The Transfiguration
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Jesus went on to say, “I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Kingdom of God arrive in great power!”
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
The Transfiguration
Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone. As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed,
And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
and his clothes became dazzling white, far whiter than any earthly bleach could ever make them.
And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
Then Elijah and Moses appeared and began talking with Jesus.
And Peter answered and said to 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.
For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
He said this because he didn’t really know what else to say, for they were all terrified.
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.”
And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
Suddenly, when they looked around, Moses and Elijah were gone, and they saw only Jesus with them.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
So they kept it to themselves, but they often asked each other what he meant by “rising from the dead.”
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
Jesus responded, “Elijah is indeed coming first to get everything ready. Yet why do the Scriptures say that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be treated with utter contempt?
But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they chose to abuse him, just as the Scriptures predicted.”
Jesus Heals a Boy with an Evil Spirit
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy
When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd surrounding them, and some teachers of religious law were arguing with them.
And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
When the crowd saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with awe, and they ran to greet him.
And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
“What is all this arguing about?” Jesus asked.
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
One of the men in the crowd spoke up and said, “Teacher, I brought my son so you could heal him. He is possessed by an evil spirit that won’t let him talk.
And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
So they brought the boy. But when the evil spirit saw Jesus, it threw the child into a violent convulsion, and he fell to the ground, writhing and foaming at the mouth.
And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
“How long has this been happening?” Jesus asked the boy’s father.
He replied, “Since he was a little boy.
He replied, “Since he was a little boy.
And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
The spirit often throws him into the fire or into water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.”
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
Then the spirit screamed and threw the boy into another violent convulsion and left him. The boy appeared to be dead. A murmur ran through the crowd as people said, “He’s dead.”
But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
Afterward, when Jesus was alone in the house with his disciples, they asked him, “Why couldn’t we cast out that evil spirit?”
And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection
And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
Jesus Again Predicts His Death
Leaving that region, they traveled through Galilee. Jesus didn’t want anyone to know he was there,
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
for he wanted to spend more time with his disciples and teach them. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies. He will be killed, but three days later he will rise from the dead.”
But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
They didn’t understand what he was saying, however, and they were afraid to ask him what he meant.
The Greatest in the Kingdom
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
The Greatest in the Kingdom
After they arrived at Capernaum and settled in a house, Jesus asked his disciples, “What were you discussing out on the road?”
But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
But they didn’t answer, because they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said, “Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.”
And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
Then he put a little child among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
Intolerance Rebuked
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Using the Name of Jesus
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he wasn’t in our group.”
But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
“Don’t stop him!” Jesus said. “No one who performs a miracle in my name will soon be able to speak evil of me.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I tell you the truth, that person will surely be rewarded.
Temptations and Trespasses
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
“But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck.
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It’s better to enter the Kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? You must have the qualities of salt among yourselves and live in peace with each other.”
