Luqas (Luke) 9:28-62

And it came to be, about eight days after these words, taking with Him Kĕpha and Yoḥanan and Ya‛aqoḇ, He went up to the mountain to pray. And it came to be, as He prayed, the appearance of His face changed, and His garment dazzling white. And see, two men were talking with Him, who were Mosheh and Ěliyahu, who having appeared in esteem, spoke of His death which He was about to complete at Yerushalayim. But Kĕpha and those with him were heavy with sleep. And having awakened, they saw His esteem and the two men standing with Him. And it came to be, as they were parting from Him, Kĕpha said to יהושע, “Master, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three booths: one for You, and one for Mosheh, and one for Ěliyahu,” not knowing what he said. And as he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And they were afraid as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!” And when the voice had spoken, יהושע was found alone. And they were silent, and reported to no one in those days any of what they had seen. And it came to be on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that a large crowd met Him. And see, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg You, look at my son, for he is my only child. “And see, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him, with foaming, and scarcely leaves him, bruising him. “And I begged Your taught ones to cast it out, but they were unable.” And יהושע answering, said, “O generation, unbelieving and perverse, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.” And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down in convulsions. And יהושע rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father. And they were all amazed at the greatness of Elohim. And while all were marvelling at all that יהושע did, He said to His taught ones, Lay up in your ears these words, for the Son of Aḏam is about to be delivered into the hands of men. But they did not understand this saying, and it was veiled from them so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask Him about this saying. And a reasoning arose among them, who might be the greater of them. And יהושע, having seen the reasoning of their heart, took a little child and placed him by His side, and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My Name receives Me. And whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all, he shall be great.” And Yoḥanan answering, said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your Name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.” But יהושע said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.” And it came to be, when the days of His taking up were being completed, even He set His face to go to Yerushalayim, and He sent messengers ahead of Him. And they went and entered into a village of the Shomeronim, to prepare for Him. And they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Yerushalayim. And His taught ones, Ya‛aqoḇ and Yoḥanan, seeing it said, “Master, do You wish us to command fire to come down from the heaven and destroy them, as also Ěliyahu But having turned, He rebuked them and said, “You do not know of what spirit you are, for the Son of Aḏam did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went on to another village. And it came to be, as they journeyed on the way, that someone said to Him, “Master, I shall follow You wherever You go.” And יהושע said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven nests, but the Son of Aḏam has nowhere to lay His head.” And He said to another, “Follow Me,” but he said, “Master, let me first go and bury my father.” And יהושע said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and announce the reign of Elohim.” And another also said, “Master, I shall follow You, but let me first say good-bye to those in my house.” But יהושע said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of Elohim.”
