Polyglot Bible: Mark: Mark 9

This is Mark chapter 9 (verses 1–50) of the Christian New Testament, presented in parallel Greek and English (King James Version) columns. The passage narrates a sequence of episodes: Jesus's prediction that some disciples will witness God's kingdom arriving in power; the Transfiguration on a high mountain, where Peter, James, and John see Jesus transformed in dazzling white alongside Moses and Elijah; the descent from the mountain with a discussion about Elijah's role; the exorcism of a boy with a "dumb spirit" that the disciples had failed to cast out; Jesus's second passion prediction (his betrayal, death, and resurrection); and a cluster of teachings in Capernaum on servant leadership, using children as models of welcome, tolerance toward outside exorcists ("whoever is not against us is for us"), radical self-amputation to avoid sin, and the imagery of salt and peace. The Greek column uses the standard critical edition (GNT) while the English column is the KJV with embedded Strong's concordance numbers — a format aimed at interlinear Bible study. No distinctive argument or scholarly interpretation is offered; the text is primary source scripture with lexical reference aids rather than commentary or analysis.
