34

Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.

35

And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

36

And while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.

37

But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.

38

And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you, look kindly on my son, for he is my only son.

39

And behold, a spirit takes hold of him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him down and convulses him, so that he foams. And though it tears him apart, it leaves him only with difficulty.

And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”
