          DASV: Mark 9    

1 Then Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, there are some
standing here who will not taste of death, until they see the
kingdom of God come with power."
2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John,
and brought them up into a high mountain apart by themselves.
He was transfigured before them,
3 and his garments became dazzling white, so that no launderer
on earth could bleach them any whiter.
4 Then Elijah with Moses appeared to them, and they were talking
with Jesus.
5 Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let
us make three memorial shelters, one for you, and one for Moses,
and one for Elijah."
6 For he did not know what to say, because they were terrified.
7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice out of the cloud
declared, "This is my beloved Son, listen to him."
8 Suddenly looking around they saw no one with them except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that
they should not tell anyone what they had seen, until after the
Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 So they kept it to themselves, questioning what the rising again
from the dead meant.
11 They asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come
first?"
12 He said to them, "Elijah indeed will come first, and restore
all things. But it is 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 did what they
wanted to him just as it was written about him."

14 When they came back to the disciples, they saw a great crowd
around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Immediately when the whole crowd saw him, they were greatly
amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 He asked them, "What were you arguing with them about?"
17 One of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son,
who has a spirit that renders him unable to speak.
18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at
the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. I spoke to
your disciples but they could not cast it out."
19 He answered them, "O faithless generation, how long will I be
with you? How long will I put up with you? Bring him to me."
20 So they brought him to Jesus. When he saw him, immediately
the spirit threw him into convulsions; he fell on the ground,
and rolled around foaming at the mouth.
21 He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has
come on him?" He replied, "Since childhood.
22 Often it has thrown him into the fire or into the water,
trying to destroy him, but if you can do anything, have compassion
on us, and help us."
23 Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to
him who believes."
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out, "I believe;
help my unbelief."
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he
rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You mute and
deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter
into him no more."
26 It shrieked, threw him into a convulsion, and came out.
The boy looked like a corpse; so much so that some said,
"He is dead."
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, raised him up, and he
got up.
28 After he entered the house, his disciples asked him
privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"
29 He said to them, "This kind comes only by prayer."

30 They left and traveled through Galilee, for he did not
want anyone to know about it.
31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them, "The Son
of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they
will kill him, and after three days he will rise again."
32 But they did not understand what he was saying, and
were afraid to ask him about it.
33 Then they came to Capernaum. When he was in the house
he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"
34 But they were silent, for on the way they had been
arguing over, who was the greatest.
35 He sat down, and called the twelve; and said to them,
"If any one would be first, he shall be last of all,
and servant of all."
36 Then he took a little child, and set him in the middle
of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 "Whoever will receive one of these little children in
my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives
not only me, but he who sent me."

38 John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out
demons in your name and we stopped him, because he did
not follow us."
39 But Jesus said, "Do not stop him for there is no one
who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able right
after that speak evil of me.
40 For he that is not against us is for us.
41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink,
because you are follower's of Christ, truly I say to you,
he will never lose his reward.
42 Whoever will cause one of these little ones that believe
on me to sin, it would be better for him if a great
millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown
into the sea.

43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better
for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two
hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.
44 [Some manuscripts have: "Where the worm does not die
and the fire is not quenched." cf. 9:48].
45 If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better
for you to enter into life lame than to have two feet
and to be thrown into hell.
46 [Some manuscripts have: "Where the worm does not die
and the fire is not quenched." cf. 9:48]
47 If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is
better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye,
than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell,
48 where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every one will be salted with fire.
50 Salt is good, but if salt loses its saltiness, how can
it be made salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be
at peace one with each other."
