Chapter 9  
     
1.
 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
  
2.
 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Simon Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
  
3.
 And upon sleep, one of the disciples dreamt that Jesus's raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
  
4.
 And in his dream there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
  
5.
 And in his dream Simon Peter answered and 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 Elijah.
  
6.
 For they did not know what to say; for they were sore afraid.
  
7.
 And in his dream there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is the Son of Man who shall rise from the dead as foretold: hear him.
  
8.
 And suddenly when the disciple awoke and looked round about, and saw no man any more, save Jesus only with them.
  
9.
 And as they came down from the mountain, he told Jesus of his vision and Jesus charged them all that they should tell no man of such visions of things they had seen.
  
10.
 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
  
11.
 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
  
12.
 And he answered and told them, Elijah verily came first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of Man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nothing.
  
13.
 But I say unto you, That Elijah is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
  
14.
 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
  
15.
 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
  
16.
 And he asked the scribes, What question you with them?
  
17.
 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto you my son, which has a dumb spirit;
  
18.
 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
  
19.
 He answereth him, and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
  
20.
 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
  
21.
 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
  
22.
 And ofttimes it has cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you can do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
  
23.
 Jesus said unto him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.
  
24.
 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help you mine unbelief.
  
25.
 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
  
26.
 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.  
27.
 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
  
28.
 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
  
29.
 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
  
30.
 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
  
31.
 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
  
32.
 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
  
33.
 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that you disputed among yourselves by the way?
  
34.
 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
  
35.
 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and said unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
  
36.
 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
  
37.
 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
  
38.
 And John answered him, saying, Rabbi, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
  
39.
 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
  
40.
 For he that is not against us is on our part.
  
41.
 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to the father, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
  
42.
 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
  
43.
 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
  
44.
 Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
  
45.
 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for you to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
  
46.
 Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
  
47.
 And if your eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
  
48.
 Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
  
49.
 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
  
50.
 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
