ABU(i)
1 AND he said to them: Verily I say to you, that there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God already come with power.
2 And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up into a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them.
3 And his garments became shining, exceeding white as snow, such as no fuller on earth can whiten.
4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answering said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 For he knew not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud: This is my beloved Son; hear ye him.
8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw any one, but Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate what they had seen to no one, except when the Son of man shall have risen from the dead.
10 And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves, what is the rising from the dead.
11 And they asked him, saying: Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
12 And he said to them: Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. And how is it written of the Son of man? That he must suffer many things, and be set at naught.
13 But I say to you, that Elijah also has come, and they did to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.
14 And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them.
15 And straightway all the multitude seeing him were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16 And he asked them: What question ye with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered him: Teacher, I brought to thee my son, having a dumb spirit.
18 And wherever it lays hold of him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and he pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast it out; and they could not.
19 And he answering, says to them: O faithless 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 seeing him, straightway the spirit rent him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father: How long is it, since this came upon him? And he said: From a child.
22 And ofttimes it cast him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But if thou art able to do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said to him: If thou art able! All things are possible to the believing.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said: I believe; help thou my unbelief.
25 And Jesus, seeing that a multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him: Dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more.
26 And crying out, and rending him sorely, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that many said: He is dead.
27 But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could not we cast it out?
29 And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.
30 And going forth from thence, they passed through Galilee and he would not that any one should know it.
31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them: The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him and when he is killed, after three days he will rise again.
32 But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And they came to Capernaum. And having come into the house he inquired of them: Of what were ye reasoning among yourselves by the way?
34 But they were silent; for by the way they had disputed with one another, who was greatest.
35 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and says to them: If any one desires to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And taking a child, he placed it in the midst of them; and folding it in his arms, he said to them:
37 Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me and whoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him who sent me.
38 And John answered him, saying: Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, who follows not us; and we forbade him, because he follows not us.
39 But Jesus said: Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and can lightly speak evil of me.
40 For he that is not against us is for us.
41 For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in that name, that ye are Christ's, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to offend, it is better for him that an upper millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands to go into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable;
44 where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable;
46 where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out. It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire;
48 where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good; but if the salt become saltless, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
