[Mark 9] ^9:1 And he was saying to them, Assuredly I am saying to you^°, There are some of the ones standing here, who should never taste of death, until they should see the kingdom of God has come in power.

 

             {Mar 9:2-13 & Mat 17:1-13 & Luk 9:28-36 Caesarea Philippi.}

             ^9:2 And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter and James and John and brings them up alone into a high mountain privately, and he was transfigured before them; ^9:3 and his garments became gleaming, exceedingly white like snow, such-as no launderer upon the earth is able to whiten. ^9:4 And Elijah, together-with Moses, was seen by them, and they were speaking together-with Jesus.

             ^9:5 And Peter answered and says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here, and we should make^* three tabernacles; one to you and one to Moses and one to Elijah. ^9:6 For^* he did not know what he will {i.e., should} say; for^* they were fearful.

             ^9:7 And it happened that a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out-of the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear^° him! ^9:8 And suddenly, they looked around and saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

 

             ^9:9 Now while coming-down from the mountain, he ordered them in-order-that they should describe to no one what they saw, except whenever the Son of Man rises^* up from the dead. ^9:10 And they took-hold of the word for themselves, debating together-with themselves, What is the thing, to rise^* up from the dead? ^9:11 And they were asking him, saying, The scribes say, It is essential for Elijah to come first?

             ^9:12 But he answered and said to them, Elijah indeed came first, and restores all things, and how it has been written of the Son of Man in-order-that he should suffer many things and should be scorned? ^9:13 But I am saying to you^°, Elijah has come, and they also did^* to him as many things as they wished, just-as it has been written upon the basis of him.

 

             {Mar 9:14-29 & Mat 17:14-21 & Luk 9:37-43 Region of Caesarea Philippi.}

             ^9:14 And after he came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes debating together-with them. ^9:15 And immediately all the crowd saw him, were utterly amazed, and running up to him, they were greeting him. ^9:16 And he asked the scribes, What are you^° debating together with them?

             ^9:17 And one out-of the crowd answered and said, Teacher, I brought my son to you, who has a mute spirit; ^9:18 and wherever it overtakes him, it rips at him and he foams and grinds his teeth and he is dried up {i.e., wasting away or becoming rigid like a dead plant}. And I spoke to your disciples in-order-that they might cast it out, and yet they were not strong-enough.

             ^9:19 But he answered and says, O unbelieving generation, until when will I be with you^°? Until when will I tolerate you^°? Bring^° him to me. ^9:20 And they brought him to him, and after it saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell upon the earth. He was wallowing, foaming. ^9:21 Now he asked his father, How-much time is it that things like this has happened to him?

             And he said, From childhood. ^9:22 And often it has cast him both into fire and into waters in-order-that it might destroy him, but if you are able to do anything, help us and have compassion upon us.

             ^9:23 Now Jesus said to him, If you are able to believe. All things are possible to the one believing.

             ^9:24 And immediately the father of the child cried out with tears and was saying, I believe; Lord, help me with my unbelief.

             ^9:25 Now after Jesus saw that a crowd is running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, I command you, the mute and deaf spirit, come forth out-of him and enter into him no longer.

             ^9:26 And it cried out and convulsed him much, it came forth, and the boy became like one dead; so-then for many to say, He died.

             ^9:27 But Jesus took-hold of the hand of him, lifted him up, and he stood up. ^9:28 And his disciples entered into the house, and were asking him privately, How is it that we were not able to cast it forth?

             ^9:29 And he said to them, This variety is not able to come forth with^* anything, except in prayer and fasting.

 

             {Mar 9:30-32 & Mat 17:22-23 & Luk 9:43-45 Return to Galilee.}

             ^9:30 And they went forth from there, and were traveling through Galilee, and he was not wishing that^* anyone should know it. ^9:31 For^* he was teaching his disciples and was saying to them, The Son of Man is to be given up into the hands of men, and they will be killing him, and after he was killed, he will be rising^* in the third day. ^9:32 But they were not considering the declaration, and were fearing to ask him.

 

             {Mat 17:24-27 Capernaum Sept. 29 AD.}

             {Mar 9:33-50 & Mat 18:1-14 & Luk 9:46-50 Sept. 29 AD.}

             ^9:33 And he came into Capernaum, and after he came^* into the house he was asking them, What were you^° reasoning with yourselves on the road? ^9:34 But they were silent; for^* they had reasoned with one another on the road, who was greater. ^9:35 And he sat down, summoned the twelve, and he says to them, If anyone wishes to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all. ^9:36 And he took a young child, and stood it in the midst of them. And he wrapped it in his arms, and said to them, ^9:37 Whoever accepts one of such children in my name, accepts me, and whoever accepts me, does not accept me, but the one who sent me.

 

             ^9:38 Now John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw someone casting forth demons in your name, who is not following us, and we forbade him because he is not following us.

             ^9:39 But Jesus said, Do^° not forbid him; for^* there is no one who will be doing^* a miracle in my name, and be able to speak evil of me quickly. ^9:40 For^* he who is not against you^° is working on your^° behalf. ^9:41 For^* whoever delivers to you^° a cup of water to drink in my name, because you^° are of Christ, assuredly I am saying to you^°, He should never lose his reward. ^9:42 And whoever offends one of these little ones who believe into me, it is good for him rather if a mill’s stone is encompassed around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea.

             ^9:43 And if your hand offends you, cut it off. It is good for you to enter into life crippled, rather than having the two hands, and to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, ^9:44 where a maggot of them does not die^* and the fire is not quenched.

               ^9:45 And if your foot offends you, cut it off. It is good for you to enter into life lame, rather than having the two feet, and to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire, ^9:46 where their maggot does not die^* and the fire is not quenched.

               ^9:47 And if your eye offends you, cast it forth. It is good for you to enter into the kingdom of God one-eyed, rather than having two eyes, and to be cast into the fiery hell, ^9:48 where a maggot of them does not die^* and the fire is not quenched.

             ^9:49 For^* everyone will be salted with fire and every sacrifice will be salted with salt. ^9:50 The salt is good, but if the salt becomes non-salty, in what will you^° season it? Have^° salt in yourselves and be^° at peace one with^* another.
