The King James Version

Chapter 9 (CV)

¹ And He said to them, "Verily, I am saying to you that there are some of those standing here who under no circumstances should be tasting death till they should be perceiving the kingdom of God having come in power."
² And after six days, Jesus is taking aside Peter and James and John and is bringing them up into a very high mountain, privately, alone. And He was transformed in front of them.
³ And His garments became glistening, very white, as snow, such as no fuller on earth is able thus to whiten.
⁴ And Elijah, together with Moses, was seen by them, and they were conferring with Jesus.
⁵ And answering, Peter is saying to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is ideal for us to be here! And we should be making three tabernacles: for Thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one."
⁶ For he was not aware what he may answer, for they became terrified.
⁷ And there came a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!"
⁸ And suddenly, looking about, they no longer perceived anyone, except Jesus only, with themselves.
⁹ And at their descending from the mountain, He cautions them that they should be relating to no one what they perceived, except whenever the Son of Mankind may be rising from among the dead.
¹⁰ And they hold the word, discussing with themselves what is the rising from among the dead.
¹¹ And they inquired of Him, saying that "The Pharisees and the scribes are saying that Elijah must come first."
¹² Now He averred to them, "Elijah, indeed, coming first, is restoring all. And how is it written of the Son of Mankind that much may He be suffering and may be scorned?
¹³ But I am saying to you that even Elijah has come, and they do to him whatever they would, according as it is written of him."
¹⁴ And coming to the disciples, they perceived a vast throng about them, and scribes discussing with them.
¹⁵ And straightway the entire throng, perceiving Him, were overawed, and, racing toward Him, saluted Him.
¹⁶ And He inquires of the scribes, "What are you discussing with yourselves?"
¹⁷ And one out of the throng answered Him, "Teacher, I bring my son to Thee, having a dumb spirit.
¹⁸ And wheresoever it may be getting him down, it is tearing him, and he is frothing and grating his teeth, and is withering away. And I say to Thy disciples that they should be casting it out, and they are not strong enough."
¹⁹ Now He, answering, is saying to them, "O unbelieving generation! Till when shall I be with you? Till when shall I be with you? Bring him to Me."
²⁰ And they bring him to Him. And perceiving Him, the spirit straightway violently convulses him, and, falling on the earth, he wallowed, frothing.
²¹ And He inquires of his father, "How much time is it since this has come to him?" Now he said, "From a little boy.
²² And often it casts him into the fire also, and into waters, that it should be destroying him. But if Thou art in any way able, help us, having compassion on us!"
²³ Now Jesus said to him, "Why the if? You are able to believe. All is possible to him who is believing."
²⁴ Straightway, crying, the father of the little boy said, with tears, "I am believing! Help my unbelief!"
²⁵ Now Jesus, perceiving that the throng is racing on together, rebukes the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Dumb and deaf-mute spirit, I am enjoining you to come out of him, and by no means may you be entering into him any longer."
²⁶ And crying and convulsing him much, it came out. And he became as if dead, so that the majority are saying that he died.
²⁷ Now Jesus, holding his hand, rouses him, and he rose.
²⁸ And at His entering the house, His disciples inquired of Him privately, "Wherefore could we not cast it out?"
²⁹ And He said to them, "This species can come out by nothing except by prayer."
³⁰ And coming out thence, they went along through Galilee, and He did not want that anyone may know.
³¹ For He taught His disciples and said to them that "The Son of Mankind is being given up into the hands of men, and they will be killing Him. And, being killed, after three days He will be rising."
³² Yet they were ignorant of the declaration, and they feared to inquire of Him.
³³ And they came into Capernaum, and, coming to be in the house, He inquired of them, "What did you reason with yourselves on the road?"
³⁴ Yet they were silent, for they argued with one another on the road as to who is greatest.
³⁵ And, being seated, He summons the twelve and is saying to them, "If anyone is wanting to be first, he will be last of all, and servant of all."
³⁶ And, taking a little child, He stands it in their midst, and, clasping it in His arms, said to them,
³⁷ "Whoever should be receiving one of such little children in My name, is receiving Me, and whosoever may be receiving Me is not receiving Me, but Him Who commissions Me."
³⁸ John averred to Him, saying, "Teacher, we perceived someone casting out demons in Thy name, who is not following us, and we forbade him, for he followed not with us."
³⁹ Yet Jesus said, "Be not forbidding him, for there is no one who will be doing a powerful deed in My name, and will be able swiftly to speak evil of Me.
⁴⁰ For who is not against us is for us.
⁴¹ For whosoever should be giving you a cup of water to drink in the Name, seeing that you are Christ's, verily I am saying to you that by no means should he be losing his wages.
⁴² "And whosoever should be snaring one of these little ones who are believing in Me, ideal is it for him rather if a millstone requiring an ass to turn it were lying about his neck and he were cast into the sea.
⁴³ And if your hand should ever be snaring you, strike it off. It is ideal for you to be entering into life maimed, rather than, having two hands, to come away into Gehenna, into the unextinguished fire
⁴⁴ where their worm is not deceasing and the fire is not going out.
⁴⁵ And if your foot should be snaring you, strike it off. For it is ideal for you to be entering into life maimed or lame, rather than, having two feet, to be cast into Gehenna, into the unextinguished fire,
⁴⁶ where their worm is not deceasing and the fire is not going out.
⁴⁷ And if your eye should be snaring you, cast it out. It is ideal for you to be entering into the kingdom of God one-eyed, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,
⁴⁸ where their worm is not deceasing and the fire is not going out.
⁴⁹ For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
⁵⁰ Ideal is the salt, yet if the salt should be becoming savorless, with what will you be seasoning it? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another."

Chapter 9 (KJV)

¹ And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
² And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
³ And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
⁴ And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
⁵ And Peter answered and said 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 Elias.
⁶ For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
⁷ And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
⁸ And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
⁹ And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
¹⁰ And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
¹¹ And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
¹² And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
¹³ But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
¹⁴ And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
¹⁵ And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
¹⁶ And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
¹⁷ And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
¹⁸ And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
¹⁹ He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
²⁰ And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
²¹ And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
²² And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
²³ Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
²⁴ And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
²⁵ When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
²⁶ And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
²⁸ And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
²⁹ And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
³⁰ And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
³¹ For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
³² But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
³³ And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
³⁴ But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
³⁸ And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
⁴⁰ For he that is not against us is on our part.
⁴¹ For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
⁴² And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
⁴³ And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
⁴⁴ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
⁴⁵ And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
⁴⁶ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
⁴⁷ And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
⁴⁸ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
⁴⁹ For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
⁵⁰ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
