Mark 9
American Standard Version
9 1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and [a]James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them; 3 and his garments became glistering, exceeding white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten them. 4 And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three [b]tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 6 For he knew not what to answer; for they became sore afraid. 7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear ye him. 8 And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead. 10 And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean. 11 And they asked him, saying, [c]How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come? 12 And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought? 13 But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him.
14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them. 15 And straightway all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 16 And he asked them, What question ye with them? 17 And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit; 18 and wheresoever it taketh him, it [d]dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able. 19 And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me. 20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit [e]tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child. 22 And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. 23 And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth. 24 Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, [f]I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25 And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And having cried out, and [g]torn him much, he came out: and the boy became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose. 28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, [h]How is it that we could not cast it out? 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer[i].
30 And they went forth from 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 [j]delivered up into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he shall rise again. 32 But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were ye reasoning on the way? 34 But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the [k]greatest. 35 And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and [l]servant of all. 36 And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them, 37 Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. 38 John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us. 39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a [m]mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against us is for us. 41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink, [n]because ye are Christ’s, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. 42 And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe [o]on me to stumble, it were better for him if [p]a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43 And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into [q]hell, into the unquenchable fire.[r] 45 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into [s]hell. 47 And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into [t]hell; 48 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 49 For every one shall be salted with fire[u]. 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

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
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)

9 Poi disse loro: «In verità vi dico che vi sono alcuni qui presenti che non gusteranno la morte, senza aver visto il regno di Dio venire con potenza».
2 Sei giorni dopo Gesú prese con sé Pietro, Giacomo e Giovanni e li condusse in disparte, essi soli, sopra un alto monte; e fu trasfigurato davanti a loro.
3 E le sue vesti divennero risplendenti e bianchissime, come neve, piú bianche di ciò che potrebbe fare alcun lavandaio sulla terra.
4 Ed apparve loro Elia con Mosè, i quali conversavano con Gesú.
5 Pietro allora, prendendo la parola, disse a Gesú: «Maestro, è bene per noi stare qui; facciamo dunque tre tende: una per te, una per Mosè e una per Elia!».
6 Egli infatti non sapeva che cosa dire, perché erano spaventati.
7 Venne poi una nuvola che li adombrò; e dalla nuvola uscí una voce che disse: «Questi è il mio amato Figlio; ascoltatelo!».
8 Ed improvvisamente, guardandosi attorno, non videro piú nessuno, se non Gesú tutto solo con loro.
9 Ora, come scendevano dal monte Gesú ordinò loro di non raccontare ad alcuno le cose che avevano visto, fino a quando il Figlio dell'uomo sarebbe risuscitato dai morti.
10 Ed essi tennero per sé quella dichiarazione e discutevano fra di loro che cosa significasse risuscitare dai morti
11 Poi lo interrogarono, dicendo: «Perche gli scribi dicono che prima deve venire Elia?».
12 Ed egli, rispondendo, disse loro: «Elia veramente deve venire prima e ristabilire ogni cosa; ma come sta scritto del Figlio dell'uomo: Egli dovrà soffrire molte cose ed essere disprezzato.
13 Ma io vi dico che Elia è venuto e gli hanno fatto tutto quello che hanno voluto, come era scritto di lui».
14 Ritornato poi dai discepoli, vide una grande folla intorno a loro e degli scribi, che disputavano con loro.
15 E subito tutta la folla, vedutolo, sbigottí e accorse a salutarlo.
16 Allora egli domandò agli scribi: «Di che cosa discutete con loro?».
17 Ed uno della folla, rispondendo, disse: «Maestro, ti avevo condotto mio figlio che ha uno spirito muto,
18 e dovunque lo afferra, lo strazia ed egli schiuma, digrigna i denti e si irrigidisce. Cosí ho detto ai tuoi discepoli di scacciarlo, ma non hanno potuto».
19 Ed egli, rispondendogli, disse: «O generazione incredula, fino a quando sarò con voi? Fino a quando vi sopporterò? portatelo da me».
20 Ed essi glielo portarono. Ma appena lo vide, lo spirito lo scosse con violenza, e il fanciullo, caduto a terra, si rotolava schiumando.
21 E Gesú domandò al padre di lui: «Da quanto tempo gli accade questo?». Ed egli disse: «Dalla sua fanciullezza.
22 E spesso lo ha gettato nel fuoco e nell'acqua per distruggerlo ma, se tu puoi qualcosa, abbi pietà di noi e aiutaci».
23 E Gesú gli disse: «Se tu puoi credere, ogni cosa è possibile a chi crede».
24 Subito il padre del fanciullo, gridando con lacrime, disse: «Io credo Signore, sovvieni alla mia incredulità».
25 Allora Gesú, vedendo accorrere la folla, sgridò lo spirito immondo dicendogli: «Spirito muto e sordo, io te lo comando, esci da lui e non entrare mai piú in lui».
26 E il demone, gridando e straziandolo grandemente, se ne uscí. E il fanciullo divenne come morto, sicché molti dicevano: «E' morto».
27 Ma Gesú, presolo per mano, lo sollevò, ed egli si alzò in piedi.
28 Or quando Gesú fu entrato in casa, i suoi discepoli lo interrogarono in privato: «Perché non abbiamo noi potuto scacciarlo?».
29 Ed egli disse loro: «Questa specie di spiriti non si può scacciare in altro modo, se non con la preghiera e il digiuno».
30 Poi, partiti di là, attraversarono la Galilea; ed egli non voleva che alcuno lo sapesse.
31 Egli infatti ammaestrava i suoi discepoli e diceva loro: «Il Figlio dell'uomo sarà presto dato nelle mani degli uomini ed essi lo uccideranno; ma dopo essere stato ucciso, risusciterà il terzo giorno»
32 Essi però non comprendevano questo parlare e avevano timore di interrogarlo.
33 Giunsero poi a Capernaum, e quando fu in casa, domandò loro: «Di che discutevate fra di voi per la strada?».
34 Ed essi tacquero, perché per via avevano discusso intorno a chi fra di loro fosse il piú grande.
35 Allora, postosi a sedere, egli chiamò i dodici, e disse loro: «Se alcuno vuol essere il primo, sia l'ultimo di tutti e il servo di tutti».
36 E preso un bambino, lo pose in mezzo a loro; poi, presolo in braccio, disse loro:
37 «Chiunque riceve uno di questi bambini nel mio nome, riceve me; e chiunque riceve me, non riceve me, ma colui che mi ha mandato».
38 Allora Giovanni, prendendo la parola, gli disse: «Maestro, noi abbiamo visto un tale che non ci segue scacciare demoni nel tuo nome e glielo abbiamo proibito, perché non ci segue».
39 Ma Gesú disse: «Non glielo proibite, perché nessuno può fare un'opera potente nel nome mio, e subito dopo dire male di me.
40 Poiché chi non è contro di noi, è per noi.
41 Chiunque infatti vi dà da bere un bicchiere d'acqua nel nome mio, perché siete di Cristo, io vi dico in verità che non perderà affatto la sua ricompensa».
42 «E chiunque scandalizzerà uno di questi piccoli che credono in me, sarebbe meglio per lui che gli fosse legata intorno al collo una pietra da mulino e che fosse gettato in mare.
43 Ora, se la tua mano ti è occasione di peccato, tagliala; è meglio per te entrare monco nella vita, che avere due mani e andare nella Geenna, nel fuoco inestinguibile,
44 dove il loro verme non muore e il fuoco non si spegne.
45 E se il tuo piede ti è occasione di peccato, taglialo, è meglio per te entrare zoppo nella vita, che avere due piedi ed essere gettato nella Geenna, nel fuoco inestinguibile,
46 dove il loro verme non muore e il fuoco non si spegne.
47 E se l'occhio tuo ti è occasione di peccato, cavalo; è meglio per te entrare con un occhio solo nella vita, che averne due ed essere gettato nella Geenna del fuoco,
48 dove il loro verme non muore e il fuoco non si spegne.
49 Poiché ognuno deve essere salato col fuoco, e ogni sacrificio deve essere salato col sale.
50 Il sale è buono, ma se il sale diviene insipido, con che cosa gli darete sapore? Abbiate del sale in voi stessi e state in pace gli uni con gli altri».
