Mark:9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he said to them ,
Truly I say to you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
There are some here of those who stand ,
who will in no way taste of death ,
until they see the kingdom of God come with power .
*
And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter ,
and James ,
and John ,
and brings them up into a high mountain apart by themselves :
and he was transfigured before them ;
*
and his garments became glistering ,
exceedingly white ,
so as no fuller on earth can whiten them .
*
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses :
and they were talking with Jesus .
*
And Peter answers and says to Jesus ,
Rabbi ,
it is good for us to be here :
and let us make three tabernacles ;
one for you ,
and one for Moses ,
and one for Elijah .
*
For he didn '
t know what to answer ;
for they became exceedingly afraid .
*
And there came a cloud overshadowing them :
and there came a voice out of the cloud ,
This is my beloved Son :
hear (
note :){+}(:
note )
him .
*
And suddenly looking around ,
they saw no one anymore ,
except Jesus only with themselves .
*
And as they were coming down from the mountain ,
he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen ,
except when the Son of Man should have risen again from the dead .
*
And they kept the saying ,
questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean .
*
And they asked him ,
saying , [
How is it ]
that the scribes say that Elijah must first come ?
*
And he said to them ,
Elijah indeed comes first ,
and restores all things :
and how is it written of the Son of Man ,
that he should suffer many things and be set at nothing ?
*
But I say to you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
that Elijah has come ,
and they have also done to him whatever they would ,
even as it is written of him .
*
And when they came to the disciples ,
they saw a great multitude about them ,
and scribes questioning with them .
*
And right away all the multitude ,
when they saw him ,
were greatly amazed ,
and running to him greeted him .
*
And he asked them ,
What do you (
note :){+}(:
note )
question with them ?
*
And one of the multitude answered him ,
Teacher ,
I brought to you my son ,
who has a mute spirit ;
*
and wherever it takes him ,
it dashes him down :
and he foams ,
and grinds his teeth ,
and becomes stiff :
and I spoke to your disciples that they should cast it out ;
and they were not able .
*
And he answers them and says ,
O faithless generation ,
how long shall I be with you (
note :){+}(:
note )?
How long shall I bear with you {+}?
Bring him to me .
*
And they brought him to him :
and when he saw him ,
immediately the spirit tore him grievously ;
and he fell on the ground ,
and wallowed foaming .
*
And he asked his father ,
How much time is it since this has come to him ?
And he said ,
From a child .
*
And often it has cast him both into the fire and into the waters ,
to destroy him :
but if you can do anything ,
have compassion on us ,
and help us .
*
And Jesus said to him ,
If you can !
All things are possible to him who believes .
*
Immediately the father of the child cried out ,
and said ,
I believe ;
help my unbelief .
*
And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together ,
he rebuked the unclean spirit ,
saying to him ,
You mute and deaf spirit ,
I command you ,
come out of him ,
and enter into him no more .
*
And having cried out ,
and torn him much ,
he came out :
and [
the boy ]
became as one dead ;
insomuch that most said ,
He is dead .
*
But Jesus took him by the hand ,
and raised him up ;
and he arose .
*
And when he came into the house ,
his disciples asked him privately , [
How is it ]
that we could not cast it out ?
*
And he said to them ,
This kind can come out by nothing ,
except by prayer .
*
And they went forth from there ,
and passed through Galilee ;
and he did not want that any man should know it .
*
For he taught his disciples ,
and said to them ,
The Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of men ,
and they will kill him ;
and when he is killed ,
after three days he will rise again .
*
But they didn '
t understand the saying ,
and were afraid to ask him .
*
And they came to Capernaum :
and when he was in the house he asked them ,
What were you (
note :){+}(:
note )
reasoning on the way ?
*
But they held their peace :
for they had disputed one with another on the way ,
who [
was ]
the greatest .
*
And he sat down ,
and called the twelve ;
and he says to them ,
If any man would be first ,
he will be last of all ,
and servant of all .
*
And he took a little child ,
and set the child among them :
and taking the child in his arms ,
he said to them ,
*
Whoever will receive one of such little children in my name ,
receives me :
and whoever receives me ,
does not receive me ,
but him who sent me .
*
John said to him ,
Teacher ,
we saw one casting out demons in your name ;
and we forbade him ,
because he didn '
t follow us .
*
But Jesus said ,
Don '
t forbid him :
for there is no man who will do a mighty work in my name ,
and be able quickly to speak evil of me .
*
For he who is not against us is for us .
*
For whoever will give you (
note :){+}(:
note )
a cup of water to drink ,
because you {+}
are Christ '
s ,
truly I say to you {+},
he will in no way lose his reward .
*
And whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble ,
it were better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck ,
and he were cast into the sea .
*
And if your hand causes you to stumble ,
cut it off :
it is good for you to enter into life maimed ,
rather than having your two hands to go into hell ,
into the unquenchable fire .
* []
*
And if your foot causes you to stumble ,
cut it off :
it is good for you to enter into life lame ,
rather than having your two feet to be cast into hell .
* []
*
And if your eye causes you to stumble ,
cast it out :
it is good for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye ,
rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell ;
*
where their worm dies not ,
and the fire is not quenched .
*
For everyone will be salted with fire .
*
Salt is good :
but if the salt has lost its saltness ,
how will you (
note :){+}(:
note )
season it ?
Have salt in yourselves ,
and be at peace one with another .
