Mark 9

9And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come ^awith power.

^2bAnd after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. ³And his raiment became shining, exceeding ^cwhite as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. ⁴And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. ⁵And Peter answered and said to Jesus, ^ccMaster, 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. ^6dFor he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. ⁷And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. ⁸And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

^9eAnd as they came down from the mountain, he ^fcharged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. ¹⁰And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. ¹¹And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? ¹²And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and ^ghow it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and ^hbe set at nought. ¹³But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

¹⁴ⁱAnd when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the ^lscribes questioning with them. ¹⁵And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were ^kgreatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. ¹⁶And he asked the scribes, What question ye ^||with ^lthem? ¹⁷And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; ¹⁸And wheresoever he taketh him, he ^||teareth him: and he ^mfoameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. ¹⁹He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. ²⁰And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit ⁿtare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed ^mfoaming. ²¹And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. ²²And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. ²³Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. ²⁴And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; ^ohelp thou mine unbelief. ²⁵When Jesus saw that the people came ^prunning together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. ²⁶And the spirit cried, and ⁿrent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. ²⁷But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. ²⁸And when he was come ^qinto the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? ²⁹And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

³⁰And they departed thence, ^rand passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. ³¹For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. ^32sBut they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

^33tAnd he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye ^udisputed ^wamong yourselves by the way? ³⁴But they held their peace: for by the way ^xthey had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. ³⁵And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, ^yIf any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and ^zservant of all. ³⁶And ^ahe took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when ^ahe had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, ³⁷Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and ^bwhosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

^38cAnd John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and ^dwe forbad him, because he followeth not us. ³⁹But Jesus said, Forbid him not: ^efor there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. ⁴⁰For ^fhe that is not against us is on our part. ⁴¹For ^gwhosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. ⁴²And ^hwhosoever shall ^||offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. ⁴³ⁱAnd if thy hand ^||offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into ^khell, into ^lthe fire that never shall be quenched: ⁴⁴Where ^mtheir worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵And ⁿif thy foot ^||offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into ^khell, into ^lthe fire that never shall be quenched: ⁴⁶Where ^mtheir worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ^47oAnd if thine eye ^||offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into ^khell fire: ⁴⁸Where ^mtheir worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹For every one shall be salted with ^pfire, ^qand ^revery sacrifice shall be salted with salt. ^50sSalt is good: ^stbut if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? ^uHave salt in yourselves, and ^xhave peace ^yone with another.
