1 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 with power."2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John 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, 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, 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: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"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 what they had seen until the Son of Man 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 must suffer much and be rejected?13 But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him."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.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."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, 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, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"29 He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer. ""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 is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise."32 But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.33 They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, 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.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."36 He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, 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."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."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.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.42 "If anyone causes one of these little ones —those who believe in me —to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.44 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.46 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, 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,48 where "'the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.' [^4]49 Everyone will be salted with fire.50 "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other."

1 وقال لهم الحق اقول لكم ان من القيام ههنا قوما لا يذوقون الموت حتى يروا ملكوت الله قد أتى بقوة2 وبعد ستة ايام اخذ يسوع بطرس ويعقوب ويوحنا وصعد بهم الى جبل عال منفردين وحدهم. وتغيّرت هيئته قدامهم3 وصارت ثيابه تلمع بيضاء جدا كالثلج لا يقدر قصّار على الارض ان يبيض مثل ذلك.4 وظهر لهم ايليا مع موسى. وكانا يتكلمان مع يسوع.5 فجعل بطرس يقول ليسوع يا سيدي جيد ان نكون ههنا. فلنصنع ثلاث مظال. لك واحدة ولموسى واحدة ولايليا واحدة.6 لانه لم يكن يعلم ما يتكلم به اذ كانوا مرتعبين.7 وكانت سحابة تظللهم. فجاء صوت من السحابة قائلا هذا هو ابني الحبيب له اسمعوا.8 فنظروا حولهم بغتة ولم يروا احدا غير يسوع وحده معهم9 وفيما هم نازلون من الجبل اوصاهم ان لا يحدثوا احد بما ابصروا الا متى قام ابن الانسان من الاموات.10 فحفظوا الكلمة لانفسهم يتساءلون ما هو القيام من الاموات.11 فسألوه قائلين لماذا يقول الكتبة ان ايليا ينبغي ان يأتي اولا.12 فاجاب وقال لهم ان ايليا يأتي اولا ويرد كل شيء. وكيف هو مكتوب عن ابن الانسان ان يتألم كثيرا ويرذل.13 لكن اقول لكم ان ايليا ايضا قد أتى وعملوا به كل ما ارادوا كما هو مكتوب عنه14 ولما جاء الى التلاميذ رأى جمعا كثيرا حولهم وكتبة يحاورونهم.15 وللوقت كل الجمع لما رأوه تحيّروا وركضوا وسلموا عليه.16 فسأل الكتبة بماذا تحاورونهم.17 فاجاب واحد من الجمع وقال يا معلّم قد قدمت اليك ابني به روح اخرس.18 وحيثما ادركه يمزقه فيزبد ويصرّ باسنانه وييبس. فقلت لتلاميذك ان يخرجوه فلم يقدروا.19 فاجاب وقال لهم ايها الجيل غير المؤمن الى متى اكون معكم. الى متى احتملكم . ‎ قدموه اليّ.20 فقدموه اليه. فلما رآه للوقت صرعه الروح فوقع على الارض يتمرغ ويزبد.21 فسأل اباه كم من الزمان منذ اصابه هذا. فقال منذ صباه.22 وكثيرا ما ألقاه في النار وفي الماء ليهلكه. لكن ان كنت تستطيع شيئا فتحنن علينا واعنّا.23 فقال له يسوع ان كنت تستطيع ان تؤمن. كل شيء مستطاع للمؤمن.24 فللوقت صرخ ابو الولد بدموع وقال اؤمن يا سيد فاعن عدم ايماني.25 فلما رأى يسوع ان الجمع يتراكضون انتهر الروح النجس قائلا له ايها الروح الاخرس الاصم انا آمرك. اخرج منه ولا تدخله ايضا.26 فصرخ وصرعه شديدا وخرج. فصار كميت حتى قال كثيرون انه مات.27 فامسكه يسوع بيده واقامه فقام.28 ولما دخل بيتا سأله تلاميذه على انفراد لماذا لم نقدر نحن ان نخرجه.29 فقال لهم هذا الجنس لا يمكن ان يخرج بشيء الا بالصلاة والصوم30 وخرجوا من هناك واجتازوا الجليل ولم يرد ان يعلم احد.31 لانه كان يعلّم تلاميذه ويقول لهم ان ابن الانسان يسلم الى ايدي الناس فيقتلونه. وبعد ان يقتل يقوم في اليوم الثالث.32 واما هم فلم يفهموا القول وخافوا ان يسألوه33 وجاء الى كفرناحوم. واذ كان في البيت سألهم بماذا كنتم تتكالمون فيما بينكم في الطريق.34 فسكتوا. لانهم تحاجوا في الطريق بعضهم مع بعض في من هو اعظم.35 فجلس ونادى الاثني عشر وقال لهم اذا اراد احد ان يكون اولا فيكون آخر الكل وخادما للكل.36 فاخذ ولدا واقامه في وسطهم ثم احتضنه وقال لهم.37 من قبل واحدا من اولاد مثل هذا باسمي يقبلني ومن قبلني فليس يقبلني انا بل الذي ارسلني38 فاجابه يوحنا قائلا يا معلّم رأينا واحدا يخرج شياطين باسمك وهو ليس يتبعنا. فمنعناه لانه ليس يتبعنا.39 فقال يسوع لا تمنعوه. لانه ليس احد يصنع قوة باسمي ويستطيع سريعا ان يقول علي شرا.40 لان من ليس علينا فهو معنا.41 لان من سقاكم كاس ماء باسمي لانكم للمسيح فالحق اقول لكم انه لا يضيع اجره.42 ومن اعثر احد الصغار المؤمنين بي فخير له لو طوق عنقه بحجر رحى وطرح في البحر.43 وان اعثرتك يدك فاقطعها. خير لك ان تدخل الحياة اقطع من ان تكون لك يدان وتمضي الى جهنم الى النار التي لا تطفأ.44 حيث دودهم لا يموت والنار لا تطفأ.45 وان اعثرتك رجلك فاقطعها. خير لك ان تدخل الحياة اعرج من ان تكون لك رجلان وتطرح في جهنم في النار التي لا تطفا.46 حيث دودهم لا يموت والنار لا تطفأ.47 وان اعثرتك عينك فاقلعها. خير لك ان تدخل ملكوت الله اعور من ان تكون لك عينان وتطرح في جهنم النار.48 حيث دودهم لا يموت والنار لا تطفأ.49 لان كل واحد يملّح بنار وكل ذبيحة تملّح بملح.50 الملح جيد. ولكن اذا صار الملح بلا ملوحة فبماذا تصلحونه. ليكن لكم في انفسكم ملح وسالموا بعضكم بعضا
