1 D isse-lhes mais: Em verdade vos digo que, dos que aqui estão, alguns há que de modo nenhum provarão a morte até que vejam o reino de Deus já chegando com poder.

Jesus said to them, “For sure I tell you, some standing here will not die until they see the holy nation of God come with power!”

2 S eis dias depois tomou Jesus consigo a Pedro, a Tiago, e a João, e os levou ã parte sós, a um alto monte; e foi transfigurado diante deles;

Six days later Jesus took Peter and James and John with Him. He led them up to a high mountain by themselves. Jesus was changed as they looked at Him.

3 a s suas vestes tornaram-se resplandecentes, extremamente brancas, tais como nenhum lavandeiro sobre a terra as poderia branquear.

His clothes did shine. They were as white as snow. No one on earth could clean them so white.

4 E apareceu-lhes Elias com Moisés, e falavam com Jesus.

Moses and Elijah were seen talking to Jesus.

5 P edro, tomando a palavra, disse a Jesus: Mestre, bom é estarmos aqui; faça-mos, pois, três cabanas, uma para ti, outra para Moisés, e outra para Elias.

Peter said to Jesus, “Teacher, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents to worship in. One will be for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

6 P ois não sabia o que havia de dizer, porque ficaram atemorizados.

Peter did not know what to say. They were very much afraid.

7 N isto veio uma nuvem que os cobriu, e dela saiu uma voz que dizia: Este é o meu Filho amado; a ele ouvi.

A cloud came over them and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My much-loved Son. Listen to Him.”

8 D e repente, tendo olhado em redor, não viram mais a ninguém consigo, senão só a Jesus.

At once they looked around but saw no one there but Jesus.

9 E nquanto desciam do monte, ordenou-lhes que a ninguém contassem o que tinham visto, até que o Filho do homem ressurgisse dentre os mortos.

They came down from the mountain. Then Jesus said with strong words that they should tell no one what they had seen. They should wait until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10 E eles guardaram o caso em segredo, indagando entre si o que seria o ressurgir dentre os mortos.

So they kept those words to themselves, talking to each other about what He meant by being raised from the dead.

11 E ntão lhe perguntaram: Por que dizem os escribas que é necessário que Elias venha primeiro?

They asked Jesus, “Why do the teachers of the Law say that Elijah must come first?”

12 R espondeu-lhes Jesus: Na verdade Elias havia de vir primeiro, a restaurar todas as coisas; e como é que está escrito acerca do Filho do homem que ele deva padecer muito a ser aviltado?

He said to them, “For sure, Elijah will come first and get things ready. Is it not written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and that men will have nothing to do with Him?

13 D igo-vos, porém, que Elias já veio, e fizeram-lhe tudo quanto quiseram, como dele está escrito.

But I say to you, Elijah has already come. They did to him whatever they wanted to do. It is written that they would.” A Boy with a Demon Is Healed

14 Q uando chegaram aonde estavam os discípulos, viram ao redor deles uma grande multidão, e alguns escribas a discutirem com eles.

When Jesus came back to His followers, He saw many people standing around them. The teachers of the Law were arguing with them.

15 E logo toda a multidão, vendo a Jesus, ficou grandemente surpreendida; e correndo todos para ele, o saudavam.

The people saw Jesus and were surprised and ran to greet Him.

16 P erguntou ele aos escribas: Que é que discutis com eles?

Jesus asked the teachers of the Law, “What are you arguing about with them?”

17 R espondeu-lhe um dentre a multidão: Mestre, eu te trouxe meu filho, que tem um espírito mudo;

One of the people said, “Teacher, I brought my son to You. He has a demon in him and cannot talk.

18 e este, onde quer que o apanha, convulsiona-o, de modo que ele espuma, range os dentes, e vai definhando; e eu pedi aos teus discípulos que o expulsassem, e não puderam.

Wherever the demon takes him, it throws him down. Spit runs from his mouth. He grinds his teeth. He is getting weaker. I asked Your followers to put the demon out but they could not.”

19 A o que Jesus lhes respondeu: Ó geração incrédula! até quando estarei convosco? até quando vos hei de suportar? Trazei-mo.

He said, “You people of this day have no faith. How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”

20 E ntão lho trouxeram; e quando ele viu a Jesus, o espírito imediatamente o convulsionou; e o endemoninhado, caindo por terra, revolvia-se espumando.

They brought the boy to Jesus. The demon saw Jesus and at once held the boy in his power. The boy fell to the ground with spit running from his mouth.

21 E perguntou Jesus ao pai dele: Há quanto tempo sucede-lhe isto? Respondeu ele: Desde a infância;

Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” The father said, “From the time he was a child.

22 e muitas vezes o tem lançado no fogo, e na água, para o destruir; mas se podes fazer alguma coisa, tem compaixão de nós e ajuda-nos.

Many times it throws him into the fire and into the water to kill him. If You can do anything to help us, take pity on us!”

23 A o que lhe disse Jesus: Se podes! - tudo é possível ao que crê.

Jesus said to him, “Why do you ask Me that? The one who has faith can do all things.”

24 I mediatamente o pai do menino, clamando, disse: Creio! Ajuda a minha incredulidade.

At once the father cried out. He said with tears in his eyes, “Lord, I have faith. Help my weak faith to be stronger!”

25 E Jesus, vendo que a multidão, correndo, se aglomerava, repreendeu o espírito imundo, dizendo: Espírito mudo e surdo, eu te ordeno: Sai dele, e nunca mais entres nele.

Jesus saw that many people were gathering together in a hurry. He spoke sharp words to the demon. He said, “Demon! You who cannot speak or hear, I say to you, come out of him! Do not ever go into him again.”

26 E ele, gritando, e agitando-o muito, saiu; e ficou o menino como morto, de modo que a maior parte dizia: Morreu.

The demon gave a cry. It threw the boy down and came out of him. The boy was so much like a dead man that people said, “He is dead!”

27 M as Jesus, tomando-o pela mão, o ergueu; e ele ficou em pé.

But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him and he stood up.

28 E quando entrou em casa, seus discípulos lhe perguntaram ã parte: Por que não pudemos nós expulsá-lo?

When Jesus went into the house, His followers asked Him when He was alone, “Why could we not put out the demon?”

29 R espondeu-lhes: Esta casta não sai de modo algum, salvo ã força de oração

He said to them, “The only way this kind of demon is put out is by prayer and by going without food so you can pray better.” Jesus Tells of His Death the Second Time

30 D epois, tendo partido dali, passavam pela Galiléia, e ele não queria que ninguém o soubesse;

From there Jesus and His followers went through the country of Galilee. He did not want anyone to know where He was.

31 p orque ensinava a seus discípulos, e lhes dizia: O Filho do homem será entregue nas mãos dos homens, que o matarão; e morto ele, depois de três dias ressurgirá.

He taught His followers, saying, “The Son of Man will be handed over to men. They will kill Him. Three days after He is killed, He will be raised from the dead.”

32 M as eles não entendiam esta palavra, e temiam interrogá-lo.

They did not understand what He said and were afraid to ask Him. Jesus Teaches about the Faith of a Child

33 C hegaram a Cafarnaum. E estando ele em casa, perguntou-lhes: Que estáveis discutindo pelo caminho?

They came to the city of Capernaum and were in the house. Jesus asked His followers, “What were you arguing about along the road?”

34 M as eles se calaram, porque pelo caminho haviam discutido entre si qual deles era o maior.

They did not answer. They had been arguing along the road about who was the greatest.

35 E ele, sentando-se, chamou os doze e lhes disse: se alguém quiser ser o primeiro, será o derradeiro de todos e o servo de todos.

Jesus sat down and called the followers to Him. He said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all. He will be the one to care for all.”

36 E ntão tomou uma criança, pô-la no meio deles e, abraçando-a, disse-lhes:

Jesus took a child and stood it among them. Then He took the child up in His arms and said to the followers,

37 Q ualquer que em meu nome receber uma destas crianças, a mim me recebe; e qualquer que me recebe a mim, recebe não a mim mas

“Whoever receives one of these little children in My name, receives Me. Whoever will receive Me, receives not Me, but Him Who sent Me.” Jesus Speaks Sharp Words against the Followers

38 D isse-lhe João: Mestre, vimos um homem que em teu nome expulsava demônios, e nós lho proibimos, porque não nos seguia.

John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone putting out demons in Your name. We told him to stop because he was not following us.”

39 J esus, porém, respondeu: Não lho proibais; porque ninguém há que faça milagre em meu nome e possa logo depois falar mal de mim;

Jesus said, “Do not stop him. No one who does a powerful work in My name can say anything bad about Me soon after.

40 p ois quem não é contra nós, é por nós.

The person who is not against us is for us.

41 P orquanto qualquer que vos der a beber um copo de água em meu nome, porque sois de Cristo, em verdade vos digo que de modo algum perderá a sua recompensa.

For sure, I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name because you belong to Christ will not lose his reward from God.

42 M as qualquer que fizer tropeçar um destes pequeninos que crêem em mim, melhor lhe fora que se lhe pendurasse ao pescoço uma pedra de moinho, e que fosse lançado no mar.

Whoever is the reason for one of these little ones who believes in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large stone put around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

43 E se a tua mão te fizer tropeçar, corta-a; melhor é entrares na vida aleijado, do que, tendo duas mãos, ires para o inferno, para o fogo que nunca se apaga.

If your hand is the reason you fall into sin, cut it off. It is better to go into life without a hand, than to have two hands and go into the fire of hell that cannot be put out.

44

There is where their worm never dies and the fire cannot be put out.

45 O u, se o teu pé te fizer tropeçar, corta-o; melhor é entrares coxo na vida, do que, tendo dois pés, seres lançado no inferno.

If your foot is the reason you fall into sin, cut it off. It is better to go into life with only one foot, than to have two feet and go into the fire of hell that cannot be put out.

46

There is where their worm never dies and the fire cannot be put out.

47 O u, se o teu olho te fizer tropeçar, lança-o fora; melhor é entrares no reino de Deus com um só olho, do que, tendo dois olhos, seres lançado no inferno.

If your eye is the reason you fall into sin, take it out. It is better to go into the holy nation of God with only one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

48 o nde o seu verme não morre, e o fogo não se apaga.

There is where their worm never dies and the fire is never put out.

49 P orque cada um será salgado com fogo.

“Everyone will be made cleaner and stronger with fire.

50 B om é o sal; mas, se o sal se tornar insípido, com que o haveis de temperar? Tende sal em vós mesmos, e guardai a paz uns com os outros.

Salt is good. But if salt loses its taste, how can it be made to taste like salt again? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with each other.”
