Mark 9:5-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
5Peter responded and *said to Jesus, 'Rabbi, it is good that we are here; let’s make three tabernacles, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.' 6For he did not know how to reply; for they became terrified. 7Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud: 'This is My beloved Son; listen to Him!' 8And suddenly they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
9As they were coming down from the mountain, He gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until the Son of Man rose from the dead.
10They seized upon that statement, discussing with one another what rising from the dead meant.
11And they asked Him, saying, 'Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?'
12And He said to them, 'Elijah does come first and he restores all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
13But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written of him.'
14And when they came back to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.
15Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him.
16And He asked them, 'What are you disputing with them?'
17And one person from the crowd answered Him, 'Teacher, I brought You my son, because he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak;
18and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes stiff. And I told Your disciples so that they would cast it out, but they could not do it.'
19And He answered them and *said, 'O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!'
20And they brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.
21And He asked his father, 'How long has this been happening to him?' And he said, 'From childhood.
22It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to kill him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!'
23But Jesus said to him, '?‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes.'
24Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, 'I do believe; help my unbelief!'
25When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, 'You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again!'
King James Version
6For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
11And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
12And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
14And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them
17And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you how long shall I suffer you bring him unto me.
20And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him And he said, Of a child.
22And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
5Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it’s good for us to be here. Let us set up three shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"— 6because he did not know what to say, since they were terrified.
9As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10They kept this word to themselves, questioning what "rising from the dead" meant.
12"Elijah does come first and restores all things," he replied. "Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
13But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they pleased to him, just as it is written about him."
14When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes disputing with them.
15When the whole crowd saw him, they were amazed and ran to greet him.
16He asked them, "What are you arguing with them about?"
17Someone from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
18Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t."
19He replied to them, "You unbelieving generation, how long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me."
20So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
5Peter exclaimed, 'Rabbi, it’s wonderful for us to be here! Let’s make three shelters as memorials — one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.' 6He said this because he didn’t really know what else to say, for they were all terrified.
7Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, 'This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.'
8Suddenly, when they looked around, Moses and Elijah were gone, and they saw only Jesus with them.
9As they went back down the mountain, he told them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10So they kept it to themselves, but they often asked each other what he meant by 'rising from the dead.'
12Jesus responded, 'Elijah is indeed coming first to get everything ready. Yet why do the Scriptures say that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be treated with utter contempt?
13But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they chose to abuse him, just as the Scriptures predicted.'
14When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd surrounding them, and some teachers of religious law were arguing with them.
15When the crowd saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with awe, and they ran to greet him.
17One of the men in the crowd spoke up and said, 'Teacher, I brought my son so you could heal him. He is possessed by an evil spirit that won’t let him talk.
18And whenever this spirit seizes him, it throws him violently to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast out the evil spirit, but they couldn’t do it.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
5And Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." 6For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him." 8And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.
9And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean.
11And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?"
12And he said to them, "Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
13But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."
14And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
15And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him.
16And he asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
17And someone from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute.
18And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able."
19And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me."
20And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21And Jesus asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.
22And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."
23And Jesus said to him, "‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes."
24Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"
25And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again."
New International Version
Chapter 9
5Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." 6(He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)
9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what "rising from the dead" meant.
12Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected?
13But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him."
14When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them.
15As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
17A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech.
18Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not."

5Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— 6because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.
7And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!”
8Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.
9Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.
12Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
13But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”
14And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them.
15Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him.
16And He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
17Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.
18And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”
19He answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.”
20Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.
