1 And he said to them, I tell you truly, that there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God having come with power.
2 AND after six days Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves alone, and was transfigured before them;
3 and his garments became shining, extremely white, so that no fuller on the earth could whiten them.
4 And Elijah appeared to them; with Moses, and they conversed with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and we will make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;
6 for he knew not what he answered, for they were afraid.
7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.
9 And coming down from the mountain he charged them to tell no man what they had seen, till the Son of man should have risen from the dead.
10 And they kept the word, inquiring with themselves what the rising from the dead meant.
12 And he said to them, Elijah comes first, and restores all things; as also it is written of the Son of man, That he shall suffer many things, and be set at naught;
13 but I tell you, that Elijah has come, and they have done to him what they wished, as it was written of him.
14 And coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 And immediately all the multitude seeing him, were highly pleased, and ran forward and saluted him.
16 And he asked, What were you disputing about with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought my son to you, having a dumb spirit;
18 and wherever it takes him it convulses him, and he foams and grates his teeth, and becomes emaciated. And I spoke to your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.
19 And he answered and said to them, O faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me.
20 And they brought him to him. And seeing him, the spirit immediately affected him with convulsions, and he fell on the ground, and rolled about, foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long a time is it since this came upon him? And he said, From a little child;
22 and it often casts him into fire, and into waters, to destroy him; but if you are able, help us, and have mercy on us.
24 And the father of the little child immediately crying out, said, I believe; help my unbelief.
25 And Jesus seeing that a multitude ran together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying to him, Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more.
26 And crying out and affecting him with many convulsions, he went out. And he was like a dead person, so that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up, and he stood up.
28 And when he went into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could we not cast it out?
30 And departing thence, he passed through Galilee, and desired that no one should know him,
31 for he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him. And when he is killed, on the third day he shall rise again.
32 And they understood not the word, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And he came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house, he asked them, What did you dispute about on the way?
34 And they were silent; for they had disputed with each other on the way as to who was the greatest.
35 And he sat down and called the twelve, and said to them, If any one wishes to be first, he shall he last of all, and a servant of all.
36 And taking a little child, he put it in the midst of them, and taking it in his arms, said to them,
37 Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me, but him that sent me.
38 And John spoke to him, saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him.
39 And Jesus said, Forbid him not; for no one will perform a mighty work in my name, and be able lightly to speak evil of me.
40 For whoever is not against us is for us;
41 and whoever gives you a cup of water because you are Christ's, truly he shall not lose his reward.
42 And whoever shall offend one of the little ones having faith, it would be better for him if a millstone was put about his neck and he was cast into the sea.
43 And if your hand offends you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two hands to go away into hell, into the inextinguishable fire.

45 And if your foot offends you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell.
