The Good News According to Mark, Chapter 9
{9:1} He said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, there are some
standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the
Kingdom of God come with power."
{9:2} After six days Yeshua took with him Rock, Ya`akov, and
Yochanan, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by
themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
{9:3} His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow,
such as no launderer on [1>]eretz[<1] can whiten them. {9:4} Eliyah
and Moshe appeared to them, and they were talking with Yeshua.
{9:5} Rock answered Yeshua, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here.
Let's make three tents: one for you, one for Moshe, and one for
Eliyah." {9:6} For he didn't know what to say, for they were very
afraid.
{9:7} A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the
cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
{9:8} Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more,
except Yeshua only.
{9:9} As they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them
that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after
the Son of Man had risen from the dead. {9:10} They kept this saying
to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.
{9:11} They asked him, saying, "Why do the [2>]Sofrim[<2] say that
Eliyah must come first?"
{9:12} He said to them, "Eliyah indeed comes first, and restores all
things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer
many things and be despised? {9:13} But I tell you that Eliyah has
come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as
it is written about him."
{9:14} Coming to the [3>]talmidim[<3], he saw a great multitude
around them, and [4>]Sofrim[<4] questioning them. {9:15} Immediately
all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running
to him greeted him. {9:16} He asked the [5>]Sofrim[<5], "What are you
asking them?"
{9:17} One of the multitude answered, "Teacher, I brought to you my
son, who has a mute spirit; {9:18} and wherever it seizes him, it
throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and
wastes away. I asked your [6>]talmidim[<6] to cast it out, and they
weren't able."
{9:19} He answered him, "Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be
with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me."
{9:20} They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the
spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming
at the mouth.
{9:21} He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has
come to him?"
He said, "From childhood. {9:22} Often it has cast him both into the
fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything,
have compassion on us, and help us."
{9:23} Yeshua said to him, "If you can believe, all things are
possible to him who believes."
{9:24} Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, "I
believe. Help my unbelief!"
{9:25} When Yeshua 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 never enter him again!"
{9:26} Having cried out, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him.
The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is
dead." {9:27} But Yeshua took him by the hand, and raised him up; and
he arose.
{9:28} When he had come into the house, his [7>]talmidim[<7] asked
him privately, "Why couldn't we cast it out?" {9:29} He said to them,
"This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting."
{9:30} They went out from there, and passed through the Galil. He
didn't want anyone to know it. {9:31} For he was teaching his
[8>]talmidim[<8], and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed
over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is
killed, on the third day he will rise again."
{9:32} But they didn't understand the saying, and were afraid to ask
him.
{9:33} He came to Kafar-Nachum, and when he was in the house he
asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"
{9:34} But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another
on the way about who was the greatest.
{9:35} He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If
any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of
all." {9:36} He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them.
Taking him in his arms, he said to them, {9:37} "Whoever receives one
such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me,
doesn't receive me, but him who sent me."
{9:38} Yochanan said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone who doesn't
follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because
he doesn't follow us."
{9:39} But Yeshua said, "Don't forbid him, for there is no one who
will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of
me. {9:40} For whoever is not against us is on our side. {9:41} For
whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you
are Messiah's, most assuredly I tell you, he will in no way lose his
reward. {9:42} Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe
in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the
sea with a millstone hung around his neck. {9:43} If your hand causes
you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life
maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehinnom, into
the unquenchable fire, {9:44} 'where their worm doesn't die, and the
fire is not quenched.' {9:45} If your foot causes you to stumble, cut
it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than
having your two feet to be cast into Gehinnom, into the fire that will
never be quenched -- {9:46} 'where their worm doesn't die, and the
fire is not quenched.' {9:47} If your eye causes you to stumble, cast
it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one
eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehinnom of fire,
{9:48} 'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'
{9:49} For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will
be seasoned with salt. {9:50} Salt is good, but if the salt has lost
its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves,
and be at shalom with one another."
