After he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and brought them by themselves up a high mountain apart from the rest.

As they came down the mountain he strictly forbade them to narrate to any one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead.

"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, 'Up and hurl yourself into the sea!' and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him.
