Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

9:1	And he said to them, 'Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.'
9:2	And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves;and he was transfigured before them,
9:3	and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.
9:4	And there appeared to them Eli'jah with Moses;and they were talking to Jesus.
9:5	And Peter said to Jesus, 'Master, it is well that we are here;let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah.'
9:6	For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.
9:7	And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, 'This is my beloved Son;listen to him.'
9:8	And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only.
9:9	And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.
9:10	So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.
9:11	And they asked him, 'Why do the scribes say that first Eli'jah must come?'
9:12	And he said to them, 'Eli'jah does come first to restore all things;and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
9:13	But I tell you that Eli'jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.'
9:14	And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them, and scribes arguing with them.
9:15	And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.
9:16	And he asked them, 'What are you discussing with them?'
9:17	And one of the crowd answered him, 'Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit;
9:18	and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down;and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid;and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.'
9:19	And he answered them, 'O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.'
9:20	And they brought the boy to him;and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
9:21	And Jesus asked his father, 'How long has he had this?' And he said, 'From childhood.
9:22	And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him;but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us.'
9:23	And Jesus said to him, 'If you can! All things are possible to him who believes.'
9:24	Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, 'I believe;help my unbelief!'
9:25	And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, 'You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again.'
9:26	And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse;so that most of them said, 'He is dead.'
9:27	But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
9:28	And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, 'Why could we not cast it out?'
9:29	And he said to them, 'This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.'
9:30	They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it;
9:31	for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, 'The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him;and when he is killed, after three days he will rise.'
9:32	But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him.
9:33	And they came to Caper'na-um;and when he was in the house he asked them, 'What were you discussing on the way?'
9:34	But they were silent;for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.
9:35	And he sat down and called the twelve;and he said to them, 'If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.'
9:36	And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them;and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
9:37	'Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me;and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.'
9:38	John said to him, 'Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us.'
9:39	But Jesus said, 'Do not forbid him;for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me.
9:40	For he that is not against us is for us.
9:41	For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.
9:42	'Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
9:43	And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off;it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.
9:44
9:45	And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off;it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.
9:46
9:47	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 than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,
9:48	where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
9:49	For every one will be salted with fire.
9:50	Salt is good;but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.'
