- Some eight days after these sayings, He took along Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.
- And while He was praying, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing became white and gleaming.
- And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah,
- who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
- Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.
|
- And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
- And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
- And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
- Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
- But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
|
- And as these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--not realizing what he was saying.
- While he was saying this, a cloud formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
- Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!"
- And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
- On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him.
|
- And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
- While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
- And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
- And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
- And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
|
- And a man from the crowd shouted, saying, "Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only boy,
- and a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams, and it throws him into a convulsion with foaming at the mouth; and only with difficulty does it leave him, mauling him as it leaves.
- "I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not."
- And Jesus answered and said, "You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."
- While he was still approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.
|
- And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
- And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
- And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
- And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
- And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
|
- And they were all amazed at the greatness of God But while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples,
- "Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men."
- But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.
- An argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest.
- But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking in their heart, took a child and stood him by His side,
|
- And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
- Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
- But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
- Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
- And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
|
- and said to them, "Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great."
- John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name; and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow along with us."
- But Jesus said to him, "Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you."
|
- And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
- And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
- And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
