The Transfiguration

9AND JESUS said to them, Truly {and} solemnly I say to you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death before they see the kingdom of God come in [its] power.G2532G3004G846G281G3004G5213G3754G1526G5100G2476G5602G3748G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G2316G2064G1722G14112Six days after this, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves. And He was transfigured before them {and} became resplendent with divine brightness.G2532G3326G1803G2250G2424G3880G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G2532G399G846G399G1519G5308G3735G2596G2398G3441G2532G3339G1715G8463And His garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller (cloth dresser, launderer) on earth could bleach them.G2532G846G2440G1096G4744G3029G3022G5613G5510G3634G3756G1102G1909G1093G1410G30214And Elijah appeared [there] to them, accompanied by Moses, and they were holding [a protracted] conversation with Jesus.G2532G3700G846G2243G4862G3475G2532G2258G4814G24245And Peter took up the conversation, saying, Master, it is good {and} suitable {and} beautiful for us to be here. Let us make three booths (tents)--one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.G2532G4074G611G3004G2424G4461G2076G2570G2248G1511G5602G2532G4160G5140G4633G3391G4671G2532G3391G3475G2532G3391G22436For he did not [really] know what to say, for they were in a violent fright (aghast with dread).G1063G1492G3756G5101G2980G1063G2258G16307And a cloud threw a shadow upon them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, the [most dearworthy] Beloved One. Be constantly listening to {and} obeying Him!G2532G1096G3507G1982G846G2532G5456G2064G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G8468And looking around, they suddenly no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus only.G2532G1819G4017G1492G3762G3765G235G2424G3441G3326G14389And as they were coming back down the mountain, He admonished {and} expressly ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man should rise from among the dead.G1161G846G2597G575G3735G1291G846G2443G1334G3367G3739G1492G1508G3752G5207G444G450G1537G349810So they carefully {and} faithfully kept the matter to themselves, questioning {and} disputing with one another about what rising from among the dead meant.G2532G2902G3056G4314G1438G4802G5101G450G1537G3498G207611And they asked Him, Why do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to come first?G2532G1905G846G3004G3754G3004G1122G3754G2243G1163G4412G206412And He said to them, Elijah, it is true, does come first to restore all things {and} set them to rights. And how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things {and} be utterly despised {and} be treated with contempt {and} rejected?G1161G611G2036G846G2243G3303G2064G4412G600G3956G2532G4459G1125G1909G5207G444G2443G3958G4183G2532G184713But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and [people] did to him whatever they desired, as it is written of him.G235G3004G5213G3754G2243G2064G2532G2064G2532G4160G846G3745G2309G2531G1125G1909G846

All Things Possible

14And when they came to the [nine] disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes questioning {and} disputing with them.G2532G2064G4314G3101G1492G4183G3793G4012G846G2532G1122G4802G84615And immediately all the crowd, when they saw Jesus [returning from the holy mount, His face and person yet glistening], they were greatly amazed and ran up to Him [and] greeted Him.G2532G2112G3956G3793G1492G846G1568G2532G4370G782G84616And He asked them, About what are you questioning {and} discussing with them?G2532G1905G1122G5101G4802G4314G84617And one of the throng replied to Him, Teacher, I brought my son to You, for he has a dumb spirit.G2532G1520G1537G3793G611G2036G1320G5342G4314G4571G3450G5207G2192G216G415118And wherever it lays hold of him [so as to make him its own], it dashes him down {and} convulses him, and he foams [at the mouth] and grinds his teeth, {and} he [falls into a motionless stupor and] is wasting away. And I asked Your disciples to drive it out, and they were not able [to do it].G2532G3699G302G2638G846G4486G846G2532G875G2532G5149G846G3599G2532G3583G2532G2036G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G2480G375619And He answered them, O unbelieving generation [without any faith]! How long shall I [have to do] with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to Me.G611G846G1161G3004G5599G571G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2193G4219G430G5216G5342G846G4314G316520So they brought [the boy] to Him, and when the spirit saw Him, at once it completely convulsed the boy, and he fell to the ground and kept rolling about, foaming [at the mouth].G2532G5342G846G4314G846G2532G1492G846G2112G4151G4682G846G2532G4098G1909G1093G2947G87521And [Jesus] asked his father, How long has he had this? And he answered, From the time he was a little boy.G2532G1905G846G3962G4214G2076G5550G5613G5124G1096G846G1161G2036G381222And it has often thrown him both into fire and into water, intending to kill him. But if You can do anything, do have pity on us and help us.G2532G4178G906G846G2532G1519G4442G2532G1519G5204G2443G622G846G235G1536G1410G1536G4697G1909G2248G997G225423And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!G1161G2424G2036G846G1487G1410G4100G3956G1415G846G410024At once the father of the boy gave [an eager, piercing, inarticulate] cry {with tears,} and he said, Lord, I believe! [Constantly] help my weakness of faith!G2532G2112G3962G3813G2896G3004G3326G1144G2962G4100G997G3450G57025But when Jesus noticed that a crowd [of people] came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you to come out of him and never go into him again.G1161G2424G1492G3754G3793G1998G2008G169G4151G3004G846G216G2532G2974G4151G1473G2004G4671G1831G1537G846G2532G1525G3371G1519G84626And after giving a [hoarse, clamoring, fear-stricken] shriek of anguish and convulsing him terribly, it came out; and the boy lay [pale and motionless] like a corpse, so that many of them said, He is dead.G2532G2896G2532G4682G846G4183G1831G2532G1096G5616G3498G5620G3754G4183G3004G59927But Jesus took [a strong grip of] his hand and began lifting him up, and he stood.G1161G2424G2902G846G5495G1453G846G1453G2532G45028And when He had gone indoors, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could not we drive it out?G2532G846G1525G1519G3624G846G3101G1905G846G2596G2398G3754G1410G3756G2249G1544G846G154429And He replied to them, This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer {and fasting.}G2532G2036G846G5124G1085G1410G1831G1722G3762G1508G1722G4335G2532G3521

Death and Resurrection Foretold

30They went on from there and passed along through Galilee. And He did not wish to have anyone know it,G2532G1831G1564G3899G1223G1056G2532G2309G3756G2443G5100G109731For He was [engaged for the time being in] teaching His disciples. He said to them, The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and when He has been killed, after three days He will rise [from death].G1063G1321G846G3101G2532G3004G846G3754G5207G444G3860G1519G5495G444G2532G615G846G2532G615G450G5154G225032But they did not comprehend what He was saying, and they were afraid to ask Him [what this statement meant].G1161G50G4487G2532G5399G1905G84633And they arrived at Capernaum; and when [they were] in the house, He asked them, What were you discussing {and} arguing about on the road?G2532G2064G1519G2584G2532G1096G1722G3614G1905G846G5101G1260G4314G1438G1722G359834But they kept still, for on the road they had discussed {and} disputed with one another as to who was the greatest.G1161G4623G1063G1722G3598G1256G4314G240G5101G318735And He sat down and called the Twelve [apostles], and He said to them, If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.G2532G2523G5455G1427G2532G3004G846G1536G2309G1511G4413G2071G2078G3956G2532G1249G395636And He took a little child and put him in the center of their group; and taking him in [His] arms, He said to them,G2532G2983G3813G2476G846G1722G3319G846G2532G1723G846G1723G2036G84637Whoever in My name {and} for My sake accepts {and} receives {and} welcomes one such child also accepts {and} receives {and} welcomes Me; and whoever so receives Me receives not only Me but Him Who sent Me.G3739G1437G1209G1520G5108G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G3756G1691G235G649G3165

Dire Warnings

38John said to Him, Teacher, we saw a man who does not follow along with us driving out demons in Your name, and we forbade him to do it, because he is not one of our band [of Your disciples].G1161G2491G611G846G3004G1320G1492G5100G1544G1140G4675G3686G3739G190G3756G2254G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G225439But Jesus said, Do not restrain {or} hinder {or} forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in My name will soon afterward be able to speak evil of Me.G1161G2424G2036G2967G846G3361G1063G2076G3762G3739G4160G1411G1909G3450G3686G2532G1410G5035G2551G316540For he who is not against us is for us.G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G2257G522841For I tell you truly, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to {and} bear the name of Christ will by no means fail to get his reward.G1063G3739G302G4222G5209G4221G5204G4222G1722G3450G3686G3754G2075G5547G281G3004G5213G622G3364G622G846G340842And whoever causes one of these little ones (these believers) who acknowledge {and} cleave to Me to stumble {and} sin, it would be better (more profitable and wholesome) for him if a [huge] millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.G2532G3739G302G4624G1520G3398G4100G1519G1691G2076G2570G3123G846G1487G3037G3457G4029G4012G846G5137G2532G906G1519G228143And if your hand puts a stumbling block before you {and} causes you to sin, cut it off! It is more profitable {and} wholesome for you to go into life [that is really worthwhile] maimed than with two hands to go to hell (Gehenna), into the fire that cannot be put out.G2532G1437G4675G5495G4624G4571G609G846G609G2076G2570G4671G1525G1519G2222G2948G2228G2192G1417G5495G565G1519G1067G1519G4442G76245And if your foot is a cause of stumbling {and} sin to you, cut it off! It is more profitable {and} wholesome for you to enter into life [that is really worthwhile] crippled than, having two feet, to be cast into hell (Gehenna).G2532G1437G4675G4228G4624G4571G609G846G609G2076G2570G4671G1525G5560G1519G2222G2228G2192G1417G4228G906G1519G1067G1519G4442G76247And if your eye causes you to stumble {and} sin, pluck it out! It is more profitable {and} wholesome for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell (Gehenna),G2532G1437G4675G3788G4624G4571G1544G846G1544G2076G2570G4671G1525G1519G932G2316G3442G2228G2192G1417G3788G906G1519G1067G444248Where their worm [which preys on the inhabitants and is a symbol of the wounds inflicted on the man himself by his sins] does not die, and the fire is not put out.G3699G846G4663G5053G3756G2532G4442G4570G3756G457049For everyone shall be salted with fire.G1063G3956G233G4442G2532G3956G2378G233G25150Salt is good (beneficial), but if salt has lost its saltness, how will you restore [the saltness to] it? Have salt within yourselves, and be at peace {and} live in harmony with one another.G217G2570G1161G1437G217G1096G358G1722G5101G741G846G2192G217G1722G1438G2532G1514G240G1722G240

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
