Mark 9:1-26 ▼

1 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, That some of those are standing here, who should not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God having come in power.

2 And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up into a high mountain apart alone: and he was transformed before them.

3 And his garments were shining, exceeding white, such as no fuller on earth can make white.

4 And Elias was seen to them, with Moses: and they were speaking together with Jesus.

5 And Peter having answered, says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

6 For he knew not what he said; for they were terrified.

7 And a cloud was overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son: hear ye him.

8 And suddenly, having looked around, they no more saw any one, but Jesus alone with them.

9 And they coming down from the mount, he charged them that they recount to none what they saw, except when the Son of man should arise from the dead.

10 And they held the word firmly to themselves, searching out together what it is to arise from the dead.

11 And having asked him, saying, That the scribes say that Elias must first come.

12 And he having answered, said to them, Elias truly having first come, restores all things; and how it has been written of the Son of man, that he suffer many things; and be set at nought.

13 But I say to you, that Elias also has come, and they did to him whatever they would, as it has been written of him.

14 And having come to the disciples, he saw a great crowd about them, and the scribes seeking out with them.

15 And immediately all the crowd; having seen him, were amazed, and running near greeted him.

16 And he asked the scribes, What seek ye together with them?

17 And one from the crowd having answered, said, Teacher, I have brought my son to thee, having a speechless spirit.

18 And wherever he overtakes him, he rends him: and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and he is dried up: and I spake to thy disciples that they might cast him out; and they could not.

19 And he having answered, says to him, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.

20 And they brought him to him: and having seen him, quickly the spirit rent him; and having fallen upon the earth, foaming he rolled himself about.

21 And he asked his father, How long is it that this has been to him? And he said, From childhood.

22 And many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou canst anything, help us, having had compassion upon us.

23 And Jesus said to him, If thou canst believe, all things possible to him believing.

24 And quickly the child's father having cried out with tears, said, I believe, O Lord, help thou mine unbelief.

25 And Jesus, having seen that the crowd ran together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Speechless and deaf spirit, I command thee to come out of him, and that thou come no more into him.

26 And having cried and rent him much, it came forth, and he was as dead; so that many said, That he is dead.
