Mark 9:1-27 ▼

1 And He said to them, Truly I say unto you, that there are certain ones of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the kingdom of God, having come with power.

2 After six days Jesus takes Peter, and John, and James, and carries them up into an exceedingly high mountain privately alone; and was transfigured before them:

3 and His raiment became resplendent, exceedingly white like snow; as no fuller on earth is able to whiten.

4 And Elijah was seen by them with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

5 And Peter responding says to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah:

6 for he did not know what he might say; for they were afraid.

7 And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear ye Him.

8 And immediately looking around, they saw no one, but Jesus only with them.

9 And they coming down from the mountain, He charged them, that they should relate to no one the things which they saw, until the Son of man may rise from the dead.

10 And they held the word to themselves, inquiring, what it is to rise from the dead.

11 And they asked Him, saying, that the scribes say, that it behooves Elijah first to come.

12 He responding said to them, Elijah indeed having first come, restores all things: and how has it been written in reference to the Son of man, that he should suffer many things, and be set at naught?

13 But I say unto you, that Elijah indeed has come, and they did unto him so many things as they wished, as has been written in reference to him.

14 And having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them and the scribes disputing with them!

15 And immediately the whole multitude, seeing Him, became excited, and running to Him, seized Him; and He asked the scribes,

16 Why are you disputing with them?

17 And one responding from the multitude, said, Teacher, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.

18 And when he may take him, he lacerates him: and he froths, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away. And I said to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were not able.

19 And He responding to them, says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.

20 And they brought him to Him; and seeing Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him; and falling on the ground, he continued to wallow, foaming.

21 And He asked his father, How long is it since this occurred to him? And he said, from childhood:

22 and frequently he cast him into the fire and into the waters, in order that he may destroy him: but if you are able to do anything, assist us, being moved with compassion towards us.

23 And Jesus said to him, It is this, if you are able (to believe); all things are possible to him that believeth.

24 And immediately the father of the child crying out with tears, continued to say, I believe; assist thou my unbelief.

25 And Jesus seeing that the multitude are running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out from him, and enter no more into him.

26 And crying out, and convulsing he came out. And he became like a corpse; so that many said, that, he is dead.

27 And Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he stood up.
