And He said to them, “Truly, I say to you that there are some standing here who shall not taste of death at all until they see the reign of Elohim having come in power:"
And after six days יהושע took Kĕpha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yoḥanan, and led them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. And He was transformed before them.
And His garments became glittering, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth is able to whiten.
And there appeared to them Ěliyahu with Mosheh, and they were talking with יהושע.
And Kĕpha responding, said to יהושע, “Rabbi, 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,”
because he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.
And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!”
And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them, but only יהושע.
And as they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them not to relate to anyone what they saw, till the Son of Aḏam had risen from the dead.
And they kept this matter to themselves, debating what the rising from the dead meant.
And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Ěliyahu has to come first?”
And He said to them, “Ěliyahu indeed, having come first, restores all matters. And how has it been written concerning the Son of Aḏam, that He is to suffer much and be despised?
But I say to you that even Ěliyahu has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it has been written of him.
And coming to the taught ones, He saw a large crowd around them, and scribes disputing with them.
And immediately, when all the crowd saw Him, they were greatly astonished, and running near, greeted Him.
And He asked the scribes, “What are you disputing with them?”
And one of the crowd answering, said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a dumb spirit.
And wherever he seizes him, he throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and gnashes his teeth, and he wastes away. And I spoke to Your taught ones, that they should cast him out, but they were not able.
And He answered him and said, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me.”
So they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into convulsions. And falling on the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
And He asked his father, “How long has he been like this?” And he said, “From childhood,
and often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if it is at all possible for You, have compassion on us and help us.”
And יהושע said to him, “If you are able to believe, all is possible to him who believes.”
And immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “I believe Master, help my unbelief!”
And when יהושע saw that a crowd came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You deaf and dumb spirit, I order you, come out of him, and never again enter into him!”
And crying out, and convulsing him much, it came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said that he was dead.
But יהושע, taking him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
And when He came into a house, His taught ones asked Him separately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
And He said to them, “It is impossible for this kind to come out except through prayer and fasting.”
