A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek: Humbly Attempted with a View to Assist the Unlearned with Clearer and More Explicit Views of the Mind of the Spirit in the Scriptures of Truth
Haweis, Thomas
Bible. New Testament
(28)And it was about eight days after these discourses, that taking
Peter, and John, and James, he went up into a mountain to pray. (29)And
it came to pass, as he was at prayer, that the appearance of his
countenance was altered, and his raiment white and refulgent. (30)And,
lo! two men conversed with him, who were Moses and Elias: (31)who
appeared in glory, and mentioned his departure, which he was ready to
accomplish at Jerusalem. (32)But Peter and they who were with him were
weighed down with sleep: but when they awoke, they beheld his glory,
and the two men who were standing with them. (33)And it came to pass,
as they were departing from him, Peter said unto Jesus, it is well that
we are here, and we will make three tents, one for thee, and one for
Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said. (34)And as he was
thus speaking, a cloud came and overshadowed them: and they were afraid
as they were entering into the cloud. (35)And a voice came out of the
cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear him. (36)And when the voice
ceased, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no
man in those days a word of the things which they had seen.
(37)And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the
mountain, a great multitude met him. (38)And, behold, a man from among
the multitude cried out aloud, saying, Master, I pray thee, look upon
my son; for he is my only begotten. (39)And, behold! a spirit taketh
him, and suddenly he crieth out, and convulseth him, with foaming; and
bruising him, with difficulty retires from him. (40)And I besought thy
disciples that they would cast him out, and they could not. (41)Then
Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation! how long
shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you? bring hither thy
son. (42)And while he was yet approaching the devil threw him down, and
violently convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and
cured the child; and restored him to his father. (43)And they were all
struck with amazement at the mighty power of God. And while they were
all wondering at the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
(44)Keep ye these sayings in your ears; for the Son of man shall be
betrayed into the hands of men. (45)And they understood not that
declaration, and it was hid from them, that they should not comprehend
its meaning: and they were afraid to ask him concerning that saying.
(46)Then a dispute sprang up among them, which of them should be the
greatest. (47)But Jesus knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a
little boy, and set him by his side, (48)and said unto them, Whosoever
shall receive this little child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever
receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me: for he who is the least among
you all, he shall be great.
