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
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)

King James Version
9 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.
2 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.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
5 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.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 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.

9 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Wahrlich ich sage euch: Es stehen etliche hier, die werden den Tod nicht schmecken, bis daß sie sehen das Reich Gottes mit seiner Kraft kommen.
2 Und nach sechs Tagen nahm Jesus zu sich Petrus, Jakobus und Johannes und führte sie auf einen hohen Berg besonders allein und verklärte sich vor ihnen.
3 Und seine Kleider wurden hell und sehr weiß wie der Schnee, daß sie kein Färber auf Erden kann so weiß machen.
4 Und es erschien ihnen Elia mit Mose und hatten eine Rede mit Jesu.
5 Und Petrus antwortete und sprach zu Jesu: Rabbi, hier ist gut sein. Lasset uns drei Hütten machen: dir eine, Mose eine und Elia eine.
6 Er wußte aber nicht, was er redete; denn sie waren bestürzt.
7 Und es kam eine Wolke, die überschattete sie. Und eine Stimme fiel aus der Wolke und sprach: Das ist mein lieber Sohn; den sollt ihr hören!
8 Und bald darnach sahen sie um sich und sahen niemand mehr denn allein Jesum bei ihnen.
9 Da sie aber vom Berge herabgingen, verbot ihnen Jesus, daß sie niemand sagen sollten, was sie gesehen hatten, bis des Menschen Sohn auferstünde von den Toten.
10 Und sie behielten das Wort bei sich und befragten sich untereinander: Was ist doch das Auferstehen von den Toten?
11 Und sie fragten ihn und sprachen: Sagen doch die Schriftgelehrten, daß Elia muß zuvor kommen.
12 Er antwortete aber und sprach zu ihnen: Elia soll ja zuvor kommen und alles wieder zurechtbringen; dazu soll des Menschen Sohn viel leiden und verachtet werden, wie denn geschrieben steht.
13 Aber ich sage euch: Elia ist gekommen, und sie haben an ihm getan, was sie wollten, nach dem von ihm geschrieben steht.
14 Und er kam zu seinen Jüngern und sah viel Volks um sie und Schriftgelehrte, die sich mit ihnen befragten.
15 Und alsbald, da alles Volk ihn sah, entsetzten sie sich, liefen zu und grüßten ihn.
16 Und er fragte die Schriftgelehrten: Was befragt ihr euch mit ihnen?
17 Einer aber aus dem Volk antwortete und sprach: Meister, ich habe meinen Sohn hergebracht zu dir, der hat einen sprachlosen Geist.
18 Und wo er ihn erwischt, da reißt er ihn; und er schäumt und knirscht mit den Zähnen und verdorrt. Ich habe mit deinen Jüngern geredet, daß sie ihn austrieben, und sie können's nicht.
19 Er antwortete ihm aber und sprach: O du ungläubiges Geschlecht, wie lange soll ich bei euch sein? wie lange soll ich euch tragen? Bringet ihn her zu mir!
20 Und sie brachten ihn her zu ihm. Und alsbald, da ihn der Geist sah, riß er ihn; und er fiel auf die Erde und wälzte sich und schäumte.
21 Und er fragte seinen Vater: Wie lange ist's, daß es ihm widerfahren ist? Er sprach: Von Kind auf.
22 Und oft hat er ihn in Feuer und Wasser geworfen, daß er ihn umbrächte. Kannst du aber was, so erbarme dich unser und hilf uns!
23 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Wenn du könntest Glauben! Alle Dinge sind möglich dem, der da glaubt.
24 Und alsbald schrie des Kindes Vater mit Tränen und sprach: Ich glaube, lieber HERR, hilf meinem Unglauben!
25 Da nun Jesus sah, daß das Volk zulief, bedrohte er den unsauberen Geist und sprach zu ihm: Du sprachloser und tauber Geist, ich gebiete dir, daß du von ihm ausfahrest und fahrest hinfort nicht in ihn!
26 Da schrie er und riß ihn sehr und fuhr aus. Und er ward, als wäre er tot, daß auch viele sagten: Er ist tot.
27 Jesus aber ergriff ihn bei der Hand und richtete ihn auf; und er stand auf.
28 Und da er heimkam, fragten ihn seine Jünger besonders: Warum konnten wir ihn nicht austreiben?
29 Und er sprach: Diese Art kann mit nichts ausfahren denn durch Beten und Fasten.
30 Und sie gingen von da hinweg und wandelten durch Galiläa; und er wollte nicht, daß es jemand wissen sollte.
31 Er lehrte aber seine Jünger und sprach zu ihnen: Des Menschen Sohn wird überantwortet werden in der Menschen Hände, und sie werden ihn töten; und wenn er getötet ist, so wird er am dritten Tage auferstehen.
32 Sie aber verstanden das Wort nicht, und fürchteten sich, ihn zu fragen.
33 Und er kam gen Kapernaum. Und da er daheim war, fragten er sie: Was handeltet ihr miteinander auf dem Wege?
34 Sie aber schwiegen; denn sie hatten miteinander auf dem Wege gehandelt, welcher der Größte wäre.
35 Und er setzte sich und rief die Zwölf und sprach zu ihnen: So jemand will der Erste sein, der soll der Letzte sein vor allen und aller Knecht.
36 Und er nahm ein Kindlein und stellte es mitten unter sie und herzte es und sprach zu ihnen:
37 Wer ein solches Kindlein in meinem Namen aufnimmt, der nimmt mich auf; und wer mich aufnimmt, der nimmt nicht mich auf, sondern den, der mich gesandt hat.
38 Johannes aber antwortete ihn und sprach: Meister, wir sahen einen, der trieb Teufel in deinem Namen aus, welcher uns nicht nachfolgt; und wir verboten's ihm, darum daß er uns nicht nachfolgt.
39 Jesus aber sprach: Ihr sollt's ihm nicht verbieten. Denn es ist niemand, der eine Tat tue in meinem Namen, und möge bald übel von mir reden.
40 Wer nicht wider uns ist, der ist für uns.
41 Wer aber euch tränkt mit einem Becher Wassers in meinem Namen, darum daß ihr Christo angehöret, wahrlich, ich sage euch, es wird ihm nicht unvergolten bleiben.
42 Und wer der Kleinen einen ärgert, die an mich glauben, dem wäre es besser, daß ihm ein Mühlstein an seinen Hals gehängt und er ins Meer geworfen würde.
43 So dich aber deine Hand ärgert, so haue sie ab! Es ist dir besser, daß du als ein Krüppel zum Leben eingehest, denn daß du zwei Hände habest und fahrest in die Hölle, in das ewige Feuer,
44 da ihr Wurm nicht stirbt und ihr Feuer nicht verlöscht.
45 Ärgert dich dein Fuß, so haue ihn ab. Es ist dir besser, daß du lahm zum Leben eingehest, denn daß du zwei Füße habest und werdest in die Hölle geworfen, in das ewige Feuer,
46 da ihr Wurm nicht stirbt und ihr Feuer nicht verlöscht.
47 Ärgert dich dein Auge, so wirf's von dir! Es ist dir besser, daß du einäugig in das Reich Gottes gehest, denn daß du zwei Augen habest und werdest in das höllische Feuer geworfen,
48 da ihr Wurm nicht stirbt ihr Feuer nicht verlöscht.
49 Es muß ein jeglicher mit Feuer gesalzen werden, und alles Opfer wird mit Salz gesalzen.
50 Das Salz ist gut; so aber das Salz dumm wird, womit wird man's würzen? Habt Salz bei euch und habt Frieden untereinander.
