9 Y añadió:
—Les 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 Santiago 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 dijo a Jesús:
—Rabí, ¡qué bien que estemos aquí! Podemos levantar tres albergues: uno para ti, otro para Moisés y otro 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. ¡Escúchenlo!».
8 De repente, cuando miraron a su alrededor, ya no vieron a nadie más que a Jesús.
9 Mientras bajaban de la montaña, Jesús 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—. Entonces, ¿cómo es que está escrito que el Hijo del hombre tiene que sufrir mucho y ser rechazado? 13 Pues bien, les 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 están discutiendo con ellos? —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 lo expulsaran, pero no lo lograron.
19 —¡Ah, generación incrédula! —respondió Jesús—. ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que estar con ustedes? ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que soportarlos? Tráiganme 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 Jesús dijo:
—¿Cómo que si puedo? Para el que cree, todo es posible.
24 —¡Sí, creo! —exclamó de inmediato el padre del muchacho—. ¡Ayúdame en mi falta de 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: «Ya se murió». 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 tenían miedo de preguntarle.
¿Quién es el más importante?(D)
33 Llegaron a Capernaúm. Cuando ya estaba en casa, Jesús preguntó:
—¿Qué venían 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, dijo:
37 —El que recibe en mi nombre a un niño como este me recibe a mí, y el que me recibe a mí no solo 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 un hombre que expulsaba demonios en tu nombre y se lo impedimos, porque no es de los nuestros.[c]
39 —No se lo impidan —respondió Jesús—. Nadie que haga un milagro en mi nombre puede luego hablar mal de mí. 40 El que no está contra nosotros está a favor de nosotros. 41 Les aseguro que cualquiera que les dé un vaso de agua en mi nombre por ser ustedes de Cristo no perderá su recompensa.
El hacer pecar
42 »Pero si alguien hace pecar 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 Y 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. 44 [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. 46 [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
»“no morirá el gusano que los devora
ni su fuego se apagará”.[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 ustedes, para que puedan vivir en paz unos con otros».

Mark 9
New King James Version
The Transfiguration of Christ(A)
9 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
2 (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. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly (E)white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 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”— 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.
7 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!” 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.
9 (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
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.”

Mark 9
New Century Version
9 Then Jesus said to the people, “I tell you the truth, some people standing here will see the kingdom of God come with power before they die.”
Jesus Talks with Moses and Elijah
2 Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John up on a high mountain by themselves. While they watched, Jesus’ appearance was changed. 3 His clothes became shining white, whiter than any person could make them. 4 Then Elijah and Moses[a] appeared to them, talking with Jesus.
5 Peter said to Jesus, “Teacher, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 Peter did not know what to say, because he and the others were so frightened.
7 Then a cloud came and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”
8 Suddenly Peter, James, and John looked around, but they saw only Jesus there alone with them.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone about what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 So the followers obeyed Jesus, but they discussed what he meant about rising from the dead.
11 Then they asked Jesus, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Jesus answered, “They are right to say that Elijah must come first and make everything the way it should be. But why does the Scripture say that the Son of Man will suffer much and that people will treat him as if he were nothing? 13 I tell you that Elijah has already come. And people did to him whatever they wanted to do, just as the Scriptures said it would happen.”
Jesus Heals a Sick Boy
14 When Jesus, Peter, James, and John came back to the other followers, they saw a great crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 But as soon as the crowd saw Jesus, the people were surprised and ran to welcome him.
16 Jesus asked, “What are you arguing about?”
17 A man answered, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has an evil spirit in him that stops him from talking. 18 When the spirit attacks him, it throws him on the ground. Then my son foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes very stiff. I asked your followers to force the evil spirit out, but they couldn’t.”
19 Jesus answered, “You people have no faith. How long must I stay with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
20 So the followers brought him to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it made the boy lose control of himself, and he fell down and rolled on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been happening?”
The father answered, “Since he was very young. 22 The spirit often throws him into a fire or into water to kill him. If you can do anything for him, please have pity on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to the father, “You said, ‘If you can!’ All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 Immediately the father cried out, “I do believe! Help me to believe more!”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he ordered the evil spirit, saying, “You spirit that makes people unable to hear or speak, I command you to come out of this boy and never enter him again!”
26 The evil spirit screamed and caused the boy to fall on the ground again. Then the spirit came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, and many people said, “He is dead!” 27 But Jesus took hold of the boy’s hand and helped him to stand up.
28 When Jesus went into the house, his followers began asking him privately, “Why couldn’t we force that evil spirit out?”
29 Jesus answered, “That kind of spirit can only be forced out by prayer.”[b]
Jesus Talks About His Death
30 Then Jesus and his followers left that place and went through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know where he was, 31 because he was teaching his followers. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be handed over to people, and they will kill him. After three days, he will rise from the dead.” 32 But the followers did not understand what Jesus meant, and they were afraid to ask him.
Who Is the Greatest?
33 Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum. When they went into a house there, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” 34 But the followers did not answer, because their argument on the road was about which one of them was the greatest.
35 Jesus sat down and called the twelve apostles to him. He said, “Whoever wants to be the most important must be last of all and servant of all.”
36 Then Jesus took a small child and had him stand among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said, 37 “Whoever accepts a child like this in my name accepts me. And whoever accepts me accepts the One who sent me.”
Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us
38 Then John said, “Teacher, we saw someone using your name to force demons out of a person. We told him to stop, because he does not belong to our group.”
39 But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him, because anyone who uses my name to do powerful things will not easily say evil things about me. 40 Whoever is not against us is with us. 41 I tell you the truth, whoever gives you a drink of water because you belong to the Christ will truly get his reward.
42 “If one of these little children believes in me, and someone causes that child to sin, it would be better for that person to have a large stone tied around his neck and be drowned in the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body and live forever than to have two hands and go to hell, where the fire never goes out. [ 44 In hell the worm does not die; the fire is never put out.][c] 45 If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body and to live forever than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [ 46 In hell the worm does not die; the fire is never put out.][d] 47 If your eye causes you to sin, take it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell. 48 In hell the worm does not die; the fire is never put out. 49 Every person will be salted with fire.
50 “Salt is good, but if the salt loses its salty taste, you cannot make it salty again. So, be full of salt, and have peace with each other.”
