Etheridge - Mark - 9

9:1  AND he said to them, Amen I say to you, There are some who are standing here, who shall not taste death, until they shall have seen the kingdom of Aloha come with power.

9:2  And after six days Jeshu took Kipha, and Jacub, and Juchanon, and led them up to a high mountain by themselves. And he was altered before their eyes:

9:3  and his raiment shone, and became exceeding white as the snow; as the sons of man on earth could not make white.

9:4  And there were seen with them Musha and Elia discoursing with Jeshu.

9:5  And Kipha said to him, Rabi, it is good for us here to be: and let us make three tabernacles; for thee one, and for Musha one, and for Elia one.

9:6  But he knew not what he said, for they were in fear.

9:7  And there was the cloud, and it shadowed over them: and the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, him hear.

9:8  And instantly, while the disciples looked, they saw no man, but Jeshu alone with them.

9:9  And while they were descending from the mountain, he charged them to tell no man what they had seen, until the Son of man should have arisen from the dead.

9:10  And they held discourse among themselves, and inquired what was this word, when he should have arisen from among the dead.

9:11  And they asked him, saying, How then say the Sophree that Elia must come before?

9:12  He said to them, Elia doth come before, to restore all things; and how it is written concerning the Son of man, that much he should suffer, and be rejected.

9:13  But I tell you, Elia hath also come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written concerning him.

9:14  AND when he came to his disciples, he saw with them a great crowd, and the Sophree questioning with them.

9:15  And immediately all the crowd saw him, and wondered, and ran to salute him.

9:16  And he inquired of the Sophree, What dispute you with them?

9:17  And one from the company answered and said, Malphona, I had brought my son to thee, because he hath a spirit which speaketh not;

9:18  and when he seizeth him, he dasheth him, and teareth and grindeth his teeth, and he becometh dry. And I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out, but they could not.

9:19  Jeshu answered, and said to him, O generation that believeth not! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I tolerate you? bring him to me.

9:20  And they brought him unto him: and when the spirit saw him, he immediately dashed him, and he fell upon the ground; and was convulsed, and was torn.

9:21  And Jeshu asked the father, How long is it from the time from which it was thus? He saith to him, Behold, from his childhood.

9:22  And many times he casteth him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but whatever thou canst, help me, and have mercy upon me.

9:23  Jeshu saith to him, If thou canst believe, every thing can be to him who believeth.

9:24  And in a moment the father of the youth cried out, weeping and saying, I am believing; help the defect of my faith.

9:25  But when Jeshu saw the people running together, and assembling to him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him, Spirit, deaf and unspeaking! I command thee, come forth from him, and enter not into him again!

9:26  And that devil cried greatly, and crushed him, and went forth. And he became as the dead; as that many would say, He is dead.

9:27  But Jeshu took him by the hand, and raised him.

9:28  But when Jeshu had gone into the house, his disciples inquired of him by themselves, Why could not we cast him out?

9:29  Jeshu said to them, This kind with nothing can be cast out, but by fasting and prayer.

9:30  And when he had gone forth from thence, they passed into Galila: and he was not willing that any man should know of him.

9:31  And he taught his disciples, and told them, That the Son of man would be delivered into the hands of men, and they would kill him; and that when he was slain, on the third day he should arise.

9:32  But they understood not his word, and feared to ask him.

9:33  AND they came to Kapher-nachum: and when they had entered the house, he asked them of what they had argued in the way among themselves.

9:34  But they were silent: for they had contended in the way one with another, who should be greatest among them.

9:35  And Jeshu sat, and he called the twelve, and said to them, Whoever wills to be the first, shall be the last of all, and the servant of all.

9:36  And he took a certain child, and made him stand in the midst: and he took him upon his arms, and said to them,

9:37  Every one who receiveth (one who is) as this child in my name, me he receiveth: and whoever me receiveth, not me he receiveth, but Him who sent me.

9:38  Juchanon said to him, Rabi, we saw a man casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he did not adhere to us.

9:39  Jeshu saith to them, Forbid him not; for no man who doeth powerful works in my name, can soon speak of me that which is evil.

9:40  He therefore who is not against you is for you.

9:41  For every one who shall give you only a cup of waters to drink in the name that you are of the Meshicha, Amen I say to you, He shall not lose his reward.

9:42  And every one who shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it had been better for him that an ass-millstone had been set to his neck, and he had been cast forth into the sea.

9:43  But if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: better for thee mutilated to go into life, than having two hands to go into gihana;

9:44  where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.

9:45  And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: better for thee to go into life lame, than having two feet to fall into gihana:

9:46  where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.

9:47  And if thine eye offend thee, root it out: better for thee that with one eye thou enter the kingdom of Aloha, than having two eyes to fall into the gihana of fire:

9:48  where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.

9:49  For every (thing) with fire is salted, and every victim with salt shall be salted.

9:50  Good is salt: but if the salt shall (become) insipid, how shall it be salted? Let there be in you salt, and in peace be one with another.
