MATT. 17. 3-And, behold, there appeared unto them LUKE 9.30-two men, which were Moses and Elias: MARK 9. 4-and they were talking with Jesus, LUKE 9.31-who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 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. 33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: MATT. 17. 4-if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. MARK 9. 6-For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. MATT. 17, 5--While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: LUKE 9. 34-and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, MATT. 17 5-which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. LUKE 9.36-And when the voice was past, MATT. 17. 7-Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

MATT. 17. 10-And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things; MARK 9. 12-and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. MATT. 17. 12-But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have' done unto him whatsoever they listed, MARK 9. 13-as it is written of him. MATT. 17. 12-Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. LUKE 9.37-When they were come down from the hill, much people met him. Jesus heals a demoniac. MARK 9.14-And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. 15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 16 And he asked the scribes, What question yo with them? MATT. 17. 14-And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, MARK 9. 17-Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; LUKE 9. 38-I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. MATT. 17. 15-Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

MATT. 17. 16-And I brought him to thy disciples, MARK 9, 18-that they should cast him out; 17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? LUKE 9. 41-Bring thy son hither. MARK 9. 20-And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? and he said, Öf a child. 22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. MATT. 17. 18-And the child was cured from that very hour. LUKE 9, 42-And (he) delivered him again to father.

MARK 9. 28-And when he was come into the house, MATT. 17. 19-Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and MARK 9. 28-asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? MATT. 17. 20-And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind MARK 9.29-can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
