MATTHEW Chapter 17 1 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4 And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is well that we are here; if you wish, I will make three booths here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." 5 He was still speaking, when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him." 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe. 7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and have no fear." 8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. 9 And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, "Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is raised from the dead." 10 And the disciples asked him, "Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?" 11 He replied, "Elijah does come, and he is to restore all things; 12 but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of man will suffer at their hands." 13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist. 14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said, 15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him." 17 And Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me." 18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" 20 He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you." 21 22 As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men, 23 and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day." And they were greatly distressed. 24 When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the tax?" 25 He said, "Yes." And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute? From their sons or from others?" 26 And when he said, "From others," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free. 27 However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel; take that and give it to them for me and for yourself."

MARK Mark 9:2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them, Mark 9:3 and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Mark 9:4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Mark 9:5 And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." Mark 9:6 For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid. Mark 9:7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him." Mark 9:8 And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only. Mark 9:9 And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead. Mark 9:10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant. Mark 9:11 And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?" Mark 9:12 And he said to them, "Elijah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? Mark 9:13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him." Mark 9:14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them, and scribes arguing with them. Mark 9:15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him. Mark 9:16 And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?" Mark 9:17 And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit; Mark 9:18 and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able." Mark 9:19 And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me." Mark 9:20 And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. Mark 9:21 And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood. Mark 9:22 And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us." Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes." Mark 9:24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!" Mark 9:25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again." Mark 9:26 And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead." Mark 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. Mark 9:28 And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?" Mark 11:23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Mark 9:30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it; Mark 9:31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise." Mark 9:32 But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him.

LUKE Luke 9:28 Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. Luke 9:29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white. Luke 9:30 And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Elijah, Luke 9:31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem. Luke 9:32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, and when they wakened they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. Luke 9:33 And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah" not knowing what he said. Luke 9:34 As he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. Luke 9:35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!" Luke 9:36 And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen. Luke 9:37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. Luke 9:38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried, "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son, for he is my only child; Luke 9:39 and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him till he foams, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. Luke 9:40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not." Luke 9:41 Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here." Luke 9:42 While he was coming, the demon tore him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. Luke 17:6 And the Lord said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamine tree, 'Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. Luke 9:44 "Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men." Luke 9:45 But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
