Mark 9

2The transfiguration of Christ: 11he instructeth his disciples concerning the coming of Elias: 14he casteth out a dumb and deaf spirit: 30he foretelleth his own death and resurrection; 33checketh the ambition of his disciples; 38bidding them to hinder no one from working miracles in his name, and warning them to avoid offences.

1AND he said unto them, ^a*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 ^bwith power.
