Luke 9:26-40

²⁶Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of the Man will be ashamed of Him, whenever He comes in the glory—His, and the Father's, and of the holy angels.

²⁷However, I tell you truly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God!”

²⁸Now about eight days after these words, it happened that He took along Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

²⁹And as He prayed, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing dazzling white.

³⁰And then, two men started talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah;

³¹they appeared in glory and were explaining His ‘departure’, that He was about to bring to fruition in Jerusalem.

³²Now Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; but becoming fully awake, they saw His glory, and the two men who stood with Him.

³³Then it happened: as they were parting from Him, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here” and “Should we make three shelters: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah?”—not knowing what he was saying.

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

³⁵And a Voice came out of the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

³⁶When the Voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. (They kept quiet and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.)

³⁷Now it happened on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that a large crowd met Him.

³⁸And then, a man from the crowd called out, saying: “Teacher, I beg you, look upon my son, for he is my only begotten.

³⁹And oh, a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams, and it convulses him with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, destroying him!

⁴⁰And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
