Jesus said to him, "If you can, all things are possible to him who believes."

After six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,

And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name and we forbade him, because he was not one of us."

And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and he did not want anyone to know it.

And they came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, "What were you discussing on the road?"

Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"

Then he said to them, "Elijah does come first and restores all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man, that he must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him."

And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast out the spirit, but they could not."

Immediately, when they saw him, all the people were greatly amazed, and ran to him and greeted him.

And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

and his clothes became dazzling, exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth could bleach them.

And Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernaclesone for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

And the spirit cried out, convulsed him terribly, and came out. And the boy was like a corpse; so that many of them said, "He is dead."

And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

For he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

For he was teaching his disciples and said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."

And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!"

For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

For every one will be salted with fire.

For he who is not against us is for us.

And he took a little child, and put him in the midst of them. And taking him in his arms, he said to them,

And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.
