Mark 9

¹And after six days Jesus taketh Peter and James and John, and bringeth them alone into a high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them.

²And his garments were made glistering and white exceedingly as snow, the like whereof a fuller cannot make white upon the earth.

³And there appeared to them Elias with Moyses; 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 Moyses, and one for Elias.

⁵For he knew not what he said; for they were frighted with fear:

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

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

⁸And as they descended from the mountain, he commanded them that they should not tell any man what things they had seen, but when the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.

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

¹⁰And they asked him, saying: What say the Pharisees then and the Scribes, that Elias must come first?

¹¹Who answering said to them: Elias when he cometh first, shall restore all things: and how it is written of the Son of man, that he shall suffer many things and be contemned.

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 questioning with them.

¹⁴And forthwith all the people seeing Jesus, was astonished, and much afraid: and running to him, saluted him.

¹⁵And he asked them, what do you question of 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 withereth: and I spake 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 upon the ground, he tumbled foaming.

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

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

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

²³And incontinent the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe Lord; help my incredulity.

²⁴And when Jesus saw the people 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, that he is dead.

²⁶But Jesus holding his hand, lifted him up; and he rose.

²⁷And when he was entered 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.

²⁹And departing thence they passed by Galilee, neither would he that any man should know.

³⁰And he taught his Disciples, and said to them: That the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and being killed the third day he shall rise again.

³¹But they knew not the word: and they were afraid to ask him.

³²And they came to Capharnaum. Who, when he was in the house, asked them, what did you treat of in the way?

³³But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greater.

³⁴And sitting down, he called the Twelve, and saith to them: If any man will be first, he shall be last of all, and the minister of all.

³⁵And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he said to them:

³⁶Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me. And Whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁷John answered him, saying: Master we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we prohibited him.

³⁸But Jesus said: Do not prohibit him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.

³⁹For he that is not against you, is for you.

⁴⁰For Whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you are Christ's; amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

⁴¹And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones believing in me; it is good for him rather if a millstone were put about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

⁴²And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off. It is good for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire unquenchable,

⁴³where their worm dieth not, and the fire quencheth not.

⁴⁴And if thy foot scandalize thee, chop it off. It is good for thee to enter into life everlasting, lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire,

⁴⁵where their worm dieth not, and the fire quencheth not.

⁴⁶And if thine eye scandalize thee, cast it out. It is good for thee with one eye to enter into the Kingdom of God, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into the hell of fire,

⁴⁷where their worm dieth not, and the fire quencheth not.

⁴⁸For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.

⁴⁹Salt is good. But if the salt shall be unseasoned; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
