi karo tukasho iyo soon maahee.

Ciise Baa Mar Labaad Dhimashadiisa Sii Sheegay(C)

30 Markaasay halkaas ka tageen oo Galili dhex mareen, mana uu doonaynin in la ogaado. 31 Waayo, xertiisii ayuu wax barayay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Wiilka Aadanaha ayaa dadka loo gacangelinayaa, wayna dili doonaan oo markii la dilo, saddex maalmood dabadeed, ayuu sara kici doonaa. 32 Laakiin hadalkaas ayay garan waayeen, wayna ka cabsadeen inay weyddiiyaan.

Is Hoosaysiinta(D)

33 Markaasuu yimid Kafarna'um, oo intuu gurigii joogay ayuu weyddiiyey, Maxaad ka wada hadlayseen intaad jidka ku soo socoteen? 34 Laakiin way aamuseen, waayo, intay jidka ku socdeen waxay ka wada hadlayeen kan ugu weyn. 35 Intuu fadhiistay laba-iyo-tobankii ayuu u yeedhay oo ku yidhi, Haddii qof doonayo inuu dadka u horreeyo, isagaa ugu wada dambayn doona, midiidin buuna u wada noqon doonaa. 36 Ilmo yar ayuu qaaday oo dhexdooda joojiyey, oo goortuu gacmihiisii ku soo qaaday ayuu iyaga ku yidhi, 37 Ku alla kii carruurta kan la mid ah midkood magacayga ku aqbalaa, wuu i aqbalaa, oo ku alla kii i aqbalaa, ima aqbalo, wuxuuse aqbalaa kan i soo diray.

Midba Midka Kale Ha U Dulqaato(E)

38 Yooxanaa baa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Macallimow, waxaannu aragnay qof magacaaga jinniyo ku saaraya. Nama uu soo raaco. Waannu u diidnay, waayo, isagu nama uu soo raaco. 39 Laakiin Ciise baa yidhi, Ha u diidina, waayo, ninna ma jiro oo yaab xoog leh magacayga ku sameeyaa oo dhaqso hadal xun iga odhan karaa. 40 Waayo, kan aan inaga gees ahayn waa inala gees. 41 Ku alla kii koob biyo ah magacayga idinku siiyaa, maxaa yeelay, waxaad tihiin kuwa Masiix, runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Abaalkiisuu ka lumi maayoba.

Ciise Wuxuu Ka Digay Inaan Dadka Kale La Xumayn(F)

42 Ku alla kii xumeeya yaryarkan i rumaystay midkood, waxaa u roon in dhagaxshiid luqunta looga lalmiyo oo badda lagu tuuro. 43 Haddii gacantaadu ku xumayso, iska jar; waxaa kuu wanaagsan inaad gacanla'aan nolosha ku gashid intii aad adigoo laba gacmood leh ula tegi lahayd jahannamada ee ah dabkii aan la demin karayn 44 oo ah meeshii dixirigoodu uusan dhimanayn, dabkuna uusan ka demayn. 45 Cagtaaduna hadday ku xumayso, iska jar. Waxaa kuu wanaagsan inaad lugla'aan nolosha ku gashid intii adigoo laba cagood leh lagugu tuuri lahaa jahannamada 46 oo ah meeshii dixirigoodu uusan dhimanayn, dabkuna uusan ka demayn. 47 Haddii ishaadu ku xumayso, iska bixi. Waxaa kuu wanaagsan inaad boqortooyada Ilaah gashid adigoo il keliya leh intii adigoo laba indhood leh lagugu tuuri lahaa jahannamada 48 oo ah meeshii dixirigoodu uusan dhimanayn, dabkuna uusan ka demayn.

Wax Ku Saabsan Cusbada(G)

49 Waayo, mid walba dab baa lagu cusbayn doonaa. 50 Cusbadu waa wanaagsan tahay, laakiin cusbadu hadday dhadhan beesho, maxaad wax ku cusbaynaysaan? Cusbo isku lahaada, nabadna isu ahaada.

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.

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.

And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.

And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

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.

For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

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.
