* And he said to them , Verily I say to you , That there are some of them that stand here , who shall not taste of death , till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power . * And after six days Jesus taketh Peter , and James , and John , and leadeth them up upon 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 make them white . * And there appeared to them Elijah 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 Elijah . * For he knew not what to say ; for they were greatly 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 around , they saw no man any more , except 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 Elijah must first come ? * And he answered and told them , Elijah verily cometh first , and restoreth all things ; and how it is written concerning the Son of man , that he must suffer many things , and be treated with contempt . * But I say to you , That Elijah is indeed come , and they have done to him whatever they wished , as it is written concerning him . * And when he came to disciples , he saw a great multitude about them , and the scribes questioning with them . * And immediately all the people , when they beheld him , were greatly amazed , and running to greeted him . * And he asked the scribes , What question ye with them ? (note :)with them : or , among yourselves (:note ) * And one of the multitude answered and said , Master , I have brought to thee my son , who hath a dumb spirit ; * And wherever he taketh him , he teareth him : and he foameth , and gnasheth with his teeth , and pineth away : and I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out ; and they could not . (note :)teareth …: or , dasheth him (:note ) * He answered him , and saith , 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 , immediately the spirit tore him ; and he fell on the ground , and wallowed foaming . * And he asked his father , How long is it since this came to him ? And he said , From a child . * And often 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 to him , If thou canst believe , all things possible to him that believeth . * And immediately the father of the child cried out , and said with tears , Lord , I believe ; help thou my unbelief . * When Jesus saw that the people came running together , he rebuked the foul spirit , saying to him , dumb and deaf spirit , I charge thee , come out of him , and enter no more into him . * And cried , and tore him violently , and came out of him : and he was as one dead ; so that many said , He is dead . * But Jesus took him by the hand , and lifted him up ; and he arose . * And when he had come into the house , his disciples asked him privately , Why could not we cast him out ? * And he said to them , This kind can come forth by nothing , but by prayer and fasting . * And they departed from there , and passed through Galilee ; and he would not that any man 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 that he is killed , he shall rise the third day . * But they understood not 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 ye disputed among yourselves by the way ? * But they held their peace : for by the way they had disputed among themselves , who the greatest . * And he sat down , and called the twelve , and saith to them , If any man desireth to be first , shall be last of all , and servant of all . * And he took a child , and set him in the midst of them : and when he had taken him in his arms , he said to them , * Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name , receiveth me : and whoever shall receive me , receiveth not me , but him that sent me . * And John answered him , saying , Master , we saw one casting out demons in thy name , and he followeth not us : and we forbad him , because he followeth not us . * But Jesus said , Forbid him not : for there is no man who shall do a miracle in my name , that can lightly speak evil of me . * For he that is not against us is for us . * For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name , because ye belong to Christ , verily I say to you , he shall not lose his reward . * And whoever shall cause one of little ones that believe in me to stumble it is better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck , and he were cast into the sea . * And if thy hand causeth thee to stumble , cut it off : it is better for thee to enter life maimed , than having two hands to go into hell , into the fire that never shall be quenched : (note :)offend …: or , cause thee to offend (:note ) * Where their worm dieth not , and the fire is not quenched . * And if thy foot causeth thee to stumble , cut it off : it is better for thee to enter lame into life , than having two feet to be cast into hell , into the fire that never shall be quenched : (note :)offend …: or , cause thee to offend (:note ) * Where their worm dieth not , and the fire is not quenched . * And if thy eye causeth thee to stumble , pluck it out : it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye , than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire : (note :)offend …: or , cause thee to offend (:note ) * Where their worm dieth not , and the fire is not quenched . * For every one shall be salted with fire , and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt . * Salt good : but if the salt hath lost its saltness , how will ye season it ? Have salt in yourselves , and have peace one with another .
