耶稣又对他们说:“我实在告诉你们,站在这里的,有人在没有尝过死味以前,必定看见 神的国带着能力降临。”

在山上改变形象(A)

过了六天,耶稣带着彼得、雅各、约翰,领他们悄悄地上了高山,在他们面前改变了形象。 他的衣服闪耀发光,极其洁白,地上漂布的没有能漂得这样白的。 又有以利亚和摩西向他们显现,并且跟耶稣谈话。 彼得对耶稣说:“拉比,我们在这里真好!我们可以搭三个帐棚,一个为你,一个为摩西,一个为以利亚。” 彼得不知道该说甚么才好,因为他们都非常害怕。 有一片云彩来,笼罩他们,又有声音从云中出来:“这是我的爱子,你们要听他。” 门徒立刻周围观看,再也看不见别的人,只见耶稣单独和他们在一起。

他们下山的时候,耶稣吩咐他们,人子从死人中复活之前,不要把所看见的告诉人。 10 门徒把这句话记在心里,又彼此讨论从死人中复活是甚么意思。 11 他们就问耶稣:“经学家为甚么说以利亚必须先来呢?” 12 耶稣说:“以利亚固然要先来复兴一切,但圣经为甚么又记载人子要受许多苦,被人藐视呢? 13 其实我告诉你们,以利亚已经来了,他们却任意待他,正如经上指着他所说的。”

治好癫痫病的小孩(B)

14 他们回到门徒那里,看见一大群人围着他们,又有经学家和他们辩论。 15 众人看见了耶稣,都很惊奇,就跑上前去向他问安。 16 他问他们:“你们和他们辩论甚么?” 17 群众当中有一个回答他:“老师,我把我的儿子带到你这里来,他被哑巴鬼附着。 18 无论在哪里,鬼抓住他,把他摔倒,他就口吐白沫,咬牙切齿,浑身僵硬。我请你的门徒把鬼赶出去,他们却办不到。” 19 耶稣回答他们:“唉!不信的世代啊!我跟你们在一起到几时呢?我要忍受你们到几时呢?把他带到我这里来吧。” 20 他们就把孩子带到他跟前。那鬼一见耶稣,就立刻使孩子抽了一阵疯,倒在地上,流着唾沫打滚。 21 耶稣问他父亲:“这事临到他有多久了?”他说:“从小就是这样。 22 鬼常常把他扔在火里水中,要毁灭他。如果你能作甚么,求你可怜我们,帮助我们。” 23 耶稣对他说:“‘如果你能’(“如果你能”有些抄本作“你若能信”)—对于信的人,甚么都能!” 24 孩子的父亲立刻喊着说:“我信!但我的信心不够,求你帮助我。” 25 耶稣看见群众围拢了来,就斥责那污鬼说:“聋哑的鬼,我吩咐你从他身上出来,不要再进去。” 26 那鬼大声喊叫,使孩子重重地抽了一阵疯,就出来了。孩子好象死了一样,所以许多人都说:“他死了!” 27 但耶稣拉着他的手,扶他起来,他就站起来了。 28 耶稣进了屋子,门徒私下问他说:“为甚么我们不能把那污鬼赶出去呢?” 29 耶稣对他们说:“这一类的鬼,非用祷告是赶不出去的。”

第二次预言受难及复活(C)

30 他们从那里出去,经过加利利,耶稣不想让人知道, 31 因为他正在教导门徒。他又对他们说:“人子将要被交在人的手里,他们要杀害他,死后三天他要复活。” 32 门徒不明白这话,又不敢问他。

门徒争论谁最大(D)

33 他们来到迦百农。在屋里的时候,耶稣问他们:“你们在路上争论甚么?” 34 门徒一声不响,因为他们在路上彼此争论谁为大。 35 耶稣坐下,叫十二门徒来,对他们说:“谁想为首,就该作众人中最末的一个,作众人的仆人。” 36 于是拉过一个小孩子来,叫他站在门徒中间,又把他抱起来,对他们说: 37 “凡因我的名接待一个这样的小孩子的,就是接待我;凡接待我的,不是接待我,而是接待那差我来的。”

反对与赞成(E)

38 约翰对耶稣说:“老师,我们看见有一个人奉你的名赶鬼,就禁止他,因为他不跟从我们。” 39 耶稣说:“不要禁止他,因为没有人能奉我的名行了神迹,又立刻毁谤我。 40 不反对我们的,就是赞成我们的。 41 无论谁因你们有属基督的名分,给你们一杯水喝的,我实在告诉你们,他决不会失掉赏赐。

坚拒使人犯罪(F)

42 “如果有人使一个信我的小弟兄犯罪,倒不如在他的颈项上拴一块大磨石投在海里。 43 如果你的一只手使你犯罪,就把它砍下来。你身体残废进永生,总比有两只手下到地狱,进入那不灭的火里好得多。(有些抄本有第44节“在那里虫是不死的,火是不灭的。”) 45 如果你的一只脚使你犯罪,就把它砍下来。你瘸腿进永生,总比你有两只脚而被丢在地狱里好得多。(有些抄本有第46节“在那里虫是不死的,火是不灭的。”) 47 如果你的一只眼睛使你犯罪,就把它挖出来。你只有一只眼睛进 神的国,总比你有两只眼睛而被丢在地狱里好得多, 48 在那里虫是不死的,火是不灭的。 49 每一个人必被火当盐来腌。(有些抄本在此有“各祭物必用盐来腌”一句;也有些抄本只有附注的一句,而没有正文的一句) 50 盐是好的,但如果失了味,可以用甚么使它再咸呢?你们自己里面应当有盐,彼此和睦。”

The Transfiguration of Christ(A)

And He said to them, (B)“Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see (C)the kingdom of God [a]present with power.”

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

(D)Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His clothes became shining, exceedingly (E)white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

And a (F)cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is (G)My beloved Son. (H)Hear Him!” Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

(I)Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning (J)what the rising from the dead meant.

11 And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say (K)that Elijah must come first?”

12 Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And (L)how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and (M)be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that (N)Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”

A Boy Is Healed(O)

14 (P)And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them. 15 Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. 16 And He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”

17 Then (Q)one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”

19 He answered him and said, “O (R)faithless[b] generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I [c]bear with you? Bring him to Me.” 20 Then they brought him to Him. And (S)when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?”

And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23 Jesus said to him, (T)“If[d] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; (U)help my unbelief!”

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He (V)rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

28 (W)And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”

29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but (X)prayer [e]and fasting.”

Jesus Again Predicts His Death and Resurrection

30 Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it. 31 (Y)For He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will (Z)kill Him. And after He is killed, He will (AA)rise the third day.” 32 But they (AB)did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

Who Is the Greatest?(AC)

33 (AD)Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you [f]disputed among yourselves on the road?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the road they had (AE)disputed among themselves who would be the (AF)greatest. 35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, (AG)“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” 36 Then (AH)He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and (AI)whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Forbids Sectarianism(AJ)

38 (AK)Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, (AL)for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40 For (AM)he who is not against [g]us is on [h]our side. 41 (AN)For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.

Jesus Warns of Offenses(AO)

42 (AP)“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me [i]to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. 43 (AQ)If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life [j]maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to [k]hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— 44 [l]where

(AR)‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into [m]hell, [n]into the fire that shall never be quenched— 46 where

(AS)‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into [o]hell fire— 48 where

(AT)‘Their worm does not die
And the (AU)fire is not quenched.’

Tasteless Salt Is Worthless

49 “For everyone will be (AV)seasoned with fire, (AW)and[p] every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. 50 (AX)Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? (AY)Have salt in yourselves, and (AZ)have peace with one another.”

And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come(A) with power.”(B)

The Transfiguration(C)(D)

After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John(E) with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white,(F) whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(G) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)

Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud:(H) “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”(I)

Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone(J) what they had seen until the Son of Man(K) had risen from the dead. 10 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.

11 And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

12 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man(L) must suffer much(M) and be rejected?(N) 13 But I tell you, Elijah has come,(O) and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”

Jesus Heals a Boy Possessed by an Impure Spirit(P)

14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.

16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.

17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”

19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”

20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.(Q)

21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”

“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”

23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”(R)

24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene,(S) he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”

26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.

28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately,(T) “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.[a]

Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time(U)

30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man(V) is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him,(W) and after three days(X) he will rise.”(Y) 32 But they did not understand what he meant(Z) and were afraid to ask him about it.

33 They came to Capernaum.(AA) When he was in the house,(AB) he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” 34 But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.(AC)

35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”(AD)

36 He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms,(AE) he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”(AF)

Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us(AG)

38 “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”(AH)

39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40 for whoever is not against us is for us.(AI) 41 Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.(AJ)

Causing to Stumble

42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble,(AK) it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.(AL) 43 If your hand causes you to stumble,(AM) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell,(AN) where the fire never goes out.(AO) [44] [b] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble,(AP) cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.(AQ) [46] [c] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble,(AR) pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,(AS) 48 where

“‘the worms that eat them do not die,
    and the fire is not quenched.’[d](AT)

49 Everyone will be salted(AU) with fire.

50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again?(AV) Have salt among yourselves,(AW) and be at peace with each other.”(AX)
