Luke 9:28–50

²⁸And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and James and John and went up into a mountain to pray.

²⁹And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered and his raiment became white and glittering.

³⁰And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,

³¹Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.

³²But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory and the two men that stood with him.

³³And it came to pass that, as they were departing from him, Peter saith 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: not knowing what he said.

³⁴And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them. And they were afraid when they entered into the cloud.

³⁵And a voice came out of the cloud; saying: This is my beloved son. Hear him.

³⁶And whilst the voice was uttered Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen.

³⁷And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude.

³⁸And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one.

³⁹And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰And I desired 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 hither thy son.

⁴²And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down and tore him.

⁴³And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and cured the boy and restored him to his father.

⁴⁴And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵But they understood not this word: and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.

⁴⁶And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.

⁴⁷But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and set him by him,

⁴⁸And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.

⁴⁹And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name: and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

⁵⁰And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.
