Mark 9:1-29

And he said to them, ‘Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.’ And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them, and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten [them]. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter answering saith to Jesus, ‘Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:’ for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid. And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is My Son — the Beloved, hear ye him;’ and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves. And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead; and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is. And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first. And he answering said to them, ‘Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought? But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.’ And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them, and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him. And he questioned the scribes, ‘What dispute ye with them?’ and one out of the multitude answering said, ‘Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit; and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.’ And he answering him, said, ‘O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;’ and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing — foaming. And he questioned his father, ‘How long time is it since this came to him?’ and he said, ‘From childhood, and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;’ and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, ‘I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.’ Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, ‘Spirit — dumb and deaf — I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;’ and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead, but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose. And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself — ‘Why were we not able to cast it forth?’ And he said to them, ‘This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.’
