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 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Tenei ano etahi o te hunga e tu nei, e kore e pangia e te mate, kia kite ra ano i te rangatiratanga o te Atua e haere mai ana i runga i te kaha.

2 A, ka pahure nga ra e ono, ka mau a Ihu ki a Pita, ki a Hemi, ki a Hoani, na kawea ana ratou e ia ki runga ki tetahi maunga tiketike, ko ratou anake: a ka puta ke tona ahua i to ratou aroaro.

3 Na kanapa tonu ona kakahu, ma tonu me te hukarere; e kore e taea e te kaihoroi i runga i te whenua te mea kia pera te ma.

4 Na ka puta mai ki a ratou a Iraia raua ko Mohi: e korerorero ana raua ki a Ihu.

5 Na ka oho a Pita, ka mea ki a Ihu, E te Kaiwhakaako, he mea pai kia noho tatou ki konei: na kia hanga e matou etahi wharau kia toru: kia kotahi mou, kia kotahi mo Mohi, kia kotahi mo Iraia.

6 Kahore hoki ia i matau ki tana e korero ai; i wehi hoki ratou.

7 Na ko tetahi kapua e taumarumaru ana ki runga ki a ratou: a ka puta he reo i te kapua, e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai; whakarongo ki a ia.

8 A, titiro rawa ake ratou ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, kahore a ratou tangata i kite ai, ko ratou anake, ko Ihu.

9 A, i a ratou e heke iho ana i te maunga, ka whakatupato ia i a ratou kia kaua e korerotia ki te tangata a ratou i kite ai, kia ara ra ano te Tama a te tangata i te hunga mate.

10 A i puritia taua kupu e ratou, ka uiui ki a ratou ano, he aha ra te aranga ake i te hunga mate.

11 A ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea, he aha nga karaipi ka mea ai, ko Iraia kia matua puta mai?

12 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E puta ana ano a Iraia i mua ki te whakatika i nga mea katoa; kua oti ano te tuhituhi mo te Tama a te tangata, kia maha ona mamae, kia whakakahoretia.

13 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Kua tae mai ano a Iraia, heoi meatia ana e ratou ki a ia ta ratou i pai ai, nga mea hoki i tuhituhia mona.

14 A, no to ratou taenga ki nga akonga, ka kite ratou he rahi te hui e karapoti ana i a ratou, me nga karaipi e totohe ana ki a ratou.

15 A, kite kau te mano katoa i a ia, ka miharo, a oma ana, oha ana ki a ia.

16 Na ka ui ia ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e totohe na ki a ratou?

17 Na ka whakahoki tetahi i roto i te mano, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, i kawea mai e ahau taku tama ki a koe, he wairua reokore tona;

18 A, i nga wahi e hopu ai te wairua i a ia, ka taia iho: tutu ana te huka, tetea ana ona niho, a pakoko haere ana: i mea ano ahau ki au akonga kia peia ia ki waho; heoi kihai i taea e ratou.

19 Na ko tana whakahokinga ki a ia, ka mea, E te uri whakaponokore, kia pehea te roa o toku noho ki a koutou? kia pehea te roa o taku manawanui ki a koutou? Kawea mai ki ahau.

20 Na kawea ana mai ia ki a ia: a, i tona kitenga i a ia, na haea tonutia iho ia e te wairua; a hinga ana ia ki te whenua, ka oke, ka huka.

21 Na ka ui ia ki tona matua, Ka pehea te roa o te mea nei ki a ia? Ka mea ia, No te tamarikitanga:

22 He maha ana turakanga i a ia ki te kapura, ki te wai, kia ngaro ai: otira ki te taea e koe te aha ranei, arohaina maua, kia puta tou whakaaro ki a maua.

23 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te taea e koe te whakapono, ka taea nga mea katoa e te tangata whakapono.

24 Na karanga tonu mai te matua o te tama, ka mea, E whakapono ana ahau, e te Ariki; kia puta tou whakaaro ki toku whakaponokore.

25 A, no te kitenga o Ihu i te mano e oma mai ana, ka riria e ia te wairua poke, ka mea ki a ia, E te wairua reokore, turi, ko taku tenei ki a koe, Puta mai i roto i a ia, kaua ano e tomo ki roto ki a ia a muri ake nei.

26 Na hamama ana tera, haehae noa iho ana i a ia, a puta ana mai ki waho: no ka pera taua tangata me te tupapaku, a he tokomaha i mea, Kua mate.

27 Otira ka mau a Ihu ki tona ringa, ka whakaara i a ia: a ka whakatika ia.

28 A, i a ia ka tomo ki te whare, ka ui puku ana akonga ki a ia, he aha matou te ahei ai te pei i a ia ki waho?

29 Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, E kore e puta noa te pena, ma te inoi anake, ma te nohopuku.

30 Na ka hapainga e ratou i reira, a haere ana ra waenganui o Kariri; kihai hoki ia i pai kia rangona e tetahi.

31 Ko tana hoki i whakaako ai ki ana akonga, i mea ai ki a ratou, Ka tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga ringa o nga tangata, a ma ratou ia e whakamate; a, ka oti ia te whakamate, ka ara ake i te toru o nga ra.

32 Na kihai ratou i matau ki taua kupu, ka mataku hoki ki te ui ki a ia.

33 Na ka tae ratou ki Kaperenauma; a, i a ia i roto i te whare, ka ui ia ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou i korerorero ai ki a koutou i te ara?

34 Otiia kihai ratou i kiki: ko ta ratou hoki i kore korero ai ki a ratou i te ara, ko wai te mea nui rawa.

35 Na ka noho ia, ka karanga i te tekau ma rua, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te whai tetahi kia whiti ko ia hei mua, ka waiho ia hei muri i te katoa, hei kaimahi ma te katoa.

36 Na ka mau ia ki tetahi tamaiti nohinohi, a whakaturia ana ki waenganui i a ratou: na ka okooko i a ia, ka mea ki a ratou,

37 Ki te manako tetahi ki tetahi o nga tamariki penei, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, e manako ana ia ki ahau: ki te manako hoki tetahi ki ahau, ehara i ahau tana i manako ai, engari ko toku kaitono mai.

38 Na ka mea a Hoani ki ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, i kite matou i tetahi e pei rewera ana i runga i tou ingoa: na riria iho e matou, kahore hoki ia e haere tahi me tatou.

39 Na ka mea a ihu, Kaua ia e riria: ki te mea hoki noku te ingoa e mahi merekara ai tetahi, e kore e hohoro tana korero kino moku.

40 Ko ia hoki ehara i te hoariri ki a tatou, no tatou ia.

41 Ki te whakainumia koutou e tetahi ki te kapu wai, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, no te mea no te Karaiti koutou, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore ia e hapa i tona utu.

42 Na, ki te mea tetahi kia he tetahi o enei mea nonohi e whakapono nei ki ahau, he pai ke ki a ia me i whakairia tetahi kohatu mira ki tona kaki, a ka maka ia ki te moana.

43 Na, ki te he koe i tou ringa, poutoa: pai ke hoki mou te tomo mutu ki te ora i te maka ringaruatia ki Kehena, ki te kapura e kore e tineia:

44 Ki te wahi e kore ai e mate to ratou kutukutu, ki te kapura e kore e e tineia.

45 Ki te he ano koe i tou waewae, poutoa: pai ke hoki mou te tomo kopa ki te ora i te maka waewaeruatia ki Kehena,

46 Ki te wahi e kore ai e mate to ratou kutukutu, ki te kapura e kore e tineia.

47 A, ki te he koe i tou kanohi, maka atu: pai ke hoki mou te tomo kanohi tahi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua i te maka kanohiruatia ki Kehena:

48 Ki te wahi e kore ai e mate to ratou kutukutu, ki te kapura e kore e tineia.

49 Ta te mea ka totea nga tangata katoa ki te kapura.

50 He pai te tote: otira ki te pirau te tote, ma te aha e whai tikanga tote ai? Kia whai tote i roto i a koutou, kia mau hoki te rongo a tetahi ki tetahi.
