1. And he said to them, “Truly I say to you, some who stand here will never taste death until they see the kingdom of God has come in power.”
2. And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John along, led them up a high mountain privately by themselves, and was transformed before them.
3. And his clothes became gleaming white, so exceedingly that no fuller on earth can whiten them that way.
4. And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.
5. And Peter replied to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6. For he did not know what to answer, for they became terrified.
7. And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
8. And suddenly, looking around, they saw no one with them anymore, but only Jesus.
9. As they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to declare to anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man rises from the dead.
10. And they kept the word among themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead is.
11. And they questioned him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
12. But he said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first and restores all things; how is it written about the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be despised?”
13. But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.
14. And coming to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes disputing with them.
15. And immediately the whole crowd was astounded when they saw him, and they ran up to greet him.
16. And he asked them, "What are you disputing with them?"
17. And one from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you; he has a mute spirit."
18. And wherever it seizes him, it tears him, and he foams, gnashes his teeth, and shrivels up; I told your disciples to drive it out, but they were powerless.
19. He answered them, "O unbelieving generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him to me."
20. They brought him to him, and when he saw him, the spirit immediately convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, rolling and foaming.
21. And he asked his father, "How long has this been afflicting him?" He answered, "From childhood."
22. And often it has thrown him both into fire and into waters to destroy him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.
23. But Jesus said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible for the one who believes."
24. Immediately the child's father cried out and said, "I believe. Help my unbelief!"
25. When Jesus saw the crowd running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out from him and enter him no longer."
26. And it cried out and convulsed violently as it came out of him, and he became like a dead man, so that many said, "He died."
27. But Jesus grasped his hand and raised him up, and he arose.
28. After he entered the house, his disciples questioned him privately, "Why were we unable to drive it out?"
29. And he said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything except by prayer."
30. They left there and passed through Galilee, but he did not want anyone to know.
31. For he was teaching his disciples and telling them, "The Son of Man is being handed over into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and after he has been killed, three days later he will rise."
32. But they did not understand the word, and were afraid to ask him.
33. They came to Capernaum, and once in the house he asked them, "What were you debating on the way?"
34. But they kept silent, because they had argued with one another on the way about who was greater.
35. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all."
36. And taking a child, he set him in their midst, and embracing him, he said to them.
37. Whoever welcomes one of such little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but the one who sent me.
38. John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a certain man casting out demons in your name, and we stopped him because he does not follow us."
39. But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will perform a deed of power in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me."
40. For the one who is not against us is for us.
41. For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ's, truly I tell you, he will by no means lose his reward.
42. And whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a donkey's millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
43. If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; better for you to enter life maimed than having two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.
44. where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not extinguished.
45. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life lame than having both feet thrown into hell.
46. where their worm does not die, and the fire never goes out.
47. And if your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell.
48. where their worm does not die, and the fire does not go out.
49. For all will be salted with fire.
50. Salt is good, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and live peaceably with one another.
