AND he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God coming in power. ^{2 [a]} And after six days Jesus taketh Peter and James and John, and bringeth them alone into a high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them. ³And his garments were made glistering and white exceedingly as snow, the like whereof a fuller can not make white upon the earth. ⁴And there appeared to them ^[b] • Elias with Moyses; and they were talking with Jesus. ⁵And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moyses, and one for Elias. ⁶For he knew not what he said; for they were frighted with fear: ⁷And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my Son most dear: hear ye him. ⁸And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more but Jesus only with them. ⁹And as they descended from the mountain, he commanded them that they should not tell any man what things they had seen, but when the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead. ¹⁰And they kept in the word with themselves; questioning together what that should be, when he shall be risen from the dead.

¹¹And they asked him, saying: What say the Pharisees then and the Scribes, that * Elias must come first? ¹²Who answering said to them: Elias when he cometh first, shall restore all things: and ′ how it is written of the Son of man, that he shall suffer many things and be contemned. ¹³But I say to you that • Elias also is come (and they have done to him whatsoever they would) as it is written of him.

¹⁴And * coming to his Disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the Scribes questioning with them. ¹⁵And forthwith all the People seeing Jesus, was astonished, and much afraid: and running to him, saluted him. ¹⁶And he asked them: What do you question of among you? ¹⁷And one of the multitude answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb Spirit, ¹⁸who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and withereth: and I spoke to thy Disciples to cast him out, and they could not. ¹⁹Who answering them, said: O incredulous Generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. ²⁰And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the Spirit troubled him; and being thrown upon the ground, he tumbled foaming. ²¹And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath chanced unto him? But he said: From his infancy: ²²and oftentimes hath he cast him into fire and into waters, to destroy him. But if thou canst anything, help us, having compassion on us. ²³And Jesus said to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. ²⁴And incontinent the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe Lord; help my incredulity. ²⁵And when Jesus saw the People running together, he threatened the unclean Spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb Spirit, I command thee, go out of him, and enter not any more into him. ²⁶And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said, that he is dead. ²⁷But Jesus holding his hand, lifted him up; and he rose. ²⁸And when he was entered into the house, his Disciples secretly asked him, why could not we cast him out? ²⁹And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but ^[c] by prayer and fasting.

³⁰And * departing thence they passed by Galilee, neither would he that any man should know. ³¹And he taught his Disciples, and said to them: That the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and being killed the third day he shall rise again. ³²But they knew not the word: and they were afraid to ask him.

³³And they came to Capharnaum. Who, when he was in the house, asked them: What did you treat of in the way? ³⁴But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greater. ³⁵And sitting down, he called the Twelve, and says to them: If any man will be first, he shall be last of all, and the minister of all. ³⁶And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he said to them: ³⁷Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸John answered him, saying: Master we saw one casting out Devils • in thy name, who followeth not us, and we prohibited him. ³⁹But Jesus said: Do not prohibit him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me. ⁴⁰For he that is not against you, is for you. ⁴¹For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you are Christ’s; amen I say to you, he shall not lose his ^[d] reward. ⁴²And whosoever shall ^[e] scandalise one of these little ones believing in me; it is good for him rather if a millstone were put about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. ⁴³And if thy hand scandalise thee, cut it off. It is good for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into Hell, into the fire unquenchable, ⁴⁴where their worm dieth not, and the fire quencheth not. ⁴⁵And if thy foot scandalise thee, chop it off. It is good for thee to enter into life everlasting, lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into the Hell of unquenchable fire, ⁴⁶where their worm dieth not, and the fire quencheth not. ⁴⁷And if thine eye scandalise thee, cast it out. it is good for thee with one eye to enter into the Kingdom of God, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into the Hell of fire, ⁴⁸where their worm dieth not, and the fire quencheth not. ⁴⁹For every one shall be salted with fire: and * every victim shall be salted with salt. ⁵⁰Salt is good. But if the salt shall be unseasoned; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
