Mark 9 (WEBP)

[1] He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
[2] After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
[3] His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
[4] Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
[5] Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
[6] For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
[7] A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
[8] Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
[9] As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
[10] They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
[11] They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
[12] He said to them, “Elijah 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?
[13] But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
[14] Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
[15] Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
[16] He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
[17] One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
[18] and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
[19] He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
[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.
[21] He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
[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.”
[23] Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
[24] Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
[25] 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 never enter him again!”
[26] After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
[27] But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
[28] When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
[29] He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
[30] They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
[31] for he was teaching his disciples, 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.”
[32] But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
[33] He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
[34] But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
[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.”
[36] He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
[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.”
[38] John 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.”
[39] But Jesus 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.
[40] For whoever is not against us is on our side.
[41] For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
[42] “Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
[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 Gehenna,§ into the unquenchable fire,
[44] ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ °
[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 Gehenna,§ into the fire that will never be quenched—
[46] ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ °
[47] If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna§ of fire,
[48] ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
[49] For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
[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 peace with one another.”

Mark 9 (KJVS)

[1] And G2532 he said G3004 (ImpfActInd) unto them G846, Verily G281 I say G3004 (PresActInd) unto you G5213, That G3754 there be G1526 (PresInd) some G5100 of them that stand G2476 (PerfActPtc) here G5602, which G3748 shall G1089 not G3364 taste G1089 (AorMidDepSubj) of death G2288, till G2193 G302 they have seen G1492 (Aor2ActSubj) the kingdom G932 of God G2316 come G2064 (Perf2ActPtc) with G1722 power G1411.
[2] And G2532 after G3326 six G1803 days G2250 Jesus G2424 taketh G3880 (PresActInd) [with him] Peter G4074, and G2532 James G2385, and G2532 John G2491, and G2532 leadeth G399 them G846 up G399 (PresActInd) into G1519 an high G5308 mountain G3735 apart G2596 G2398 by themselves G3441: and G2532 he was transfigured G3339 (AorPasInd) before G1715 them G846.
[3] And G2532 his G846 raiment G2440 became G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) shining G4744 (PresActPtc), exceeding G3029 white G3022 as G5613 snow G5510; so as G3634 no G3756 fuller G1102 on G1909 earth G1093 can G1410 (PresMidPasDepInd) white G3021 (AorActInf) them.
[4] And G2532 there appeared G3700 (AorPasInd) unto them G846 Elias G2243 with G4862 Moses G3475: and G2532 they were G2258 (ImpfInd) talking G4814 (PresActPtc) with Jesus G2424.
[5] And G2532 Peter G4074 answered G611 (AorPasDepPtc) and said G3004 (PresActInd) to Jesus G2424, Master G4461, it is G2076 (PresInd) good G2570 for us G2248 to be G1511 (PresInf) here G5602: and G2532 let us make G4160 (AorActSubj) three G5140 tabernacles G4633; one G3391 for thee G4671, and G2532 one G3391 for Moses G3475, and G2532 one G3391 for Elias G2243.
[6] For G1063 he wist G1492 (PlupfActInd) not G3756 what G5101 to say G2980 (AorActSubj); for G1063 they were sore G2258 (ImpfInd) afraid G1630.
[7] And G2532 there was G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) a cloud G3507 that overshadowed G1982 (PresActPtc) them G846: and G2532 a voice G5456 came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) out of G1537 the cloud G3507, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), This G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) my G3450 beloved G27 Son G5207: hear G191 (PresActImpr) him G846.
[8] And G2532 suddenly G1819, when they had looked round about G4017 (AorMidPtc), they saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) no man G3762 any more G3765, save G235 Jesus G2424 only G3441 with G3326 themselves G1438.
[9] And G1161 as they G846 came down G2597 (PresActPtc) from G575 the mountain G3735, he charged G1291 (AorMidInd) them G846 that G2443 they should tell G1334 (AorMidDepSubj) no man G3367 what things G3739 they had seen G1492 (Aor2ActInd), till G1508 G3752 the Son G5207 of man G444 were risen G450 (Aor2ActSubj) from G1537 the dead G3498.
[10] And G2532 they kept G2902 (AorActInd) that saying G3056 with G4314 themselves G1438, questioning one with another G4802 (PresActPtc) what G5101 the rising G450 (Aor2ActInf) from G1537 the dead G3498 should mean G2076 (PresInd).
[11] And G2532 they asked G1905 (ImpfActInd) him G846, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Why G3754 say G3004 (PresActInd) the scribes G1122 that G3754 Elias G2243 must G1163 (PresInd) first G4412 come G2064 (Aor2ActInf)?
[12] And G1161 he answered G611 (AorPasDepPtc) and told G2036 (Aor2ActInd) them G846, Elias G2243 verily G3303 cometh G2064 (Aor2ActPtc) first G4412, and restoreth G600 (PresActInd) all things G3956; and G2532 how G4459 it is written G1125 (PerfPasInd) of G1909 the Son G5207 of man G444, that G2443 he must suffer G3958 (Aor2ActSubj) many things G4183, and G2532 be set at nought G1847 (AorPasSubj).
[13] But G235 I say G3004 (PresActInd) unto you G5213, That G3754 Elias G2243 is G2064 indeed G2532 come G2064 (Perf2ActInd), and G2532 they have done G4160 (AorActInd) unto him G846 whatsoever G3745 they listed G2309 (AorActInd), as G2531 it is written G1125 (PerfPasInd) of G1909 him G846.
[14] And G2532 when he came G2064 (Aor2ActPtc) to G4314 [his] disciples G3101, he saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) a great G4183 multitude G3793 about G4012 them G846, and G2532 the scribes G1122 questioning G4802 (PresActPtc) with them G846.
[15] And G2532 straightway G2112 all G3956 the people G3793, when they beheld G1492 (Aor2ActPtc) him G846, were greatly amazed G1568 (AorPasInd), and G2532 running to G4370 (PresActPtc) [him] saluted G782 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) him G846.
[16] And G2532 he asked G1905 (AorActInd) the scribes G1122, What G5101 question ye G4802 (PresActInd) with G4314 them G846?
[17] And G2532 one G1520 of G1537 the multitude G3793 answered G611 (AorPasDepPtc) and said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Master G1320, I have brought G5342 (AorActInd) unto G4314 thee G4571 my G3450 son G5207, which hath G2192 (PresActPtc) a dumb G216 spirit G4151;
[18] And G2532 wheresoever G3699 G302 he taketh G2638 (Aor2ActSubj) him G846, he teareth G4486 (PresActInd) him G846: and G2532 he foameth G875 (PresActInd), and G2532 gnasheth G5149 (PresActInd) with his G846 teeth G3599, and G2532 pineth away G3583 (PresPasInd): and G2532 I spake G2036 (Aor2ActInd) to thy G4675 disciples G3101 that G2443 they should cast G1544 him G846 out G1544 (Aor2ActSubj); and G2532 they could G2480 (AorActInd) not G3756.
[19] He answereth G611 (AorPasDepPtc) him G846, and G1161 saith G3004 (PresActInd), O G5599 faithless G571 generation G1074, how long G2193 G4219 shall I be G2071 (FutInd) with G4314 you G5209? how long G2193 G4219 shall I suffer G430 (FutMidDepInd) you G5216? bring G5342 (PresActImpr) him G846 unto G4314 me G3165.
[20] And G2532 they brought G5342 (AorActInd) him G846 unto G4314 him G846: and G2532 when he saw G1492 (Aor2ActPtc) him G846, straightway G2112 the spirit G4151 tare G4682 (AorActInd) him G846; and G2532 he fell G4098 (Aor2ActPtc) on G1909 the ground G1093, and wallowed G2947 (ImpfMidPasInd) foaming G875 (PresActPtc).
[21] And G2532 he asked G1905 (AorActInd) his G846 father G3962, How long G4214 is it G2076 (PresInd) ago G5550 since G5613 this G5124 came G1096 (Perf2ActInd) unto him G846? And G1161 he said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Of a child G3812.
[22] And G2532 ofttimes G4178 it hath cast G906 (Aor2ActInd) him G846 into G2532 G1519 the fire G4442, and G2532 into G1519 the waters G5204, to G2443 destroy G622 (AorActSubj) him G846: but G235 if G1536 thou canst G1410 (PresMidPasDepInd) do any thing G1536, have compassion G4697 (AorPasDepPtc) on G1909 us G2248, and help G997 (AorActImpr) us G2254.
[23] G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, If G1487 thou canst G1410 (PresMidPasDepInd) believe G4100 (AorActInf), all things G3956 [are] possible G1415 to him G846 that believeth G4100 (PresActPtc).
[24] And G2532 straightway G2112 the father G3962 of the child G3813 cried out G2896 (AorActPtc), and said G3004 (ImpfActInd) with G3326 tears G1144, Lord G2962, I believe G4100 (PresActInd); help thou G997 (PresActImpr) mine G3450 unbelief G570.
[25] When G1161 Jesus G2424 saw G1492 (Aor2ActPtc) that G3754 the people G3793 came running together G1998 (PresActInd), he rebuked G2008 (AorActInd) the foul G169 spirit G4151, saying G3004 (PresActPtc) unto him G846, [Thou] dumb G216 and G2532 deaf G2974 spirit G4151, I G1473 charge G2004 (PresActInd) thee G4671, come G1831 (Aor2ActImpr) out of G1537 him G846, and G2532 enter G1525 (Aor2ActSubj) no more G3371 into G1519 him G846.
[26] And G2532 [the spirit] cried G2896 (AorActPtc), and G2532 rent G4682 (AorActPtc) him G846 sore G4183, and came out of him G1831 (Aor2ActInd): and G2532 he was G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) as G5616 one dead G3498; insomuch G5620 that G3754 many G4183 said G3004 (PresActInf), He is dead G599 (Aor2ActInd).
[27] But G1161 Jesus G2424 took G2902 (AorActPtc) him G846 by the hand G5495, and lifted G1453 him G846 up G1453 (AorActInd); and G2532 he arose G450 (Aor2ActInd).
[28] And G2532 when he G846 was come G1525 (Aor2ActPtc) into G1519 the house G3624, his G846 disciples G3101 asked G1905 (ImpfActInd) him G846 privately G2596 G2398, Why G3754 could G1410 (AorPasDepInd) not G3756 we G2249 cast G1544 him G846 out G1544 (Aor2ActInf)?
[29] And G2532 he said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto them G846, This G5124 kind G1085 can G1410 (PresMidPasDepInd) come forth G1831 (Aor2ActInf) by G1722 nothing G3762, but G1508 by G1722 prayer G4335 and G2532 fasting G3521.
[30] And G2532 they departed G1831 (Aor2ActPtc) thence G1564, and passed G3899 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) through G1223 Galilee G1056; and G2532 he would G2309 (ImpfActInd) not G3756 that G2443 any man G5100 should know G1097 (Aor2ActSubj) [it].
[31] For G1063 he taught G1321 (ImpfActInd) his G846 disciples G3101, and G2532 said G3004 (ImpfActInd) unto them G846, G3754 The Son G5207 of man G444 is delivered G3860 (PresPasInd) into G1519 the hands G5495 of men G444, and G2532 they shall kill G615 (FutActInd) him G846; and G2532 after that he is killed G615 (AorPasPtc), he shall rise G450 (FutMidInd) the third G5154 day G2250.
[32] But G1161 they understood not G50 (ImpfActInd) that saying G4487, and G2532 were afraid G5399 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) to ask G1905 (AorActInf) him G846.
[33] And G2532 he came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) to G1519 Capernaum G2584: and G2532 being G1096 (Aor2MidDepPtc) in G1722 the house G3614 he asked G1905 (ImpfActInd) them G846, What G5101 was it that ye disputed G1260 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) among G4314 yourselves G1438 by G1722 the way G3598?
[34] But G1161 they held their peace G4623 (ImpfActInd): for G1063 by G1722 the way G3598 they had disputed G1256 (AorPasDepInd) among G4314 themselves G240, who G5101 [should be] the greatest G3187.
[35] And G2532 he sat down G2523 (AorActPtc), and called G5455 (AorActInd) the twelve G1427, and G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846, If any man G1536 desire G2309 (PresActInd) to be G1511 (PresInf) first G4413, [the same] shall be G2071 (FutInd) last G2078 of all G3956, and G2532 servant G1249 of all G3956.
[36] And G2532 he took G2983 (Aor2ActPtc) a child G3813, and set G2476 (AorActInd) him G846 in G1722 the midst G3319 of them G846: and G2532 when he had taken G1723 him G846 in his arms G1723 (AorMidDepPtc), he said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto them G846,
[37] Whosoever G3739 G1437 shall receive G1209 (AorMidDepSubj) one G1520 of such G5108 children G3813 in G1909 my G3450 name G3686, receiveth G1209 (PresMidPasDepInd) me G1691: and G2532 whosoever G3739 G1437 shall receive G1209 (AorMidDepSubj) me G1691, receiveth G1209 (PresMidPasDepInd) not G3756 me G1691, but G235 him that sent G649 (AorActPtc) me G3165.
[38] And G1161 John G2491 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) him G846, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Master G1320, we saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) one G5100 casting out G1544 (PresActPtc) devils G1140 in thy G4675 name G3686, and G3739 he followeth G190 (PresActInd) not G3756 us G2254: and G2532 we forbad G2967 (AorActInd) him G846, because G3754 he followeth G190 (PresActInd) not G3756 us G2254.
[39] But G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Forbid G2967 (PresActImpr) him G846 not G3361: for G1063 there is G2076 (PresInd) no man G3762 which G3739 shall do G4160 (FutActInd) a miracle G1411 in G1909 my G3450 name G3686, that G2532 can G1410 (FutMidDepInd) lightly G5035 speak evil G2551 (AorActInf) of me G3165.
[40] For G1063 he that G3739 is G2076 (PresInd) not G3756 against G2596 us G2257 is G2076 (PresInd) on G5228 our G2257 part G5228.
[41] For G1063 whosoever G3739 G302 shall give G4222 you G5209 a cup G4221 of water G5204 to drink G4222 (AorActSubj) in G1722 my G3450 name G3686, because G3754 ye belong G2075 (PresInd) to Christ G5547, verily G281 I say G3004 (PresActInd) unto you G5213, he shall G622 not G3364 lose G622 (AorActSubj) his G846 reward G3408.
[42] And G2532 whosoever G3739 G302 shall offend G4624 (AorActSubj) one G1520 of [these] little ones G3398 that believe G4100 (PresActPtc) in G1519 me G1691, it is G2076 (PresInd) better G2570 G3123 for him G846 that G1487 a millstone G3037 G3457 were hanged G4029 (PresMidPasDepInd) about G4012 his G846 neck G5137, and G2532 he were cast G906 (PerfPasInd) into G1519 the sea G2281.
[43] And G2532 if G1437 thy G4675 hand G5495 offend G4624 (PresActSubj) thee G4571, cut G609 it G846 off G609 (AorActImpr): it is G2076 (PresInd) better G2570 for thee G4671 to enter G1525 (Aor2ActInf) into G1519 life G2222 maimed G2948, than G2228 having G2192 (PresActPtc) two G1417 hands G5495 to go G565 (Aor2ActInf) into G1519 hell G1067, into G1519 the fire G4442 that never shall be quenched G762:
[44] Where G3699 their G846 worm G4663 dieth G5053 (PresActInd) not G3756, and G2532 the fire G4442 is G4570 not G3756 quenched G4570 (PresPasInd).
[45] And G2532 if G1437 thy G4675 foot G4228 offend G4624 (PresActSubj) thee G4571, cut G609 it G846 off G609 (AorActImpr): it is G2076 (PresInd) better G2570 for thee G4671 to enter G1525 (Aor2ActInf) halt G5560 into G1519 life G2222, than G2228 having G2192 (PresActPtc) two G1417 feet G4228 to be cast G906 (AorPasInf) into G1519 hell G1067, into G1519 the fire G4442 that never shall be quenched G762:

[47] And G2532 if G1437 thine G4675 eye G3788 offend G4624 (PresActSubj) thee G4571, pluck G1544 it G846 out G1544 (Aor2ActImpr): it is G2076 (PresInd) better G2570 for thee G4671 to enter G1525 (Aor2ActInf) into G1519 the kingdom G932 of God G2316 with one eye G3442, than G2228 having G2192 (PresActPtc) two G1417 eyes G3788 to be cast G906 (AorPasInf) into G1519 hell G1067 fire G4442:
[48] Where G3699 their G846 worm G4663 dieth G5053 (PresActInd) not G3756, and G2532 the fire G4442 is G4570 not G3756 quenched G4570 (PresPasInd).
[49] For G1063 every one G3956 shall be salted G233 (FutPasInd) with fire G4442, and G2532 every G3956 sacrifice G2378 shall be salted G233 (FutPasInd) with salt G251.
[50] Salt G217 [is] good G2570: but G1161 if G1437 the salt G217 have lost G1096 (Aor2MidDepSubj) his saltness G358, wherewith G1722 G5101 will ye season G741 (FutActInd) it G846? Have G2192 (PresActImpr) salt G217 in G1722 yourselves G1438, and G2532 have peace G1514 (PresActImpr) one G240 with G1722 another G240.

Young’s Literal Translation

Mark 9 (YLT)

[1] And he said to them, ‘Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.’
[2] And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,
[3] and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten them.
[4] And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
[5] And Peter answering saith to Jesus, ‘Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:’
[6] for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
[7] And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is My Son-the Beloved, hear ye him;’
[8] and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.
[9] And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;
[10] and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
[11] And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.
[12] And he answering said to them, ‘Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?
[13] But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.’
[14] And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them,
[15] and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.
[16] And he questioned the scribes, ‘What dispute ye with them?’
[17] and one out of the multitude answering said, ‘Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
[18] and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.’
[19] And he answering him, said, ‘O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;’
[20] and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing-foaming.
[21] And he questioned his father, ‘How long time is it since this came to him?’ and he said, ‘From childhood,
[22] and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.’
[23] And Jesus said to him, ‘If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;’
[24] and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, ‘I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.’
[25] Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, ‘Spirit-dumb and deaf-I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;’
[26] and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
[27] but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
[28] And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself-‘Why were we not able to cast it forth?’
[29] And he said to them, ‘This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.’
[30] And having gone forth thence, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know,
[31] for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, ‘The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,’
[32] but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.
[33] And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, ‘What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?’
[34] and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;
[35] and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, ‘If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.’
[36] And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in his arms, said to them,
[37] ‘Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me, but Him who sent me.’
[38] And John did answer him, saying, ‘Teacher, we saw a certain one in thy name casting out demons, who doth not follow us, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow us.’
[39] And Jesus said, ‘Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:
[40] for he who is not against us is for us;
[41] for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are Christ’s, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward;
[42] and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.
[43] ‘And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire-the unquenchable-
[44] where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.
[45] ‘And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire-the unquenchable-
[46] where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.
[47] And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire-
[48] where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;
[49] for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted.
[50] The salt is good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season it? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.’
