1	And he saide vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that there be some of them that stande here, which shall not taste of death till they haue seene the kingdome of God come with power.	And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”	And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”
2	And sixe dayes after, Iesus taketh vnto him Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and carieth them vp into an hie mountaine out of the way alone, and his shape was changed before them.	And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,	After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them.
3	And his rayment did shine, and was very white, as snowe, so white as no fuller can make vpon the earth.	and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them.	His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.
4	And there appeared vnto them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Iesus.	And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.	And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
5	Then Peter answered, and said to Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: let vs make also three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.	And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”	Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
6	Yet hee knewe not what he saide: for they were afraide.	For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.	(He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)
7	And there was a cloude that shadowed them, and a voyce came out of the cloude, saying, This is my beloued Sonne: heare him.	And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.”	Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”
8	And suddenly they looked roud about, and sawe no more any man saue Iesus only with them.	And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.	Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9	And as they came downe from the mountaine, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seene, saue when the Sonne of man were risen from the dead againe.	And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.	As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10	So they kept that matter to themselues, and demaunded one of another, what the rising from the dead againe should meane?	So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean.	They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.
11	Also they asked him, saying, Why say the Scribes, that Elias must first come?	And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?”	And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”
12	And he answered, and said vnto them, Elias verely shall first come, and restore all things: and as it is written of the Sonne of man, hee must suffer many things, and be set at nought.	And he said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?	Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected?
13	But I say vnto you, that Elias is come, (and they haue done vnto him whatsoeuer they would) as it is written of him.	But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”	But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”
14	And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the Scribes disputing with them.	And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.	When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them.
15	And straightway all the people, when they behelde him, were amased, and ranne to him, and saluted him.	And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him.	As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
16	Then hee asked the Scribes, What dispute you among your selues?	And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?”	“What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.
17	And one of the companie answered, and said, Master, I haue brought my sonne vnto thee, which hath a dumme spirit:	And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute.	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	And wheresoeuer he taketh him, he teareth him, and he fometh, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they could not.	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 they were not able.”	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	Then he answered him, & said, O faithlesse generation, how long now shall I be with you! how long now shall I suffer you! Bring him vnto me.	And he answered them, “O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.”	“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 vnto him: & assoone as the spirit sawe him, hee tare him, and hee fell downe on the ground walowing and foming.	And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.	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.
21	Then he asked his father, How long time is it since he hath bin thus? And he said, Of a childe.	And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.	Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered.
22	And oft times he casteth him into the fire, & into the water to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, helpe vs, and haue compassion vpo vs.	And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”	“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	And Iesus said vnto him, If thou canst beleeue it, al things are possible to him that beleeueth.	And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.”	“’If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
24	And straightway the father of the childe crying with teares, saide, Lorde, I beleeue: helpe my vnbeliefe.	Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”	Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
25	When Iesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the vncleane spirit, saying vnto him, Thou domme & deafe spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, & enter no more into him.	And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”	When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, 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	Then the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out, and he was as one dead, in so much that many said, He is dead.	And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.”	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 Iesus tooke his hande, and lift him vp, and he arose.	But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.	But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
28	And when hee was come into the house, his disciples asked him secretly, Why could not we cast him out?	And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”	After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29	And he saide vnto them, This kinde can by no other meanes come foorth, but by prayer and fasting.	And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”	He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.”
30	And they departed thence, and went together through Galile, and hee would not that any should haue knowen it.	They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know,	They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were,
31	For he taught his disciples, and saide vnto them, The Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men, and they shall kill him, but after that he is killed, he shall rise againe the third day.	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, after three days he will rise.”	because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.”
32	But they vnderstoode not that saying, and were afraide to aske him.	But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.	But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.
33	After, he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among you by the way?	And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”	They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?”
34	And they helde their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselues, who should bee the chiefest.	But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.	But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.
35	And he sate downe, and called the twelue, and said to them, If any man desire to be first, the same shalbe last of all, and seruant vnto all.	And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”	Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”
36	And he tooke a litle childe, and set him in the middes of them, and tooke him in his armes, and sayd vnto them,	And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,	He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,
37	Whosoeuer shall receiue one of such litle children in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer receiueth mee, receiueth not me, but him that sent me.	“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”	“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.”
38	Then Iohn answered him, saying, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils by thy Name, which followeth not vs, and we forbade him, because he followeth vs not.	John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.”	“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.”
39	But Iesus sayd, Forbid him not: for there is no man that can doe a miracle by my Name, that can lightly speake euill of me.	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.	“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 whosoeuer is not against vs, is on our part.	For the one who is not against us is for us.	for whoever is not against us is for us.
41	And whosoeuer shall giue you a cup of water to drinke for my Names sake, because ye belong to Christ, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.	For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.	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.
42	And whosoeuer shal offend one of these litle ones, that beleeue in me, it were better for him rather, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into the sea.	“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in 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.	“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.
43	Wherefore, if thine hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, then hauing two hands, to goe into hell, into the fire that neuer shalbe quenched,	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 hell, to the unquenchable fire.	If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.
44	Where their worme dyeth not, & the fire neuer goeth out.
45	Likewise, if thy foote cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to go halt into life, then hauing two feete, to be cast into hell, into the fire that neuer shalbe quenched,	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 hell.	And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.
46	Where their worme dyeth not, & the fire neuer goeth out.
47	And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out: it is better for thee to goe into the kingdome of God with one eye, then hauing two eyes, to be cast into hell fire,	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 hell,	And if your eye causes you to stumble, 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,
48	Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out.	‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’	where “’the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49	For euery man shalbe salted with fire: and euery sacrifice shalbe salted with salt.	For everyone will be salted with fire.	Everyone will be salted with fire.
50	Salt is good: but if the salt be vnsauerie, wherewith shall it be seasoned? haue salt in your selues, and haue peace one with another.	Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”	“Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”
