1 And he said to them: Indeed I say to you, that are some of those here having stood, who not not shall taste of death, till they may see the royal majesty of the God having come in power.
2 And after days six takes the Jesus the Peter, and the James and John, and leads up them into a mountain high privately alone; and he was transfigured in the presence of them
3 And the garments of him became glittering, white extremely as snow, such as a fuller upon the earth not is able to make white.
4 And appeared to them Elias with Moses; and were talking with the Jesus.
5 And answering the Peter says to the Jesus: Rabbi, good it is us here to be; and we may make tents three, to thee one, and Moses one, and Elias one.
6 Not for he knew any thing he might say; there were for terrified.
7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and came a voice out of the cloud: This is the son of me the beloved; him hear you.
8 And suddenly looking round, no longer no one they saw, but the Jesus alone with themselves.
9 Coming down and of them from the mountain, he charged them, that to no one they should relate what they saw, except when the son of the man out of dead ones should be raised.
10 And the word they kept to themselves, arguing, what is that out of dead ones to be raised.
11 And they asked him, saying: That say the scribes, that Elias must to come first?
12 He and answering said to them: Elias indeed coming first; restores all things, and how it is written about the son of the man, that many things he should suffer, and should be despised.
13 But I say to you, that both Elias has come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, even as it is written about him.
14 And coming to the disciples, he saw a crowd great about them, and scribes disputing with them.
15 And immediately all the crowd, seeing him, were awestruck, and running to saluted him.
16 And he asked them: What dispute you wish with them?
17 And answering one out of the crowd said: O teacher, I brought the son of me to thee, having a spirit dumb.
18 And wherever him it may seize, it convulses him; and he foams, and grinds the teeth of him, and pines away. And I spoke to the disciples of thee, that it they might cast out, and not they had power.
19 He and answering to them says: O generation without faith, till when you shall I be? till when shall I bear you? Bring you him to me.
20 And they brought him to him. And seeing him, immediately the spirit convulsed him; and falling upon the ground, he rolled, foaming.
21 And he asked the father of him: How long a time is it, since this happened to him? He and said: From a child;
22 and often him both into fire has cast and into waters, that it might destroy him; but if any thing thou canst do, give aid to us, having pity on us.
23 The and Jesus said to him: That, if thou art able to believe; all things are possible to the believing.
24 And immediately crying out the father of the child, with tears he said: I believe help thou of me the unbelief.
25 Seeing and the Jesus, that runs together a crowd, he rebuked the spirit the unclean, saying to it: The spirit the dumb and deaf, I to thee command; Come out of him, and no more enter into him.
26 And crying out, and many times convulsing, it came out. And he became as dead, so that many to say, that he is dead.
27 The but Jesus taking him of the hand, raised up him; and he stood up.
28 And having come him into a house, the disciples of him asked him privately: That we not were able to cast out it?
29 And he said to them: This the kind by nothing is able to go out, if not in prayer and fasting.
30 And thence departing, he passed through the Galilee; and not was willing, that any one should know.
31 He taught for the disciples of himself, and said to them: That the son of the man is delivered up into hands of men, and they will kill him; and having been killed, the third day he will rise.
32 They but did not understand the word, and were afraid him to ask.
33 And he came to Capernaum; and in the house being, he asked them: What in the way among yourselves were you disputing?
34 but were silent; with one another for they had disputed on the way, who greater.
35 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and says to them: If any one desires first to be, he will be of all last, and of all a servant.
36 And taking a little child, he placed it in midst of them, and embracing in his arms it, he said to them:
37 Whoever one of the such little children may receive in the name of me, me receives; and whoever me may receive, not me receives, but the having sent me.
38 Answered and to him John, saying: O teacher, I saw one to the name of thee casting out demons; and we forbade him, because not he follows us.
39 He but Jesus said: Not do you forbid him. No one for is, who will do a mighty work in the name of me, and will be able readily to speak evil of me.
40 Who for not is against you, for you is.
41 Who for ever may give drink to you a cup of water, in name, because of Anointed you are, indeed I say to you, not not he may lose the reward of himself.
42 And whoever may insnare one of the little ones, of the believing into me, good it is to him rather, if hangs a stone of a mill around the neck of him, and has been cast into the sea.
43 And if may insnare thee the hand of thee, cut thou off her; good to thee it is crippled into the life to enter, than the two hands having to go into the Gehenna, into the fire the inextinguishable,
44 where the worm of them not dies, and the fire not is quenched.
45 And if the foot of thee may insnare thee, cut thou off him; good it is to thee to enter into the life lame, than the two feet having to be cast into the Gehenna, into the fire the inextinguishable,
46 where the worm of them not dies, and the fire not is quenched.
47 And if the eye of thee may insnare thee, cast thou out him; good to thee it is oneeyed to enter into the kingdom of the God, than two eyes having to be cast into the Gehenna of the fire,
48 where the worm of them not dies, and the fire not is quenched.
49 Every one for with fire shall be salted; and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted.
50 Good the salt; if but the salt without taste may become, with what it will you season? Have you in yourselves salt, and be you at peace with one another.
1 He continued: »Truly I tell you there are some here who will in no way experience death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.«
2 Six days later Jesus took Peter, James and John up on a high mountain completely alone. He was transfigured in front of them.
3 His garments became brilliant white. Nothing on earth could make them this white.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared before them. They were talking with Jesus.
5 Peter said to Jesus: »Teacher it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.«
6 Peter and the others were afraid and they did not know what to say.
7 A cloud hovered over them and a voice came out of the cloud: »This is my Son the beloved listen to him!«
8 Suddenly they saw no one near them except Jesus.
9 They came down the mountain. He warned them not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of man had risen from the dead.
10 They kept questioning among themselves what the rising from the dead means.
11 Then they asked him how is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?
12 He said: »Elijah does come first and restores all things. It is written that the Son of man should suffer and be treated with contempt?
13 »But I say to you that Elijah has come. They have done to him what ever they wished just as it is written about him.«
14 When they came to the disciples they saw a great crowd with them and scribes questioning them.
15 Suddenly the crowd saw him and ran to him to greet him.
16 He asked them: »What are you talking about?«
17 One of the people answered him: »Teacher I brought my son who is unable to talk because of a spirit.
18 »The spirit seizes him and slams him down. He foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. I asked your disciples to cast it out but they could not do it.«
19 Jesus then said: »O faithless generation. How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me.«
20 They brought the boy to him. Suddenly the spirit threw him into convulsions. He fell on the ground rolled around and foamed at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked his father: »How long has this been going on?« He said: »Since he was a child.«
22 Often it casts him into the fire and into the water to destroy him. If you can do anything have compassion on us and help us.
23 Jesus said to him: »All things are possible to him who has faith.«
24 Both father and child immediately shouted: »I have faith make my faith stronger.«
25 When Jesus saw the people he ordered the unclean spirit to come out of him. He commanded the spirit that caused the loss of voice and hearing to leave and never return to him.
26 The spirit cried out and shook the child violently. It came out and the child became like a dead person. Most of them said: »He is dead.«
27 Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up.
28 When the child went into the house his disciples asked him privately: »Why were we unable to send it out?«
29 He replied: Only prayer will make this sort come out.
30 He desired that no man know about it. Therefore they left there through Galilee.
31 He taught his disciples: »The Son of man will be handed over to men who will put him to death. After three days he will come back from the dead.«
32 They did not understand and they were afraid to ask him about it.
33 They traveled to Capernaum. When they were in the house he asked them: »What were you talking about on the way?«
34 They said nothing because they had had an argument between themselves about who was the greatest.
35 He sat down and the twelve came to him. He said: »If any man has the desire to be first, he would be last of all and servant of all.«
36 He put a little child in the middle of them and taking him in his arms he said to them:
37 »Whoever receives a little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.«
38 John spoke up: »Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name. We tried to stop him because he does not follow us.«
39 But Jesus said: »Do not stop him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 »For whoever is not against us is on our side.
41 »Whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christs, most assuredly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
42 »Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea.
43 »If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It would be better to enter into life maimed then, having two hands to be destroyed in the ever-burning trash fires in the Valley of Hinnom. Greek: Gehenna
44 spurious, but included in King James Version, »Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.«
45 »If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is good for you to enter into life with only one foot, rather than having two feet to be cast into the ever-burning fires of Hinnom. Greek: Gehenna: symbolic of total destruction
46 The same wording as verse 44, spurious: Tischendorfs Spurious Passages
47 »If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is good for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be destroyed in the ever-burning trash fires in the valley of Hinnom.
48 »For the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.« Questionable passage.
49 »For every one will be salted with fire.
50 »Salt is good. If it loses its saltiness how can you make it salty again? Have the salt or seasoning of friendship among yourselves, and live in peace with one another.«
