And kai he said legō to them autos, “ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, there are eimi some tis standing histēmi here hōde · ho who hostis will not ou mē taste geuomai death thanatos until heōs an they see the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos having come erchomai with en power dynamis.”

And kai after meta six hex days hēmera Jesus Iēsous took paralambanō · ho with him · ho Peter Petros and kai · ho James Iakōbos and kai · ho John Iōannēs, and kai led anapherō them autos up eis a high hypsēlos mountain oros by themselves kata. And kai he was transfigured metamorphoō before emprosthen them autos, and kai · ho his autos clothes himation became ginomai radiant stilbō, intensely lian white leukos, as hoios no ou launderer gnapheus on epi · ho earth could dynamai bleach leukainō them. And kai Elijah ēlias appeared horaō to them autos with syn Moses Mōysēs, and kai they were eimi talking syllaleō with · ho Jesus Iēsous. And kai answering apokrinomai, · ho Peter Petros said legō to ho Jesus Iēsous, “ Rabbi rhabbi, it is eimi good kalos that we hēmeis are eimi here hōde. · kai Let us make poieō three treis shelters skēnē: one heis for you sy and kai one heis for Moses Mōysēs and kai one heis for Elijah ēlias”— for gar he did not ou know oida what tis he should reply apokrinomai, because gar they were ginomai so frightened ekphobos. Then kai a cloud nephelē appeared ginomai, overshadowing episkiazō them autos, and kai a voice phōnē came ginomai out ek of the ho cloud nephelē, “ This houtos is eimi · ho my egō Son hyios, the ho beloved agapētos, listen akouō to him autos!” And kai suddenly exapina, looking periblepō around , they no longer ouketi saw anyone oudeis, but alla only monos · ho Jesus Iēsous with meta them heautou.

And kai as they autos were coming katabainō down from ek the ho mountain oros, he ordered diastellō them autos not to hina tell diēgeomai anyone mēdeis what hos they had seen, until ei mē the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos should rise anistēmi from ek the dead nekros. 10 So kai they kept krateō this ho saying logos to pros themselves heautou, questioning syzēteō what tis the ho rising anistēmi of ek the dead nekros could eimi mean . 11 And kai they asked eperōtaō him autos, saying legō, “ Why hoti do the ho scribes grammateus say legō, ‘ Elijah ēlias must dei come erchomai first prōton’?” 12 And de he ho said phēmi to them autos, “ Elijah ēlias does come erchomai first prōton, and restores apokathistēmi all pas things . Yet kai how pōs is it written graphō about epi the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos? That hina he should suffer paschō many things polys and kai be treated exoudeneō with contempt ? 13 But alla I tell legō you hymeis that hoti · kai Elijah ēlias has come erchomai, and kai they did poieō to him autos whatever hosos they pleased thelō, just kathōs as it is written graphō about epi him autos.”

14 And kai when they came erchomai to pros the ho disciples mathētēs, they saw a large polys crowd ochlos around peri them autos, and kai scribes grammateus arguing syzēteō with pros them autos. 15 And kai immediately the ho entire pas crowd ochlos, when they saw him autos, were greatly amazed ekthambeō, and kai running prostrechō up to him, they greeted aspazomai him autos. 16 And kai he asked eperōtaō them autos, “ What tis are you arguing syzēteō about with pros them autos?” 17 And kai one heis of ek the ho crowd ochlos answered apokrinomai him autos, “ Teacher didaskalos, I brought pherō · ho my egō son hyios to pros you sy, who has echō a mute alalos spirit pneuma. 18 And kai whenever hopou ean it seizes katalambanō him autos, it throws rhēssō him autos down , and kai he foams aphrizō at the mouth and kai grinds trizō his ho teeth odous and kai becomes xērainō rigid . So kai I asked legō · ho your sy disciples mathētēs to hina cast ekballō it autos out ekballō, but kai they were not ou able ischuō.” 19 Answering apokrinomai them autos he ho · de said legō, “ O ō unbelieving apistos generation genea! How heōs long pote must I be eimi with pros you hymeis? How heōs long pote must I put anechōmai up with you hymeis? Bring pherō him autos to pros me egō.” 20 And kai they brought pherō the boy autos to pros him autos. And kai when the ho spirit pneuma saw him autos, immediately it convulsed sysparassō him autos; and kai falling piptō on epi the ho ground , the boy began to roll kyliō about , foaming aphrizō at the mouth . 21 And kai Jesus asked eperōtaō · ho his autos father patēr, “ How posos long chronos has eimi this hōs houtos been happening ginomai to him autos?” And de he ho said legō, “ Since ek childhood paidiothen; 22 indeed kai frequently pollakis it has ballō even kai cast ballō him autos into eis fire pyr and kai into eis water hydōr to hina destroy apollymi him autos. But alla if ei you can do dynamai anything tis, have compassion splanchnizomai on epi us hēmeis and help boētheō us hēmeis.” 23 · ho And de Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho “‘ If ei you can dynamai’! All pas things are possible dynatos for the ho one who has faith pisteuō.” 24 Immediately the ho father patēr of the ho boy paidion cried out krazō and said legō, “ I believe pisteuō; help boētheō my egō · ho unbelief apistia!” 25 When Jesus Iēsous saw · de · ho that hoti a crowd ochlos was quickly gathering episyntrechō, he rebuked epitimaō the ho unclean akathartos spirit pneuma, · ho saying legō to it autos, · ho Mute alalos and kai deaf kōphos spirit pneuma, I egō command epitassō you sy, come exerchomai out ek of him autos and kai never mēketi enter eiserchomai eis him autos again!” 26 · kai After crying krazō out and kai convulsing sparassō him violently polys, the spirit came exerchomai out ; and kai the boy was ginomai like hōsei a corpse nekros, so hōste that · ho many polys were saying legō, “ He is dead apothnēskō.” 27 · ho But de Jesus Iēsous, taking krateō him autos by the ho hand cheir, lifted egeirō him autos up, and kai he stood anistēmi up . 28 And kai when he autos had entered eiserchomai the house oikos, · ho his autos disciples mathētēs asked eperōtaō him autos in private kata, “ Why hoti were we hēmeis not ou able dynamai to cast ekballō it autos out ?” 29 And kai he said legō to them autos, “ This houtos · ho kind genos cannot en oudeis come exerchomai out except ei mē by en prayer proseuchē.”

30 And kakeithen leaving exerchomai there, they went paraporeuomai on through dia · ho Galilee Galilaia. And kai Jesus did not ou want thelō anyone tis to know ginōskō about it; 31 for gar he was teaching didaskō · ho his autos disciples mathētēs and kai saying legō to them autos, “ The ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is going to be delivered paradidōmi into eis the hands cheir of men anthrōpos, and kai they will kill apokteinō him autos.

33 And kai they came erchomai to eis Capernaum Kapharnaoum; and kai when he was ginomai in en the ho house oikia, he asked eperōtaō them autos, “ What tis were you discussing dialogizomai on en the ho way hodos?” 34 But de they ho kept silent siōpaō, for gar on en the ho way hodos they had argued dialegomai among pros themselves allēlōn about who tis was the greatest megas. 35 And kai sitting kathizō down , he called phōneō the ho twelve dōdeka and kai said legō to them autos, “ If ei anyone tis would thelō be eimi first prōtos, he must be eimi last eschatos of all pas and kai servant diakonos of all pas.” 36 And kai taking lambanō a child paidion, he put histēmi him autos in en the midst mesos of them autos, and kai taking enankalizomai him autos in his arms, he said legō to them autos, 37  Whoever hos an receives dechomai one heis of ho these toioutos children paidion in epi · ho my egō name onoma, receives dechomai me egō; and kai whoever hos an receives dechomai me egō, receives dechomai not ou me egō but alla the ho one who sent apostellō me egō.”

38 John Iōannēs said phēmi to him autos, · ho Teacher didaskalos, we saw someone tis casting out ekballō demons daimonion in en · ho your sy name onoma, and kai we tried to stop kōlyō him autos because hoti he was not ou following akoloutheō us hēmeis.” 39 · ho But de Jesus Iēsous said legō, “ Do not stop kōlyō him autos, for gar there is eimi no one oudeis who hos will do poieō a mighty work dynamis in epi · ho my egō name onoma and kai be able dynamai soon tachus after to speak kakologeō evil of me egō. 40 For gar whoever hos is eimi not ou against kata us hēmeis is eimi for hyper us hēmeis. 41 For gar I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, whoever hos gives you hymeis a cup potērion of water hydōr to drink potizō because hoti you bear eimi the name onoma of Christ Christos will most certainly not ou lose apollymi · ho his autos reward misthos.

And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not (A)taste death (B)until they see the kingdom of God after it has come (C)with power.”

The Transfiguration

(D)And after six days Jesus took with him (E)Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was (F)transfigured before them, and (G)his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one[a] on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter said to Jesus, (H)“Rabbi,[b] it is good that we are here. Let us make three (I)tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” For (J)he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. And (K)a cloud overshadowed them, and (L)a voice came out of the cloud, (M)“This is my beloved Son;[c] (N)listen to him.” And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

(O)And as they were coming down the mountain, (P)he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, (Q)until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 (R)So they kept the matter to themselves, (S)questioning what this rising from the dead might mean. 11 And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say (T)that first Elijah must come?” 12 And he said to them, “Elijah does come first (U)to restore all things. And (V)how is it written of the Son of Man that he should (W)suffer many things and (X)be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and (Y)they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”

Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit

14 (Z)And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. 15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, (AA)were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. 16 And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” 17 And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has (AB)a spirit that makes him mute. 18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and (AC)they were not able.” 19 And he answered them, “O (AD)faithless generation, (AE)how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.” 20 And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it (AF)convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. 21 And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But (AG)if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” 23 And Jesus said to him, (AH)“‘If you can’! (AI)All things are possible for one who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out[d] and said, “I believe; (AJ)help my unbelief!” 25 And when Jesus saw that (AK)a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, (AL)“You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” 26 And after crying out and (AM)convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus (AN)took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 28 And when he had (AO)entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” 29 And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”[e]

Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection

30 (AP)They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know, 31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, (AQ)after three days he will rise.” 32 (AR)But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

Who Is the Greatest?

33 And (AS)they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house (AT)he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the way (AU)they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35 And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, (AV)“If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” 36 And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and (AW)taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 (AX)“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and (AY)whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”

Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us

38 (AZ)John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone (BA)casting out demons in your name,[f] and (BB)we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 (BC)For the one who is not against us is for us. 41 For truly, I say to you, (BD)whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.

Temptations to Sin

42 (BE)“Whoever causes one of (BF)these little ones who believe in me to sin,[g] (BG)it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. 43 (BH)And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to (BI)hell,[h] to (BJ)the unquenchable fire.[i] 45 (BK)And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into (BL)hell. 47 (BM)And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into (BN)hell, 48 ‘where (BO)their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 49 For everyone will be salted with fire.[j] 50 (BP)Salt is good, (BQ)but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? (BR)Have salt in yourselves, and (BS)be at peace with one another.”

The Transfiguration(C)(D)

After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John(E) with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white,(F) whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(G) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)

Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud:(H) “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”(I)

Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone(J) what they had seen until the Son of Man(K) had risen from the dead. 10 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.

11 And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

12 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man(L) must suffer much(M) and be rejected?(N) 13 But I tell you, Elijah has come,(O) and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”

Jesus Heals a Boy Possessed by an Impure Spirit(P)

14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.

16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.

17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”

19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”

20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.(Q)

21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”

“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”

23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”(R)

24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene,(S) he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”

26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.

28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately,(T) “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.[a]

Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time(U)

30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man(V) is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him,(W) and after three days(X) he will rise.”(Y) 32 But they did not understand what he meant(Z) and were afraid to ask him about it.

33 They came to Capernaum.(AA) When he was in the house,(AB) he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” 34 But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.(AC)

35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”(AD)

36 He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms,(AE) he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”(AF)

Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us(AG)

38 “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”(AH)

39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40 for whoever is not against us is for us.(AI) 41 Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.(AJ)

Causing to Stumble

42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble,(AK) it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.(AL) 43 If your hand causes you to stumble,(AM) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell,(AN) where the fire never goes out.(AO) [44] [b] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble,(AP) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.(AQ) [46] [c] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble,(AR) pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,(AS) 48 where

“‘the worms that eat them do not die,
    and the fire is not quenched.’[d](AT)

49 Everyone will be salted(AU) with fire.

50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again?(AV) Have salt among yourselves,(AW) and be at peace with each other.”(AX)
