The Transfiguration

1 ^gAnd after six days Jesus took with him ^hPeter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 And he was ⁱtransfigured before them, and ^jhis face shone like the sun, and ^khis clothes became white as light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4 And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for ^lElijah.” 5 He was still speaking when, behold, ^ma bright cloud overshadowed them, and ^ma voice from the cloud said, ⁿ“This is my beloved Son,¹ with whom I am well pleased; ^olisten to him.” 6 When ^pthe disciples heard this, ^qthey fell on their faces and were terrified. 7 But Jesus came and ^rtouched them, saying, “Rise, and ^shave no fear.” 8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

9 ^tAnd as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, ^u“Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

Jesus Heals a Boy with a Demon

14 ^aAnd when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and, kneeling before him, 15 said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he has ^bseizures and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, and ^cthey could not heal him.” 17 And Jesus answered, “O faithless and ^dtwisted generation, how long am I to be with you? ^eHow long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.” 18 And Jesus ^frebuked the demon,¹ and it² came out of him, and ^gthe boy was healed instantly.³ 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 He said to them, ^h“Because of your little faith. For ⁱtruly, I say to you, ^jif you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, ^kyou will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and ^lnothing will be impossible for you.”⁴
