Mark 9 moves from the mountaintop to the valley and then to the road. Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain, where he is transfigured, Moses and Elijah appear, and a voice from the cloud says, "This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!" Coming down, they find the other disciples unable to heal a boy with a violent spirit; the boy's father cries, "I do believe; help my unbelief!" and Jesus heals him. Then Jesus predicts his death a second time, catches the disciples arguing about who is greatest, sets a child among them, tells John not to stop an outsider driving out demons, and warns in the starkest terms against causing a little one to stumble, ending with salt and peace.

Mark 9 begins as high as the Gospel gets and comes down fast. Jesus takes three disciples up a mountain, and in front of them his clothes turn a white no launderer could produce, Moses and Elijah stand talking with him, and a voice from a cloud tells the disciples the one thing they most need to hear: this is my Son, listen to him. Peter, terrified, wants to build shelters and stay. They do not stay. At the bottom of the mountain there is a crowd, an argument, and a boy who has been thrown into fire and water by a spirit since he was small, and the disciples have failed to help him. His father's prayer is the most honest in the Bible, I believe, help my unbelief, and it is enough. Jesus lifts the boy by the hand, and later tells the disciples that this kind comes out only by prayer, which is to say, they had tried it on their own. The rest of the chapter is a walk through Galilee in which Jesus tells them again that he will be killed and rise, and they are too afraid to ask what he means, so they argue instead about which of them is the greatest. He answers with a child in his arms. Then John complains about an outsider driving out demons in Jesus' name, and Jesus refuses to stop him: whoever is not against us is for us. The chapter ends with some of the hardest words Jesus ever spoke, millstones and cut-off hands and unquenched fire, all aimed at one thing, taking sin and the harm done to the little ones as seriously as God does. And then, gently, salt, and peace with one another.

Mark 9:2-8 Mark 9:14-29 Mark 9:30-37 Mark 9:42-50 Malachi 4:5-6 Matthew 17:1-13

Historical and literary context

The high mountain is traditionally Tabor and more probably Hermon, near Caesarea Philippi where the previous chapter ends. Moses and Elijah, the lawgiver and the prophet, both met God on Sinai, and Malachi had promised Elijah's return before the day of the LORD, which is behind the disciples' question; Jesus identifies that Elijah with John the Baptist. Peter's offer of shelters recalls the Feast of Tabernacles. "Hell" in verses 43 to 48 translates Gehenna, the Valley of Hinnom south of Jerusalem, associated with child sacrifice and with Jeremiah's prophecies of judgment. Verses 44 and 46, which repeat verse 48, are absent from the earliest manuscripts, which is why most modern Bibles skip those numbers.

How the chapter unfolds

Verse 1 promises that some will see the kingdom come with power. Verses 2 to 8 are the transfiguration, and verses 9 to 13 the descent, with the command to silence and the discussion of Elijah. Verses 14 to 29 are the healing of the boy with the spirit, framed by the disciples' failure and their question about it. Verses 30 to 32 are the second passion prediction and the disciples' fear. Verses 33 to 37 concern greatness and the child. Verses 38 to 41 concern the outsider exorcist and the cup of water. Verses 42 to 50 are the sayings on stumbling blocks, cutting off hand, foot, and eye, and salt.

Why this chapter matters

"I do believe; help my unbelief!" in verse 24 is one of the most loved prayers in the Bible, the honest words of a father who has run out of options, and Jesus honors it. The transfiguration became a feast in both East and West and is the Gospel's clearest preview of the resurrection glory, placed deliberately between two predictions of the cross. "Whoever is not against us is for us" has governed Christian attitudes to those outside the group. The child in the midst, and the millstone for anyone who harms a little one, have shaped the church's teaching on the protection of children. The commands to cut off hand and foot are the Bible's strongest statement that sin is worth any cost to be rid of.

Interpretive tension to watch

Verse 1, that some standing there will not die before seeing the kingdom come with power, has been read as fulfilled six days later on the mountain, at the resurrection, at Pentecost, or at the fall of Jerusalem, and readers disagree. Verse 40, "whoever is not against us is for us," must be held beside Matthew 12:30, "whoever is not with Me is against Me"; the contexts differ, one about outsiders doing good, the other about insiders refusing to decide. The amputation sayings are hyperbole, but hyperbole that means what it says about seriousness. And "everyone will be salted with fire" in verse 49 is among the most obscure sentences in the Gospels.

这一章的思考问题

  • Peter wanted to stay on the mountain; Jesus led them straight down to a suffering boy. What does the order of those two scenes say about glory and service?
  • The father says "I do believe; help my unbelief." Is that a confession of faith or of doubt, and does Jesus treat it as either?
  • The disciples tried to stop a man doing good in Jesus' name because he was not one of them. Where does that instinct show up today?

1 And he sayde vnto them: Verely I saye vnto you: There be some of the that stonde here which shall not taste of deeth tyll they have sene the kyngdome of God come with power. 2 And after .vi. dayes Iesus toke Peter Iames and Iohn and leede them vp into an hye mountayne out of the waye alone and he was transfigured before them. 3 And his rayment dyd shyne and was made very whyte even as snowe: so whyte as noo fuller can make apon the erth. 4 And ther apered vnto them Helyas with Moses: and they talked with Iesu. 5 And Peter answered and sayde to Iesu: Master here is good beinge for vs let vs make .iii. tabernacles one for the one for Moses and one for Helyas. 6 And yet he wist not what he sayde: for they were afrayde. 7 And ther was a cloude that shaddowed the. And a voyce came out of the cloude sayinge: This is my dere sonne here him. 8 And sodenly they loked rounde aboute them and sawe no man more then Iesus only with them. 9 And as they came doune from the hyll he charged the that they shuld tell no man what they had sene tyll the sonne of man were rysen from deeth agayne. 10 And they kepte that sayinge with them and demaunded one of a nother what that rysinge from deeth agayne shuld meane? 11 And they axed him sayinge: why then saye the scribe that Helyas muste fyrste come? 12 He answered and sayde vnto them: Helyas verelye shall fyrst come and restore all thinges. And also the sonne of man as it is wrytte shall suffre many thinges and shall be set at nought. 13 Moreouer I saye vnto you that Helyas is come and they have done vnto him whatsoever pleased them as it is wrytten of him. 14 And he came to his disciples and sawe moche people aboute them and the scribes disputinge with them. 15 And streyght waye all the people when they behelde him were amased and ran to him and saluted him. 16 And he sayde vnto the Scribes: what dispute ye with them? 17 And one of the companye answered and sayde: Master I have brought my sonne vnto the which hath a dome spirite. 18 And whensoever he taketh him he teareth him and he fometh and gnassheth with his tethe and pyneth awaye. And I spake to thy disciples that they shuld caste him out and they coulde not. 19 He answered him and sayd: O generacion with out faith how longe shall I be with you? How longe shall I suffre you? Bringe him vnto me. 20 And they brought him vnto him. And assone as the sprete sawe him he tare him. And he fell doune on the grounde walowinge and fomynge. 21 And he axed his father: how longe is it a goo sens this hath happened him? And he sayde of a chylde: 22 and ofte tymes casteth him into the fyre and also into the water to destroye him. But yf thou canste do eny thinge have mercy on vs and helpe vs. 23 And Iesus sayde vnto him: ye yf thou couldest beleve all thinges are possible to him that belevith. 24 And streygth waye the father of the chylde cryed with teares sayinge: Lorde I beleve helpe myne vnbelefe. 25 When Iesus sawe that the people came runnynge togedder vnto him he rebuked the foule sprete sayinge vnto him: Thou domme and deffe sprete I charge the come out of him and entre no more into him. 26 And the sprete cryed and rent him sore and came out: And he was as one that had bene deed in so moche that many sayde he is deed. 27 But Iesus caught his honde and lyfte him vp: and he roose. 28 And when he was come into the housse his disciples axed him secretly: why coulde not we caste him out? 29 And he sayde vnto them: this kynde can by no nother meanes come forth but by prayer and fastynge. 30 And they departed thens and toke their iorney thorow Galile and he wolde not that eny man shuld have knowen it. 31 For he taught his disciples and sayde vnto them: The sonne of man shalbe delyvered into the hondes of men and they shall kyll him and after that he is kylled he shall aryse agayne the thryd daye. 32 But they wiste not what that sayinge meat and were affrayed to axe him. 33 And he came to Capernaum. And when he was come to housse he axed the: what was it that ye disputed bytwene you by the waye? 34 And they helde their peace: for by the waye they reasoned amonge the selves who shuld be the chefest. 35 And he sate doune and called the twelve vnto him and sayd to them: yf eny man desyre to be fyrst the same shalbe last of all and servaunt vnto all. 36 And he toke a chylde and set him in the middes of them and toke him in his armes and sayde vnto them. 37 Whosoever receave eny soche a chylde in my name receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me receaveth not me but him that sent me. 38 Iohn answered him sayinge: Master we sawe one castynge out devyls in thy name which foloweth not vs and we forbade him because he foloweth vs not. 39 But Iesus sayde forbid him not. For ther is no man that shall do a miracle in my name that can lightlyge speake evyll of me. 40 Whosoever is not agaynste you is on youre parte. 41 And whosoever shall geve you a cuppe of water to drinke for my names sake because ye belonge to Christe verely I saye vnto you he shall not loose his rewarde. 42 And whosoever shall offende one of these lytelons that beleve in me it were better for him that a mylstone were hanged aboute his necke and that he he were cast into the see: 43 wherfore yf thy hande offende the cut him of. It is better for the to entre into lyffe maymed then havynge two hondes goo into hell into fire that never shalbe quenched 44 where there worme dyeth not and the fyre never goeth oute. 45 Lykewyse yf thy fote offende the cut him of. For it is better for the to goo halt into lyfe then havynge two fete to be cast into hell into fyre that never shalbe quenched: 46 where there worme dyeth not and the fyre never goeth oute. 47 Even so yf thyne eye offende the plucke him oute. It is better for the to goo into the kyngdom of god with one eye then havynge two eyes to be caste into hell fyre: 48 where there worme dyeth not and the fyre never goeth oute. 49 Every man therfore shalbe salted with fyre: And every sacrifise shalbe seasoned with salt. 50 Salt is good. But yf the salt be vnsavery: what shall the salte therwith? Se that ye have salt in youre selves: and have peace amonge youre selves one with another.
