* 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 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 . * And his raiment became shining , exceeding white as snow ; so as no fuller on earth can white them . * And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses : and they were 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 . * And there was a cloud that overshadowed them : and a voice came out of the cloud , saying , This is my beloved Son : hear him . * And suddenly , when they had looked round about , they saw no man any more , save Jesus only with themselves . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * And when he came to his disciples , he saw a great multitude about them , and the scribes questioning with them . * And straightway all the people , when they beheld him , were greatly amazed , and running to him saluted him . * And he asked the scribes , What question ye with them * And one of the multitude answered and said , Master , I have brought unto thee my son , which hath a dumb spirit ; * 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 . * And he asked his father , How long is it ago since this came unto him ? And he said , Of a child . * 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 . * Jesus said unto him , If thou canst believe , all things are possible to him that believeth . * And straightway the father of the child cried out , and said with tears , Lord , I believe ; help thou mine 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 . * But Jesus took him by the hand , and lifted him up ; and he arose . * And when he was come into the house , his disciples asked him privately , Why could not we cast him out ? * And he said unto them , This kind can come forth by nothing , but by prayer and fasting .
