9And he said to them, "Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."G2532G3004G846G281G3004G5213G3754G1526G5100G2476G5602G3748G1089G3364G1089G2288G2193G302G1492G932G2316G2064G1722G14112After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them.G2532G3326G1803G2250G2424G3880G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G2532G399G846G399G1519G5308G3735G2596G2398G3441G2532G3339G1715G8463His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.G2532G846G2440G1096G4744G3029G3022G5613G5510G3634G3756G1102G1909G1093G1410G30214And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.G2532G3700G846G2243G4862G3475G2532G2258G4814G24245Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."G2532G4074G611G3004G2424G4461G2076G2570G2248G1511G5602G2532G4160G5140G4633G3391G4671G2532G3391G3475G2532G3391G22436(He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)G1063G1492G3756G5101G2980G1063G2258G16307Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"G2532G1096G3507G1982G846G2532G5456G2064G1537G3507G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G191G8468Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.G2532G1819G4017G1492G3762G3765G235G2424G3441G3326G14389As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.G1161G846G2597G575G3735G1291G846G2443G1334G3367G3739G1492G1508G3752G5207G444G450G1537G349810They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what "rising from the dead" meant.G2532G2902G3056G4314G1438G4802G5101G450G1537G3498G207611And they asked him, "Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?"G2532G1905G846G3004G3754G3004G1122G3754G2243G1163G4412G206412Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected?G1161G611G2036G846G2243G3303G2064G4412G600G3956G2532G4459G1125G1909G5207G444G2443G3958G4183G2532G184713But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him."G235G3004G5213G3754G2243G2064G2532G2064G2532G4160G846G3745G2309G2531G1125G1909G84614When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them.G2532G2064G4314G3101G1492G4183G3793G4012G846G2532G1122G4802G84615As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.G2532G2112G3956G3793G1492G846G1568G2532G4370G782G84616"What are you arguing with them about?" he asked.G2532G1905G1122G5101G4802G4314G84617A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech.G2532G1520G1537G3793G611G2036G1320G5342G4314G4571G3450G5207G2192G216G415118Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not."G2532G3699G302G2638G846G4486G846G2532G875G2532G5149G846G3599G2532G3583G2532G2036G4675G3101G2443G1544G846G1544G2532G2480G375619"You unbelieving generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me."G611G846G1161G3004G5599G571G1074G2193G4219G2071G4314G5209G2193G4219G430G5216G5342G846G4314G316520So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.G2532G5342G846G4314G846G2532G1492G846G2112G4151G4682G846G2532G4098G1909G1093G2947G87521Jesus asked the boy's father, "How long has he been like this?" "From childhood," he answered.G2532G1905G846G3962G4214G2076G5550G5613G5124G1096G846G1161G2036G381222"It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."G2532G4178G906G846G2532G1519G4442G2532G1519G5204G2443G622G846G235G1536G1410G1536G4697G1909G2248G997G225423" 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes."G1161G2424G2036G846G1487G1410G4100G3956G1415G846G410024Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"G2532G2112G3962G3813G2896G3004G3326G1144G2962G4100G997G3450G57025When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the evil spirit. "You deaf and mute spirit," he said, "I command you, come out of him and never enter him again."G1161G2424G1492G3754G3793G1998G2008G169G4151G3004G846G216G2532G2974G4151G1473G2004G4671G1831G1537G846G2532G1525G3371G1519G84626The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, "He's dead."G2532G2896G2532G4682G846G4183G1831G2532G1096G5616G3498G5620G3754G4183G3004G59927But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.G1161G2424G2902G846G5495G1453G846G1453G2532G45028After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"G2532G846G1525G1519G3624G846G3101G1905G846G2596G2398G3754G1410G3756G2249G1544G846G154429He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer. "G2532G2036G846G5124G1085G1410G1831G1722G3762G1508G1722G4335G2532G352130They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were,G2532G1831G1564G3899G1223G1056G2532G2309G3756G2443G5100G109731because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered over to human hands. He will be killed, and after three days he will rise."G1063G1321G846G3101G2532G3004G846G3754G5207G444G3860G1519G5495G444G2532G615G846G2532G615G450G5154G225032But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.G1161G50G4487G2532G5399G1905G84633They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?"G2532G2064G1519G2584G2532G1096G1722G3614G1905G846G5101G1260G4314G1438G1722G359834But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.G1161G4623G1063G1722G3598G1256G4314G240G5101G318735Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all."G2532G2523G5455G1427G2532G3004G846G1536G2309G1511G4413G2071G2078G3956G2532G1249G395636He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,G2532G2983G3813G2476G846G1722G3319G846G2532G1723G846G1723G2036G84637"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."G3739G1437G1209G1520G5108G3813G1909G3450G3686G1209G1691G2532G3739G1437G1209G1691G1209G3756G1691G235G649G316538"Teacher," said John, "we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us."G1161G2491G611G846G3004G1320G1492G5100G1544G1140G4675G3686G3739G190G3756G2254G2532G2967G846G3754G190G3756G225439"Do not stop him," Jesus said. "No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me,G1161G2424G2036G2967G846G3361G1063G2076G3762G3739G4160G1411G1909G3450G3686G2532G1410G5035G2551G316540for whoever is not against us is for us.G1063G3739G2076G3756G2596G2257G2076G5228G2257G522841Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly be rewarded.G1063G3739G302G4222G5209G4221G5204G4222G1722G3450G3686G3754G2075G5547G281G3004G5213G622G3364G622G846G340842"If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.G2532G3739G302G4624G1520G3398G4100G1519G1691G2076G2570G3123G846G1487G3037G3457G4029G4012G846G5137G2532G906G1519G228143If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off.

It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,G2532G1437G4675G3788G4624G4571G1544G846G1544G2076G2570G4671G1525G1519G932G2316G3442G2228G2192G1417G3788G906G1519G1067G444248where " 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'G3699G846G4663G5053G3756G2532G4442G4570G3756G457049Everyone will be salted with fire.G1063G3956G233G4442G2532G3956G2378G233G25150"Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again?
