Mark 9:5-27

⁵And Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

⁶Because he was not certain what to say, for they were in great fear.

⁷And a cloud came over them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, give ear to him.

⁸And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any longer, but Jesus only with themselves.

⁹And while they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to give word to any man of the things they had seen, till the Son of man had come back from the dead.

¹⁰And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the coming back from the dead might be.

¹¹And they put a question to him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

¹²And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

¹³But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say about him.

¹⁴And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great mass of people about them, and scribes questioning them.

¹⁵And straight away all the people, when they saw him, were full of wonder, and running to him, gave him worship.

¹⁶And he said, What are you questioning them about?

¹⁷And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;

¹⁸And wherever it takes him, it puts him down violently, streaming at the lips and twisted with pain; and his strength goes from him; and I made a request to your disciples to send it out, and they were not able.

¹⁹And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.

²⁰And they took him to him: and when he saw him, the spirit in him straight away became violent; and he went down on the earth, rolling about and streaming at the lips.

²¹And Jesus questioning the father said, How long has he been like this? And he said, From a child.

²²And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water, for his destruction; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us, and give us help.

²³And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.

²⁴Straight away the father of the child gave a cry, saying, I have faith; make my feeble faith stronger.

²⁵And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him.

²⁶And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

²⁷But Jesus took him by the hand, lifting him up; and he got up.
