Problem with gradle, doesn't accept compile, but I don't know how to use implement to get spark working

I tried some implement variations of the line used in video but it was not working

The video had 

compile 'com.sparkjava:spark-core:2.x.x

not sure which version, but Gradle changed compile to implementation

make your line look like this, 2.9.4 is the latest version of spark

    implementation 'com.sparkjava:spark-core:2.9.4'
