Chapter 9 of Mark—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.
  2. ¶ And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and [a]James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them;
  3. and his garments became glistering, exceeding white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten them.
  4. And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
  5. And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three [b]tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
  6. For he knew not what to answer; for they became sore afraid.
  7. And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear ye him.
  8. And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
  9. ¶ And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead.
  10. And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean.
  11. And they asked him, saying, [c]How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?
  12. And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought?
  13. But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him.
  14. ¶ And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them.
  15. And straightway all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
  16. And he asked them, What question ye with them?
  17. And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit;
  18. and wheresoever it taketh him, it [d]1dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able.
  19. And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me.
  20. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit [e]2tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
  21. And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child.
  22. And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.
  23. And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth.
  24. Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, [f]I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
  25. And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
  26. And having cried out, and [g]3torn him much, he came out: and the boy became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead.
  27. But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.
  28. And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, [h]How is it that we could not cast it out?
  29. And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer[i].
  30. ¶ And they went forth from thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
  31. For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is 4delivered up into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he shall rise again.
  32. But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
  33. ¶ And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were ye reasoning on the way?
  34. But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the [j]greatest.
  35. And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and [k]servant of all.
  36. And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,
  37. Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
  38. John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us.
  39. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a [l]mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
  40. For he that is not against us is for us.
  41. For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink, [m]because ye are Christ’s, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
  42. And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe [n]on me to stumble, it were better for him if [o]a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
  43. And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into [p]hell, into the unquenchable fire.
  44. [q]
  45. And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into [r]hell.
  46. [s]
  47. And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into [t]hell;
  48. where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
  49. For every one shall be salted with fire[u]5.
  50. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
