9:1 And he said to them, Assuredly I say to you*, There are some of those standing here, who may never* taste of death, until they should see the kingdom of God come with power.
{Mk 9:2-13 & Mt 17:1-13 & Lk 9:28-36 Caesarea Philippi.}


9:2 And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter and James and John and brings them up alone into a high mountain privately and he was transfigured in front of them;

9:3 and his garments became gleaming, exceedingly white like snow, such-as no launderer upon the earth is able to whiten.

9:4 And Elijah with Moses appeared to them and they were speaking with Jesus.


9:5 And Peter answering, says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here and we should make* three tabernacles; one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.

9:6 For* he did not know what he will say; for* they were fearful.


9:7 And there became a cloud overshadowing them and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear him!

9:8 And suddenly having looked around, they saw no one any more, but only Jesus with themselves.


9:9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that* they should describe to no one what they had seen, except whenever the Son of Man rises* up from the dead.

9:10 And they took-hold of the saying, debating together, What is the rising* up from the dead?

9:11 And they asked him, saying, How is it that the scribes say that it is essential for Elijah to come first?


9:12 And answering, he said to them, Elijah indeed comes first and restores all things and how is it written of the Son of Man, that* he may suffer many things and may be scorned?

9:13 But I say to you* that Elijah has come and they have also done to him as many things as they willed, just-as it has been written of him.
{Mk 9:14-29 & Mt 17:14-21 & Lk 9:37-43 Region of Caesarea Philippi.}


9:14 And when he came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes debating with them.

9:15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were utterly amazed and running up to him, they greeted him.

9:16 And he asked them, What are you* debating with them?


9:17 And one out of the crowd answering, said, Teacher, I brought my son to you, who has a mute spirit;

9:18 and wherever it overtakes him, it rips at him and he foams and grinds his teeth and he is dried up and I spoke to your disciples that* they might cast it out, and yet they were not strong-enough.


9:19 And answering him, he says, O unbelieving generation, until when shall I be with you*? Until when shall I tolerate you*? Bring him to me.

9:20 And they brought him to him and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell upon the earth. He wallowed– foaming.

9:21 And he asked his father, How long a time has things like this happened to him?
And he said, From childhood.

9:22 And often it has cast him both into fire and into waters, that* it might destroy him, but if you are able to do anything, help us and have compassion upon us.


9:23 And Jesus said to him, If you are able to believe. All things are possible to him who believes.

9:27 But having taken-hold of him by the hand, Jesus lifts him, and he stood up.

9:28 And when he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, How is it that we were not able to cast it out?


9:29 And he said to them, This variety is not able to come out by anything, except in prayer and fasting.
{Mk 9:30-32 & Mt 17:22-23 & Lk 9:43-45 Return to Galilee.}


9:30 And they went forth from there and traveled through Galilee, and he did not wish that* anyone should know it.

9:31 For* he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of Man is to be given up into the hands of men and they will kill him, and having been killed, he will rise* up in the third day.

9:32 But they did not consider the declaration and were afraid to ask him.
{Mt 17:24-27 Capernaum Sept. 29 AD}
{Mk 9:33-50 & Mt 18:1-14 & Lk 9:46-50 Sept. 29 AD.}


9:33 And he came to Capernaum and when he happened to be in the house he asked them, What were you* reasoning among yourselves by the road?

9:34 But they were silent; for* they had reasoned with one another on the road, who was the greater.

9:35 And sitting down, he summoned the twelve, and he said to them, If anyone wishes to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.

9:36 And he took a little child and stood him in the midst of them and embracing him, he said to them,

9:37 Whoever accepts one little child of such in my name, accepts me and whoever accepts me, does not accept me, but he who sent me.


9:38 And John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, who is not following us and we were forbidding him, because he is not following us.


9:39 But Jesus said, Do not forbid him; for* there is no one who will do a miracle in my name and be able to speak evil of me quickly.

9:40 For* he who is not against you* is working on your* behalf.

9:41 For* whoever gives you* a cup of water to drink in my name, because you* are of Christ, assuredly I say to you*, he may never* lose his reward.

9:42 And whoever offends one of these little ones who believe in me, it is good for him rather if a mill's stone encompassed his neck and he had been cast into the sea.


9:43 And if your hand offends you, cut it off. It is good for you to enter into life crippled, rather than having your two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire,

9:44 where a maggot of them is not dead* and the fire is not quenched.

9:45 And if your foot offends you, cut it off. It is good for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire,

9:46 where a maggot is not dead* and the fire is not quenched.

9:47 And if your eye offends you, cast it out. It is good for you to enter into the kingdom of God one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire,

9:48 where a maggot of them is not dying and the fire is not quenched.

9:49 For* everyone will be salted with fire and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.

9:50 The salt is good, but if the salt has become non-salty, with what shall you* season it? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace one with another.
