Mark 9 Darby Translation
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God come in power.
1 TAMBIÉN les dijo: De cierto os digo que hay algunos de los que están aquí, que no gustarán la muerte hasta que hayan visto el reino de Dios que viene con potencia.
2 And after six days Jesus takes with [him] Peter and James and John, and takes them up on a high mountain by themselves apart. And he was transfigured before them:
2 Y seis días después tomó Jesús á Pedro, y á Jacobo, y á Juan, y los sacó aparte solos á un monte alto; y fué transfigurado delante de ellos.
3 and his garments became shining, exceeding white [as snow], such as fuller on earth could not whiten [them].
3 Y sus vestidos se volvieron resplandecientes, muy blancos, como la nieve; tanto que ningún lavador en la tierra los puede hacer tan blancos.
4 And there appeared to them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
4 Y les apareció Elías con Moisés, que hablaban con Jesús.
5 And Peter answering says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good that we should be here; and let us make three tabernacles, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elias one.
5 Entonces respondiendo Pedro, dice á Jesús: Maestro, bien será que nos quedemos aquí, y hagamos tres pabellones: para ti uno, y para Moisés otro, y para Elías otro;
6 For he knew not what he should say, for they were filled with fear.
6 Porque no sabía lo que hablaba; que estaban espantados.
7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
7 Y vino una nube que les hizo sombra, y una voz de la nube, que decía: Este es mi Hijo amado: á él oid.
8 And suddenly having looked around, they no longer saw any one, but Jesus alone with themselves.
8 Y luego, como miraron, no vieron más á nadie consigo, sino á Jesús solo.
9 And as they descended from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate to no one what they had seen, unless when the Son of man should be risen from among [the] dead.
9 Y descendiendo ellos del monte, les mandó que á nadie dijesen lo que habían visto, sino cuando el Hijo del hombre hubiese resucitado de los muertos.
10 And they kept that saying, questioning among themselves, what rising from among [the] dead was.
10 Y retuvieron la palabra en sí, altercando qué sería aquéllo: Resucitar de los muertos.
11 And they asked him saying, Why do the scribes say that Elias must first have come?
11 Y le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Qué es lo que los escribas dicen, que es necesario que Elías venga antes?
12 And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, and be set at nought:
12 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: Elías á la verdad, viniendo antes, restituirá todas las cosas: y como está escrito del Hijo del hombre, que padezca mucho y sea tenido en nada.
13 but I say unto you that Elias also is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.
13 Empero os digo que Elías [ya] vino, y le hicieron todo lo que quisieron, como está escrito de él.
14 And when he came to the disciples he saw a great crowd around them, and scribes disputing against them.
14 Y como vino á los discípulos, vió grande compañía alrededor de ellos, y escribas que disputaban con ellos.
15 And immediately all the crowd seeing him were amazed, and running to [him], saluted him.
15 Y luego toda la gente, viéndole, se espantó, y corriendo á él, le saludaron.
16 And he asked them, What do ye question with them about?
16 Y preguntóles: ¿Qué disputáis con ellos?
17 And one out of the crowd answered him, Teacher, I brought to thee my son, who has a dumb spirit;
17 Y respondiendo uno de la compañía, dijo: Maestro, traje á ti mi hijo, que tiene un espíritu mudo,
18 and wheresoever it seizes him it tears him, and he foams and gnashes his teeth, and he is withering away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they might cast him out, and they could not.
18 El cual, donde quiera que le toma, le despedaza; y echa espumarajos, y cruje los dientes, y se va secando: y dije á tus discípulos que le echasen fuera, y no pudieron.
19 But he answering them says, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.
19 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: ¡Oh generación infiel! ¿hasta cuándo estaré con vosotros? ¿hasta cuándo os tengo de sufrir? Traédmele.
20 And they brought him to him. And seeing him the spirit immediately tore him; and falling upon the earth he rolled foaming.
20 Y se le trajeron: y como le vió, luego el espíritu le desgarraba; y cayendo en tierra, se revolcaba, echando espumarajos.
21 And he asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;
21 Y [Jesús] preguntó á su padre: ¿Cuánto tiempo há que le aconteció esto? Y él dijo: Desde niño:
22 and often it has cast him both into fire and into waters that it might destroy him: but if thou couldst [do] anything, be moved with pity on us, and help us.
22 Y muchas veces le echa en el fuego y en aguas, para matarle; mas, si puedes algo, ayúdanos, teniendo misericordia de nosotros.
23 And Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is [if thou couldst] believe: all things are possible to him that believes.
23 Y Jesús le dijo: Si puedes creer, al que cree todo es posible.
24 And immediately the father of the young child crying out said [with tears], I believe, help mine unbelief.
24 Y luego el padre del muchacho dijo clamando: Creo, ayuda mi incredulidad.
25 But Jesus, seeing that [the] crowd was running up together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
25 Y como Jesús vió que la multitud se agolpaba, reprendió al espíritu inmundo, diciéndole: Espíritu mudo y sordo, yo te mando, sal de él, y no entres más en él.
26 And having cried out and torn [him] much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead.
26 Entonces [el espíritu] clamando y desgarrándole mucho, salió; y [él] quedó como muerto, de modo que muchos decían: Está muerto.
27 But Jesus, having taken hold of him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
27 Mas Jesús tomándole de la mano, enderezóle; y se levantó.
28 And when he was entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Wherefore could not we cast him out?
28 Y como él entró en casa, sus discípulos le preguntaron aparte: ¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos echarle fuera?
29 And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.
29 Y les dijo: Este género con nada puede salir, sino con oración y ayuno.
30 And going forth from thence they went through Galilee; and he would not that any one knew it;
30 Y habiendo salido de allí, caminaron por Galilea; y no quería que nadie lo supiese.
31 for he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into men's hands, and they shall kill him; and having been killed, after three days he shall rise again.
31 Porque enseñaba á sus discípulos, y les decía: El Hijo del hombre será entregado en manos de hombres, y le matarán; mas muerto [él], resucitará al tercer día.
32 But they understood not the saying, and feared to ask him.
32 Pero ellos no entendían [esta] palabra, y tenían miedo de preguntarle.
33 And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he asked them, Of what were ye reasoning by the way?
33 Y llegó á Capernaum; y así que estuvo en casa, les preguntó: ¿Qué disputabais entre vosotros en el camino?
34 And they remained silent, for by the way they had been reasoning with one another who [was] greatest.
34 Mas ellos callaron; porque los unos con los otros habían disputado en el camino quién [había de ser] el mayor.
35 And sitting down he called the twelve; and he says to them, If any one would be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.
35 Entonces sentándose, llamó á los doce, y les dice: Si alguno quiere ser el primero, será el postrero de todos, y el servidor de todos.
36 And taking a little child he set it in their midst, and having taken it in his arms he said to them,
36 Y tomando un niño, púsolo en medio de ellos; y tomándole en sus brazos, les dice:
37 Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.
37 El que recibiere en mi nombre uno de los tales niños, á mí recibe; y el que á mí recibe, no recibe á mí, mas al que me envió.
38 And John answered him saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, who does not follow us, and we forbad him, because he does not follow us.
38 Y respondióle Juan, diciendo: Maestro, hemos visto á uno que en tu nombre echaba fuera los demonios, el cual no nos sigue; y se lo prohibimos, porque no nos sigue.
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able soon [after] to speak ill of me;
39 Y Jesús dijo: No se lo prohibáis; porque ninguno hay que haga milagro en mi nombre que luego pueda decir mal de mí.
40 for he who is not against us is for us.
40 Porque el que no es contra nosotros, por nosotros es.
41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in [my] name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
41 Y cualquiera que os diere un vaso de agua en mi nombre, porque sois de Cristo, de cierto os digo que no perderá su recompensa.
42 And whosoever shall be a snare to one of the little ones who believe [in me], it were better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he cast into the sea.
42 Y cualquiera que escandalizare á uno de estos pequeñitos que creen en mí, mejor le fuera si se le atase una piedra de molino al cuello, y fuera echado en la mar.
43 And if thy hand serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go away into hell, into the fire unquenchable;
43 Y si tu mano te escandalizare, córtala: mejor te es entrar á la vida manco, que teniendo dos manos ir á la Gehenna, al fuego que no puede ser apagado;
44 [where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].
44 Donde su gusano no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
45 And if thy foot serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire unquenchable;
45 Y si tu pie te fuere ocasión de caer, córtalo: mejor te es entrar á la vida cojo, que teniendo dos pies ser echado en la Gehenna, al fuego que no puede ser apagado;
46 [where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].
46 Donde el gusano de ellos no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
47 And if thine eye serve as a snare to thee, cast it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire,
47 Y si tu ojo te fuere ocasión de caer, sácalo: mejor te es entrar al reino de Dios con un ojo, que teniendo dos ojos ser echado á la Gehenna;
48 where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
48 Donde el gusano de ellos no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
49 Porque todos serán salados con fuego, y todo sacrificio será salado con sal.
50 Salt [is] good, but if the salt is become saltless, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
50 Buena es la sal; mas si la sal fuere desabrida, ¿con qué la adobaréis? Tened en vosotros mismos sal; y tened paz los unos con los otros.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… "The righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father;" but He shall send the unrighteous, and those who do not the works of righteousness, "into everlasting fire, where their worm shall not die, and the fire shall not be quenched."
… fire is not quenched." So, too, of the eye: "It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." He did not shrink from using the same words three times over in one passage.

For here He signified one actually against them, but there He points to one who in part is on their side: "For they cast out devils," it is said "in Thy name." But to me He seems here to be hinting also at the Jews, setting them on the devil's side.

… note how, whenever He instructs us about His Father, He is in the habit of using terms of personal authority, saying, "I will; be thou clean;" and "Peace, be still;" and "But I say unto you;" and "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee;" and all other expressions of the same kind, in order that by these we may …
