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 when it has come with power.”

2 (B)And six days later Jesus *took with Him (C)Peter, [a]James, and John, and *brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was [b]transfigured before them; 3 and (D)His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Peter responded and *said to Jesus, “(E)Rabbi, it is good that we are here; (F)let’s make three [c]tabernacles, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know how to reply; for they became terrified. 7 Then a cloud [d]formed, overshadowing them, and (G)a voice [e]came out of the cloud: “(H)This is My beloved Son; [f]listen to Him!” 8 And suddenly 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, [g]until the Son of Man rose from the dead. 10 They [h]seized upon [i]that statement, discussing with one another [j]what rising from the dead meant. 11 And 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 come first and he restores 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 [k]indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written of him.”

All Things Possible

14 (N)And when they came back to the other 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 disputing with them?” 17 And one person from the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, because he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak; 18 and [l]whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes stiff. And I told Your disciples so that they would cast it out, but 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 And they brought [m]the boy to Him. When he saw Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions, 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 kill him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!” 23 But Jesus said to him, “‘If You can?’ (P)All things are possible for the one 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 [n]rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I [o]command you, come out of him and do not enter him [p]again!” 26 And 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 asking Him privately, “Why is it that we could not cast it out?” 29 And He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by anything except prayer.”

Death and Resurrection Foretold

30 (S)And 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 [q]handed over to men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.” 32 But (U)they [r]did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

33 (V)They came to Capernaum; and when He 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 And sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, “(Y)If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” 36 And He took a child and placed him among them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them, 37 “(Z)Whoever [s]receives [t]one child like this in My name [u]receives Me; and whoever [v]receives Me does not [w]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 the one 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 shall by no means lose his reward.

42 “(AE)Whoever causes one of these [z]little ones who believe in Me to [aa]sin, it is better for him if a heavy millstone is hung around his neck and he [ab]is thrown into the sea. 43 And (AF)if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed, than, having your two hands, to go into [ac](AG)hell, into the (AH)unquenchable fire.[ad] 45 And if your foot is causing you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life without a foot, than, having your two feet, to be thrown into [ae](AI)hell.[af] 47 And (AJ)if your eye is causing you to sin, throw it away; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be thrown into [ag](AK)hell, 48 (AL)where their worm does not die, and (AM)the fire is not extinguished. 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
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)

9 Y añadió:

―Os aseguro que algunos de los aquí presentes no sufrirán la muerte sin antes haber visto el reino de Dios llegar con poder.

La transfiguración(A)(B)

2 Seis días después Jesús tomó consigo a Pedro, a Jacobo y a Juan, y los llevó a una montaña alta, donde estaban solos. Allí se transfiguró en presencia de ellos. 3 Su ropa se volvió de un blanco resplandeciente como nadie en el mundo podría blanquearla. 4 Y se les aparecieron Elías y Moisés, los cuales conversaban con Jesús. 5 Tomando la palabra, Pedro le dijo a Jesús:

―Rabí, ¡qué bien que estemos aquí! Podemos levantar tres tiendas: una para ti, otra para Moisés y otra para Elías.

6 No sabía qué decir, porque todos estaban asustados. 7 Entonces apareció una nube que los envolvió, de la cual salió una voz que dijo: «Este es mi Hijo amado. ¡Escuchadle!»

8 De repente, cuando miraron a su alrededor, no vieron a nadie más que a Jesús.

9 Mientras bajaban de la montaña, Jesús les ordenó que no contaran a nadie lo que habían visto hasta que el Hijo del hombre se levantara de entre los muertos. 10 Guardaron el secreto, pero discutían entre ellos qué significaría eso de «levantarse de entre los muertos».

11 ―¿Por qué dicen los maestros de la ley que Elías tiene que venir primero? —le preguntaron.

12 ―Sin duda, Elías ha de venir primero para restaurar todas las cosas —respondió Jesús—. Pero, entonces, ¿cómo es que está escrito que el Hijo del hombre tiene que sufrir mucho y ser rechazado? 13 Pues bien, os digo que Elías ya ha venido, y le hicieron todo lo que quisieron, tal como está escrito de él.

Jesús sana a un muchacho endemoniado(C)

14 Cuando llegaron adonde estaban los otros discípulos, vieron[a] que a su alrededor había mucha gente y que los maestros de la ley discutían con ellos. 15 Tan pronto como la gente vio a Jesús, todos se sorprendieron y corrieron a saludarlo.

16 ―¿Qué estáis discutiendo con ellos? —les preguntó.

17 ―Maestro —respondió un hombre de entre la multitud—, te he traído a mi hijo, pues está poseído por un espíritu que le ha quitado el habla. 18 Cada vez que se apodera de él, lo derriba. Echa espumarajos, cruje los dientes y se queda rígido. Pedí a tus discípulos que expulsaran al espíritu, pero no lo lograron.

19 ―¡Ah, generación incrédula! —respondió Jesús—. ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que estar con vosotros? ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que soportaros? Traedme al muchacho.

20 Así que se lo llevaron. Tan pronto como vio a Jesús, el espíritu sacudió de tal modo al muchacho que este cayó al suelo y comenzó a revolcarse echando espumarajos.

21 ―¿Cuánto tiempo hace que le pasa esto? —le preguntó Jesús al padre.

―Desde que era niño —contestó—. 22 Muchas veces lo ha echado al fuego y al agua para matarlo. Si puedes hacer algo, ten compasión de nosotros y ayúdanos.

23 ―¿Cómo que si puedo? Para el que cree, todo es posible.

24 ―¡Sí creo! —exclamó de inmediato el padre del muchacho—. ¡Ayúdame en mi poca fe!

25 Al ver Jesús que se agolpaba mucha gente, reprendió al espíritu maligno.

―Espíritu sordo y mudo —dijo—, te mando que salgas y que jamás vuelvas a entrar en él.

26 El espíritu, dando un alarido y sacudiendo violentamente al muchacho, salió de él. Este quedó como muerto, tanto que muchos decían: «Se ha muerto». 27 Pero Jesús lo tomó de la mano y lo levantó, y el muchacho se puso de pie.

28 Cuando Jesús entró en casa, sus discípulos le preguntaron en privado:

―¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos expulsarlo?

29 ―Esta clase de demonios solo puede ser expulsada a fuerza de oración[b] —respondió Jesús.

30 Dejaron aquel lugar y pasaron por Galilea. Pero Jesús no quería que nadie lo supiera, 31 porque estaba instruyendo a sus discípulos. Les decía: «El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres. Lo matarán, y a los tres días de muerto resucitará».

32 Pero ellos no entendían lo que quería decir con esto, y no se atrevían a preguntárselo.

¿Quién es el más importante?(D)

33 Llegaron a Capernaún. Cuando ya estaba en casa, Jesús les preguntó:

―¿Qué veníais discutiendo por el camino?

34 Pero ellos se quedaron callados, porque en el camino habían discutido entre sí quién era el más importante.

35 Entonces Jesús se sentó, llamó a los doce y les dijo:

―Si alguno quiere ser el primero, que sea el último de todos y el servidor de todos.

36 Luego tomó a un niño y lo puso en medio de ellos. Abrazándolo, les dijo:

37 ―El que recibe en mi nombre a uno de estos niños me recibe a mí; y el que me recibe a mí no me recibe a mí, sino al que me envió.

El que no está contra nosotros está a favor de nosotros(E)

38 ―Maestro —dijo Juan—, vimos a uno que expulsaba demonios en tu nombre y se lo impedimos porque no es de los nuestros.[c]

39 ―No se lo impidáis —replicó Jesús—. Nadie que haga un milagro en mi nombre puede a la vez hablar mal de mí. 40 El que no está contra nosotros está a favor de nosotros. 41 Os aseguro que cualquiera que os dé un vaso de agua en mi nombre por ser vosotros de Cristo no perderá su recompensa.

El que hace pecar

42 »Pero, si alguien hace pecan a uno de estos pequeños que creen en mí, más le valdría que le ataran al cuello una piedra de molino y lo arrojaran al mar. 43 Si tu mano te hace pecar, córtatela. Más te vale entrar en la vida manco que ir con las dos manos al infierno,[d] donde el fuego nunca se apaga.[e] 45 Y, si tu pie te hace pecar, córtatelo. Más te vale entrar en la vida cojo que ser arrojado con los dos pies al infierno.[f] 47 Y, si tu ojo te hace pecar, sácatelo. Más te vale entrar tuerto en el reino de Dios que ser arrojado con los dos ojos al infierno, 48 donde

»“su gusano no muere,
    y el fuego no se apaga”.[g]

49 La sal con que todos serán sazonados es el fuego.

50 »La sal es buena, pero, si deja de ser salada, ¿cómo le pueden volver a dar sabor? Que no falte la sal entre vosotros, para que podáis vivir en paz unos con otros».

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)
