Gen Z: Mark 9
1Jesus was like, "No cap, some of y’all here won’t even taste death before you see the kingdom of God pop off with mad power."
2After six days, Jesus rolled with Peter, James, and John, and took them up this lit mountain, just them vibin’ together; then he was transfigured right in front of them.
3His drip was shining, whiter than snow; no one on Earth could get it that fresh.
4Then they saw Elijah and Moses chilling with Jesus, having a deep convo.
5Peter was like, "Yo, this is dope! Let’s set up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6He didn’t know what to say, ‘cause they were all shook.
7A cloud rolled in and covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him."
8Then, outta nowhere, they looked around and it was just Jesus, no one else.
9As they came down the mountain, Jesus was like, "Keep it on the low; don’t tell anyone what you saw until the Son of Man rises from the dead."
10They kept that on the DL, wondering what the whole rising from the dead thing was about.
11They were like, "Why do the scribes say Elias gotta show up first?"
12He was like, "For real, Elias is coming to fix everything; but it’s written that the Son of Man gotta go through some rough stuff."
13But I’m telling you, Elias already came, and they did whatever they wanted to him, just like it was written.
14When he got to his crew, he saw a whole crowd vibing around them, and the scribes were throwing questions at them.
15Everyone was shook when they saw him, and they ran up to him like, "What’s good?"
16He asked the scribes, "What’s the tea with them?"
17One person from the crowd said, "Yo, Master, I brought my son, he’s got a spirit that’s totally mute."
18Wherever the spirit takes him, he’s wildin’ out: foaming, grinding his teeth, and just acting all sus. I told your disciples to kick it out, but they couldn’t.
19He replied, "O faithless squad, how long I gotta be with you? How long I gotta deal with this? Bring him to me."
20So they brought him over, and when he saw the kid, the spirit freaked out and threw him down; he hit the ground, foaming everywhere.
21He asked his dad, "How long has this been a thing?" And his dad was like, "Since he was a kid, no cap."
22A lot of times it threw him into the fire and water to mess him up, but if you can do anything, show us some compassion and help us, fr.
23Jesus told him, "If you can believe, anything's possible for the ones who got faith."
24Right away, the dad of the kid shouted out with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my lack of faith, periodt."
25When Jesus saw the crowd running over, he called out the unclean spirit, saying, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I'm telling you to come out of him and never come back."
26The spirit screamed, threw him around, and came out; he looked dead, so many were like, "He’s gone."
27But Jesus grabbed his hand and lifted him up; he got back up, no doubt.
28When they got inside the house, the disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we kick it out?"
29He said to them, "This kind only comes out by prayer and fasting, for real."
30Then they bounced from there and passed through Galilee, and he didn’t want anyone to know, no cap.
31He was teaching the squad, saying, "The Son of Man's gonna get handed over to some peeps, they’re gonna take him out; but don’t trip, he’ll bounce back on day three."
32But they were like, "What?" and didn’t wanna ask him for the tea.
33When he rolled up to Capernaum, he was chilling at the crib and asked them, "Yo, what were y’all arguing about on the way?"
34But they went quiet 'cause they were debating who was the GOAT among them.
35So he sat down, called the twelve, and said, "If you wanna be first, you gotta be last and serve everyone, no cap."
36He scooped up a kid and brought him in front of them, saying,
37"Whoever vibes with one of these kids in my name, vibes with me; and whoever vibes with me, vibes not just with me but with the one who sent me."
38John was like, "Yo, Rabbi, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, but he’s not rolling with us, so we told him to chill."
39But Jesus was like, "Don’t stop him; no one who does miracles in my name is gonna talk smack about me."
40"Whoever isn’t against us is totally on our team."
41If anyone hooks you up with a cup of water in my name 'cause you're with Christ, no cap, they’re getting rewarded for that.
42But if you mess with one of these little believers, that's sus. Better to have a millstone around your neck and be tossed in the sea, fr.
43If your hand's causing you trouble, just chop it off. Better to roll into life missing a hand than to have two hands and end up in the fire that never goes out, periodt.
44Where the worm never dies, and the fire just keeps raging.
45If your foot's trippin' you up, cut it off. Better to hobble into life than to have two feet and get sent to the fire that never goes out, no cap.
46Where the worm never dies, and the fire just keeps raging.
47If your eye's giving you issues, pluck it out. Better to vibe with one eye in God's kingdom than to have two eyes and end up in the fire, fr.
48Where the worm never dies, and the fire just keeps raging.
49Everyone’s gonna be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice gets that salt treatment, bet.
50Salt’s lit, but if it loses its flavor, how you gonna spice things up? Keep that salt in you and vibe with each other, periodt.
