Bible. New Testament
THEN six days after, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them into an exceeding high mountain apart.
(2)And he was transformed before them; and his face shone as the sun,
and his garments were white as the light. (3)And behold, there appeared
to them, Moses and Elias talking with him. (4)Then Peter addressing
him, said to Jesus, Lord, It is well that we are here; if it please
thee, we will make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses,
and one for Elias. (5)And while he was yet speaking, behold, a luminous
cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, This
is my beloved Son, in whom is my delight; hear him! (6)And the
disciples hearing it, fell on their face, and were exceedingly
affrighted. (7)And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, be not
affrighted. (8)Then lifting up their eyes, they saw no person, but
Jesus only. (9)And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus
commanded them, saying, Tell no man the vision, until the Son of man is
risen from the dead. (10)And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then
do the scribes affirm, that Elias must come first? (11)Then Jesus
answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform
all things. (12)But I say unto you, That Elias is already come, and
they knew him not, but have done by him whatsoever they chose: even so
also must the Son of man suffer by them. (13)Then understood the
disciples that he spake to them of John the Baptist.
(14)And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man,
kneeling down to him, and saying, (15)Lord, have compassion on my son,
for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for oftentimes he falleth
into the fire, and often into the water. (16)And I brought him to thy
disciples, and they have not been able to cure him. (17)Then Jesus
answering, said, O generation, faithless, and perverse! how long shall
I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me.
(18)And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil came out of him; and the child
was cured from that hour. (19)Then the disciples of Jesus coming
privately, said, Why could not we cast it out? (20)Then said Jesus unto
them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have
faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove from
hence, thither, and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible for
you. (21)But this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
(22)And as they were returning into Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The
Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men: (23)and they shall
kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were grieved
exceedingly.
