1 And He said to them, Truly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God coming with power.2 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, Jacob, and John, and led them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.3 And His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no fuller on earth is able to whiten them.4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah;6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son. Hear Him.8 And suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.9 Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man should rise from the dead.10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what rising from the dead might be.11 And they asked Him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?12 And He answered and said to them, Truly, Elijah comes first and restores all things. And how it is written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt.13 But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.14 And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them.15 And immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him.16 And He questioned the scribes, What are you disputing with them?17 And one of the crowd answered and said, Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams, gnashes his teeth, and withers away. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they were not able.19 He answered him and said, O unbelieving generation. How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.20 And they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming.21 So He asked his father, How long has this been happening to him? And he said, From childhood.22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You are able to do anything, have compassion on us and help us.23 Jesus said to him, If you are able to believe, all things are possible to him who believes.24 And immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Deaf and mute spirit, I command you, Come out of him and enter him no more.26 And the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as if dead, so that many said, He has died.27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could we not cast it out?29 And He said to them, This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.30 And they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.31 For He taught His disciples and said to them, The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third day.32 But they did not understand this word, and were afraid to ask Him.33 And He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?34 But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves as to who was greater.35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.36 And He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them,37 Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.38 And John answered Him, saying, Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.39 But Jesus said, Do not forbid him, for no one who does a work of power in My name will soon afterward be able to speak evil of Me.40 For he who is not against us is on our behalf.41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, Truly, I say to you, He will by no means lose his reward.42 But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck, and he be thrown into the sea.43 If your hand makes you stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to Gehenna, into the fire that shall never be quenched;44 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.45 And if your foot makes you stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that shall never be quenched;46 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.47 And if your eye makes you stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into the fire of Gehenna;48 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.50 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.

1 And aftir sixe daies Jhesus took Petre, and James, and Joon, and ledde hem bi hem silf aloone in to an hiy hille; and he was transfigurid bifor hem.2 And hise clothis weren maad ful schynynge and white as snow, whiche maner white clothis a fuller may not make on erthe.3 And Helie with Moises apperide to hem, and thei spaken with Jhesu.4 And Petre answeride, and seide to Jhesu, Maister, it is good vs to be here; and make we here thre tabernaclis, oon to thee, oon to Moyses, and oon to Helie.5 For he wiste not what he schulde seie; for thei weren agaste bi drede.6 And ther was maad a cloude overschadewynge hem; and a vois cam of the cloude, and seide, This is my moost derworth sone, here ye hym.7 And anoon thei bihelden aboute, and sayn no more ony man, but Jhesu oonli with hem.8 And whanne thei camen doun fro the hille, he comaundide hem, that thei schulden not telle to ony man tho thingis that thei hadden seen, but whanne mannus sone hath risun ayen fro deeth.9 And thei helden the word at hem silf, sekynge what this schulde be, whanne he hadde risun ayen fro deth.10 And thei axiden hym, and seiden, What thanne seien Farisees and scribis, for it bihoueth `Helie to come first.11 And he answeride, and seide to hem, Whanne Helie cometh, he schal first restore alle thingis; and as it is writun of mannus sone, that he suffre many thingis, and be dispisid.12 And Y seie to you, that Helie is comun, and thei diden to hym what euer thingis thei wolden, as it is writun of hym.13 And he comynge to hise disciplis, saiy a greet cumpany aboute hem, and scribis disputynge with hem.14 And anoon al the puple seynge Jhesu, was astonyed, and thei dredden; and thei rennynge gretten hym.15 And he axide hem, What disputen ye among you?16 And oon of the cumpany answerde, and seide, Mayster, Y haue brouyt to thee my sone, that hath a doumbe spirit; and where euer he takith hym,17 he hurtlith hym doun, and he fometh, and betith togidir with teeth, and wexith drye. And Y seide to thi disciplis, that thei schulden caste hym out, and thei myyten not.18 And he answeride to hem, and seide, A! thou generacioun out of bileue, hou longe schal Y be among you, hou longe schal Y suffre you? Brynge ye hym to me.19 And thei brouyten hym. And whanne he had seyn him, anoon the spirit troublide him; and was throw doun to grounde, and walewide, and fomede.20 And he axide his fadir, Hou longe `is it, sith this `hath falle to hym? And he seide, Fro childhode;21 and ofte he hath put hym in to fier, and in to watir, to leese hym; but if thou maiste ony thing, helpe vs, and haue merci on vs.22 And Jhesus seide to hym, If thou maiste bileue, alle thingis ben possible to man that bileueth.23 And anoon the fadir of the child criede with teeris, and seide, Lord, Y bileue; Lord, helpe thou myn vnbileue.24 And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn the puple rennynge togidere, he manasside the vnclene spirit, and seide to hym, Thou deef and doumbe spirit, Y comaunde thee, go out fro hym, and entre no more in to hym.25 And he criynge, and myche to breidynge him, wente out fro hym; and he was maad as deed, so that many seiden, that he was deed.26 And Jhesus helde his hoond, and lifte hym vp; and he roos.27 And whanne he hadde entrid in to an hous, hise disciplis axiden hym priueli, Whi myyten not we caste hym out?28 And he seide to hem, This kynde in no thing may go out, but in preier and fastyng.29 And thei yeden fro thennus, and wente forth in to Galile; and thei wolden not, that ony man wiste.30 And he tauyte hise disciplis, and seide to hem, For mannus sone schal be bitrayed in to the hondis of men, and thei schulen sle hym, and he slayn schal ryse ayen on the thridde day.31 And thei knewen not the word, and dredden to axe hym.32 And thei camen to Cafarnaum. And whanne thei weren in the hous, he axide hem, What tretiden ye in the weie?33 And thei weren stille; for thei disputiden among hem in the weie, who of hem schulde be grettest.34 And he sat, and clepide the twelue, and seide to hem, If ony man wole be the firste among you, he schal be the laste of alle, and the mynyster of alle.35 And he took a child, and sette hym in the myddil of hem; and whanne he hadde biclippid hym, he seide to hem,36 Who euer resseyueth oon of such children in my name, he resseyueth me; and who euer resseyueth me, he resseyueth not me aloone, but hym that sente me.37 Joon answeride to hym, and seide, Maister, we sayn oon castynge out feendis in thi name, which sueth not vs, and we han forbodun hym.38 And Jhesus seide, Nyle ye forbede him; for ther is no man that doith vertu in my name, and may soone speke yuel of me.39 He that is not ayens vs, is for vs.40 And who euer yyueth you a cuppe of coold water to drynke in my name, for ye ben of Crist, treuli Y seie to you, he schal not leese his mede.41 And who euer schal sclaundre oon of these litle that bileuen in me, it were betere to hym that a mylne stoon `of assis were don aboute his necke, and he were cast in to the see.42 And if thin hoond sclaundre thee, kitte it awey; it is betere to thee to entre feble in to lijf, than haue two hondis, and go in to helle, in to fier that neuer schal be quenchid,43 where the worm of hem dieth not, and the fier is not quenchid.44 And if thi foote sclaundre thee, kitte it of; it is betere to thee to entre crokid in to euerlastynge lijf, than haue twei feet, and be sent in to helle of fier, that neuer schal be quenchid,45 where the worme of hem dieth not, and the fier is not quenchid.46 That if thin iye sclaundre thee, cast it out; it is betere to thee to entre gogil iyed in to the reume of God, than haue twey iyen, and be sent in to helle of fier, where the worme of hem dieth not,47 and the fier is not quenchid.48 And euery man schal be saltid with fier, and euery slayn sacrifice schal be maad sauery with salt.49 Salt is good; if salt be vnsauery, in what thing schulen ye make it sauery? Haue ye salt among you, and haue ye pees among you.
