Mark 8:39–9:28

³⁹And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.

Chapter 9

And after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.

²And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.

³And there appeared to them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

⁴And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

⁵For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.

⁶And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved Son. Hear ye him.

⁷And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.

⁸And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.

⁹And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.

¹⁰And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?

¹¹Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man that he must suffer many things and be despised.

¹²But I say to you that Elias also is come (and they have done to him whatsoever they would), as it is written of him.

¹³And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them and the scribes disputing with them.

¹⁴And presently all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear: and running to him, they saluted him.

¹⁵And he asked them: What do you question about among you?

¹⁶And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.

¹⁷Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him: and he foameth and gnasheth with the teeth and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out: and they could not.

¹⁸Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me.

¹⁹And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.

²⁰And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy.

²¹And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.

²²And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

²³And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.

²⁴And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him and enter not any more into him.

²⁵And crying out and greatly tearing him, he went out of him. And he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.

²⁶But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.

²⁷And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?

²⁸And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
