Markus 9
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
9 Jesus sa vidare till dem: Några av er som står här nu, kommer att leva kvar och få se Guds rike komma med väldig kraft.
Jesus förvandlas på berget
2 Sex dagar senare tog Jesus med sig Petrus, Jakob och Johannes till toppen av ett högt berg.Plötsligt förändrades hans utseende mitt framför ögonen på dem.
3 Hans kläder blev bländande vita, så att inget blekningsmedel i hela världen kan göra kläder så vita.
4 Sedan visade sig Elia och Mose och började samtala med Jesus.
5 Upphetsad ropade Petrus: Mästare! Här är det skönt att vara. Vi bygger tre hyddor! En för var och en av er.
6 Han sa detta bara för att säga något, för han visste helt enkelt inte vad han skulle säga, och alla tre var rädda och förvirrade.
7 Men medan han talade sveptes de in i ett moln, som sänkte sig ner och en röst från molnet sa: Han är min älskade Son. Lyssna till honom!
8 Då lärjungarna såg sig omkring var Mose och Elia borta, men Jesus var kvar hos dem.
9 När de gick ner för bergssluttningen befallde Jesus dem att inte med ett ord nämna om vad de sett, förrän Människosonen uppstått från de döda.
10 Därför höll de det för sig själva, men talade ofta om det och undrade vad han menade med att uppstå från de döda.
11 De frågade honom nu om något som judarnas religiösa ledare ofta påstod, nämligen att Elia måste komma tillbaka innan Människosonen gör det.
12-13 Jesus höll med dem om att Elia först måste komma och bereda vägen. Ja, han sa att han hade faktiskt redan kommit och att man misshandlat honom fruktansvärt, precis som profeterna hade förutsagt. Sedan frågade Jesus dem vad profeterna kunde ha menat när de förutsa att Människosonen skulle få lida och bli illa behandlad av alla.
Jesus botar en pojke som är besatt av en ond ande
14 Nedanför berget hade mycket folk samlats, och resten av lärjungarna hade råkat i diskussion med några judiska ledare.
15 När de fick se Jesus komma gående blev de häpna och sprang fram till honom för att hälsa på honom.
16 Vad är det ni diskuterar? frågade han.
17 En man i folkhopen sa då: Mästare, jag har tagit min pojke med mig hit för att du skulle bota honom. Han kan inte tala eftersom han är besatt av en ond ande.
18 Och varje gång anden går till attack, slår den honom till marken och får honom att tugga fradga och gnissla tänder, och han blir alldeles stel. Därför bad jag dina lärjungar att driva ut den onde anden, men de kunde inte det.
19 Ska ni då aldrig börja tro, utbrast Jesus. Hur länge måste jag vara tillsammans med er innan ni lär er det? Kom hit med pojken.
20 Då kom de fram med pojken. Men när han fick se Jesus ryckte och slet anden i honom, och han föll till marken i krampryckningar och fradgan skummade runt munnen på honom.
21 Hur länge har det här hållit på? frågade Jesus fadern. Han svarade: Sedan han var mycket liten.
22 Ofta får den onde anden honom att falla i elden eller i vattnet för att ta död på honom. Hjälp oss, om du kan!
23 Om jag kan? svarade Jesus. Allt är möjligt om du tror på mig.
24 Jag tror, utropade fadern. Hjälp min otro!
25 Jesus såg att folk nu kom springande från alla håll. Då tillrättavisade han den onde anden: Du döve och stumme ande, sa han, jag befaller dig att komma ut ur detta barn och aldrig mer fara in i honom!
26 Anden skrek då vilt och började rycka och slita i pojken men for till sist ut ur honom. Pojken låg sedan som livlös på marken, och många mumlade: Han är död.
27 Men Jesus tog honom i handen och hjälpte honom upp på fötterna och han reste sig upp.
28 När Jesus efteråt kom inomhus och blev ensam med sina lärjungar, frågade de honom: Varför kunde inte vi driva ut den onde anden?
29 Jesus svarade: Andar av det slaget kan bara drivas ut som svar på bön.
Jesus förutsäger för andra gången hur han ska dö
30-31 Sedan lämnade Jesus och lärjungarna området och gick genom Galileen. Eftersom han fortfarande hade mycket att undervisa dem om, ville han vara ensam med dem och försökte därför att undvika all uppmärksamhet. Människosonen kommer snart att bli förrådd, sa han, för att förbereda dem på vad som skulle hända. Och man ska döda honom, men tre dagar senare ska han återvända till livet.
32 Men de förstod inte vad han menade, och de vågade inte heller fråga honom.
Lärjungarna diskuterar vem av dem som är störst
33 Så kom de till Kafarnaum. När de gjort sig hemmastadda i huset där de skulle bo, frågade Jesus dem: Vad pratade ni om på vägen?
34 Men de skämdes för att svara för de hade diskuterat med varandra om vem som var störst.
35 Då satte han sig ner och bad dem slå sig ner runt om och sa till dem: Den som vill vara den störste måste underordna sig andra och tjäna andra.
36 Sedan ropade han på ett litet barn och ställde det mitt ibland dem och lade armen om barnet och sa:
37 Den som av kärlek tar emot ett sådant barn, han tar emot mig. Och den som tar emot mig, han tar emot Gud själv eftersom Gud har sänt mig.
Lärjungarna förbjuder en man att använda Jesu namn
38 Johannes, en av lärjungarna, sa en dag till honom: Mästare, vi träffade en man som använde ditt namn för att driva ut onda andar. Men vi sa till honom att inte göra det, för han tillhörde ju inte vår grupp.
39 Det skulle ni inte ha gjort! sa Jesus. Den som gör under i mitt namn kan plötsligt inte vara emot mig.
40 Den som inte är emot oss är för oss.
41 Den som ger er något för att ni tillhör Kristus, om så bara ett glas vatten att dricka, ska inte bli utan belöning.
42 Men om någon berövar dessa små deras tro på mig, ja, det skulle då vara bättre för den människan att man hängde en tung kvarnsten runt halsen på henne och kastade henne i havet.
Jesus varnar för frestelse
43-44 Om din hand är orsak till att du kommer bort från Gud, så hugg av den. Det är bättre att gå in i det eviga livet med en hand än att med alla lemmar i behåll kastas i helvetet, i den eld som aldrig slocknar.
45-46 Om din fot får dig på fall, så hugg av den. Det är bättre för dig att vara handikappad för alltid än att med båda fötterna i behåll marschera mot helvetet.
47 Och om ditt öga får dig att synda, så riv ut det. Det är bättre att gå in i Guds rike med ett öga, än att ha båda i behåll och kastas i helvetets eld.
48 Där kommer plågorna aldrig att ta slut och elden aldrig att slockna.
49 Som man förbereder offerdjuren i templet med salt så måste också ni saltas med eld.
50 Salt är gott och nödvändigt så länge det verkar. Sen är det värdelöst. Se därför till att ni inte förlorar er salthalt. Och lev i fred med varandra.

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
Mark 9
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 And Jesus said to them, Truly and solemnly I say to you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death before they see the kingdom of God come in [its] power.
2 Six days after this, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves. And He was transfigured before them and became resplendent with divine brightness.
3 And His garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller (cloth dresser, launderer) on earth could bleach them.
4 And Elijah appeared [there] to them, accompanied by Moses, and they were [a]holding [a protracted] conversation with Jesus.
5 And [b]Peter took up the conversation, saying, Master, it is good and suitable and beautiful for us to be here. Let us make three booths (tents)—one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.
6 For he did not [really] know what to say, for they were in a violent fright ([c]aghast with dread).
7 And a cloud threw a shadow upon them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, the [[d]most dearworthy] Beloved One. Be [e]constantly listening to and obeying Him!
8 And looking around, they suddenly no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus only.
9 And as they were coming back down the mountain, He admonished and [f]expressly ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man should rise from among the dead.
10 So they carefully and faithfully kept the matter to themselves, questioning and disputing with one another about what rising from among the dead meant.
11 And they asked Him, Why do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to come first?(A)
12 And He said to them, Elijah, it is true, does come first to restore all things and [g]set them to rights. And how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be utterly despised and be treated with contempt and rejected?(B)
13 But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and [people] did to him whatever they desired, as it is written of him.
14 And when they came to the [nine] disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes questioning and disputing with them.
15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw Jesus [[h]returning from the holy mount, His face and person yet glistening], they were greatly amazed and ran up to Him [and] greeted Him.
16 And He asked them, About what are you questioning and discussing with them?
17 And one of the throng replied to Him, Teacher, I brought my son to You, for he has a dumb spirit.
18 And wherever it lays hold of him [so as to make him its own], it dashes him down and convulses him, and he foams [at the mouth] and grinds his teeth, and he [[i]falls into a motionless stupor and] is wasting away. And I asked Your disciples to drive it out, and they were not able [to do it].
19 And He answered them, O unbelieving generation [without any faith]! How long [j]shall I [have to do] with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to Me.
20 So they brought [the boy] to Him, and when the spirit saw Him, at once it completely convulsed the boy, and he fell to the ground and kept rolling about, foaming [at the mouth].
21 And [Jesus] asked his father, How long has he had this? And he answered, From the time he was a little boy.
22 And it has often thrown him both into fire and into water, intending to kill him. But if You can do anything, do have pity on us and help us.
23 And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!
24 At once the father of the boy gave [an [k]eager, [l]piercing, inarticulate] cry with tears, and he said, Lord, I believe! [Constantly] help my [m]weakness of faith!
25 But when Jesus noticed that a crowd [of people] came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you to come out of him and never go into him again.
26 And after giving a [hoarse, clamoring, fear-stricken] shriek of anguish and convulsing him terribly, it came out; and the boy lay [pale and motionless] like a corpse, so that many of them said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took [[n]a strong grip of] his hand and began lifting him up, and he stood.
28 And when He had gone indoors, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could not we drive it out?
29 And He replied to them, This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer [o]and fasting.
30 They went on from there and passed along through Galilee. And He did not wish to have anyone know it,
31 For He was [engaged for the time being in] teaching His disciples. He said to them, The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and when He has been killed, after three days He will rise [[p]from death].
32 But they did not comprehend what He was saying, and they were afraid to ask Him [what this statement meant].
33 And they arrived at Capernaum; and when [they were] in the house, He asked them, What were you discussing and arguing about on the road?
34 But they kept still, for on the road they had discussed and disputed with one another as to who was the greatest.
35 And He sat down and called the Twelve [apostles], and He said to them, If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And He took a little child and put him in the center of their group; and taking him in [His] arms, He said to them,
37 Whoever in My name and for My sake accepts and receives and welcomes one such child also accepts and receives and welcomes Me; and whoever so receives Me receives not only Me but Him Who sent Me.
38 John said to Him, Teacher, we saw a man who does not follow along with us driving out demons in Your name, and we forbade him to do it, because he [q]is not one of our band [of Your disciples].
39 But Jesus said, Do not restrain or hinder or forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in My name will soon afterward be able to speak evil of Me.
40 For he who is not against us is for us.(C)
41 For I tell you truly, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to and bear the name of Christ will by no means fail to get his reward.
42 And whoever causes one of these little ones (these believers) who [r]acknowledge and cleave to Me to stumble and sin, it would be better (more profitable and wholesome) for him if a [huge] millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.
43 And if your hand puts a stumbling block before you and causes you to sin, cut it off! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to go into life [[s]that is really worthwhile] maimed than with two hands to go to hell (Gehenna), into the fire that cannot be put out.[t]
45 And if your foot is a cause of stumbling and sin to you, cut it off! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to enter into life [that is really worthwhile] crippled than, having two feet, to be cast into hell (Gehenna)[u].
47 And if your eye causes you to stumble and sin, pluck it out! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell (Gehenna),
48 Where their worm [[v]which preys on the inhabitants and is a symbol of the wounds inflicted on the man himself by his sins] does not die, and the fire is not put out.(D)
49 For everyone shall be salted with fire.
50 Salt is good (beneficial), but if salt has lost its saltness, how will you restore [the saltness to] it? Have salt within yourselves, and be at peace and live in harmony with one another.

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)
