* And He said to them , Truly I say to you that there are some of those who stand here who shall not taste of death until they see the kingdom of God come with power . * And after six days Jesus took Peter and James and John and led them up into a high mountain , apart by themselves . And He was transfigured before them . * And His clothing became shining , exceedingly white as snow such as no fuller on earth could whiten them . * And Elijah with Moses was seen by them , and they were talking with Jesus . * And Peter answered and said to Jesus , Rabbi , it is good [for ] us to be here . And let us make three tabernacles , one for You , and one for Moses , and one for Elijah . * For he did not know what to say , for they were very much 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 , looking around , they did not see anyone any more , except Jesus alone with themselves . * And as they came down from the mountain , He commanded them that they should tell no one the things that they had seen until the Son of man had risen from [the ] dead . * And they kept that saying within themselves , debating with one another what the rising from [the ] dead [is ]. * And they asked Him , saying , Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come ? * And He answered and told them , Elijah truly does come first and restores all things . And how has it been written of the Son of man that He should suffer many things and be despised ? * But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come , and they have done to him whatever they desired , as it is written of him . * And coming to [His ] disciples , He saw a great crowd around them , and scribes arguing with them . * And immediately all the crowd , seeing Him , were greatly amazed , and they were running to [Him ] to greet Him . * And He asked the scribes , What are you discussing with them ? * And one of the crowd answered and said , Teacher , I have brought my son who has a dumb spirit to You . * And wherever he seizes him , he dashes him . And he foams and gnashes his teeth and pines away . And I spoke to Your disciples that they should cast him out , and they could not . * He answered him and said , O faithless generation , how long shall I be with you ? How long shall I bear with you ? Bring him to Me ! * And they brought him to Him . And when he saw Him , the spirit immediately convulsed him . And he fell on the ground and wallowed , foaming . * And He asked his father , How long ago has it been since this came to him ? And he said , From childhood . * And oftentimes it has cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him . But if You can do anything , have compassion on us and help us . * Jesus said to him , If you can believe , all things [are ] possible to him who believes . * And immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears , Lord , I believe . Help my unbelief . * And seeing that a crowd is running together , Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit , saying to him , Dumb and deaf spirit , I command you , come out of him and enter no more into him ! * And [the spirit ] cried out , throwing him into convulsions , and came out of him . And he was like one dead , so that many said , He is dead . * But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up , and he arose . * And He entering into a house , His disciples asked Him privately , [Why ] could we not cast him out ? * And He said to them , This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer and fasting . * And going out from there , they passed through Galilee . And He desired that no one should know . * 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 after He is killed , He shall rise the third day . * But they did not understand that saying and were afraid to ask Him . * And He came to Capernaum . And being in the house , He asked them , What was it that you disputed among yourselves in the way ? * But they were silent . For in the way they had disputed among themselves who [was ] the greatest . * And He sat down and called the Twelve and said to them , If anyone desires to be first , he shall be last of all and servant of all . * And He took a child , and embraced it , and set him in their midst . And He said to them , * Whoever receives one of such children on My name receives Me . And whoever receives Me does not [only ] receives Me , but Him who sent Me . * And John answered him , saying , Master , we saw one casting out demons in Your name , and he does not follow us . And we forbade him , because he does not follow us . * But Jesus said , Do not forbid him . For there is no one who shall do a work of power in My name who can lightly speak evil of Me . * For he who is not against us is for us . * For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My name , because you [belong ] to Christ , truly I say to you , he shall not lose his reward . * And whoever shall offend one of [these ] little ones who believe in Me , it is better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and he were cast into the sea . * And if your hand offends you , cut it off . It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands to go into hell , into the fire that never shall be quenched * where their worm dies not , and the fire is not quenched . * And if your foot offends you , cut it off . It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have two feet to be cast into hell , into the fire that never shall be quenched * where their worm dies not , and the fire is not quenched . * And if your eye offends you , pluck it out . It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes to be cast into hell fire * where their worm dies 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 becomes saltless , with what will you season ? Have salt in yourselves , and be at peace with one another .
