1And Jesus was saying<3004> to them,
2Six<1803> days<2250> later<3326>, Jesus<2424> *took<3880> with Him Peter<4074> and James<2385> and John<2491>, and *brought<399> them up on a high<5308> mountain<3735> by themselves<2398><3441>. And He was transfigured<3339> before<1715> them;
3and His garments<2440> became<1096> radiant<4744> and exceedingly<3029> white<3022>, as no<3756> launderer<1102> on earth<1093> can<1410> whiten<3021> them.
4Elijah<2243> appeared<3708> to them along<4862> with Moses<3475>; and they were talking<4814> with Jesus<2424>.
5Peter<4074> *said<3004> to Jesus<2424>, "Rabbi<4461>, it is good<2570> for us to be here<5602>; let us make<4160> three<5140> tabernacles<4633>, one<1520> for You, and one<1520> for Moses<3475>, and one<1520> for Elijah<2243>."
6For he did not know<3609> what<5101> to answer<611>; for they became<1096> terrified<1630>.
7Then<2532> a cloud<3507> formed<1096>, overshadowing<1982> them, and a voice<5456> came<1096> out of the cloud<3507>, "This<3778> is My beloved<27> Son<5207>, listen<191> to Him!"
8All<1819> at once<1819> they looked<4017> around<4017> and saw<3708> no<3762> one<3762> with them anymore<3765>, except<1508> Jesus<2424> alone<3441>.
9As they were coming<2597> down<2597> from the mountain<3735>, He gave<1291> them orders<1291> not to relate<1334> to anyone<3367> what<3739> they had seen<3708>, until<1487><3361><3752> the Son<5207> of Man<444> rose<450> from the dead<3498>.
10They seized<2902> upon that statement<3056>, discussing<4802> with one<1438> another<1438> what<5101> rising<450> from the dead<3498> meant<1510>.
11They asked<1905> Him, saying<3004>, "Why is it that the scribes<1122> say<3004> that Elijah<2243> must<1163> come<2064> first<4413>?"
12And He said<5346> to them,
13
14When they came<2064> back to the disciples<3101>, they saw<3708> a large<4183> crowd<3793> around<4012> them, and some scribes<1122> arguing<4802> with them.
15Immediately<2117>, when the entire<3956> crowd<3793> saw<3708> Him, they were amazed<1568> and began running<4370> up to greet<782> Him.
16And He asked<1905> them,
17And one<1520> of the crowd<3793> answered<611> Him, "Teacher<1320>, I brought<5342> You my son<5207>, possessed<2192> with a spirit<4151> which makes him mute<216>;
18and whenever<3699> it seizes<2638> him, it slams<4486> him to the ground and he foams<875> at the mouth, and grinds<5149> his teeth<3599> and stiffens<3583> out. I told<3004> Your disciples<3101> to cast<1544> it out, and they could<2480> not do it."
19And He *answered<611> them and *said<3004>,
20They brought<5342> the boy to Him. When<2532> he saw<3708> Him, immediately<2117> the spirit<4151> threw<4952> him into a convulsion<4952>, and falling<4098> to the ground<1093>, he began rolling<2947> around<2947> and foaming<875> at the mouth.
21And He asked<1905> his father<3962>,
22"It has often<4178> thrown<906> him both<2532> into the fire<4442> and into the water<5204> to destroy<622> him. But if<1487> You can<1410> do anything<5100>, take<4697> pity<4697> on us and help<997> us!"
23And Jesus<2424> said<3004> to him,
24Immediately<2117> the boy's<3813> father<3962> cried<2896> out and said<3004>, "I do believe<4100>; help<997> my unbelief<570>."
25When Jesus<2424> saw<3708> that a crowd<3793> was rapidly<1998> gathering<1998>, He rebuked<2008> the unclean<169> spirit<4151>, saying<3004> to it,
26After crying<2896> out and throwing<4682> him into terrible<4183> convulsions<4682>, it came<1831> out; and the boy became<1096> so much<5616> like<5616> a corpse<3498> that most<4183> of them said<3004>, "He is dead<599>!"
27But Jesus<2424> took<2902> him by the hand<5495> and raised<1453> him; and he got<450> up.
28When He came<1525> into the house<3624>, His disciples<3101> began questioning<1905> Him privately<2596><2398>, "Why<3739><5101> could<1410> we not drive<1544> it out?"
29And He said<3004> to them,
30From there<2547> they went<1831> out and began to go<3899> through<1223> Galilee<1056>, and He did not want<2309> anyone<5100> to know<1097> about it.
31For He was teaching<1321> His disciples<3101> and telling<3004> them,
32But they did not understand<50> this statement<4487>, and they were afraid<5399> to ask<1905> Him.
33They came<2064> to Capernaum<2746>; and when He was in the house<3614>, He began to question<1905> them,
34But they kept<4623> silent<4623>, for on the way<3598> they had discussed<1256> with one<240> another<240> which<5101> of them was the greatest<3173>.
35Sitting<2523> down<2523>, He called<5455> the twelve<1427> and *said<3004> to them,
36Taking<2983> a child<3813>, He set<2476> him before<1722><3319> them, and taking<1723> him in His arms<1723>, He said<3004> to them,
37
38John<2491> said<5346> to Him, "Teacher<1320>, we saw<3708> someone<5100> casting<1544> out demons<1140> in Your name<3686>, and we tried to prevent<2967> him because<3754> he was not following<190> us."
39But Jesus<2424> said<3004>,
