Mark 9:2-29

21SixG1803 daysG2250 laterG3326, JesusG2424 tookG3880 with Him 2PeterG4074 and 3JamesG2385 and JohnG2491, and broughtG399 them up on a highG5308 mountainG3735 by themselvesG2398G3441. And He was transfiguredG3339 beforeG1715 them; 3and 4His garmentsG2440 becameG1096 radiantG4744 and exceedinglyG3029 whiteG3022, as noG3756 laundererG1102 on earthG1093 canG1410 whitenG3021 them. 4ElijahG2243 appearedG3708 to them alongG4862 with MosesG3475; and they were talkingG4814 with JesusG2424. 5PeterG4074 saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “5RabbiG4461, it is goodG2570 for us to be hereG5602; 6let us makeG4160 threeG5140 7tabernaclesG4633, oneG1520 for You, and oneG1520 for MosesG3475, and oneG1520 for ElijahG2243.” 6For he did not knowG3609 whatG5101 to answerG611; for they becameG1096 terrifiedG1630. 7ThenG2532 a cloudG3507 8formedG1096, overshadowingG1982 them, and 9a voiceG5456 10cameG1096 out of the cloudG3507, “11ThisG3778 is My belovedG27 SonG5207, 12listenG191 to Him!” 8AllG1819 at onceG1819 they lookedG4017 aroundG4017 and sawG3708 noG3762 oneG3762 with them anymoreG3765, exceptG1508 JesusG2424 aloneG3441.

913As they were comingG2597 downG2597 from the mountainG3735, He 14gaveG1291 them ordersG1291 not to relateG1334 to anyoneG3367 whatG3739 they had seenG3708, 15untilG1487G3361G3752 the SonG5207 of ManG444 roseG450 from the deadG3498. 10They 16seizedG2902 upon 17that statementG3056, discussingG4802 with oneG1438 anotherG1438 18whatG5101 risingG450 from the deadG3498 meantG1510. 11They askedG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “Why is it that the scribesG1122 sayG3004 that 19ElijahG2243 mustG1163 comeG2064 firstG4413?” 12And He saidG5346 to them, “ElijahG2243 does firstG4413 comeG2064 and restoreG600 allG3956 thingsG3956. And yet howG4459 is it writtenG1125 of 20the SonG5207 of ManG444 that 21He will sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 and be treatedG1847 with contemptG1847? 13But I sayG3004 to you that ElijahG2243 has 22indeedG2532 comeG2064, and they didG4160 to him whateverG3745 they wishedG2309, justG2531 as it is writtenG1125 of him.”

1423When they cameG2064 back to the disciplesG3101, they sawG3708 a largeG4183 crowdG3793 aroundG4012 them, and some scribesG1122 arguingG4802 with them. 15ImmediatelyG2117, when the entireG3956 crowdG3793 sawG3708 Him, they were 24amazedG1568 and began runningG4370 up to greetG782 Him. 16And He askedG1905 them, “WhatG5101 are you discussingG4802 with them?” 17And oneG1520 of the crowdG3793 answeredG611 Him, “TeacherG1320, I broughtG5342 You my sonG5207, possessedG2192 with a spiritG4151 which makes him muteG216; 18and 25wheneverG3699 it seizesG2638 him, it 26slamsG4486 him to the ground and he foamsG875 at the mouth, and grindsG5149 his teethG3599 and 27stiffensG3583 out. I toldG3004 Your disciplesG3101 to castG1544 it out, and they couldG2480 not do it.” 19And He answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “OG5599 unbelievingG571 generationG1074, howG2193 longG2193G4219 shall I be with you? HowG2193 longG2193G4219 shall I putG430 up with you? BringG5342 him to Me!” 20They broughtG5342 28the boy to Him. WhenG2532 he sawG3708 Him, immediatelyG2117 the spiritG4151 threwG4952 him into a convulsionG4952, and fallingG4098 to the groundG1093, he began rollingG2947 aroundG2947 and foamingG875 at the mouth. 21And He askedG1905 his fatherG3962, “HowG4214 longG5550 has thisG3778 beenG1510 happeningG1096 to him?” And he saidG3004, “From childhoodG3812. 22It has oftenG4178 thrownG906 him bothG2532 into the fireG4442 and into the waterG5204 to destroyG622 him. But ifG1487 You canG1410 do anythingG5100, takeG4697 pityG4697 on us and helpG997 us!” 23And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “‘IfG1487 You canG1410?’ 29AllG3956 thingsG3956 are possibleG1415 to him who believesG4100.” 24ImmediatelyG2117 the boy’sG3813 fatherG3962 criedG2896 out and saidG3004, “I do believeG4100; helpG997 my unbeliefG570.” 25When JesusG2424 sawG3708 that 30a crowdG3793 was 31rapidlyG1998 gatheringG1998, He rebukedG2008 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151, sayingG3004 to it, “You deafG2974 and muteG216 spiritG4151, I 32commandG2004 you, comeG1831 out of him and do not enterG1525 him 33againG3371.” 26After cryingG2896 out and throwingG4682 him into terribleG4183 convulsionsG4682, it cameG1831 out; and the boy becameG1096 so muchG5616 likeG5616 a corpseG3498 that mostG4183 of them saidG3004, “He is deadG599!” 27But JesusG2424 tookG2902 him by the handG5495 and raisedG1453 him; and he gotG450 up. 28When He cameG1525 34into the houseG3624, His disciplesG3101 began questioningG1905 Him privatelyG2596G2398, “WhyG3739G5101 couldG1410 we not driveG1544 it out?” 29And He saidG3004 to them, “ThisG3778 kindG1085 cannotG1410G3762 comeG1831 out by anythingG3762 but prayerG4335.”
