Marcos 9

1Y les dijo: “En verdad, os digo, entre los que están aquí, algunos no gustarán la muerte sin que hayan visto el reino de Dios venido con poder”.

2Y seis días después, tomó Jesús consigo a Pedro, a Santiago y a Juan, y los llevó solos, aparte, a un alto monte, y se transfiguró a su vista.

3Sus vestidos se pusieron resplandecientes y de tal blancura; que no hay batanero sobre esta tierra, capaz de blanquearlos así.

4Y se les aparecieron Elías y Moisés y conversaban con Jesús.

5Entonces, Pedro dijo a Jesús: “Rabí, es bueno que nos quedemos aquí. Hagamos, pues, aquí tres pabellones, uno para ti, uno para Moisés, y uno para Elías”.

6Era que no sabía lo que decía, porque estaban sobrecogidos de temor.

7Vino, entonces, una nube que los cubrió con su sombra, y de la nube una voz se hizo oír: “Este es mi Hijo, el Amado. ¡Escuchadlo!”.

8Y de repente, mirando todo alrededor, no vieron a nadie con ellos, sino a Jesús solo.

9Cuando bajaban del monte, les prohibió referir a nadie lo que habían visto, mientras el Hijo del hombre no hubiese resucitado de entre los muertos.

10Y conservaron lo acaecido dentro de sí, discurriendo “qué podría significar eso de resucitar de entre los muertos”.

11Y le hicieron esta pregunta: “¿Por qué, pues, dicen los escribas que Elías debe venir primero?”

12Respondioles: “Elías, en efecto, vendrá primero y lo restaurará todo. Pero ¿cómo está escrito del Hijo del hombre, que debe padecer mucho y ser vilipendiado?

13Pues bien, Yo os declaro: en realidad Elías ya vino e hicieron con él cuanto les plugo, como está escrito de él”.

14Llegaron, entretanto, a los discípulos y vieron un gran gentío que los rodeaba, y escribas que discutían con ellos.

15Toda esta multitud en cuanto lo vio se quedó asombrada y corrió a saludarlo.

16Preguntoles: “¿Por qué discutís con ellos?”

17Respondiole uno de la multitud: “Maestro, te he traído a mi hijo, que tiene un demonio mudo.

18Y cuando se apodera de él, lo zamarrea y él echa espumarajos, rechina los dientes y queda todo rígido. Y pedí a tus discípulos que lo expulsasen, y no han podido”.

19Entonces, Él les respondió y dijo: “Oh raza incrédula, ¿hasta cuándo habré de estar con vosotros? ¿Hasta cuándo habré de soportaros? ¡Traédmelo!”.

20Y se lo trajeron. En cuanto lo vio, el espíritu lo zamarreaba ( al muchacho); y caído en el suelo, se revolvía echando espumarajos.

21Y preguntó al padre: “¿Cuánto tiempo hace que esto le sucede?” Respondió: “Desde su infancia;

22y a menudo lo ha echado, ora en el fuego, ora en el agua, para hacerlo morir. Pero si Tú puedes algo, ayúdanos, Y ten compasión de nosotros”.

23Replicole Jesús: “¡Si puedes! ... Todo es posible para el que cree”.

24Entonces, el padre del niño se puso a gritar: “¡Creo! ¡Ven en ayuda de mi falta de fe!”

25Y Jesús viendo que se aproximaba un tropel de gente, conminó al espíritu diciéndole: “Espíritu mudo y sordo, Yo te lo mando, sal de él, y no vuelvas a entrar más en él”.

26Y, gritando y retorciéndole en convulsiones, salió. Y quedó el niño como muerto, y así muchos decían que había muerto.

27Pero Jesús, tomándolo de la mano, lo levantó y él se tuvo en pie.

28Cuando hubo entrado en casa, los discípulos le preguntaron en privado: “¿Por qué, pues, no pudimos nosotros expulsarlo?”

29Les dijo: “Esta casta no puede ser expulsada sino con la oración y el ayuno”.

30Partiendo de allí, pasaron a través de Galilea, y no quería que se supiese;

31porque enseñó esto a sus discípulos: “El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres y lo harán morir; y tres días después de su muerte resucitará?”

32Pero ellos no comprendieron estas palabras y temían preguntarle.

33Entretanto, llegaron a Cafarnaúm; y cuando estuvo en su casa, les preguntó: “¿De qué conversabais en el camino?”.

34Mas ellos guardaron silencio, porque habían discutido entre sí, durante el camino, sobre quien sería el mayor.

35Entonces, sentose, llamo a los Doce y les dijo: “Si alguno quiere, ser el primero, deberá ser el último de todos y el servidor de todos”.

36Y tomando a un niño, lo puso en medio de ellos, y abrazándolo, les dijo:

37“El que recibe a uno de estos niños en mi nombre, a Mí me recibe; y el que a Mí me recibe, no me recibe a Mí, sino a Aquel que me envió”.

38Díjole Juan: “Maestro, vimos a un hombre que expulsaba demonios en tu nombre, el cual no nos sigue; y se lo impedíamos, porque no anda con nosotros”.

39Pero Jesús dijo: “No se lo impidáis, porque nadie, haciendo milagro por mi nombre, será capaz de hablar luego mal de Mí.

40Porque quien no está contra nosotros, por nosotros está.

41Quien os diere a beber un vaso de agua, por razón de que sois de Cristo, en verdad os digo, no perderá su recompensa”.

42Quien escandalizare a uno de estos pequeñitos que creen, más le valdría que le atasen alrededor de su cuello una piedra de molino de las que mueve un asno, y que lo echasen al mar.

43Si tu mano te escandaliza, córtala: más te vale entrar en la vida manco, que irte, con tus dos manos, a la gehenna, al fuego que no se apaga. [ ].

45Y si tu pie te escandaliza, córtalo: más te vale entrar en la vida cojo que ser, con tus dos pies, arrojado a la gehenna. [ ].

47Y si tu ojo te escandaliza, sácalo: más te vale entrar en el reino de Dios teniendo un solo ojo que con tus dos ojos ser arrojado a la gehenna,

48donde “el gusano de ellos no muere y el fuego no se apaga”.

49Porque cada uno ha de ser salado con el fuego. La sal es buena; mas si la sal se vuelve insípida, ¿con qué la sazonaréis? Tened sal en vosotros mismos y estad en paz unos con otros.

1Et post dies sex assumit Jesus Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum solos, et transfiguratus est coram ipsis.

2Et vestimenta ejus facta sunt splendentia, et candida nimis velut nix, qualia fullo non potest super terram candida facere.

3Et apparuit illis Elias cum Moyse: et erant loquentes cum Jesu.

4Et respondens Petrus, ait Jesu: Rabbi, bonum est nos hic esse: et faciamus tria tabernacula, tibi unum, et Moysi unum, et Eliæ unum.

5Non enim sciebat quid diceret: erant enim timore exterriti.

6Et facta est nubes obumbrans eos: et venit vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Filius meus carissimus: audite illum.

7Et statim circumspicientes, neminem amplius viderunt, nisi Jesum tantum secum.

8Et descendentibus illis de monte, præcepit illis ne cuiquam quæ vidissent, narrarent: nisi cum Filius hominis a mortuis resurrexerit.

9Et verbum continuerunt apud se: conquirentes quid esset, cum a mortuis resurrexerit.

10Et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Quid ergo dicunt pharisæi et scribæ, quia Eliam oportet venire primum?

11Qui respondens, ait illis: Elias cum venerit primo, restituet omnia: et quomodo scriptum est in Filium hominis, ut multa patiatur et contemnatur.

12Sed dico vobis quia et Elias venit (et fecerunt illi quæcumque voluerunt) sicut scriptum est de eo.

13Et veniens ad discipulos suos, vidit turbam magnam circa eos, et scribas conquirentes cum illis.

14Et confestim omnis populus videns Jesum, stupefactus est, et expaverunt, et accurrentes salutabant eum.

15Et interrogavit eos: Quid inter vos conquiritis?

16Et respondens unus de turba, dixit: Magister, attuli filium meum ad te habentem spiritum mutum:

17qui ubicumque eum apprehenderit, allidit illum, et spumat, et stridet dentibus, et arescit: et dixi discipulis tuis ut ejicerent illum, et non potuerunt.

18Qui respondens eis, dixit: O generatio incredula, quamdiu apud vos ero? quamdiu vos patiar? afferte illum ad me.

19Et attulerunt eum. Et cum vidisset eum, statim spiritus conturbavit illum: et elisus in terram, volutabatur spumans.

20Et interrogavit patrem ejus: Quantum temporis est ex quo ei hoc accidit? At ille ait: Ab infantia:

21et frequenter eum in ignem, et in aquas misit ut eum perderet: sed si quid potes, adjuva nos, misertus nostri.

22Jesus autem ait illi: Si potes credere, omnia possibilia sunt credenti.

23Et continuo exclamans pater pueri, cum lacrimis aiebat: Credo, Domine; adjuva incredulitatem meam.

24Et cum videret Jesus concurrentem turbam, comminatus est spiritui immundo, dicens illi: Surde et mute spiritus, ego præcipio tibi, exi ab eo: et amplius ne introëas in eum.

25Et exclamans, et multum discerpens eum, exiit ab eo, et factus est sicut mortuus, ita ut multi dicerent: Quia mortuus est.

26Jesus autem tenens manum ejus elevavit eum, et surrexit.

27Et cum introisset in domum, discipuli ejus secreto interrogabant eum: Quare nos non potuimus ejicere eum?

28Et dixit illis: Hoc genus in nullo potest exire, nisi in oratione et jejunio.

29Et inde profecti prætergrediebantur Galilæam: nec volebat quemquam scire.

30Docebat autem discipulos suos, et dicebat illis: Quoniam Filius hominis tradetur in manus hominum, et occident eum, et occisus tertia die resurget.

31At illi ignorabant verbum: et timebant interrogare eum.

32Et venerunt Capharnaum. Qui cum domi essent, interrogabat eos: Quid in via tractabatis?

33At illi tacebant: siquidem in via inter se disputaverunt: quis eorum major esset.

34Et residens vocavit duodecim, et ait illis: Si quis vult primus esse, erit omnium novissimus, et omnium minister.

35Et accipiens puerum, statuit eum in medio eorum: quem cum complexus esset, ait illis:

36Quisquis unum ex hujusmodi pueris receperit in nomine meo, me recipit: et quicumque me susceperit, non me suscipit, sed eum qui misit me.

37Respondit illi Joannes, dicens: Magister, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo ejicientem dæmonia, qui non sequitur nos, et prohibuimus eum.

38Jesus autem ait: Nolite prohibere eum: nemo est enim qui faciat virtutem in nomine meo, et possit cito male loqui de me:

39qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.

40Quisquis enim potum dederit vobis calicem aquæ in nomine meo, quia Christi estis: amen dico vobis, non perdet mercedem suam.

41Et quisquis scandalizaverit unum ex his pusillis credentibus in me: bonum est ei magis si circumdaretur mola asinaria collo ejus, et in mare mitteretur.

42Et si scandalizaverit te manus tua, abscide illam: bonum est tibi debilem introire in vitam, quam duas manus habentem ire in gehennam, in ignem inextinguibilem,

43ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.

44Et si pes tuus te scandalizat, amputa illum: bonum est tibi claudum introire in vitam æternam, quam duos pedes habentem mitti in gehennam ignis inextinguibilis,

45ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.

46Quod si oculus tuus scandalizat te, ejice eum: bonum est tibi luscum introire in regnum Dei, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis,

47ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur.

48Omnis enim igne salietur, et omnis victima sale salietur.

49Bonum est sal: quod si sal insulsum fuerit, in quo illud condietis? Habete in vobis sal, et pacem habete inter vos.

1And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.

2And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.

3And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

4And Peter answering, 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 Elias.

5For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.

6And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him.

7And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.

8And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.

9And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.

10And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?

11Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.

12But I say to you, that Elias also is come, (and they have done to him whatsoever they would,) as it is written of him.

13And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.

14And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.

15And he asked them: What do you question about among you?

16And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.

17Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

18Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

19And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.

20And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:

21And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.

22And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

23And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.

24And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.

25And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.

26But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.

27And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?

28And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

29And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.

30And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.

31But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.

32And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?

33But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.

34And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.

35And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:

36Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

37John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.

38But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.

39For he that is not against you, is for you.

40For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

41And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

42And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:

43Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

44And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:

45Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

46And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:

47Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

48For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.

49Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
