009:030 And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah. 009:031 They came in glory, and kept speaking about His death, which He was so soon to undergo in Jerusalem. 009:032 Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him. 009:033 And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what he was saying. 009:034 But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud. 009:035 Then there came a voice from within the cloud: "This is My Son, My Chosen One: listen to Him." 009:036 After this voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept it to themselves, and said not a word to any one at that time about what they had seen. 009:037 On the following day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd came to meet Him; 009:038 and a man from the crowd called out, "Rabbi, I beg you to pity my son, for he is my only child. 009:039 At times a spirit seizes him and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him, and makes him foam at the mouth, and does not leave him till it has well-nigh covered him with bruises. 009:040 I entreated your disciples to expel the spirit, but they could not." 009:041 "O unbelieving and perverse generation!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here to me." 009:042 Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father. 009:043 And all were awe-struck at the mighty power of God. And while every one was expressing wonder at all that He was doing, He said to his disciples, 009:044 "As for you, store these my sayings in your memory; for, before long, the Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men." 009:045 But they did not understand His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it. 009:046 Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest. 009:047 And Jesus, knowing the reasoning that was in their hearts, took a young child and made him stand by His side 009:048 and said to them, "Whoever for my sake receives this little child, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent me. For the lowliest among you all--he is the greatest."
