And they sat down in squares, by hundreds and by fifties.

And seeing them troubled to proceed, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them walking on the lake, and wished to pass by them.

AND after six days Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves alone, and was transfigured before them;

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and we will make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;

But in those days, after that affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers in the heavens shall be shaken.
