O. The Disciples Don't Get It

↑ Mk 9 14–16 και ελθοντες προς τους μαθητας ειδον οχλον πολυν περι αυτους και γραμματεις συζητουντας προς αυτους

And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

15 και ευθυς πας ο οχλος ιδοντες αυτον εξεθαμβηθησαν και προστρεχοντες ησπαζοντο αυτον

And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

16 και επηρωτησεν αυτους τι συζητειτε προς αυτους

And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 17–18 και απεκριθη αυτω εις εκ του οχλου διδασκαλε ηνεγκα τον υιον μου προς σε εχοντα πνευμα αλαλον

And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

18 και οπου εαν αυτον καταλαβη ρησσει αυτον και αφριζει και τριζει τους οδοντας και ξηραινεται και ειπα τοις μαθηταις σου ινα αυτο εκβαλωσιν και ουκ ισχυσαν

And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 19–20 ο δε αποκριθεις αυτοις λεγει ω γενεα απιστος εως ποτε προς υμας εσομαι εως ποτε ανεξομαι υμων φερετε αυτον προς με

He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

20 και ηνεγκαν αυτον προς αυτον και ιδων αυτον το πνευμα ευθυς συνεσπαραξεν αυτον και πεσων επι της γης εκυλιετο αφριζων

And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 21–24 και επηρωτησεν τον πατερα αυτου ποσος χρονος εστιν ως τουτο γεγονεν αυτω ο δε ειπεν εκ παιδιοθεν

And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

22 και πολλακις και εις πυρ αυτον εβαλεν και εις υδατα ινα απολεση αυτον αλλ ει τι δυνη βοηθησον ημιν σπλαγχνισθεις εφ ημας

And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.

23 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτω το ει δυνη παντα δυνατα τω πιστευοντι

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

24 ευθυς κραξας ο πατηρ του παιδιου ελεγεν πιστευω βοηθει μου τη απιστια

And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 25–26 ιδων δε ο ιησους οτι επισυντρεχει οχλος επετιμησεν τω πνευματι τω ακαθαρτω λεγων αυτω το αλαλον και κωφον πνευμα εγω επιτασσω σοι εξελθε εξ αυτου και μηκετι εισελθης εις αυτον

When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

26 και κραξας και πολλα σπαραξας εξηλθεν και εγενετο ωσει νεκρος ωστε τους πολλους λεγειν οτι απεθανεν

And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 27 ο δε ιησους κρατησας της χειρος αυτου ηγειρεν αυτον και ανεστη

But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 28–29 και εισελθοντος αυτου εις οικον οι μαθηται αυτου κατ ιδιαν επηρωτων αυτον οτι ημεις ουκ ηδυνηθημεν εκβαλειν αυτο

And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

29 και ειπεν αυτοις τουτο το γενος εν ουδενι δυναται εξελθειν ει μη εν προσευχη

And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 30–32 κακειθεν εξελθοντες παρεπορευοντο δια της γαλιλαιας και ουκ ηθελεν ινα τις γνοι

And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.

31 εδιδασκεν γαρ τους μαθητας αυτου και ελεγεν αυτοις οτι ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται εις χειρας ανθρωπων και αποκτενουσιν αυτον και αποκτανθεις μετα τρεις ημερας αναστησεται

For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.

32 οι δε ηγνοουν το ρημα και εφοβουντο αυτον επερωτησαι

But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 33a και ηλθον εις καφαρναουμ ...

And he came to Capernaum: ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 33b–36 ... και εν τη οικια γενομενος επηρωτα αυτους τι εν τη οδω διελογιζεσθε

and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

34 οι δε εσιωπων προς αλληλους γαρ διελεχθησαν εν τη οδω τις μειζων

But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

35 και καθισας εφωνησεν τους δωδεκα και λεγει αυτοις ει τις θελει πρωτος ειναι εσται παντων εσχατος και παντων διακονος

And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

36 και λαβων παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν μεσω αυτων και εναγκαλισαμενος αυτο ειπεν αυτοις

And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 37a ος αν εν των τοιουτων παιδιων δεξηται επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται ...

Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 37b ... και ος αν εμε δεχηται ουκ εμε δεχεται αλλα τον αποστειλαντα με

and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 38–40 εφη αυτω ο ιωαννης διδασκαλε ειδομεν τινα εν τω ονοματι σου εκβαλλοντα δαιμονια και εκωλυομεν αυτον οτι ουκ ηκολουθει ημιν

And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

39 ο δε ιησους ειπεν μη κωλυετε αυτον ουδεις γαρ εστιν ος ποιησει δυναμιν επι τω ονοματι μου και δυνησεται ταχυ κακολογησαι με

But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

40 ος γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ ημων υπερ ημων εστιν

For he that is not against us is on our part. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 41 ος γαρ αν ποτιση υμας ποτηριον υδατος εν ονοματι οτι χριστου εστε αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη απολεση τον μισθον αυτου

For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 42 και ος αν σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων των πιστευοντων [εις εμε] καλον εστιν αυτω μαλλον ει περικειται μυλος ονικος περι τον τραχηλον αυτου και βεβληται εις την θαλασσαν

And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 43–47 και εαν σκανδαλιζη σε η χειρ σου αποκοψον αυτην καλον εστιν σε κυλλον εισελθειν εις την ζωην η τας δυο χειρας εχοντα απελθειν εις την γεενναν εις το πυρ το ασβεστον

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

45 και εαν ο πους σου σκανδαλιζη σε αποκοψον αυτον καλον εστιν σε εισελθειν εις την ζωην χωλον η τους δυο ποδας εχοντα βληθηναι εις την γεενναν

And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

47 και εαν ο οφθαλμος σου σκανδαλιζη σε εκβαλε αυτον καλον σε εστιν μονοφθαλμον εισελθειν εις την βασιλειαν του θεου η δυο οφθαλμους εχοντα βληθηναι εις την γεενναν

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 48–49 οπου ο σκωληξ αυτων ου τελευτα και το πυρ ου σβεννυται

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

49 πας γαρ πυρι αλισθησεται

For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. ↓ 

↑ Mk 9 50 καλον το αλας εαν δε το αλας αναλον γενηται εν τινι αυτο αρτυσετε εχετε εν εαυτοις αλα και ειρηνευετε εν αλληλοις

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. ↓
