Mark 9

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 And he said to them, 'In truth I tel you, there are some standing here who wil not taste death beforethey see the kingdom of God come with power.'	1 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 was transfigured before them.
2 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain ontheir own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured:	2 And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
3 his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them.	3 And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
4 Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.	4 And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, 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.
5 Then Peter spoke to Jesus, 'Rabbi,' he said, 'it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make threeshelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.'	5 For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
6 He did not know what to say; they were so frightened.	6 And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him.
7 And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, 'This is my Son,the Beloved. Listen to him.'	7 And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.
8 Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.	8 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain he warned them to tel no one what they had seen, untilafter the Son of man had risen from the dead.	9 And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
10 They observed the warning faithful y, though among themselves they discussed what 'rising from thedead' could mean.	10 And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
11 And they put this question to him, 'Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?'	11 Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.
12 He said to them, 'Elijah is indeed first coming to set everything right again; yet how is it that thescriptures say about the Son of man that he must suffer grievously and be treated with contempt?	12 But I say to you, that Elias also is come, (and they have done to him whatsoever they would,) as it is written of him.
13 But I tel you that Elijah has come and they have treated him as they pleased, just as the scripturessay about him.'	13 And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
14 As they were rejoining the disciples they saw a large crowd round them and some scribes arguing withthem.	14 And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
15 At once, when they saw him, the whole crowd were struck with amazement and ran to greet him.	15 And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
16 And he asked them, 'What are you arguing about with them?'	16 And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
17 A man answered him from the crowd, 'Master, I have brought my son to you; there is a spirit ofdumbness in him,	17 Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
18 and when it takes hold of him it throws him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds histeeth and goes rigid. And I asked your disciples to drive it out and they were unable to.'	18 Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
19 In reply he said to them, 'Faithless generation, how much longer must I be among you? How muchlonger must I put up with you? Bring him to me.'	19 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
20 They brought the boy to him, and at once the spirit of dumbness threw the boy into convulsions, andhe fel to the ground and lay writhing there, foaming at the mouth.	20 And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
21 Jesus asked the father, 'How long has this been happening to him?' 'From childhood,' he said,	21 And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
22 'and it has often thrown him into fire and into water, in order to destroy him.	22 And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
23 But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us.'	23 And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
24 'If you can?' retorted Jesus. 'Everything is possible for one who has faith.' At once the father of the boycried out, 'I have faith. Help my lack of faith!'	24 And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd was gathering, he rebuked the unclean spirit. 'Deaf and dumbspirit,' he said, 'I command you: come out of him and never enter him again.'	25 And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
26 Then it threw the boy into violent convulsions and came out shouting, and the boy lay there so like acorpse that most of them said, 'He is dead.'	26 But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him up, and he was able to stand.	27 And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
28 When he had gone indoors, his disciples asked him when they were by themselves, 'Why were weunable to drive it out?'	28 And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
29 He answered, 'This is the kind that can be driven out only by prayer.'	29 And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
30 After leaving that place they made their way through Galilee; and he did not want anyone to know,	30 And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
31 because he was instructing his disciples; he was telling them, 'The Son of man wil be delivered intothe power of men; they will put him to death; and three days after he has been put to death he will rise again.'	31 But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
32 But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to ask him.	32 And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
33 They came to Capernaum, and when he got into the house he asked them, 'What were you arguingabout on the road?'	33 But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
34 They said nothing, because on the road they had been arguing which of them was the greatest.	34 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.
35 So he sat down, called the Twelve to him and said, 'If anyone wants to be first, he must make himselflast of all and servant of all.'	35 And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
36 He then took a little child whom he set among them and embraced, and he said to them,	36 Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
37 'Anyone who welcomes a little child such as this in my name, welcomes me; and anyone whowelcomes me, welcomes not me but the one who sent me.'	37 John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.
38 John said to him, 'Master, we saw someone who is not one of us driving out devils in your name, andbecause he was not one of us we tried to stop him.'	38 But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.
39 But Jesus said, 'You must not stop him; no one who works a miracle in my name could soonafterwards speak evil of me.	39 For he that is not against you, is for you.
40 Anyone who is not against us is for us.	40 For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
41 'If anyone gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, then in truth I tel you, he wilmost certainly not lose his reward.	41 And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
42 'But anyone who is the downfal of one of these little ones who have faith, would be better thrown intothe sea with a great mil stone hung round his neck.	42 And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:
43 And if your hand should be your downfal , cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than tohave two hands and go to hel , into the fire thatnever be put out.	43 Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
44	44 And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:
45 And if your foot should be your downfal , cut it off; it is better for you enter into life lame, than to havetwo feet and be thrown into hell.	45 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
46	46 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:
47 And if your eye should be your downfal , tear it out; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of Godwith one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell	47 Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
48 where their worm will never die nor their fire be put out.	48 For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
49 For everyone wil be salted with fire.	49 Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavory; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
50 Salt is a good thing, but if salt has become insipid, how can you make it salty again? Have salt inyourselves and be at peace with one another.'
