Mark 9

Gen Z: Mark 9

1Jesus was like, "No cap, some of y’all here won’t even taste death before you see the kingdom of God pop off with mad power."

2After six days, Jesus rolled with Peter, James, and John, and took them up this lit mountain, just them vibin’ together; then he was transfigured right in front of them.

3His drip was shining, whiter than snow; no one on Earth could get it that fresh.

4Then they saw Elijah and Moses chilling with Jesus, having a deep convo.

5Peter was like, "Yo, this is dope! Let’s set up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

6He didn’t know what to say, ‘cause they were all shook.

7A cloud rolled in and covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him."

8Then, outta nowhere, they looked around and it was just Jesus, no one else.

9As they came down the mountain, Jesus was like, "Keep it on the low; don’t tell anyone what you saw until the Son of Man rises from the dead."

10They kept that on the DL, wondering what the whole rising from the dead thing was about.

11They were like, "Why do the scribes say Elias gotta show up first?"

12He was like, "For real, Elias is coming to fix everything; but it’s written that the Son of Man gotta go through some rough stuff."

13But I’m telling you, Elias already came, and they did whatever they wanted to him, just like it was written.

14When he got to his crew, he saw a whole crowd vibing around them, and the scribes were throwing questions at them.

15Everyone was shook when they saw him, and they ran up to him like, "What’s good?"

16He asked the scribes, "What’s the tea with them?"

17One person from the crowd said, "Yo, Master, I brought my son, he’s got a spirit that’s totally mute."

18Wherever the spirit takes him, he’s wildin’ out: foaming, grinding his teeth, and just acting all sus. I told your disciples to kick it out, but they couldn’t.

19He replied, "O faithless squad, how long I gotta be with you? How long I gotta deal with this? Bring him to me."

20So they brought him over, and when he saw the kid, the spirit freaked out and threw him down; he hit the ground, foaming everywhere.

21He asked his dad, "How long has this been a thing?" And his dad was like, "Since he was a kid, no cap."

22A lot of times it threw him into the fire and water to mess him up, but if you can do anything, show us some compassion and help us, fr.

23Jesus told him, "If you can believe, anything's possible for the ones who got faith."

24Right away, the dad of the kid shouted out with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my lack of faith, periodt."

25When Jesus saw the crowd running over, he called out the unclean spirit, saying, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I'm telling you to come out of him and never come back."

26The spirit screamed, threw him around, and came out; he looked dead, so many were like, "He’s gone."

27But Jesus grabbed his hand and lifted him up; he got back up, no doubt.

28When they got inside the house, the disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we kick it out?"

29He said to them, "This kind only comes out by prayer and fasting, for real."

30Then they bounced from there and passed through Galilee, and he didn’t want anyone to know, no cap.

31He was teaching the squad, saying, "The Son of Man's gonna get handed over to some peeps, they’re gonna take him out; but don’t trip, he’ll bounce back on day three."

32But they were like, "What?" and didn’t wanna ask him for the tea.

33When he rolled up to Capernaum, he was chilling at the crib and asked them, "Yo, what were y’all arguing about on the way?"

34But they went quiet 'cause they were debating who was the GOAT among them.

35So he sat down, called the twelve, and said, "If you wanna be first, you gotta be last and serve everyone, no cap."

36He scooped up a kid and brought him in front of them, saying,

37"Whoever vibes with one of these kids in my name, vibes with me; and whoever vibes with me, vibes not just with me but with the one who sent me."

38John was like, "Yo, Rabbi, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, but he’s not rolling with us, so we told him to chill."

39But Jesus was like, "Don’t stop him; no one who does miracles in my name is gonna talk smack about me."

40"Whoever isn’t against us is totally on our team."

41If anyone hooks you up with a cup of water in my name 'cause you're with Christ, no cap, they’re getting rewarded for that.

42But if you mess with one of these little believers, that's sus. Better to have a millstone around your neck and be tossed in the sea, fr.

43If your hand's causing you trouble, just chop it off. Better to roll into life missing a hand than to have two hands and end up in the fire that never goes out, periodt.

44Where the worm never dies, and the fire just keeps raging.

45If your foot's trippin' you up, cut it off. Better to hobble into life than to have two feet and get sent to the fire that never goes out, no cap.

46Where the worm never dies, and the fire just keeps raging.

47If your eye's giving you issues, pluck it out. Better to vibe with one eye in God's kingdom than to have two eyes and end up in the fire, fr.

48Where the worm never dies, and the fire just keeps raging.

49Everyone’s gonna be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice gets that salt treatment, bet.

50Salt’s lit, but if it loses its flavor, how you gonna spice things up? Keep that salt in you and vibe with each other, periodt.

KJV: Mark 9

1And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

2And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

3And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.

4And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

5And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

6For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

7And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

8And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

9And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.

10And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

11And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?

12And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

13But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

14And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

15And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

16And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

17And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

18And 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.

19He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

20And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

21And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

22And 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.

23Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

24And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

25When 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.

26And 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.

27But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

28And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

29And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

30And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.

31For 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.

32But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

33And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

34But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

35And 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.

36And 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,

37Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

38And 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.

39But 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.

40For he that is not against us is on our part.

41For 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.

42And 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.

43And 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:

44Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

45And 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:

46Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

47And 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:

48Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

49For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

50Salt 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.
