== Tasting death ==

[1] And he said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death<Ref name="thanatos">{{2288}}</Ref>, till they have seen the [[kingdom of God]] come with power.'''<span><Ref name="tastedth">{{tastedth}}</Ref>

== The Transfiguration ==

[2] And after six days [[Jesus]] taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured<Ref name="transf">{{transf}}</Ref> before them.<Ref name="threeprst">{{threeprst}}</Ref>

[3] And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.

[4] And there appeared unto them [[Elijah|Elias]]<Ref name="Helias">{{2243}}</Ref>  with [[Moses]]: and they were talking with [[Jesus]].

[5] 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 Elias.

[6] For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

=== Voice from the cloud ===

[7] And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, '''This is my beloved Son: hear him.'''

[8] And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

===Rising from death ===

[9] 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.

[10] And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

== Elias first ==

[11] And they asked him, saying, '''Why say the [[scribe|scribes]] that Elias must first come?'''

[12] And he answered and told them, <span style="color:red">'''Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the [[Son of man]], that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.'''</span>

[13] <span style="color:red">'''But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.'''</span>

== Scribes question the multitude ==

[14] And when he came to his [[disciples]], he saw a great multitude about them, and the [[scribe|scribes]] questioning with them.

[15] And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

[16] And he asked<Ref name="eperotao">{{1905}}</Ref> the [[scribe|scribes]],  <span style="color:red">'''What question<Ref name="suzeteo">{{4802}}</Ref>  ye with them?'''</span>

== Jesus Heals a Boy ==

[17] And one of the multitude answered and said, '''Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb<Ref name="alalos">{{216}}</Ref> spirit;'''

[18] '''And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.'''

=== Faithless generation===

[19] He answereth him, and saith,  <span style="color:red">'''O faithless<Ref name="apistos">{{571}}</Ref>   generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.'''</span>

[20] And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

=== Asked father ===

[21] And he asked his father,  <span style="color:red">'''How long is it ago since this came unto him?'''</span>   And he said, '''Of a child.'''

[22] '''And ofttimes 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.'''

[23] Jesus said unto him, <span style="color:red">'''If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that [[believeth]].'''</span>

=== Help me with unbelief===

[24] And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, '''Lord, I [[Believeth|believe]]; help thou mine unbelief.'''

[25] When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked<Ref name="epitimao">{{2008}}</Ref>the foul spirit, saying unto him,  <span style="color:red">'''Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.'''</span>

[26] And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, '''He is dead.'''

[27] But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

== Disciples asked privately ==

[28] And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, '''Why could not we cast him out?'''

[29] And he said unto them,  <span style="color:red">'''This kind can come forth by nothing, but by [[prayer]] and [[fasting]].'''</span>

== Moved secretly through Galilee ==

[30] And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.

== Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection ==

[31] For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''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.'''</span>

[32] But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

== Disputed along the way secretly ==

[33] And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, <span style="color:red">'''What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?'''</span>

[34] But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

=== Precepts ===

[35] And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.'''</span><Ref name="serveth">{{serveth}}</Ref>

[36] And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

[37] <span style="color:red">'''Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name<Ref name="myname">{{myname}}</Ref>, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.'''</span>

[38] And John answered him, saying, '''Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.'''

== Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us ==

[39] But Jesus said, <span style="color:red">'''Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.'''</span>

[40] <span style="color:red">'''For he that is not against us is on our part.'''</span>

[41] <span style="color:red">'''For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.'''</span>


== Temptations to Sin ==

[42] <span style="color:red">'''And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.'''</span>

[43] <span style="color:red">'''And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:'''</span>

[44] <span style="color:red">'''Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'''</span>

[45] <span style="color:red">'''And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:'''</span>

[46] <span style="color:red">'''Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'''</span>

[47] <span style="color:red">'''And if thine eye offend thee, 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:'''</span>

[48] <span style="color:red">'''Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'''</span>

[49] <span style="color:red">'''For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.'''</span>

[50] <span style="color:red">'''Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.'''</span><br>
