Mark 9

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
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 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Αληθως, σας λεγω οτι ειναι τινες των εδω ισταμενων, οιτινες δεν θελουσι γευθη θανατον, εωσου ιδωσι την βασιλειαν του Θεου ελθουσαν μετα δυναμεως.
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 Και μεθ' ημερας εξ παραλαμβανει ο Ιησους τον Πετρον και τον Ιακωβον και τον Ιωαννην και αναβιβαζει αυτους εις ορος υψηλον κατ' ιδιαν μονους? και μετεμορφωθη εμπροσθεν αυτων?
3 his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them.	3 και τα ιματια αυτου εγειναν στιλπνα, λευκα λιαν ως χιων, οποια λευκαντης επι της γης δεν δυναται να λευκανη.
4 Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.	4 Και εφανη εις αυτους ο Ηλιας μετα του Μωυσεως, και ησαν συλλαλουντες μετα του Ιησου.
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 Και αποκριθεις ο Πετρος λεγει προς τον Ιησουν? Ραββι, καλον ειναι να ημεθα εδω? και ας καμωμεν τρεις σκηνας, δια σε μιαν και δια τον Μωυσην μιαν και δια τον Ηλιαν μιαν.
6 He did not know what to say; they were so frightened.	6 Διοτι δεν ηξευρε τι να ειπη? επειδη ησαν πεφοβισμενοι.
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 Και νεφελη επεσκιασεν αυτους, και ηλθε φωνη εκ της νεφελης, λεγουσα? Ουτος ειναι ο Υιος μου ο αγαπητος? αυτου ακουετε.
8 Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.	8 Και εξαιφνης περιβλεψαντες, δεν ειδον πλεον ουδενα, αλλα τον Ιησουν μονον μεθ' εαυτων.
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 Ενω δε κατεβαινον απο του ορους, παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους να μη διηγηθωσιν εις μηδενα οσα ειδον, ειμη οταν ο Υιος του ανθρωπου αναστηθη εκ νεκρων.
10 They observed the warning faithful y, though among themselves they discussed what 'rising from thedead' could mean.	10 Και εφυλαξαν τον λογον εν εαυτοις, συζητουντες προς αλληλους τι ειναι το να αναστηθη εκ νεκρων.
11 And they put this question to him, 'Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?'	11 Και ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες, Δια τι λεγουσιν οι γραμματεις οτι πρεπει να ελθη ο Ηλιας πρωτον;
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 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Ο Ηλιας μεν ελθων πρωτον αποκαθιστα παντα? και οτι ειναι γεγραμμενον περι του Υιου του ανθρωπου οτι πρεπει να παθη πολλα και να εξουδενωθη?
13 But I tel you that Elijah has come and they have treated him as they pleased, just as the scripturessay about him.'	13 σας λεγω ομως οτι και ο Ηλιας ηλθε, και επραξαν εις αυτον οσα ηθελησαν, καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον περι αυτου.
14 As they were rejoining the disciples they saw a large crowd round them and some scribes arguing withthem.	14 Και οτε ηλθε προς τους μαθητας, ειδε περι αυτους οχλον πολυν και γραμματεις καμνοντας συζητησεις μετ' αυτων.
15 At once, when they saw him, the whole crowd were struck with amazement and ran to greet him.	15 Και ευθυς πας ο οχλος ιδων αυτον εγεινεν εκθαμβος και προστρεχοντες ησπαζοντο αυτον.
16 And he asked them, 'What are you arguing about with them?'	16 Και ηρωτησε τους γραμματεις? Τι συζητειτε μετ' αυτων;
17 A man answered him from the crowd, 'Master, I have brought my son to you; there is a spirit ofdumbness in him,	17 Και αποκριθεις εις εκ του οχλου, ειπε? Διδασκαλε, εφερα προς σε τον υιον μου, εχοντα πνευμα αλαλον.
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 Και οπου πιαση αυτον σπαραττει αυτον, και αφριζει και τριζει τους οδοντας αυτου και ξηραινεται? και ειπον προς τους μαθητας σου να εκβαλωσιν αυτο, αλλα δεν ηδυνηθησαν.
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 Εκεινος δε αποκριθεις προς αυτον, λεγει? Ω γενεα απιστος, εως ποτε θελω εισθαι μεθ' υμων; εως ποτε θελω υπομενει υμας; φερετε αυτον προς εμε.
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 Και εφεραν αυτον προς αυτον. Και ως ειδεν αυτον, ευθυς το πνευμα εσπαραξεν αυτον, και πεσων επι της γης εκυλιετο αφριζων.
21 Jesus asked the father, 'How long has this been happening to him?' 'From childhood,' he said,	21 Και ηρωτησε τον πατερα αυτου? Ποσος καιρος ειναι αφου τουτο εγεινεν εις αυτον; Ο δε ειπε? Παιδιοθεν.
22 'and it has often thrown him into fire and into water, in order to destroy him.	22 Και πολλακις αυτον και εις πυρ ερριψε και εις υδατα, δια να απολεση αυτον? αλλ' εαν δυνασαι τι, βοηθησον ημας, σπλαγχνισθεις εφ' ημας.
23 But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us.'	23 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον? Το εαν δυνασαι να πιστευσης, παντα ειναι δυνατα εις τον πιστευοντα.
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 Και ευθυς κραξας ο πατηρ του παιδιου μετα δακρυων, ελεγε? Πιστευω, Κυριε? βοηθει εις την απιστιαν μου.
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 Ιδων δε ο Ιησους οτι επισυντρεχει οχλος, επετιμησε το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον, λεγων προς αυτο? το πνευμα το αλαλον και κωφον, εγω σε προσταζω, Εξελθε απ' αυτου και μη εισελθης πλεον εις αυτον.
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 Και το πνευμα κραξαν και πολλα σπαραξαν αυτον, εξηλθε, και εγεινεν ως νεκρος, ωστε πολλοι ελεγον οτι απεθανεν.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him up, and he was able to stand.	27 Ο δε Ιησους πιασας αυτον απο της χειρος ηγειρεν αυτον, και εσηκωθη.
28 When he had gone indoors, his disciples asked him when they were by themselves, 'Why were weunable to drive it out?'	28 Και οτε εισηλθεν εις οικον, οι μαθηται αυτου ηρωτων αυτον κατιδιαν, Δια τι ημεις δεν ηδυνηθημεν να εκβαλωμεν αυτο;
29 He answered, 'This is the kind that can be driven out only by prayer.'	29 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Τουτο το γενος δεν δυναται να εξελθη δι' ουδενος αλλου τροπου ειμη δια προσευχης και νηστειας.
30 After leaving that place they made their way through Galilee; and he did not want anyone to know,	30 Και εξελθοντες εκειθεν διεβαινον δια της Γαλιλαιας, και δεν ηθελε να μαθη τουτο ουδεις.
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 Διοτι εδιδασκε τους μαθητας αυτου και ελεγε προς αυτους οτι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδεται εις χειρας ανθρωπων, και θελουσι θανατωσει αυτον, και θανατωθεις την τριτην ημεραν θελει αναστηθη.
32 But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to ask him.	32 Εκεινοι ομως δεν ηνοουν τον λογον και εφοβουντο να ερωτησωσιν αυτον.
33 They came to Capernaum, and when he got into the house he asked them, 'What were you arguingabout on the road?'	33 Και ηλθεν εις Καπερναουμ? και οτε εισηλθεν εις την οικιαν, ηρωτα αυτους? Τι διελογιζεσθε καθ' οδον προς αλληλους;
34 They said nothing, because on the road they had been arguing which of them was the greatest.	34 Οι δε εσιωπων? διοτι καθ' οδον διελεχθησαν προς αλληλους τις ειναι μεγαλητερος.
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 Και καθησας εκαλεσε τους δωδεκα και λεγει προς αυτους? Οστις θελει να ηναι πρωτος, θελει εισθαι παντων εσχατος και παντων υπηρετης.
36 He then took a little child whom he set among them and embraced, and he said to them,	36 Και λαβων παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν τω μεσω αυτων, και εναγκαλισθεις αυτο ειπε προς αυτους?
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 Οστις δεχθη εν των τοιουτων παιδιων εις το ονομα μου, εμε δεχεται? και οστις δεχθη εμε, δεν δεχεται εμε, αλλα τον αποστειλαντα με.
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 Απεκριθη δε προς αυτον ο Ιωαννης, λεγων? Διδασκαλε, ειδομεν τινα εκβαλλοντα δαιμονια εις το ονομα σου, οστις δεν ακολουθει ημας, και ημποδισαμεν αυτον, διοτι δεν ακολουθει ημας.
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 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε? Μη εμποδιζετε αυτον? διοτι δεν ειναι ουδεις οστις θελει καμει θαυμα εις το ονομα μου και θελει δυνηθη ευθυς να με κακολογηση.
40 Anyone who is not against us is for us.	40 Επειδη οστις δεν ειναι καθ' ημων, ειναι υπερ ημων.
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 Διοτι οστις σας ποτιση ποτηριον υδατος εις το ονομα μου, επειδη εισθε του Χριστου, αληθως σας λεγω, δεν θελει χασει τον μισθον αυτου.
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 Και οστις σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων των πιστευοντων εις εμε, συμφερει εις αυτον καλητερον να περιτεθη μυλου πετρα περι τον τραχηλον αυτου και να ριφθη εις την θαλασσαν.
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 Και εαν σε σκανδαλιζη η χειρ σου, αποκοψον αυτην? καλητερον σοι ειναι να εισελθης εις την ζωην κουλλος, παρα εχων τας δυο χειρας να απελθης εις την γεενναν, εις το πυρ το ασβεστον,
44	44 οπου ο σκωληξ αυτων δεν τελευτα και το πυρ δεν σβυνεται.
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 Και εαν ο πους σου σε σκανδαλιζη, αποκοψον αυτον? καλητερον σοι ειναι να εισελθης εις την ζωην χωλος, παρα εχων τους δυο ποδας να ριφθης εις την γεενναν, εις το πυρ το ασβεστον,
46	46 οπου ο σκωληξ αυτων δεν τελευτα και το πυρ δεν σβυνεται.
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 Και εαν ο οφθαλμος σου σε σκανδαλιζη, εκβαλε αυτον? καλητερον σοι ειναι να εισελθης μονοφθαλμος εις την βασιλειαν του Θεου, παρα εχων δυο οφθαλμους να ριφθης εις την γεενναν του πυρος,
48 where their worm will never die nor their fire be put out.	48 οπου ο σκωληξ αυτων δεν τελευτα και το πυρ δεν σβυνεται.
49 For everyone wil be salted with fire.	49 Διοτι πας τις με πυρ θελει αλατισθη, και πασα θυσια με αλας θελει αλατισθη.
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.'	50 Καλον το αλας? αλλ' εαν το αλας γεινη αναλατον, με τι θελετε αρτυσει αυτο; εχετε αλας εν εαυτοις και ειρηνευετε εν αλληλοις.
