1 A nd Jesus was saying to them, “ Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

And he said to them, `Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'

2 S ix days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them;

and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.

9 A s they were coming down from the mountain, He gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until the Son of Man rose from the dead.

And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;

10 T hey seized upon that statement, discussing with one another what rising from the dead meant.

and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.

11 T hey asked Him, saying, “ Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.

12 A nd He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

And he answering said to them, `Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?

13 B ut I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.” All Things Possible

But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.'

14 W hen they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.

And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them,

15 I mmediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him.

and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.

And he questioned the scribes, `What dispute ye with them?'

17 A nd one of the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute;

and one out of the multitude answering said, `Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;

18 a nd whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens out. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it.”

and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'

19 A nd He answered them and said, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!”

And he answering him, said, `O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'

20 T hey brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing -- foaming.

21 A nd He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.

22 I t has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!”

and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'

23 A nd Jesus said to him, “‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”

And Jesus said to him, `If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'

24 I mmediately the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.”

and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, `I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.'

25 W hen Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.”

Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, `Spirit -- dumb and deaf -- I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;'

26 A fter crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, “He is dead!”

32 B ut they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.

33 T hey came to Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He began to question them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

39 B ut Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.
