1 He said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power."

2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them. 3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.

5 Peter answered Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.

7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."

8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.

9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.

11 They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

12 He said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."

14 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them. 15 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him. 16 He asked the scribes, "What are you asking them?"

17 One of the multitude answered, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit; 18 and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able."

19 He answered him, "Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me."

20 They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.

21 He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has been happening to him?"

He said, "From childhood. 22 Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."

23 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, "I believe. Help my unbelief!"

25 When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!"

26 After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, "He is dead." 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.

28 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn’t we cast it out?"

29 He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting."

30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it, 31 for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again."

32 But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"

34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.

35 He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all." 36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 "Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me."

38 John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us."

39 But Jesus said, "Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me. 40 For whoever is not against us is on our side. 41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

42 "Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, 44 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ 45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— 46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ 47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, 48 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ 49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. 50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

1 耶稣又对他们说： "我实在告诉你们， 站在这里的， 有人在没有尝过死味以前， 必定看见 神的国带着能力降临。"

2 过了六天， 耶稣带着彼得、雅各、约翰， 领他们悄悄地上了高山， 在他们面前改变了形象。

3 他的衣服闪耀发光， 极其洁白， 地上漂布的没有能漂得这样白的。

4 又有以利亚和摩西向他们显现， 并且跟耶稣谈话。

5 彼得对耶稣说： "拉比， 我们在这里真好！ 我们可以搭三个帐棚， 一个为你， 一个为摩西， 一个为以利亚。"

6 彼得不知道该说什么才好， 因为他们都非常害怕。

7 有一片云彩来， 笼罩他们， 又有声音从云中出来： "这是我的爱子， 你们要听他。"

8 门徒立刻周围观看， 再也看不见别的人， 只见耶稣单独和他们在一起。

9 他们下山的时候， 耶稣吩咐他们， 人子从死人中复活之前， 不要把所看见的告诉人。

10 门徒把这句话记在心里， 又彼此讨论从死人中复活是什么意思。

11 他们就问耶稣： "经学家为什么说以利亚必须先来呢？"

12 耶稣说： "以利亚固然要先来复兴一切， 但圣经为什么又记载人子要受许多苦， 被人藐视呢？

13 其实我告诉你们， 以利亚已经来了， 他们却任意待他， 正如经上指着他所说的。"

14 他们回到门徒那里， 看见一大群人围着他们， 又有经学家和他们辩论。

15 众人看见了耶稣， 都很惊奇， 就跑上前去向他问安。

16 他问他们： "你们和他们辩论什么？"

17 群众当中有一个回答他： "老师， 我把我的儿子带到你这里来， 他被哑巴鬼附着。

18 无论在哪里， 鬼抓住他， 把他摔倒， 他就口吐白沫， 咬牙切齿， 浑身僵硬。我请你的门徒把鬼赶出去， 他们却办不到。"

19 耶稣回答他们： "唉！ 不信的世代啊！ 我跟你们在一起到几时呢？我要忍受你们到几时呢？把他带到我这里来吧。"

20 他们就把孩子带到他跟前。那鬼一见耶稣， 就立刻使孩子抽了一阵疯， 倒在地上， 流着唾沫打滚。

21 耶稣问他父亲： "这事临到他有多久了？"他说： "从小就是这样。

22 鬼常常把他扔在火里水中， 要毁灭他。如果你能作什么， 求你可怜我们， 帮助我们。"

23 耶稣对他说： "‘如果你能’（"如果你能"有些抄本作"你若能信"）──对于信的人， 什么都能！ "

24 孩子的父亲立刻喊着说： "我信！ 但我的信心不够， 求你帮助我。"

25 耶稣看见群众围拢了来， 就斥责那污鬼说： "聋哑的鬼， 我吩咐你从他身上出来， 不要再进去。"

26 那鬼大声喊叫， 使孩子重重地抽了一阵疯， 就出来了。孩子好像死了一样， 所以许多人都说： "他死了！ "

27 但耶稣拉着他的手， 扶他起来， 他就站起来了。

28 耶稣进了屋子， 门徒私下问他说： "为什么我们不能把那污鬼赶出去呢？"

29 耶稣对他们说： "这一类的鬼， 非用祷告是赶不出去的。"

30 他们从那里出去， 经过加利利， 耶稣不想让人知道，

31 因为他正在教导门徒。他又对他们说： "人子将要被交在人的手里， 他们要杀害他， 死后三天他要复活。"

32 门徒不明白这话， 又不敢问他。

33 他们来到迦百农。在屋里的时候， 耶稣问他们： "你们在路上争论什么？"

34 门徒一声不响， 因为他们在路上彼此争论谁为大。

35 耶稣坐下， 叫十二门徒来， 对他们说： "谁想为首， 就该作众人中最末的一个， 作众人的仆人。"

36 于是拉过一个小孩子来， 叫他站在门徒中间， 又把他抱起来， 对他们说：

37 "凡因我的名接待一个这样的小孩子的， 就是接待我； 凡接待我的， 不是接待我， 而是接待那差我来的。"

38 约翰对耶稣说： "老师， 我们看见有一个人奉你的名赶鬼， 就禁止他， 因为他不跟从我们。"

39 耶稣说： "不要禁止他， 因为没有人能奉我的名行了神迹， 又立刻毁谤我。

40 不反对我们的， 就是赞成我们的。

41 无论谁因你们有属基督的名分， 给你们一杯水喝的， 我实在告诉你们， 他决不会失掉赏赐。

42 "如果有人使一个信我的小弟兄犯罪， 倒不如在他的颈项上拴一块大磨石投在海里。

43 如果你的一只手使你犯罪， 就把它砍下来。你身体残废进永生， 总比有两只手下到地狱， 进入那不灭的火里好得多。

44 （有些抄本有第44节： "在那里虫是不死的， 火是不灭的。"）

45 如果你的一只脚使你犯罪， 就把它砍下来。你瘸腿进永生， 总比你有两只脚而被丢在地狱里好得多。

46 （有些抄本有第46节： "在那里虫是不死的， 火是不灭的。"）

47 如果你的一只眼睛使你犯罪， 就把它挖出来。你只有一只眼睛进 神的国， 总比你有两只眼睛而被丢在地狱里好得多，

48 在那里虫是不死的， 火是不灭的。

49 每一个人必被火当盐来腌。（有些抄本在此有"各祭物必用盐来腌"一句； 也有些抄本只有附注的一句， 而没有正文的一句）

50 盐是好的， 但如果失了味， 可以用什么使它再咸呢？你们自己里面应当有盐， 彼此和睦。"
