Mark 9:43 - Prayer Tents

9And he said to them, "Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."G2532G3004G846G281G3004G5213G3754G1526G5100G2476G5602G3748G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G2316G2064G1722G1411

The Transfiguration

2Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,G2532G3326G1803G2250G2424G3880G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G2532G399G846G399G1519G5308G3735G2596G2398G3441G2532G3339G1715G8463and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them.G2532G846G2440G1096G4744G3029G3022G5613G5510G3634G3756G1102G1909G1093G1410G30214And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus.G2532G3700G846G2243G4862G3475G2532G2258G4814G24245Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."G2532G4074G611G3004G2424G4461G2076G2570G2248G1511G5602G2532G4160G5140G4633G3391G4671G2532G3391G3475G2532G3391G22436He did not know what to say, for they were terrified.G1063G1492G3756G5101G2980G1063G2258G16307Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!"G2532G1096G3507G1982G846G2532G5456G2064G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G8468Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus.G2532G1819G4017G1492G3762G3765G235G2424G3441G3326G1438

The Coming of Elijah

9As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.G1161G846G2597G575G3735G1291G846G2443G1334G3367G3739G1492G1508G3752G5207G444G450G1537G349810So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead could mean.G2532G2902G3056G4314G1438G4802G5101G450G1537G3498G207611Then they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"G2532G1905G846G3004G3754G3004G1122G3754G2243G1163G4412G206412He said to them, "Elijah is indeed coming first to restore all things. How then is it written about the Son of Man, that he is to go through many sufferings and be treated with contempt?G1161G611G2036G846G2243G3303G2064G4412G600G3956G2532G4459G1125G1909G5207G444G2443G3958G4183G2532G184713But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written about him."G235G3004G5213G3754G2243G2064G2532G2064G2532G4160G846G3745G2309G2531G1125G1909G846

The Healing of a Boy with a Spirit

14When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.G2532G2064G4314G3101G1492G4183G3793G4012G846G2532G1122G4802G84615When the whole crowd saw him, they were immediately overcome with awe, and they ran forward to greet him.G2532G2112G3956G3793G1492G846G1568G2532G4370G782G84616He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"G2532G1905G1122G5101G4802G4314G84617Someone from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought you my son; he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak;G2532G1520G1537G3793G611G2036G1320G5342G4314G4571G3450G5207G2192G216G415118and whenever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they could not do so."G2532G3699G302G2638G846G4486G846G2532G875G2532G5149G846G3599G2532G3583G2532G2036G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G2480G375619He answered them, "You faithless generation, how much longer must I be among you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him to me."G611G846G1161G3004G5599G571G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2193G4219G430G5216G5342G846G4314G316520And they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.G2532G5342G846G4314G846G2532G1492G846G2112G4151G4682G846G2532G4098G1909G1093G2947G87521Jesus asked the father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.G2532G1905G846G3962G4214G2076G5550G5613G5124G1096G846G1161G2036G381222It has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us."G2532G4178G906G846G2532G1519G4442G2532G1519G5204G2443G622G846G235G1536G1410G1536G4697G1909G2248G997G225423Jesus said to him, "If you are able!—All things can be done for the one who believes."G1161G2424G2036G846G1487G1410G4100G3956G1415G846G410024Immediately the father of the child cried out, "I believe; help my unbelief!"G2532G2112G3962G3813G2896G3004G3326G1144G2962G4100G997G3450G57025When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You spirit that keeps this boy from speaking and hearing, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!"G1161G2424G1492G3754G3793G1998G2008G169G4151G3004G846G216G2532G2974G4151G1473G2004G4671G1831G1537G846G2532G1525G3371G1519G84626After crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead."G2532G2896G2532G4682G846G4183G1831G2532G1096G5616G3498G5620G3754G4183G3004G59927But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he was able to stand.G1161G2424G2902G846G5495G1453G846G1453G2532G45028When he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"G2532G846G1525G1519G3624G846G3101G1905G846G2596G2398G3754G1410G3756G2249G1544G846G154429He said to them, "This kind can come out only through prayer."G2532G2036G846G5124G1085G1410G1831G1722G3762G1508G1722G4335G2532G3521

Jesus Again Foretells His Death and Resurrection

30They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it;G2532G1831G1564G3899G1223G1056G2532G2309G3756G2443G5100G109731for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again."G1063G1321G846G3101G2532G3004G846G3754G5207G444G3860G1519G5495G444G2532G615G846G2532G615G450G5154G225032But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him.G1161G50G4487G2532G5399G1905G846

Who Is the Greatest?

33Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?"G2532G2064G1519G2584G2532G1096G1722G3614G1905G846G5101G1260G4314G1438G1722G359834But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest.G1161G4623G1063G1722G3598G1256G4314G240G5101G318735He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all."G2532G2523G5455G1427G2532G3004G846G1536G2309G1511G4413G2071G2078G3956G2532G1249G395636Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them,G2532G2983G3813G2476G846G1722G3319G846G2532G1723G846G1723G2036G84637"Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me."G3739G1437G1209G1520G5108G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G3756G1691G235G649G3165

Another Exorcist

38John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us."G1161G2491G611G846G3004G1320G1492G5100G1544G1140G4675G3686G3739G190G3756G2254G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G225439But Jesus said, "Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.G1161G2424G2036G2967G846G3361G1063G2076G3762G3739G4160G1411G1909G3450G3686G2532G1410G5035G2551G316540Whoever is not against us is for us.G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G2257G522841For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward.G1063G3739G302G4222G5209G4221G5204G4222G1722G3450G3686G3754G2075G5547G281G3004G5213G622G3364G622G846G3408

Temptations to Sin

42"If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea.G2532G3739G302G4624G1520G3398G4100G1519G1691G2076G2570G3123G846G1487G3037G3457G4029G4012G846G5137G2532G906G1519G228143If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.G2532G1437G4675G5495G4624G4571G609G846G609G2076G2570G4671G1525G1519G2222G2948G2228G2192G1417G5495G565G1519G1067G1519G4442G76244[????]G3699G846G4663G5053G3756G2532G4442G4570G3756G457045And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and to be thrown into hell.G2532G1437G4675G4228G4624G4571G609G846G609G2076G2570G4671G1525G5560G1519G2222G2228G2192G1417G4228G906G1519G1067G1519G4442G76246[????]G3699G846G4663G5053G3756G2532G4442G4570G3756G457047And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell,G2532G1437G4675G3788G4624G4571G1544G846G1544G2076G2570G4671G1525G1519G932G2316G3442G2228G2192G1417G3788G906G1519G1067G444248where their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.G3699G846G4663G5053G3756G2532G4442G4570G3756G457049"For everyone will be salted with fire.G1063G3956G233G4442G2532G3956G2378G233G25150Salt is good; but if salt has lost its saltiness, how can you season it?
