Luke 9:26-40

²⁶For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when be cometh in his glory, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷And I tell you in truth, that there are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.

²⁸And it came to pass about eight days after this discourse, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

²⁹And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment became white and glistening.

³⁰And lo! two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah;

³¹who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.

³²But Peter and those who were with him were weighed down with sleep. But when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

³³And it came to pass as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;—not knowing what he said.

³⁴But as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

³⁵And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is my chosen Son; hear him.”

³⁶And when the voice had come, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret, and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

³⁷And it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

³⁸And lo! a man from the multitude cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child;

³⁹and lo! a spirit seizeth him, and suddenly crieth out, and convulseth him so that he foameth, and it departeth from him hardly, taking away all his strength.

⁴⁰And I besought thy disciples to cast it out, and they could not.
