1
And he said unto them,Verily I say unto you,That there besome of them that standhere,whichshallnottaste of death,tillthey have seen the kingdom of Godcomewithpower.
2
AndaftersixdaysJesustaketh with him Peter,andJames,andJohn,andleadeththemupinto an highmountainapartbythemselves:and he was transfiguredbeforethem.
3
Andhisraimentbecameshining, exceedingwhiteassnow; so asnofulleronearthcanwhite them.
4
And there appeared unto themEliaswithMoses:and they weretalking with Jesus.
5
AndPeteranswered and said to Jesus,Master, it isgood for us to behere:and let us makethreetabernacles;one for thee,andone for Moses,andone for Elias.
6
For he wistnotwhat to say; for they were soreafraid.
7
And there was a cloud that overshadowedthem:and a voicecame out of the cloud,saying, ThisismybelovedSon:hearhim.
8
Andsuddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more,saveJesusonlywiththemselves.
9
And as they came downfrom the mountain, he chargedthemthat they should tell no man what things they had seen, tilltheSon of man were risenfrom the dead.
10
And they kept that sayingwiththemselves, questioning one with anotherwhat the risingfrom the dead should mean.
11
And they askedhim,saying, Whysay the scribesthatEliasmustfirstcome?
12
And he answered and toldthem,Eliasverilycomethfirst, and restoreth all things;andhow it is writtenof the Son of man,that he must suffer many things,and be set at nought.
13
But I say unto you,ThatEliasisindeedcome, and they have done unto himwhatsoever they listed, as it is writtenofhim.
14
And when he cameto his disciples, he saw a greatmultitudeaboutthem,and the scribesquestioning with them.
15
Andstraightwayall the people, when they beheldhim, were greatly amazed, and running to him salutedhim.
16
And he asked the scribes,What question yewiththem[a]?
17
Andoneof the multitudeanswered and said, Master, I have broughtuntotheemyson, which hath a dumbspirit;
18
Andwheresoeverhetakethhim, he teareth[b]him:and he foameth, andgnasheth with histeeth,and pineth away: and I spake to thydisciplesthat they should casthimout; and they couldnot.
19
He answerethhim,andsaith, Ofaithlessgeneration, how longshall I bewithyou? how longshall I sufferyou?bringhimuntome.
20
And they broughthimuntohim:and when he sawhim,straightway the spirittarehim;and he fellon the ground, and wallowedfoaming.
21
And he askedhisfather,How long is itagosincethiscame unto him?And he said, Of a child.
22
Andofttimes it hath casthimintothefire,andinto the waters,todestroyhim:butif thou canst do any thing, have compassiononus, and helpus.
23
Jesussaid unto him,If thou canstbelieve, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24
Andstraightway the father of the child cried out, and saidwithtears,Lord, I believe; help thoumineunbelief.
25
WhenJesussawthat the people came running together, he rebuked the foulspirit,saying unto him,Thou dumbanddeafspirit,Ichargethee,come out ofhim,andenter no moreintohim.
26
And the spirit cried, andrenthimsore, and came out of him: and he wasas one dead;insomuchthatmanysaid, He is dead.
27
ButJesustookhim by the hand, and liftedhimup; and he arose.
28
And when he was comeinto the house,hisdisciplesaskedhimprivately*, Whycouldnotwecasthimout?
29
And he said unto them,Thiskindcan come forthbynothing,butbyprayerandfasting.
30
And they departedthence, and passedthroughGalilee;and he wouldnotthat any man should know it.
31
For he taughthisdisciples,andsaid unto them*, The Son of man is deliveredinto the hands of men,and they shall killhim;and after that he is killed, he shall rise the thirdday.
32
But they understood not that saying,and were afraid to askhim.
33
And he cametoCapernaum:andbeingin the house he askedthem,What was it that ye disputedamongyourselvesby the way?
34
But they held their peace: forby the way they had disputedamongthemselves,who should be the greatest.
35
And he sat down, and called the twelve,andsaith unto them,If any mandesire to befirst, the same shall belast of all,andservant of all.
36
And he took a child, and sethimin the midst of them:and when he had takenhim in his arms, he said unto them,
37
Whosoevershallreceiveone of suchchildreninmyname,receivethme:andwhosoevershallreceiveme,receivethnotme,but him that sentme.
38
AndJohnansweredhim,saying, Master, we sawone casting outdevils in thyname,and he followethnotus:and we forbadhim,because he followethnotus.
39
ButJesussaid, Forbidhimnot:for there is no manwhich shall do a miracleinmyname,thatcanlightly speak evil of me.
41
Forwhosoevershallgiveyou a cup of water to drinkinmyname,because ye belong to Christ,verily I say unto you, he shallnotlosehisreward.
42
Andwhosoevershalloffendone of these little ones that believeinme, it isbetterforhimthat a millstonewerehangedabouthisneck,and he were castinto the sea.
