ometh in the glory of his Father
with the holy angels."

And he said unto them:

"Verily I say unto you. That there be some of them that stand here,
which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God
come with power."

CHAPTER IX

STRONG SON OF GOD

And after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John,
and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he
was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining,
exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. And
there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with
Jesus.

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be
here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for
Moses, and one for Elias." For he wist not what to say; for they were
sore afraid. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice
came out of the cloud, saying:

"This is my beloved Son: hear him."

And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any
more, save Jesus only with themselves.

And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they
should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were
risen from the dead. And they kept that saying with themselves,
questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

And they asked him, saying, "Why say the scribes that Elias must first
come?"

restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he
must suffer many things, and be set at nought. But I say unto you,

listed, as it is written of him."

And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them,
and the scribes questioning with them. And straightway all the people,
when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted
him.

And he asked the scribes, "What question ye with them?"

And one of the multitude answered and said, "Master, I have brought
unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; and wheresoever he taketh
him he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and
pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him
out; and they could not."

He answereth him, and saith, "O faithless generation, how long shall I
be with you? How long shall I suffer you
