\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 \Jacob\fnJacob{} and \John, 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 launderer 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 Humanity\fnAnthropos{} 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 Humanity\fnAnthropos{}, 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 untrusting\fnPistis{} 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] trusting. \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 trusting, Be helping my lack-of-trust. \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 Humanity\fnAnthropos{} will be delivered up into the hands of people\fnAnthropos{}, and they will kill him, and having been killed with three days he will arise. \VS{32} But they were ignorant of the word\fnRema{}, 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} \John 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 badness of me; % TODO \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.
