* And he said to them , Truly I say to you , there are some of those who have stood here , who will , no , not taste of death until they see the kingdom of God come in power . * And after six days Jesus takes Peter and James and John , and leads them up onto a high mountain alone , in private . And he was transfigured before them , * and his garments became glistening , exceedingly white , as snow , such as no fuller on earth is able to whiten . * And Elijah with Moses appeared to them , and they were talking with Jesus . * And having responded , Peter says to Jesus , Rabbi , it is good for us to be here . And we could make three tabernacles : one for thee , and one for Moses , and one for Elijah . * For he knew not what he would say , for they were frightened . * And a cloud developed overshadowing them . And a voice came out of the cloud , This is my beloved Son . Hear ye him . * And suddenly having looked around , they saw no man anymore , but only Jesus with themselves . * And as they were coming down from the mountain , he commanded them that they should tell no man what they saw , except when the Son of man will rise from the dead . * And they kept the saying to themselves , discussing what is the rising from the dead . * And they questioned him , saying , The scholars say that Elijah must first come . * And having answered , he said to them , Elijah indeed comes first and restores all . And how it is written for the Son of man , that he would suffer many things and be rejected . * But I say to you , that Elijah has also come , and they did to him as much as they wanted , just as it is written for him . * And when they came to the disciples he saw a great multitude around them , and scholars disputing with them . * And straightaway all the multitude , having noticed him , were startled . And running near they greeted him . * And he questioned the scholars , What are ye disputing with them ? * And having answered , one from the multitude said , Teacher , I brought my son to thee , who has a mute spirit . * And wherever it seizes him , it tears him , and he foams , and gnashes his teeth , and becomes limp . And I spoke to thy disciples that they might cast it out , and they were not able . * And having answered him , he says , O faithless generation , how long will I be with you ? How long will I endure you ? Bring him to me . * And they brought him to him . And when he saw him , straightaway the spirit convulsed him . And having fallen on the ground , he wallowed , foaming . * And he questioned his father , How much time is it since this has happened to him ? And he said , From childhood . * And it often casts him both into the fire and into the waters so that it might destroy him . But if thou can do anything , help us , having compassion toward us . * And Jesus said to him , If thou are able to believe , all things are possible to him who believes . * And straightaway the father of the child having cried out , he said with tears , I believe . Lord , help thou my unbelief . * And when Jesus saw that a crowd was running together , he rebuked the unclean spirit , saying to it , Thou mute and deaf spirit , I command thee to come out of him , and enter into him no more . * And having cried out , and having convulsed him much , it came out . And he became as if dead , so as for many to said that he was dead . * But having taken him by the hand , Jesus lifted him up , and he arose . * And when he came into the house , his disciples questioned him privately , We were not able to cast it out . * And he said to them , This kind can come out by nothing , except by prayer and fasting . * And having departed from there , they passed through Galilee , and he did not want that any man would know it . * For he taught his disciples , and said to them , The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men , and they will kill him . And after being killed , he will rise the third day . * But they did not understand the saying , and were afraid to question him . * And he came to Capernaum . And having become in the house he questioned them , What were ye deliberating among yourselves on the way ? * But they were silent , for on the way they discussed among each other , who is greater . * And having sat down , he called the twelve , and he says to them , If any man wants to be first , he will be last of all , and helper of all . * And having taken a child , he set it in the midst of them . And after embracing it , he said to them , * Whoever may receive one of such children in my name , receives me , and whoever may receive me , does not receive me , but him who sent me . * And John answered him , saying , Teacher , we saw a certain man , who does not follow us , casting out demons in thy name , and we forbade him , because he does not follow us . * But Jesus said , Forbid him not , for there is no man who will do a mighty work in my name , and will be able quickly to speak evil of me . * For he who is not against you is for you . * For whoever may give you a cup of water to drink in my name , because ye are of Christ , truly I say to you , he will , no , not lose his reward . * And whoever may cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble , it is good for him instead , if a millstone were hanged about his neck , and he were cast into the sea . * And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble , cut it off . It is good for thee to enter into life maimed , than having thy two hands to go into hell , into the unquenchable fire , * where their worm does not perish , and the fire is not quenched . * And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble , cut it off . It is good for thee to enter into life crippled , than having thy two feet to be cast into hell , into the unquenchable fire * where their worm does not perish , and the fire is not quenched . * And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble , pluck it out . It is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God one-eyed , rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire , * where their worm does not perish , and the fire is not quenched . * For every man will be salted with fire , and every sacrifice will be salted with salt material . * The salt material is good , but if the salt material becomes saltless , by what will ye season it ? Have salt in yourselves , and be at peace among each other .
