17

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.

In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:

And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.

And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
