\subsection{Mark 9}
\VS{1} And he saying to them: Truly I say to you that there are some of [those] standing 
here who will \negd{not} 
taste\footnote{the sense is not ``taste a little bit'', rather ``experience something cognitively or emotionally, come to know something''} 
of death until they see the kingdom of God be come in power. 

\subsubsection{The Transfiguration}
\VS{2} And after six days \Iesous takes Petros and \Iakobos and \Ioannes, and he leads 
them to [a] high mountain privately alone. And he was transformed before them. 
\VS{3} And his garments became shining very white, such as the bleacher on 
Earth is not able thus to whiten. 
\VS{4} And there was seen by them Elias 
with \Moses, and he was speaking together with \Iesous. 
\VS{5} And answering Petros says to \Iesous: Rabbi, it is good we are 
here, and let us make three 
shelters\footnote{or ``booths'', ``shelters'', referring to the temporary booths constructed in the celebration of the feast of Tabernacles.},
one for you and one for \Moses and one for Elias. 
\VS{6} For he had not known what he should answer. For they became terrified. 
\VS{7} And [a] cloud came to pass 
overshadowing them, and [a] voice came to pass out of the cloud; This is my 
agape-beloved son, Be hearing him. 
\VS{8} And suddenly having looked [about] they 
no longer saw anything except \Iesous alone with them. 

\VS{9} And when they 
were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that to no one what they 
saw should they recount, except when the son of man go up out of the clouds. 
\VS{10} And they laid hold of the word to them, debating what is the going 
up out of the clouds. 

\VS{11} And they asked him saying: Why do the scribes 
say the Elias must first come? 
\VS{12} But he said to them: Elias indeed 
having come first will set everything in order. And how is it written 
[about] the son of man, in order that many [things] he should suffer and should be treated with contempt? 
\VS{13} But I say to you that Elias has come, and they did 
to him how much they wanted, just as it is written [about] him.

\subsubsection{The Disciples' Failure to Heal}
\VS{14} And having come to the disciples they saw [a] great crowd around them 
and scribes debating with them. 
\VS{15} And immediately all the crowd when 
they saw him were amazed, and running up were clinging to him. 
\VS{16} And he asked them, What do you debate with them? 
\VS{17} And one out of the crowd answered him: Teacher, I brought my son to you, 
having [a] mute spirit, 
\VS{18} and whenever he overtakes him, he throws him down, and froths at the 
mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wither; and I spoke to your disciples in 
order that they cast him out, and they had not the strength. 
\VS{19} But answering he says to them: O unbelieving generation, until when will I be 
with you? Until when will I endure you? Be bringing him to me. 
\VS{20} And they brought him to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately he 
convulsed him, and having thrown [him] on the ground\fnGe{} he was rolling, frothing at the mouth. 
\VS{21} And he asked his father, How long [a] time is as this come 
to pass to him? But he said: From childhood. 
\VS{22} And often even into fire he threw him and into the waters in order 
that he should destroy him; but if you are able, help him, having had compassion upon him. 
\VS{23} But \Iesous said to him: If you are able, everything [is] possible to the [one] believing. 
\VS{24} Straightway the father of the child having cried out, with 
tears\footnote{``with tears'' D\koine{} \vulgate{}; omit: \papyrus{45}\sinaiticus{}B} was saying: I believe, Be helping my unbelief. 

\VS{25} And when \Iesous saw that [the] crowd came 
running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit saying: Mute and deaf 
spirit, I command you, come out of him and no longer may you enter into him. 
\VS{26} And having cried out and greatly convulsed, he went out, and he 
became as dead, so that many said that he died. 
\VS{27} But \Iesous having laid hold of his hand raised him, and he stood. 

\VS{28} And when he entered into the house his disciples privately asked him: 
Why were we not able to cast it out? 
\VS{29} And he said to them: This type is able to 
come out of no one except by prayer and fasting\footnote{``and fasting'' \papyrus{45} DW\koine{}\hesychian{} \vulgate{} all; omit: \sinaiticus{}B}. 

\subsubsection{Second Prediction of \Iesous' Death and Resurrection}
\VS{30} And having gone out from there they were proceeding [about] Galilee, and he 
did not want that anyone know. 
\VS{31} For he was teaching his disciples, 
and was saying to them that: The son of man will be delivered up into the 
hands of men, and they will kill him, and having been killed with three days 
he will arise. 
\VS{32} But they were ignorant of the word, and were fearing to ask him.

\subsubsection{Questions about the Greatest}
\VS{33} And they came to \Kapernaoum. And having come to pass in [a] house he 
asked them, What were you considering in the road? 
\VS{34} But they were being silent, for they had been reasoning with each other 
in the road who [is] greater. 
\VS{35} And having sat he called the twelve and says to them: 
Whoever would be first, he will be last of all and servant of all. 
\VS{36} And having taken [a] child he stood him in their midst, and taking him in his 
arms he said to them, 
\VS{37} Whoever receives one of such children in my 
name receives me; and whoever receive me, receives not me but the [one] having 
sent me. 

\subsubsection{On \Iesous's Side}
\VS{38} \Ioannes said to him: Teacher, we saw someone in your name 
casting out demons, who follows us not, and we forbid him, for he did not 
follow us. 
\VS{39} But \Iesous said: Be not forbidding him, for there is no 
one who does [a] power in my name and is able at once to speak evil of me; 
\VS{40} For whoever is not against us is for us. 
\VS{41} For whoever give you [a] cup of 
water in [my] name, because you are of the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One], truly I say to you that he will 
\negd{not} lose\fnApollumi{} his reward. 

\VS{42} And whoever should stumble one of these little [ones]believing, it is good to 
him rather to wear [a] donkey's millstone around his neck and be cast into the sea. 
\VS{43} And if your hand stumble you, cut it off; It is good [that] deformed 
you enter into zoe-life\fnZoe{} than having your two hands depart into Gehenna\fnGehenna{}, 
into the inextinguishable fire, 
\VS{44} where their worm does not die and the fire does not extinguish. 
\VS{45} And if your foot stumble you, cut it off, It is 
good [that] you enter into zoe-life\fnZoe{} crippled than having your two feet be thrown into Gehenna\fnGehenna{} into the inextinguishable fire, 
\VS{46} \footnote{include vs. 44,46: D\koine{} \vulgate{} most; omit vs. 44,46: \sinaiticus{}BW} where their worms not die and the fire does not extinguish. 
\VS{47} And if your eye stumble you, cast it out, 
for it is good [that] one-eyed you enter into the kingdom of God than having two 
eyes be thrown into Gehenna\fnGehenna{}, 
\VS{48} where their worm does not die and the fire does not extinguish. 
\VS{49} For all will be salted in\footnote{or ``by''} fire. 
\VS{50} The salt is good. But if the salt become saltless, with 
what will you season it? Be having in yourselves salt and be having peace 
with one another.
