BSB MARK Chapter 9

MARK 9 ©

The Transfiguration

(Matthew 17:1–13, Luke 9:28–36, 2 Peter 1:16–21)

9Then [Jesus] said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

2After six days Jesus took with [Him] Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain [by] themselves [There] He was transfigured before them. 3His clothes became radiantly white, [brighter than] [any] launderer on earth could bleach them. 4And Elijah [and] Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

5Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters[fn]—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6For they were all so terrified that [Peter] did not know what else to say.

7Then a cloud appeared [and] enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!” 8Suddenly, [when] they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

9[As] they were coming down the mountain, [Jesus] admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from [the] dead. 10[So] they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from [the] dead. 11And they asked [Jesus] “{Why do} the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

12He replied “Elijah {does} indeed come first, [and] he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected? 13But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”

The Boy with an Evil Spirit

(Matthew 17:14–18, Luke 9:37–42)

14[When] they returned to the [other] disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. 15As soon as all the people saw [Jesus], they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

16“What are you disputing with them?” He asked

17Someone in the crowd replied “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit [that makes him] mute. 18Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid.[fn] I asked Your disciples to drive it out but they were unable.”

19“O unbelieving generation!” [Jesus] replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring [the boy] to Me.”

20So they brought him and seeing [Jesus], the spirit immediately threw [the boy] into a convulsion He fell to the ground [and] rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

21[Jesus] asked [the boy’s] father, “How long {has} this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said. 22It often throws him into [the] fire [or] into [the] water, trying to kill him. But if You can [do] anything, have compassion on us [and] help us.”

23“If You can?” echoed Jesus “All things are possible to him who believes!”

24Immediately the boy’s father cried out “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

25When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “[You] deaf and mute spirit,” He said “I command you to come out and never enter him {again}.”

26After shrieking and convulsing him violently, [the spirit] came out. [The boy] became like a corpse, so that many said “He is dead.” 27But Jesus took him by the hand [and] helped him to his feet and he stood up.

28After [Jesus] had gone into [the] house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out

29[Jesus] answered “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”[fn]

The Second Prediction of the Passion

(Matthew 17:22–23, Luke 9:43–45)

30Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But [Jesus] did not want anyone to know, 31because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, The Son of Man will be delivered into [the] hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.” 32But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him [about it].

The Greatest in the Kingdom

(Matthew 18:1–5, Luke 9:46–50)

33Then they came to Capernaum. While [Jesus] was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which [of them was] [the] greatest.

35Sitting down, [Jesus] called the Twelve and said “If anyone wants to be first, he must be [the] last of all and [the] servant of all.”

36Then He had a little child {stand} among them. Taking [the child] in His arms He said to them, 37“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the [One] who sent Me.”

38John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

39“{Do} not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me. 40For whoever is not against us is for us. 41Indeed, if anyone gives you [even] a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

Temptations and Trespasses

(Matthew 18:6–9, Luke 17:1–4)

42But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me {to stumble}, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

43If your hand causes you to sin cut it off It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands [and] go into hell,[fn] into the unquenchable fire.[fn] 45If your foot causes you to sin cut it off It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet [and] be thrown into hell.[fn] 47And if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes [and] be thrown into hell, 48where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’[fn]

Good Salt

(Matthew 5:13–16, Luke 14:34–35)

49For everyone will be salted with fire.[fn]

50Salt [is] good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
