1 ^9:28AND about eight days after these words, taking Peter, and James, and John, he went up on the mountain to pray. ^9:29And while he was praying, the appearance of his face was changed, and his clothes became white and shining; ^9:30and behold, two men conversed with him, who were Moses and Elijah, ^9:31who appearing in glory spoke of his departure which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. ^9:32And Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep; and when they awoke they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him. ^9:33And when they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; not knowing what he said. ^9:34And when he had said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid when they entered into the cloud. ^9:35And there was a voice from the cloud, saying, This is my chosen Son; hear him. ^9:36And when the voice had passed, Jesus was found alone. And they were silent and told no man in those days any thing of what they had seen.

2 ^9:37And on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. ^9:38And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I desire you to look upon my son, for he is my only child; ^9:39and behold a spirit takes him, and suddenly cries out and convulses him, with foam and crushing him departs from him with difficulty; ^9:40and I desired your disciples to cast it out, and they could not. ^9:41And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you, and suffer you! Bring your son hither. ^9:42And while he was coming, the demon tore him with spasms and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, and cured the child, and gave him back to his father. ^9:43And they were all astonished at the majesty of God.

3 And while all wondered at all things which he did, he said to his disciples, ^9:44Commit these words to your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men. ^9:45But they understood not this saying; and it was concealed from them, that they might not perceive it; and they feared to ask him concerning this saying.

4 ^9:46And there arose a debate among them, which of them should be the greatest. ^9:47And Jesus perceiving the debate in their minds, took a little child and set it by him, ^9:48and said to them, Whoever receives this little child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, he shall be the greatest. ^9:49And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he follows not with us. ^9:50And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for whoever is not against us is for us.
