Matthew - ch 17 v 1 - 20
- And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
- And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.
- And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.
- And Peter answering, said to 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 as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.
- And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
- And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not.
- And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus.
- And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
- And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?
- But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.
- But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.
- Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
- And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.
- And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
- Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
- And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.
- Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?
- Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
- But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
