|And 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.

|Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, there are some of you standing here who will live to see the kingdom of God come with power."

|Jesus refers here to the founding of the Church, which truly begins with the events of Acts 2:1-4.

|And 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.

|Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up into a high mountain, and was transfigured before them.

|Or literally, "metamorphized."

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

|His clothing became dazzling white, whiter than snow, whiter than any launderer on earth could make them.

|This is about perfection beyond what mere humanity can achieve.

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

|And they saw [[Elijah]] and [[Moses]] talking with Jesus.

|And they saw [[Elijah]] and [[Moses]], and they spoke with Jesus. your previous translation could be taken as the disciples spoke with Jesus, the KJV version |suggests that Elijah and Moses spoke with Jesus.

|And 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.

|Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents for the blessed, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

|Where is the phrase "for the blessed" coming from in this verse?

|-

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

|For he did not know what he was saying, so nervous were they.

|They were afraid, but not as one is afraid of a fire or an animal, but as anyone is afraid of something larger than himself. In addition, Peter was speaking without thinking, as usual.

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

|Now a cloud came and cast a shadow all around, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him!"

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

|Then suddenly, when they looked around them, they could not see a single person, except Jesus and themselves.

|And 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.

|As they came down the mountain, He ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until He, the [[Son of Man]], had risen from the grave.

|"asked" replaced by "ordered", because διαστέλλω is stronger than merely asking. The [[NASB]] rendition of "gave them orders" is too formal today.

|-

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

|Indeed, they kept his secret, but asked each other what such a resurrection would entail.

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

|Then they asked Jesus, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah will come first?"

|

|And 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.

|He responded, "It is true that Elijah must come first to restore everything. Likewise, it is written that the Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be regarded as worthless."

|Mere "despising" doesn't express the Greek roots of this word, which include the word for "nothing" or "nobody."

|-

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

|"But Elijah has already come, and the elite did to him whatever they wanted, as was prophesied."

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

|Returning to His students, he found an enormous crowd gathered around them, with the scribes interrogating them.

|

|-

+

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

|Immediately the whole crowd, seeing Jesus, ran to greet Him, amazed by His presence.

|Elizabethan English used "salute" even to mean "greet" as one civilian to another.

|-

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

|Jesus demanded of the scribes, "What are you asking the people about?"

|

|-

−

|17

+

|17

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

|But a man from the crowd ran forward and said, "Lord, I've brought you my son, who has a demon of dumbness."

|Even the KJV had some gender-neutral verbiage

|-

|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.

|"And wherever the demon takes him, he claws at himself, foams from the mouth, grinds his teeth, and his body wastes away. I asked Your students to exorcise him, but they couldn't."

|

|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.

|Jesus responded, "You faithless generation, how long can I be with you? How long will I put up with you? Bring your son to Me."

|

|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.

|They brought him. The demon, seeing Jesus, immediately threw the boy to the ground, where he flailed about, and foamed.

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

|Jesus asked the father, "How long has this afflicted him?" "Since he was a child", the man replied.

|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.

|"Sometimes the demon throws him into the fire, other times into water in order to kill him. If it is true that you can do anything, please have compassion on us and help."

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

|Jesus observed, "If you can believe; anything is possible to the believer."

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

|The father cried out, tears filling his eyes, "I believe, Lord. Help my lack of faith!"

|The word used is '''απιστια''' (''apistia''), which specifically means "not believing."

|-

|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.

|When Jesus saw the crowd of people running together, He scolded the evil spirit, telling him, "You deaf and mute spirit, I order you to leave him alone, and never to bother him again".

|

|-

−

|26

+

|26

|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.

|The spirit cried out and exited him violently. The boy looked so much like he was dead, that bystanders declared, "He's dead!"

|

|-

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

|But Jesus took his hand and pulled him up, and he stood up.

|

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

|When Jesus went indoors, His students privately asked him, "Why couldn't we cast him out?"

|

|-

|29

+

|29

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

|He told them, "That kind of spirit can only be driven out by prayer."

|Some, but not all, manuscripts add "and fasting."

|-

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

|They moved on, passing through Galilee; Jesus kept a low profile.

|

|-

−

|31

+

|31

|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.

|He taught His students, saying, "The Son of man shall be betrayed to men who shall murder him, but afterward he shall rise on the third day."

|

|-

−

|32

+

|32

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

|The students did not understand this, and were afraid to ask Jesus.

|

|-

−

|33

+

|33

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

|They arrived in Capernaum, where as soon as they had gone into a house Jesus asked His students, "What were you arguing about on the highway?"

|

|-

−

|34

+

|34

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

|But they were too ashamed to answer because they had been debating who was the greatest among them.

|

|-

|35

+

|35

|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.

|Jesus sat down and summoned the Twelve, saying, "If anyone wants the highest rank, then he must first become the lowest of all, waiting on all."

|The word used is '''διακονος''', meaning one who waits on tables. This prefigures the appointment of the first [[deacon]]s.

|-

−

|36

+

|36

|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,

|Jesus then invited a child to join them, and after taking him in His arms, Jesus declared,

|The Greek '''παιδιον''' is neutral, not masculine or feminine. This might explain why the [[NAB]] uses the pronoun "it" instead of "him" here.

|-

−

|37

+

|37

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

|"Whoever welcomes such a child in My Name, welcomes Me; and whoever welcomes Me, doesn't so much welcome Me but Him Who sent Me."

|

|-

|38

+

|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.

|John replied: "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in Your Name, who was not one of our group. We told him to stop doing it, because he wasn't one of us.

|

|-

−

|39

+

|39

|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.

|But Jesus replied: "Do not forbid him! You see, no man who has carried out a powerful work in My Name can easily turn round and attack Me.

|

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

|Because he who is not our enemy is our ally.

|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.

|Anyone who gives you a drink of water in My Name, because you follow Christ, will not lose his reward in heaven.

|In other words, whether someone does any sort of work, "powerful" or "common," makes no difference.

|-

−

|42

+

|42

|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.

|Anyone who corrupts or deceives a child who believes in me will wish he had had a millstone hung around his neck and had been cast into the sea.

|The Greek word '''σκανδαλιζω''' means "I cause to reject someone," not merely "offend" as is used today.

|-

−

|43

+

|43

|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:

|If your hand corrupts you, cut if off. Entering eternal life maimed is better than descending to Hell with both hands intact, where the fire burns forever.

|

|-

|44

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

|There, the condemned soul does not die, but burns forever.

|The provenance of verse 44 is in dispute.

|-

−

|45

+

|45

|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:

|If your foot corrupts you, cut it off. It's better to limp into eternal life than walk steadily into Hell, into that unending fire.

|

|-

−

|46

+

|46

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

|There, the condemned soul does not die, but burns forever.

|The provenance of this verse, like verse 44, is in dispute.

|-

−

|47

+

|47

|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:

|If your eye deceives you, remove it. Entering God's kingdom half-blinded is better than entering Hell's fires with sight intact.

|

|-

−

|48

+

|48

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

|There, the condemned soul is always eaten by worms, and burns forever.

|The Greek '''σκωληξ''' (''scolex'') clearly means "worm." In fact, that term survives today as the head segment of a tapeworm.

|-

−

|49

+

|49

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

|Everyone will be salted by fire[, as every sacrifice will be salted with salt].

|The provenance of the bracketed portion is in dispute.

|-

|50

+

|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.

|Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how will you season the sacrifice? Have salt in yourselves, and have the divine tranquility of mind.
