Afterward ,
Jesus having withdrawn from the multitude to pray ,
apart with his disciples ,
asked them ,
saying ,
*
They answered ,
John the Immerser ;
others say ,
Elijah ;
and others ,
that one of the ancient prophets is risen again .
*
He said to them ,
Peter answered ,
The Messiah of God .
*
Then ,
having strictly charged them ,
he prohibited them from telling this to any person ;
*
adding ,
*
Moreover ,
he said to all the people ,

About eight days after this discourse ,
he took with him Peter ,
and John ,
and James ,
and went up on a mountain to pray .
*
While he prayed ,
the appearance of his countenance was changed ,
and his raiment contracted a dazzling whiteness .
*
And ,
behold ,
two men of a glorious aspect ,
Moses and Elijah ,
*
conversed with him ,
and spoke of the departure which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem .
*
Now ,
Peter ,
and those that were with him ,
were overpowered with sleep ;
but when they awoke ,
they saw his glory ,
and the two men who stood with them .
*
As these were removing from Jesus ,
Peter said to him ,
not knowing what he said ,
Master ,
it is good for us to stay here ;
let us ,
then ,
make three booths ,
one for you ,
one for Moses ,
and one for Elijah .
*
While he was speaking ,
a cloud came and covered them ,
and the disciples feared ,
when they entered the cloud .
*
From the cloud a voice came ,
which said ,
This is my Son ,
the beloved ;
hear him .
*
While the voice was uttered ,
Jesus was found alone .
And they kept secret ,
telling no person ,
in those days ,
anything of what they had seen .
*
The next day ,
when they were come down from the mountain ,
a great multitude met him .
*
And one of the crowd cried out ,
saying ,
Rabbi ,
I beseech you ,
take pity on my son ;
for he is my only child .
*
And lo !
a spirit seizes him ,
making him instantly cry out ,
and fall into convulsions ,
so that he foams ;
and after he is much bruised ,
hardly leaves him .
*
And I besought your disciples to expel the demon ;
but they were not able .
*
Then ,
Jesus answering ,
said ,
*
And as he was coming ,
the demon dashed him down in convulsions .
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit ,
and having cured the child ,
delivered him to his father .
*
And they were all amazed at the great power of God .
While all were admiring everything which Jesus did ,
he said to his disciples ,

*
But they understood not this language ;
it was veiled to them ,
that they might not apprehend it ;
and they were afraid to ask him concerning it .
*
And there arose a debate among them ,
which of them should be the greatest .
*
But Jesus ,
who perceived the thought of their heart ,
took a child ,
and placing him near himself ,
*
said to them ,
*
Then John replied ,
Master ,
we saw one expelling demons in your name ,
and we forbade him ,
because he consorts not with us .
*
Jesus answered ,
*
Now ,
as the time of his departure approached ,
he set out resolutely for Jerusalem ,
*
and sent messengers before ,
who went into a village of the Samaritans to make preparation for him .
*
But they would not admit him ;
because they perceived he was going to Jerusalem .
*
His disciples ,
James and John ,
observing this ,
said ,
Master ,
shall we call down fire from heaven to consume them ,
as Elijah did ?
*
But he turned and rebuked them ,
saying ,

*
As they were on the way ,
one said to him ,
Master ,
I will follow you whithersoever you go .
*
Jesus answered ,
*
He said to another ,
He answered ,
Sir ,
permit me first to go and bury my father .
*
Jesus replied ,
*
Another ,
likewise ,
said ,
I will follow you ,
Sir ;
but first permit me to take leave of my family .

Jesus answered ,
