power.
2: 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.

white them.

only with themselves.
9: 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.

rising from the dead should mean.
11: And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?

nought.

they listed, as it is written of him.

17: And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son,
which hath a dumb spirit;
18: 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.
19: He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how
long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

a child.

hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the
third day.

disputed among yourselves by the way?
34: But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who
should be the greatest.

first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

45: And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into

47: And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the
