Jesu härlighet uppenbaras
9 Jesus sade till dem: "Amen säger jag er: Några av dem som står här skall inte smaka döden, förrän de ser att Guds rike har kommit i makt." 2 Sex dagar därefter[a] tog han med sig Petrus, Jakob och Johannes och förde dem upp på ett högt berg för att vara ensam med dem. Och han förvandlades inför dem. 3 Hans kläder blev skinande vita, så vita som ingen tygberedare på jorden kan göra några kläder. 4 Och Mose och Elia visade sig för dem, och de samtalade med Jesus. 5 Då sade Petrus till Jesus: "Rabbi, det är gott för oss att vara här. Låt oss göra tre hyddor, en åt dig, en åt Mose och en åt Elia." 6 Han visste inte vad han skulle säga, så förskräckta var de. 7 Då kom ett moln och sänkte sig ner över dem, och ur molnet hördes en röst: "Denne är min Son, den Älskade. Lyssna till honom!" 8 Och plötsligt, när de såg sig omkring, såg de inte längre någon utom Jesus.
9 På vägen ner från berget sade han åt dem att inte berätta vad de hade sett förrän Människosonen uppstått från de döda. 10 De tog fasta på det ordet och talade med varandra om vad som menades med att uppstå från de döda. 11 De frågade honom: "Varför säger då de skriftlärda att Elia först måste komma?"[b] 12 Han sade till dem: "Elia kommer visserligen först och återupprättar allt. Men hur kan det då vara skrivet att Människosonen skall lida mycket och bli föraktad? 13 Jag säger er: Elia har verkligen kommit, och de gjorde med honom som de ville, som det är skrivet om honom."
Jesus botar en pojke med en stum ande
14 När de kom till de andra lärjungarna, såg de mycket folk omkring dem och skriftlärda som diskuterade med dem. 15 Så snart allt folket fick se Jesus blev de mycket häpna och skyndade fram och hälsade på honom. 16 Han frågade dem: "Vad är det ni diskuterar om?" 17 En man i skaran svarade honom: "Mästare, jag har fört till dig min son som har en stum ande. 18 Och var den än får tag i honom slår den ner honom, och han tuggar fradga och skär tänder och blir stel. Jag bad dina lärjungar driva ut den, men de kunde inte." 19 Jesus svarade dem: "Du släkte som inte vill tro! Hur länge måste jag vara hos er? Hur länge skall jag stå ut med er? För honom till mig!" 20 Och de kom med honom till Jesus. Så snart anden fick se honom slet den i pojken, och han föll till marken och vältrade sig och tuggade fradga. 21 Jesus frågade hans far: "Hur länge har det varit så med honom?" Fadern svarade: "Sedan han var barn. 22 Ofta kastar anden honom än i elden och än i vattnet för att ta livet av honom. Men om du kan, så förbarma dig över oss och hjälp oss!" 23 Jesus sade till honom: "Om du kan, säger du. Allt förmår den som tror." 24 Genast ropade barnets far: "Jag tror. Hjälp min otro!" 25 Jesus såg att ännu mer folk strömmade till, och han sade strängt till den orene anden: "Du stumme och döve ande, jag befaller dig: far ut ur honom och kom aldrig mer in i honom!" 26 Den orene anden skrek och ryckte våldsamt i honom och for ut. Pojken var som livlös, och de flesta sade att han var död. 27 Men Jesus tog honom i handen och reste upp honom, och han steg upp. 28 När Jesus hade kommit inomhus och lärjungarna var ensamma med honom, frågade de: "Varför kunde inte vi driva ut honom?" 29 Han svarade: "Detta slag kan endast drivas ut med bön."[c]
Jesus talar än en gång om sitt lidande
30 Sedan gick de därifrån och vandrade genom Galileen. Jesus ville inte att någon skulle få veta det, 31 eftersom han höll på att undervisa sina lärjungar. Han sade: "Människosonen skall utlämnas i människors händer, och de kommer att döda honom, och efter tre dagar skall han uppstå." 32 Men de förstod inte vad han sade och vågade inte fråga honom.
Vem är störst?
33 De kom till Kapernaum. När Jesus nu var hemma, frågade han dem: "Vad var det ni talade om på vägen?" 34 De teg, eftersom de på vägen hade talat med varandra om vem som var störst. 35 Jesus satte sig ner, kallade på de tolv och sade till dem: "Om någon vill vara den förste skall han vara den siste av alla och allas tjänare." 36 Sedan tog han ett litet barn och ställde det mitt ibland dem, slöt det i sin famn och sade till dem: 37 "Den som tar emot ett sådant barn i mitt namn, han tar emot mig. Och den som tar emot mig, han tar inte bara emot mig utan honom som har sänt mig."
Inte mot oss utan för oss
38 Johannes sade till Jesus: "Mästare, vi såg en man som drev ut onda andar i ditt namn, och vi försökte hindra honom eftersom han inte följde oss." 39 Men Jesus sade: "Hindra honom inte. Ingen som utför en kraftgärning i mitt namn kan sedan genast tala illa om mig. 40 Den som inte är mot oss är för oss. 41 Den som räcker er en bägare vatten att dricka därför att ni tillhör Kristus - amen säger jag er: Han skall inte gå miste om sin lön.
Frestelser och förförelser
42 Den som förleder en av dessa små som tror på mig, för honom är det bättre att en kvarnsten läggs om hans hals och han kastas i havet. 43 Om din hand förleder dig till synd, så hugg av den! Det är bättre för dig att gå in i livet stympad än att ha båda händerna i behåll och komma till Gehenna,[d] till elden som aldrig släcks.[e] 45 Och om din fot förleder dig till synd, så hugg av den! Det är bättre för dig att gå in i livet halt än att ha båda fötterna i behåll och kastas i Gehenna. 47 Och om ditt öga förleder dig till synd, så riv ut det! Det är bättre för dig att gå in i Guds rike med ett öga än att med båda ögonen i behåll kastas i Gehenna, 48 där deras mask inte dör och elden inte släcks. 49 Ty var och en skall saltas med eld. 50 Salt är bra, men om saltet förlorar sin sälta, hur skall ni då få det salt igen? Ha salt i er och håll fred med varandra!"

9 Then Jesus said, “Believe me when I say that some of you people standing here will see God’s kingdom come with power before you die.”
Jesus Is Seen With Moses and Elijah(A)
2 Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and went up on a high mountain. They were all alone there. While these followers watched him, Jesus was changed. 3 His clothes became shining white—whiter than anyone on earth could make them. 4 Then two men were there talking with Jesus. They were Elijah and Moses.
5 Peter said to Jesus, “Teacher, it is good that we are here. We will put three tents here—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 Peter did not know what to say, because he and the other two followers were so afraid.
7 Then a cloud came and covered them. A voice came from the cloud and said, “This is my Son, the one I love. Obey him!”
8 The followers looked, but they saw only Jesus there alone with them.
9 As Jesus and the followers were walking back down the mountain, he gave them these instructions: “Don’t tell anyone about what you saw on the mountain. Wait until after the Son of Man rises from death. Then you can tell people what you saw.”
10 So the followers waited to say anything about what they saw. But they discussed among themselves what Jesus meant about rising from death. 11 They asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come[a] first?”
12 Jesus answered, “They are right to say that Elijah must come first. Elijah makes all things the way they should be. But why do the Scriptures say that the Son of Man will suffer much and that people will think he is worth nothing? 13 I tell you that Elijah has already come. And people did to him all the bad things they wanted to do. The Scriptures said this would happen to him.”
Jesus Frees a Boy From an Evil Spirit(B)
14 Then Jesus, Peter, James, and John went to the other followers. They saw many people around them. The teachers of the law were arguing with the followers. 15 When the people saw Jesus, they were very surprised and ran to welcome him.
16 Jesus asked, “What are you arguing about with the teachers of the law?”
17 A man answered, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He is controlled by an evil spirit that keeps him from talking. 18 The spirit attacks him and throws him on the ground. He foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes very stiff. I asked your followers to force the evil spirit out, but they could not.”
19 Jesus answered, “You people today don’t believe! How long must I stay with you? How long must I be patient with you? Bring the boy to me!”
20 So the followers brought the boy to Jesus. When the evil spirit saw Jesus, it attacked the boy. The boy fell down and rolled on the ground. He was foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been happening to him?”
The father answered, “Since he was very young. 22 The spirit often throws him into a fire or into water to kill him. If you can do anything, please have pity on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to the father, “Why did you say ‘if you can’? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 Immediately the father shouted, “I do believe. Help me to believe more!”
25 Jesus saw that all the people were running there to see what was happening. So he spoke to the evil spirit. He said, “You evil spirit that makes this boy deaf and stops him from talking—I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 The evil spirit screamed. It caused the boy to fall on the ground again, and then it came out. The boy looked as if he was dead. Many people said, “He is dead!” 27 But Jesus took hold of his hand and helped him stand up.
28 Then Jesus went into the house. His followers were alone with him there. They said, “Why weren’t we able to force that evil spirit out?”
29 Jesus answered, “That kind of spirit can be forced out only with prayer.[b]”
Jesus Talks About His Death(C)
30 Then Jesus and his followers left there and went through Galilee. Jesus did not want the people to know where they were. 31 He wanted to teach his followers alone. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be handed over to the control of other men, who will kill him. After three days, he will rise from death.” 32 But the followers did not understand what he meant, and they were afraid to ask him.
Who Is the Greatest?(D)
33 Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum. They went into a house, and Jesus said to them, “I heard you arguing on the way here today. What were you arguing about?” 34 But the followers did not answer, because their argument on the road was about which one of them was the greatest.
35 Jesus sat down and called the twelve apostles to him. He said, “Whoever wants to be the most important must make others more important than themselves. They must serve everyone else.”
36 Then Jesus took a small child and stood the child in front of the followers. He held the child in his arms and said, 37 “Whoever accepts children like these in my name is accepting me. And anyone who accepts me is also accepting the one who sent me.”
Whoever Is Not Against Us Is For Us(E)
38 Then John said, “Teacher, we saw a man using your name to force demons out of someone. He is not one of us. So we told him to stop, because he does not belong to our group.”
39 Jesus said, “Don’t stop him. Whoever uses my name to do powerful things will not soon say bad things about me. 40 Whoever is not against us is with us. 41 I can assure you that anyone who helps you by giving you a drink of water because you belong to the Messiah will definitely get a reward.
Jesus Warns About Causes of Sin(F)
42 “If one of these little children believes in me, and someone causes that child to sin, it will be very bad for that person. It would be better for them to have a millstone tied around their neck and be drowned in the sea. 43 If your hand makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body and have eternal life than to have two hands and go to hell. There the fire never stops. 44 [c] 45 If your foot makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body and have eternal life than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 46 [d] 47 If your eye makes you sin, take it out. It is better for you to have only one eye and enter God’s kingdom than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell. 48 The worms that eat the people in hell never die. The fire there is never stopped.
49 “Everyone will be salted with fire.[e]
50 “Salt is good. But if it loses its salty taste, you can’t make it good again. So, don’t lose that good quality of salt you have. And live in peace with each other.”

9 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)
2 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. 3 His clothes became dazzling white,(F) whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
5 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.” 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)
7 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)
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9 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
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)
