Mark 9 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of you who are standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with 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 Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John with him up a high mountain, alone by themselves. Then 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 His garments became radiantly brilliant, extremely white, whiter than any bleacher on earth could bleach 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 Then Elijah with Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
4 Y les apareció Elías con Moisés, que hablaban con Jesús.
5 Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here, and so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
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 did not know what to say, for they were terrified.)
6 Porque no sabía lo que hablaba; que estaban espantados.
7 A cloud came and overshadowed them. Then a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to 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 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them, but only Jesus.
8 Y luego, como miraron, no vieron más á nadie consigo, sino á Jesús solo.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, he commanded them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from 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 So they kept the matter to themselves, but they discussed among themselves what “rising from the dead” could mean.
10 Y retuvieron la palabra en sí, altercando qué sería aquéllo: Resucitar de los muertos.
11 They asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Y le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Qué es lo que los escribas dicen, que es necesario que Elías venga antes?
12 He said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be despised?
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 to you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they wanted to him, just as scripture says about him.”
13 Empero os digo que Elías [ya] vino, y le hicieron todo lo que quisieron, como está escrito de él.
14 When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes were arguing with them.
14 Y como vino á los discípulos, vió grande compañía alrededor de ellos, y escribas que disputaban con ellos.
15 As soon as they saw Jesus, the whole crowd was amazed and as they ran up to him they greeted him.
15 Y luego toda la gente, viéndole, se espantó, y corriendo á él, le saludaron.
16 He asked his disciples, “What are you arguing with them about?”
16 Y preguntóles: ¿Qué disputáis con ellos?
17 Someone in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
17 Y respondiendo uno de la compañía, dijo: Maestro, traje á ti mi hijo, que tiene un espíritu mudo,
18 It seizes him and it throws him down and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and he becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out of him, but 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 He answered them, “Unbelieving generation, how long will I have to stay with you? How long will 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 They brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw him into a convulsion. The boy fell on the ground and foamed at the mouth.
20 Y se le trajeron: y como le vió, luego el espíritu le desgarraba; y cayendo en tierra, se revolcaba, echando espumarajos.
21 Jesus asked his father, “How long has he been like this?” The father said, “Since childhood.
21 Y [Jesús] preguntó á su padre: ¿Cuánto tiempo há que le aconteció esto? Y él dijo: Desde niño:
22 It has often thrown him into the fire or into the waters and tried to destroy him. If you are able to do anything, have 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 Jesus said to him, “'If you are able'? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
23 Y Jesús le dijo: Si puedes creer, al que cree todo es posible.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
24 Y luego el padre del muchacho dijo clamando: Creo, ayuda mi incredulidad.
25 When Jesus saw the crowd running to them, he rebuked the unclean spirit and said, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter into him again.”
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 It cried out and convulsed the boy greatly and then came out. The boy looked like one who was dead, so that many 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 took him by the hand and lifted him up, and the boy stood up.
27 Mas Jesús tomándole de la mano, enderezóle; y se levantó.
28 When Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
28 Y como él entró en casa, sus discípulos le preguntaron aparte: ¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos echarle fuera?
29 He said to them, “This kind cannot be cast out except by prayer.”
29 Y les dijo: Este género con nada puede salir, sino con oración y ayuno.
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know where they were,
30 Y habiendo salido de allí, caminaron por Galilea; y no quería que nadie lo supiese.
31 for he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put him to death. When he has been put to death, after three days he will 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 did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
32 Pero ellos no entendían [esta] palabra, y tenían miedo de preguntarle.
33 Then they came to Capernaum. After he entered the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
33 Y llegó á Capernaum; y así que estuvo en casa, les preguntó: ¿Qué disputabais entre vosotros en el camino?
34 But they were silent. For they had been arguing with one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
34 Mas ellos callaron; porque los unos con los otros habían disputado en el camino quién [había de ser] el mayor.
35 Sitting down, he called the twelve together and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant 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 He took a little child and placed him in their midst. He took him in his arms and said to them,
36 Y tomando un niño, púsolo en medio de ellos; y tomándole en sus brazos, les dice:
37 “Whoever receives such a child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me but the one 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 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we stopped 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, “Do not stop him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and can soon afterwards say anything bad about 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 Whoever is not against us is for us.
40 Porque el que no es contra nosotros, por nosotros es.
41 Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, truly I say to you, he will not 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 Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be thrown 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 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands and to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.
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 Not in this translation
44 Donde su gusano no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have your two feet and be thrown into hell.
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 Not in this translation
46 Donde el gusano de ellos no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
47 If your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell,
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 does not die, and the fire is not put out.
48 Donde el gusano de ellos no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
49 For everyone will be salted with fire.
49 Porque todos serán salados con fuego, y todo sacrificio será salado con sal.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among 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 …
