⥃The Transfiguration ^{[ Mark 9:1–13 † Luke 9:28–36 † 2 Peter 1:16–21 ]}

[1] And after² six days Jesus taketh Peter³, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high⁴ mountain apart, [2] And was transfigured⁵ before them: and his face⁶ did shine as the sun, and his raiment⁷ was white as the light. [3] And, behold⁸, there appeared unto them Moses⁹ and Elias¹⁰ talking with him. [4] Then answered¹¹ Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is¹² good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. [5] While he yet spake, behold¹³, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice¹⁴ out of the cloud, which said, This¹⁵ is my beloved Son, in whom¹⁶ I am well pleased; hear¹⁷ ye him. [6] And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.¹⁸ [7] And Jesus came and touched¹⁹ them, and said, Arise²⁰, and be not afraid. [8] And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw²¹ no man, save Jesus only. [9] And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus²² charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until²³ the Son of man be risen again from the dead. [10] And his disciples asked him, saying, Why²⁴ then say the scribes that Elias must first come? [11] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore²⁵ all things. [12] But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they²⁶ knew him not, but²⁷ have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise²⁸ shall also the Son of man suffer of them. [13] Then the disciples²⁹ understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

⥃The Boy with a Demon ^{[ Mark 9:14–29 † Luke 9:37–42 ]}

[14] And when³⁰ they were come to the multitude, there came to him a [certain] man, kneeling³¹ down to him, and saying, [15] Lord, have³² mercy on my son: for³³ he is³⁴ lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes³⁵ he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. [16] And I brought him to thy disciples, and they³⁶ could not cure him. [17] Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless³⁷ and perverse generation, how long shall I be³⁸ with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. [18] And Jesus rebuked³⁹ the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from⁴⁰ that very hour.

⥃The Power of Faith ^{[ Luke 17:5–10 ]}

[19] Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?⁴¹ [20] And Jesus said unto them, Because⁴² of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If⁴³ ye have faith⁴⁴ as a grain⁴⁵ of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing⁴⁶ shall be impossible unto you. [21] Howbeit this⁴⁷ kind goeth not out but⁴⁸ by prayer and fasting.

⥃The Second Prediction of the Passion ^{[ Mark 9:30–32 † Luke 9:43–45 ]}

[22] And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son⁴⁹ of man shall be betrayed⁵⁰ into the hands of men: [23] And they shall⁵¹ kill him, and the third⁵² day he shall be raised again. And they were⁵³ exceeding sorry.

⥃The Temple Tax

[24] And when⁵⁴ they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute⁵⁵ [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? [25] He saith, Yes⁵⁶. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their⁵⁷ own children, or of strangers? [26] Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.⁵⁸ [27] Notwithstanding, lest⁵⁹ we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take⁶⁰ up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money⁶¹: that take⁶², and give unto them for me and thee.
