Then it happened ,
as they were parting from Him ,
that Peter said to Jesus , "
Master ,
it is good for us to be here ;
and let us make three tabernacles :
one for You ,
one for Moses ,
and one for Elijah "--
not knowing what he said .
*
While he was saying this ,
a cloud came and overshadowed them ;
and they were fearful as they entered the cloud .
*
And a voice came out of the cloud ,
saying , "
This is My beloved Son .
Hear Him !"
*
When the voice had ceased ,
Jesus was found alone .
But they kept quiet ,
and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen .
*
Now it happened on the next day ,
when they had come down from the mountain ,
that a great multitude met Him .
*
Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out ,
saying , "
Teacher ,
I implore You ,
look on my son ,
for he is my only child .
*
And behold ,
a spirit seizes him ,
and he suddenly cries out ;
it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth ;
and it departs from him with great difficulty ,
bruising him .
*
So I implored Your disciples to cast it out ,
but they could not ."
*
Then Jesus answered and said , "
O faithless and perverse generation ,
how long shall I be with you and bear with you ?
Bring your son here ."
*
And as he was still coming ,
the demon threw him down and convulsed him .
Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit ,
healed the child ,
and gave him back to his father .
*
And they were all amazed at the majesty of God .
But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did ,
He said to His disciples ,
* "
Let these words sink down into your ears ,
for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men ."
*
But they did not understand this saying ,
and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it ;
and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying .
*
Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest .
*
And Jesus ,
perceiving the thought of their heart ,
took a little child and set him by Him ,
*
and said to them , "
Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me ;
and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me .
For he who is least among you all will be great ."
*
Now John answered and said , "
Master ,
we saw someone casting out demons in Your name ,
and we forbade him because he does not follow with us ."
*
But Jesus said to him , "
Do not forbid him ,
for he who is not against us is on our side ."
*
Now it came to pass ,
when the time had come for Him to be received up ,
that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem ,
*
and sent messengers before His face .
And as they went ,
they entered a village of the Samaritans ,
to prepare for Him .
*
But they did not receive Him ,
because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem .
*
And when His disciples James and John saw this ,
they said , "
Lord ,
do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them ,
just as Elijah did ?"
