Luke 9:28–50

^28aAnd it came to pass about an ^beight days after these ^csayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain ^dto pray. ²⁹And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was ^ealtered, and his raiment was white and glistering. ³⁰And behold, there talked with him two men, which were ⁱMoses and Elias: ³¹who appeared in ^fglory, and spake of his ^gdecease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. ³²But Peter and they that were with him were ^hheavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw ^fhis glory, and the two men that stood with him. ³³And it came to pass, as ⁱthey departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, ^kMaster, 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: ^lnot knowing what he said. ³⁴While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as ⁱthey entered into the cloud. ³⁵And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. ³⁶And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. ^mAnd they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

³⁷And it came to pass, that on the next day, ⁿwhen they were come down from ⁿⁿthe hill, much people met him. ³⁸And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, ^olook upon my son: for he is ^pmine only child. ³⁹And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly ^ppcrieth out; and it ^qteareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. ⁴⁰And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. ⁴¹And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. ⁴²And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. ^rBut while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, ⁴⁴Let these sayings ^ssink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. ^45tBut they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

^46uThen there arose ^wa reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. ⁴⁷And Jesus, ^xperceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, ⁴⁸and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and ^ywhosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: ^zfor he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

^49aAnd John answered and said, ^bMaster, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. ⁵⁰And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
