LUKE 9:28-62
9:28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter 
and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his 
raiment was white and glistering.
9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish 
at Jerusalem.
9:32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they 
were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
9:33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto 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: not knowing what he said.
9:34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they 
feared as they entered into the cloud.
9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: 
hear him.
9:36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it 
close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
9:37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from 
the hill, much people met him.
9:38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech 
thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
9:39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth 
him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
9:40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
9:41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long 
shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And 
Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again 
to his father.
9:43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they 
wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
9:44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be 
delivered into the hands of men.
9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they 
perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
9:46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
9:47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set 
him by him,
9:48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name 
receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he 
that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy 
name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
9:50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is 
for us.
9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, 
he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a 
village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go 
to Jerusalem.
9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou 
that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias 
did?
9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of 
spirit ye are of.
9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. 
And they went to another village.
9:57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said 
unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have 
nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to 
go and bury my father.
9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach 
the kingdom of God.
9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid 
them farewell, which are at home at my house.
9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and 
looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
