Mark 9
Christian Standard Bible
9 Then he said to them, “Truly I tell you,(A) there are some standing here who will not taste death(B) until they see the kingdom of God come in power.”(C)
The Transfiguration
2 After(D) six days(E) Jesus took Peter, James, and John(F) and led them up a high mountain(G) by themselves to be alone. He was transfigured(H) in front of them, 3 and his clothes(I) became dazzling—extremely white(J) as no launderer on earth could whiten(K) them. 4 Elijah(L) appeared to them with Moses,(M) and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(N) it’s good(O) for us to be here. Let’s set up three shelters:(P) one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— 6 because he did not know what to say,(Q) since they were terrified.(R)
7 A cloud(S) appeared, overshadowing(T) them, and a voice(U) came from the cloud:(V) “This is my beloved(W) Son;(X) listen to him!” (Y)
8 Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9 As(Z) they were coming down the mountain,(AA) he ordered them to tell no one what they had seen(AB) until the Son of Man(AC) had risen(AD) from the dead.(AE) 10 They kept this word(AF) to themselves, questioning what “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Then they asked him, “Why do the scribes(AG) say that Elijah must come first?” (AH)
12 “Elijah does come first and restores(AI) all things,”(AJ) he replied. “Why then is it written(AK) that the Son of Man must suffer(AL) many things and be treated with contempt?(AM) 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they pleased to him, just as it is written(AN) about him.”
The Power of Faith over a Demon
14 When(AO) they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes disputing(AP) with them. 15 When the whole crowd saw him, they were amazed and ran to greet him. 16 He asked them, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 Someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher,(AQ) I brought my son to you. He has a spirit(AR) that makes him unable to speak.(AS) 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t.”
19 He replied to them, “You unbelieving(AT) generation, how long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me.” 20 So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. 21 “How long has this been happening to him?” Jesus asked his father.
“From childhood,” he said. 22 “And many times it has thrown him into fire or water to destroy(AU) him. But if you can do anything, have compassion(AV) on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’?[a] Everything is possible(AW) for the one who believes.”(AX)
24 Immediately the father of the boy cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked(AY) the unclean(AZ) spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf(BA) spirit, I command you: Come out of him and never enter him again.”
26 Then it came out, shrieking and throwing him into terrible convulsions.(BB) The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He’s dead.” 27 But Jesus, taking him by the hand, raised him,(BC) and he stood up.
28 After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29 And he told them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer.”[b](BD)
The Second Prediction of His Death
30 Then(BE) they left that place and made their way through Galilee, but he did not want anyone to know it.(BF) 31 For he was teaching(BG) his disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man(BH) is going to be betrayed[c] into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after he is killed, he will rise(BI) three days later.”(BJ) 32 But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask him.(BK)
Who Is the Greatest?
33 They(BL) came to Capernaum.(BM) When he was in the house,(BN) he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?”(BO) 34 But they were silent,(BP) because on the way they had been arguing with one another about who was the greatest.(BQ) 35 Sitting down, he called the Twelve(BR) and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last and servant of all.”(BS) 36 He took a child,(BT) had him stand among them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes[d] one little child such as this in my name(BU) welcomes me. And whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but him who sent(BV) me.”(BW)
In His Name
38 John(BX) said to him, “Teacher,(BY) we saw someone[e] driving out demons(BZ) in your name,(CA) and we tried to stop him because he wasn’t following us.”(CB)
39 “Don’t stop him,” said Jesus, “because there is no one who will perform a miracle(CC) in my name who can soon afterward speak evil of me. 40 For whoever is not against us is for us.(CD) 41 And whoever gives you a cup of water to drink(CE) in my name, because you belong to Christ(CF) —truly I tell you,(CG) he will never lose his reward.(CH)
Warnings from Jesus
42 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away(CI) —it would be better for him if a heavy millstone(CJ) were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
43 “And if your hand causes you to fall away, cut it off.(CK) It is better for you to enter life maimed(CL) than to have two hands and go to hell, the unquenchable fire.[f](CM) 45 And if your foot causes you to fall away, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame(CN) than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.[g] 47 And if your eye causes you to fall away, gouge it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God(CO) with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown(CP) into hell,(CQ) 48 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.[h] 49 For everyone will be salted with fire.[i][j](CR) 50 Salt is good, but if the salt should lose its flavor, how can you season it?(CS) Have salt(CT) among yourselves, and be at peace(CU) with one another.”

马可福音 9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
9 耶稣又对他们说：“我实在告诉你们，站在这里的，有人在没有尝过死味以前，必定看见 神的国带着能力降临。”
在山上改变形象(A)
2 过了六天，耶稣带着彼得、雅各、约翰，领他们悄悄地上了高山，在他们面前改变了形象。 3 他的衣服闪耀发光，极其洁白，地上漂布的没有能漂得这样白的。 4 又有以利亚和摩西向他们显现，并且跟耶稣谈话。 5 彼得对耶稣说：“拉比，我们在这里真好！我们可以搭三个帐棚，一个为你，一个为摩西，一个为以利亚。” 6 彼得不知道该说甚么才好，因为他们都非常害怕。 7 有一片云彩来，笼罩他们，又有声音从云中出来：“这是我的爱子，你们要听他。” 8 门徒立刻周围观看，再也看不见别的人，只见耶稣单独和他们在一起。
9 他们下山的时候，耶稣吩咐他们，人子从死人中复活之前，不要把所看见的告诉人。 10 门徒把这句话记在心里，又彼此讨论从死人中复活是甚么意思。 11 他们就问耶稣：“经学家为甚么说以利亚必须先来呢？” 12 耶稣说：“以利亚固然要先来复兴一切，但圣经为甚么又记载人子要受许多苦，被人藐视呢？ 13 其实我告诉你们，以利亚已经来了，他们却任意待他，正如经上指着他所说的。”
治好癫痫病的小孩(B)
14 他们回到门徒那里，看见一大群人围着他们，又有经学家和他们辩论。 15 众人看见了耶稣，都很惊奇，就跑上前去向他问安。 16 他问他们：“你们和他们辩论甚么？” 17 群众当中有一个回答他：“老师，我把我的儿子带到你这里来，他被哑巴鬼附着。 18 无论在哪里，鬼抓住他，把他摔倒，他就口吐白沫，咬牙切齿，浑身僵硬。我请你的门徒把鬼赶出去，他们却办不到。” 19 耶稣回答他们：“唉！不信的世代啊！我跟你们在一起到几时呢？我要忍受你们到几时呢？把他带到我这里来吧。” 20 他们就把孩子带到他跟前。那鬼一见耶稣，就立刻使孩子抽了一阵疯，倒在地上，流着唾沫打滚。 21 耶稣问他父亲：“这事临到他有多久了？”他说：“从小就是这样。 22 鬼常常把他扔在火里水中，要毁灭他。如果你能作甚么，求你可怜我们，帮助我们。” 23 耶稣对他说：“‘如果你能’（“如果你能”有些抄本作“你若能信”）—对于信的人，甚么都能！” 24 孩子的父亲立刻喊着说：“我信！但我的信心不够，求你帮助我。” 25 耶稣看见群众围拢了来，就斥责那污鬼说：“聋哑的鬼，我吩咐你从他身上出来，不要再进去。” 26 那鬼大声喊叫，使孩子重重地抽了一阵疯，就出来了。孩子好象死了一样，所以许多人都说：“他死了！” 27 但耶稣拉着他的手，扶他起来，他就站起来了。 28 耶稣进了屋子，门徒私下问他说：“为甚么我们不能把那污鬼赶出去呢？” 29 耶稣对他们说：“这一类的鬼，非用祷告是赶不出去的。”
第二次预言受难及复活(C)
30 他们从那里出去，经过加利利，耶稣不想让人知道， 31 因为他正在教导门徒。他又对他们说：“人子将要被交在人的手里，他们要杀害他，死后三天他要复活。” 32 门徒不明白这话，又不敢问他。
门徒争论谁最大(D)
33 他们来到迦百农。在屋里的时候，耶稣问他们：“你们在路上争论甚么？” 34 门徒一声不响，因为他们在路上彼此争论谁为大。 35 耶稣坐下，叫十二门徒来，对他们说：“谁想为首，就该作众人中最末的一个，作众人的仆人。” 36 于是拉过一个小孩子来，叫他站在门徒中间，又把他抱起来，对他们说： 37 “凡因我的名接待一个这样的小孩子的，就是接待我；凡接待我的，不是接待我，而是接待那差我来的。”
反对与赞成(E)
38 约翰对耶稣说：“老师，我们看见有一个人奉你的名赶鬼，就禁止他，因为他不跟从我们。” 39 耶稣说：“不要禁止他，因为没有人能奉我的名行了神迹，又立刻毁谤我。 40 不反对我们的，就是赞成我们的。 41 无论谁因你们有属基督的名分，给你们一杯水喝的，我实在告诉你们，他决不会失掉赏赐。
坚拒使人犯罪(F)
42 “如果有人使一个信我的小弟兄犯罪，倒不如在他的颈项上拴一块大磨石投在海里。 43 如果你的一只手使你犯罪，就把它砍下来。你身体残废进永生，总比有两只手下到地狱，进入那不灭的火里好得多。（有些抄本有第44节“在那里虫是不死的，火是不灭的。”） 45 如果你的一只脚使你犯罪，就把它砍下来。你瘸腿进永生，总比你有两只脚而被丢在地狱里好得多。（有些抄本有第46节“在那里虫是不死的，火是不灭的。”） 47 如果你的一只眼睛使你犯罪，就把它挖出来。你只有一只眼睛进 神的国，总比你有两只眼睛而被丢在地狱里好得多， 48 在那里虫是不死的，火是不灭的。 49 每一个人必被火当盐来腌。（有些抄本在此有“各祭物必用盐来腌”一句；也有些抄本只有附注的一句，而没有正文的一句） 50 盐是好的，但如果失了味，可以用甚么使它再咸呢？你们自己里面应当有盐，彼此和睦。”
