Mark 9:4-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

4. Elijah and Moses appeared in front of Jesus and his disciples. The two of them were talking with Jesus.

5. Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters. One will be for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

6. Peter didn't really know what to say, because they were so afraid.

7. Then a cloud appeared and surrounded them. A voice came from the cloud. It said, "This is my Son, and I love him. Listen to him!"

8. They looked around. Suddenly they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

9. They came down the mountain. On the way down, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen. He told them to wait until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

43-44. "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It would be better for you to enter God's kingdom with only one hand than to go into hell with two hands. In hell the fire never goes out.

45-46. "If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It would be better for you to enter God's kingdom with only one foot than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.
