1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1Then He said to them, "I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come in power."
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves to be alone. He was transformed in front of them,
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3and His clothes became dazzling--extremely white as no launderer on earth could whiten them.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it's good for us to be here! Let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6because he did not know what he should say, since they were terrified.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7A cloud appeared, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud: This is My beloved Son; listen to Him!
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Then suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus alone.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9As they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10They kept this word to themselves, discussing what "rising from the dead" meant.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11Then they began to question Him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12"Elijah does come first and restores everything," He replied. "How then is it written about the Son of Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13But I tell you that Elijah really has come, and they did whatever they pleased to him, just as it is written about him."
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes disputing with them.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15All of a sudden, when the whole crowd saw Him, they were amazed and ran to greet Him.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16Then He asked them, "What are you arguing with them about?"
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17Out of the crowd, one man answered Him, "Teacher, I brought my son to You. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't."
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19He replied to them, "You unbelieving generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to Me."
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20So they brought him to Him. When the spirit saw Him, it immediately convulsed the boy. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21"How long has this been happening to him?" Jesus asked his father." From childhood," he said. "
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22And many times it has thrown him into fire or water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23Then Jesus said to him, "'If You can? Everything is possible to the one who believes."
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24Immediately the father of the boy cried out, "I do believe! Help my unbelief."
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly coming together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You mute and deaf spirit, I command you: come out of him and never enter him again!"
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26Then it came out, shrieking and convulsing him violently. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, "He's dead."
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27But Jesus, taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28After He went into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29And He told them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30Then they left that place and made their way through Galilee, but He did not want anyone to know it.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, "The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after He is killed, He will rise three days later."
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33Then they came to Capernaum. When He was in the house, He asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?"
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34But they were silent, because on the way they had been arguing with one another about who was the greatest.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35Sitting down, He called the Twelve and said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36Then He took a child, had him stand among them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them,
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37"Whoever welcomes one little child such as this in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me does not welcome Me, but Him who sent Me."
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38John said to Him, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him because he wasn't following us."
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39"Don't stop him," said Jesus, "because there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name who can soon afterward speak evil of Me.
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40For whoever is not against us is for us.
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41And whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of My name, since you belong to the Messiah--I assure you: He will never lose his reward.
42[an error occurred while processing this directive]42"But whoever causes the downfall of one of these little ones who believe in Me--it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
43[an error occurred while processing this directive]43And if your hand causes your downfall, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and go to hell--the unquenchable fire,
44[an error occurred while processing this directive]44where Their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
45[an error occurred while processing this directive]45And if your foot causes your downfall, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell-- the unquenchable fire,
46[an error occurred while processing this directive]46 where Their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
47[an error occurred while processing this directive]47And if your eye causes your downfall, gouge it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,
48[an error occurred while processing this directive]48where Their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
49[an error occurred while processing this directive]49For everyone will be salted with fire.
50[an error occurred while processing this directive]50Salt is good, but if the salt should lose its flavor, how can you make it salty? Have salt among yourselves and be at peace with one another."
