And, hearing it, the disciples fell upon their face, and were caused to fear exceedingly. And Jesus came near, and, touching them, said - Arise! and be not afraid.

And there came a cloud, overshadowing them, and there came a voice, out of the cloud, - This is, my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him. And, suddenly looking round, no longer, saw they, anyone, with them, save, Jesus only. And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, he charged them, that, unto no one, they should narrate what they had seen, save whenever the Son of man, from among the dead should arise. And, the word, they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was, the rising from among the dead. And they began to question him, saying - The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first? And, he, said unto them - Elijah, indeed, coming first, restoreth all things; and yet, how is it written, regarding the Son of Man, that, many things, he must suffer, and be set at nought?

Now, while he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it began to overshadow them, - and they were overcome with fear as they entered into the cloud. And, a voice, came out of the cloud, saying - This, is my Son, the Chosen One: Unto him, be hearkening. And, when the voice came, there was found, Jesus alone. And they held their peace, and, unto no one, reported they, in those days, any of the things which they had seen.


And, hearing that, John, had been delivered up, he retired into Galilee;

In that season, heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of Jesus: and he said unto his servants - This, is John the Immerser, - he hath arisen from the dead, for this cause, are the powers working mightily within him. For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away, - because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother; read more.
for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her. And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him. But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod; wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself; and, she, being led on by her mother, - Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser. And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given; and sent and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus.

But, when Herod heard, he was saying - He whom I beheaded - John, the same, hath been raised. For, Herod himself, had sent and secured John and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, - for, her, had he married, For John had been saying to Herod - It is not allowed thee, to have, the wife of thy brother. read more.
And, Herodias, was cherishing a grudge against him, and wishing, to slay him, - and could not; for, Herod, stood in fear of John, knowing him to be a man righteous and holy, - and was keeping him safe; and, when he heard him, he paid earnest heed, and, with pleasure, used to listen to him. And, an opportune day arriving, when Herod on his birthday made a feast for his nobles, and for the rulers of thousands and for the first men of Galilee, when the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining together, and, the king, said unto the damsel - Ask me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee; and he took an oath to her - Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, unto half my kingdom. And, going out, she said unto her mother - What shall I ask? and she said - The head of John the Immerser; And, coming in straightway, with hast, unto the king, she asked, saying - I desire, that, forthwith, thou give me, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser. And, though the king was, very grieved, yet, by reason of the oaths, and of them who were reclining, he would not refuse her. And the king, straightway, sending off a guard, gave orders to bring his head. And, departing, he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a charger, and gave it unto the damsel - and, the damsel, gave it unto her mother. And, hearing of it, his disciples went and took away his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

Another, it is, who beareth witness concerning me, - and I know that, true, is the witness which he witnesseth concerning me.
