Mark:9:1 @
And he said to them ,
Truly I say to you ,
There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power .
bbe @
Mark:9:2 @
And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John ,
and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves :
and he was changed in form before them :
bbe @
Mark:9:3 @
And his clothing became shining ,
very white ,
as no cleaner on earth would make it .
bbe @
Mark:9:4 @
And there came before them Elijah with Moses ,
and they were talking with Jesus .
bbe @
Mark:9:5 @
And Peter said to Jesus ,
Master ,
it is good for us to be here :
and let us make three tents ;
one for you ,
one for Moses ,
and one for Elijah .
bbe @
Mark:9:6 @
Because he was not certain what to say ,
for they were in great fear .
bbe @
Mark:9:7 @
And a cloud came over them ;
and a voice came out of the cloud ,
saying ,
This is my dearly loved Son ,
give ear to him .
bbe @
Mark:9:8 @
And suddenly looking round about ,
they saw no one any longer ,
but Jesus only with themselves .
bbe @
Mark:9:9 @
And while they were coming down from the mountain ,
he gave them orders not to give word to any man of the things they had seen ,
till the Son of man had come back from the dead .
bbe @
Mark:9:10 @
And they kept the saying ,
questioning among themselves what the coming back from the dead might be .
bbe @
Mark:9:11 @
And they put a question to him ,
saying ,
Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first ?
bbe @
Mark:9:12 @
And he said to them ,
Truly ,
Elijah does come first ,
and puts all things in order ;
and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing ?
bbe @
Mark:9:13 @
But I say to you that Elijah has come ,
and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do ,
even as the Writings say about him .
bbe @
Mark:9:14 @
And when they came to the disciples ,
they saw a great mass of people about them ,
and scribes questioning them .
bbe @
Mark:9:15 @
And straight away all the people ,
when they saw him ,
were full of wonder ,
and running to him ,
gave him worship .
bbe @
Mark:9:16 @
And he said ,
What are you questioning them about ?
bbe @
Mark:9:17 @
And one of the number said to him in answer ,
Master ,
I came to you with my son ,
who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking ;
bbe @
Mark:9:18 @
And wherever it takes him ,
it puts him down violently ,
streaming at the lips and twisted with pain ;
and his strength goes from him ;
and I made a request to your disciples to send it out ,
and they were not able .
bbe @
Mark:9:19 @
And he said to them in answer ,
O generation without faith ,
how long will I have to be with you ?
how long will I put up with you ?
let him come to me .
bbe @
Mark:9:20 @
And they took him to him :
and when he saw him ,
the spirit in him straight away became violent ;
and he went down on the earth ,
rolling about and streaming at the lips
bbe @
Mark:9:21 @
And Jesus questioning the father said ,
How long has he been like this ?
And he said ,
From a child .
bbe @
Mark:9:22 @
And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water ,
for his destruction ;
but if you are able to do anything ,
have pity on us ,
and give us help .
bbe @
Mark:9:23 @
And Jesus said to him ,
If you are able !
All things are possible to him who has faith .
bbe @
Mark:9:24 @
Straight away the father of the child gave a cry ,
saying ,
I have faith ;
make my feeble faith stronger .
bbe @
Mark:9:25 @
And when Jesus saw that the people came running together ,
he gave orders to the unclean spirit ,
saying to him ,
You ,
spirit ,
who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing ,
I say to you ,
come out of him ,
and never again go into him .
bbe @
Mark:9:26 @
And after crying out and shaking him violently ,
it came out :
and the child became like one dead ;
so that most of them said ,
He is dead .
bbe @
Mark:9:27 @
But Jesus took him by the hand ,
lifting him up ;
and he got up .
bbe @
Mark:9:28 @
And when he had gone into the house ,
his disciples said to him privately ,
Why were we unable to send it out ?
bbe @
Mark:9:29 @
And he said to them ,
Nothing will make this sort come out but prayer .
bbe @
Mark:9:30 @
And they went out from there ,
through Galilee ;
and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it ;
bbe @
Mark:9:31 @
For he was giving his disciples teaching ,
and saying to them ,
The Son of man is given up into the hands of men ,
and they will put him to death ;
and when he is dead ,
after three days he will come back from the dead .
bbe @
Mark:9:32 @
But the saying was not clear to them ,
and they were in fear of questioning him about it .
bbe @
Mark:9:33 @
And they came to Capernaum :
and when he was in the house ,
he put the question to them ,
What were you talking about on the way ?
bbe @
Mark:9:34 @
But they said nothing :
because they had had an argument between themselves on the way ,
about who was the greatest .
bbe @
Mark:9:35 @
And seating himself ,
he made the twelve come to him ;
and he said to them ,
If any man has the desire to be first ,
he will be last of all and servant of all .
bbe @
Mark:9:36 @
And he took a little child ,
and put him in the middle of them ;
and taking him in his arms ,
he said to them ,
bbe @
Mark:9:37 @
Whoever will give honour to one such little child in my name ,
gives honour to me :
and whoever gives honour to me ,
gives honour not to me ,
but to him who sent me .
bbe @
Mark:9:38 @
John said to him ,
Master ,
we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name :
and we said that he might not ,
because he is not one of us .
bbe @
Mark:9:39 @
But Jesus said ,
Say not so :
for there is no man who will do a great work in my name ,
and be able at the same time to say evil of me .
bbe @
Mark:9:40 @
He who is not against us is for us .
bbe @
Mark:9:41 @
Whoever gives you a cup of water ,
because you are Christ '
s ,
truly I say to you ,
he will in no way be without his reward .
bbe @
Mark:9:42 @
And whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me ,
it would be better for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea .
bbe @
Mark:9:43 @
And if your hand is a cause of trouble to you ,
let it be cut off ;
it is better for you to go into life with one hand than to have two hands and go into hell ,
into the eternal fire .
bbe @
Mark:9:45 @
And if your foot is a cause of trouble to you ,
let it be cut off :
it is better for you to go into life with one foot than to have two feet and go into hell .
bbe @
Mark:9:47 @
And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you ,
take it out :
it is better for you to go into the kingdom of God with one eye than ,
having two eyes ,
to go into hell ,
bbe @
Mark:9:48 @
Where their worm is ever living and the fire is not put out .
bbe @
Mark:9:49 @
Everyone will be salted with fire .
bbe @
Mark:9:50 @
Salt is good ;
but if the taste goes from it ,
how will you make it salt again ?
Have salt in yourselves ,
and be at peace one with another .
