The Transfiguration
28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings,
he took Peter and John and James,
and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And [it came to past] as he prayed,
the appearance of his countenance was different,
and his raiment white, flashing like lightning.
30 And, behold, there stood with him two men, which were Moses and Elias,
31 seen in his glory.
32 Now Peter and they that were with him were weighed down with sleep:
but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory,
and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus,
Teacher, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles;
one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias:
not knowing what he said.
34 But while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them:
and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying,
This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone.
And they were silent, and told no man in those days
any of those things which they had seen.

37 And it came to pass, that on the next day,
when they were come down from the mountain,
a great multitude met him.
38 And, behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying,
Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is my only begotten.
39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out;
and it convulseth him with foam, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 And as he was yet a coming, the demon rent him, and convulsed him.
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy,
and delivered him again to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the majesty of God.
And as they all wondered at all things which Jesus did,
he said unto his disciples,
44 Take ye into your ears these sayings:
for the Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them
that they should not perceive it :
and they feared to ask him about that saying.

46 Then there arose a reasoning among them,
which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart,
took a child, and set it [next to] himself, and said unto them,
48 Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me:
and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me:
for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 And John answered and said,
Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name;
and we hindered him, because he followeth not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him,
Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

51 And it came to pass, when the days of his taking up were being fulfilled,
he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went,
and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was going to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said,
Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven,
and to consume them, even as Elijah did?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said,
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man came not to destroy men's lives, but to save them.
And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way,
a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 And Jesus said unto him,
Foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have lodging places;
but the Son of man hath not where he may lay his head.
59 And he said unto another, Follow me.
But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead:
but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee;
but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him,
No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back,
is fit for the kingdom of God.
