⥃The Transfiguration ^{[ Matthew 17:1–13 † Luke 9:28–36 † 2 Peter 1:16–21 ]}

[1] And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That² there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste³ of death, till they have seen the kingdom⁴ of God come with power.

[2] And after⁵ six days Jesus taketh [with him] Peter⁶, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high⁷ mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured⁸ before them. [3] And his raiment⁹ became shining, exceeding¹⁰ white as sno¹¹w; so as no fuller on earth can white them. [4] And there appeared¹² unto them Elias¹³ with Moses¹⁴: and they were talking with Jesus. [5] And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is¹⁵ good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. [6] For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.¹⁶ [7] And there was a cloud¹⁷ that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This¹⁸ is my beloved Son: hear¹⁹ him. [8] And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.²⁰ [9] And as they came down from the mountain, he charged²¹ them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till²² the Son of man were risen from the dead. [10] And they²³ kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what²⁴ the rising from the dead should mean.

[11] [¶]And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?²⁵ [12] And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth²⁶ all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must²⁷ suffer many things, and be set²⁸ at nought. [13] But I say unto you, That Elias²⁹ is indeed come, and they³⁰ have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

⥃The Boy with an Evil Spirit ^{[ Matthew 17:14–18 † Luke 9:37–42 ]}

[14] And when³¹ he came to [his] disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes³² questioning with them. [15] And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were³³ greatly amazed, and running to [him] saluted him. [16] And he asked the scribes, What³⁴ question ye with them³⁵? [17] And one of the multi³⁶tude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb³⁷ spirit; [18] And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him³⁸: and he foameth³⁹, and gnasheth⁴⁰ with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they⁴¹ could not. [19] He answereth him, and saith, O faithless⁴² generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. [20] And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit⁴³ tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. [21] And he asked his father, How⁴⁴ long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. [22] And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if⁴⁵ thou canst do any thing, have⁴⁶ compassion on us, and help us. [23] Jesus said unto him, If⁴⁷ thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth. [24] And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with⁴⁸ tears, Lord, I believe; help⁴⁹ thou mine unbelief. [25] When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked⁵⁰ the foul spirit, saying unto him, [Thou⁵¹] dumb and deaf spirit, I charge⁵² thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. [26] And [the spirit] cried⁵³, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. [27] But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.⁵⁴ [28] And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked⁵⁵ him privately, Why⁵⁶ could not we cast him out? [29] And he said unto them, This⁵⁷ kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer⁵⁸ and fasting⁵⁹.

⥃The Second Prediction of the Passion ^{[ Matthew 17:22–23 † Luke 9:43–45 ]}

[30] And they departed thence, and passed through⁶⁰ Galilee; and he⁶¹ would not that any man should know [it]. [31] For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son⁶² of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. [32] But they⁶³ understood not that saying, and were⁶⁴ afraid to ask him.

⥃The Greatest in the Kingdom ^{[ Matthew 18:1–5 † Luke 9:46–50 ]}

[33] [¶]And he came⁶⁵ to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What⁶⁶ was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? [34] But they held their peace: for by the way they had⁶⁷ disputed among themselves, who [should be] the greatest. [35] And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If⁶⁸ any man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant of all. [36] And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,⁶⁹ [37] Whosoever shall receive one⁷⁰ of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me⁷¹, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

[38] And John answered him, saying, Master⁷², we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. [39] But Jesus said, Forbid⁷³ him not: for there⁷⁴ is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly⁷⁵ speak evil of me. [40] For he that is not against us is on our part.⁷⁶ [41] For whosoever⁷⁷ shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because⁷⁸ ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

⥃Temptations and Trespasses ^{[ Matthew 18:6–9 † Luke 17:1–4 ]}

[42] And whosoever shall offend⁷⁹ one of [these] lit⁸⁰tle ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. [43] And if⁸¹ thy hand offend thee⁸², cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed⁸³, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: [44] Where their⁸⁴ worm dieth not, and the fire⁸⁵ is not quenched. [45] And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:⁸⁶ [46] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.⁸⁷ [47] And if thine⁸⁸ eye offend thee⁸⁹, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: [48] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.⁹⁰

⥃Good Salt ^{[ Matthew 5:13–16 † Luke 14:34–35 ]}

[49] For every one shall be salted with fire, and every⁹¹ sacrifice shall be salted with salt. [50] Salt [is] good⁹²: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt⁹³ in yourselves, and have peace⁹⁴ one with another.
