And he
said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That there be some of them that stand here, which
shall not taste of death, till they have seen the
kingdom of God come with power.
02 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 before them.
03 And his raiment became shining, exceeding
white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white
them.
04 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses:
and they were talking with Jesus.
05 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.
06 For he wist not what to say; for they were
sore afraid.
07 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them:
and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This
is my beloved Son: hear him.
08 And suddenly, when they had looked round
about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only
with themselves.
09 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.
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the
scribes that Elias must first come?
12 And he answered and told them, 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.
13 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.
14 And when he came to his
disciples, he saw a great multitude about them,
and the 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 the scribes, What
question ye with them?
17 And one of the multitude
answered and said, Master, I have brought unto
thee my son, which hath a dumb 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.
19 He answereth him, and saith, O
faithless generation, how long shall I be with
you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto
me.
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.
21 And he asked his father, How long
is it ago since this came unto him? 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, If thou
canst believe, all things are possible to him
that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of
the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I
believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running
together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto
him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I
charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more
into him.

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.
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, This
kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and
fasting.
30 And they departed thence, and
passed through Galilee; and he would not that any
man should know it.
31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto
them, 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.
32 But they understood not that
saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the
house he asked them, What was it that ye
disputed among yourselves by the way?
34 But they held their peace: for
by the way they had disputed among themselves,
who should be the greatest.
35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and
saith unto them, If any man desire to be
first, the same shall be last of all, and servant
of all.
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 Whosoever shall receive one of
such children in my name, receiveth me: and
whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but
him that sent me.
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.
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for
there is no man which shall do a miracle in my
name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 For he that is not
against us is on our part.
41 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.
42 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.
43 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:
44 Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 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:
46 Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 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:
48 Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be
salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be
salted with salt.
50 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.
