1And he said unto them , Verily I say unto you , There are some here of them that stand by , who shall in no wise taste of death , till they see the kingdom of God come with power . 2And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter , and James , and John , and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves : and he was transfigured before them ; 3and his garments became glistering, exceeding white , so as no fuller on earth can whiten them . 4And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses : and they were talking with Jesus . 5And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus , Rabbi , it is good for us to be here : and let us make three tabernacles ; one for thee, and one for Moses , and one for Elijah . 6For he knew not what to answer; for they became sore afraid . 7And there came a cloud overshadowing them : and there came a voice out of the cloud , This is my beloved Son : hear ye him . 8And suddenly looking round about , they saw no one any more , save Jesus only with themselves . 9And as they were coming down from the mountain , he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen , save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead . 10And they kept the saying , questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean . 11And they asked him , saying , How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come ? 12And he said unto them , Elijah indeed cometh first , and restoreth all things : and how is it written of the Son of man , that he should suffer many things and be set at nought ? 13But I say unto you , that Elijah is come , and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would , even as it is written of him .
Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit
14And when they came to the disciples , they saw a great multitude about them , and scribes questioning with them . 15And straightway all the multitude , when they saw him , were greatly amazed , and running to him saluted him . 16And he asked them , What question ye with them ? 17And one of the multitude answered him , Teacher , I brought unto thee my son , who hath a dumb spirit ; 18and wheresoever it taketh him , it dasheth him down : and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth , and pineth away : and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out ; and they were not able . 19And he answereth them and saith , O faithless generation , how long shall I be with you ? how long shall I bear with you ? bring him unto me . 20And they brought him unto him : and when he saw him , straightway the spirit tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground , and wallowed foaming. 21And he asked his father , How long time is it since this hath come unto him ? And he said , From a child . 22And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters , to destroy him : but if thou canst do anything , have compassion on us , and help us . 23And Jesus said unto him , If thou canst ! All things are possible to him that believeth . 24Straightway the father of the child cried out , and said , I believe ; help thou mine unbelief. 25And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together , he rebuked the unclean spirit , saying unto him , Thou dumb and deaf spirit , I command thee, come out of him , and enter no more into him . 26And having cried out , and torn him much , he came out : and the boy became as one dead ; insomuch that the more part said , He is dead . 27But Jesus took him by the hand , and raised him up ; and he arose . 28And when he was come into the house , his disciples asked him privately , How is it that we could not cast it out ? 29And he said unto them , This kind can come out by nothing , save by prayer .
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection
30And they went forth from thence , and passed through Galilee ; and he would not that any man should know it . 31For he taught his disciples , and said unto them , The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men , and they shall kill him ; and when he is killed, after three days he shall rise again . 32But they understood not the saying , and were afraid to ask him .
Who is the Greatest?
33And they came to Capernaum : and when he was in the house he asked them , What were ye reasoning on the way ? 34But they held their peace : for they had disputed one with another on the way , who was the greatest . 35And he sat down , and called the twelve ; and he saith unto them , If any man would be first , he shall be last of all , and servant of all . 36And he took a little child , and set him in the midst of them : and taking him in his arms , he said unto them , 37Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name , receiveth me : and whosoever receiveth me , receiveth not me , but him that sent me .
Temptations to Sin
38John said unto him , Teacher , we saw one casting out demons in thy name ; and we forbade him , because he followed not us . 39But Jesus said , Forbid him not : for there is no man who shall do a mighty work in my name , and be able quickly to speak evil of me . 40For he that is not against us is for us . 41For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink , because ye are Christ ’s, verily I say unto you , he shall in no wise lose his reward . 42And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble , it were better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck , and he were cast into the sea . 43And if thy hand cause thee to stumble , cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed , rather than having thy two hands to go into hell , into the unquenchable fire . 4445And if thy foot cause thee to stumble , cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt , rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell . 4647And if thine eye cause thee to stumble , cast it out : it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye , rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell ; 48where their worm dieth not , and the fire is not quenched . 49For every one shall be salted with fire . 50Salt is good : but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it ? Have salt in yourselves , and be at peace one with another .
