§ 84. THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN IN THAT GENERATION

Mark 8:38-9:1Matt. 16:27-28Luke 9:26-27
38 For whosoever
shall be ashamed of
me and of my words
in this adulterous and
sinful generation, the
Son of man also shall
be ashamed of him,
when he cometh in
the glory of his Father
with the holy angels.
1 And he said unto
them, Verily I say
unto you, There be
some here of them
that stand by, which
shall in no wise taste
of death, till they
see the kingdom of
God come with power.
27 For the
Son of man shall
come in the glory of
his Father with his
angels; and then shall
he render unto every
man according to his
1deeds [see Ps. 62:12;
Prov. 24:12]. 28 Verily
I say unto you, There
be some of them that
stand here, which
shall in no wise taste
of death, till they
see the Son of man
coming in his kingdom. 		26 For whosoever
shall be ashamed of me
and of my words, of
him shall the Son of
man be ashamed, when
he cometh in his own
glory, and the glory
of the Father, and of
the holy angels. 27 But
I tell you of a truth,
There be some of
them that stand here,
which shall in no
wise taste of death,
till they see the
kingdom of God.

§ 85. THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS ON A MOUNTAIN (PROBABLY HERMONa) NEAR CÆSAREA PHILIPPI

Mark 9:2-8Matt. 17:1-8Luke 9:28-36
2 And after six days
Jesus taketh with him
Peter, and James, and
John, and bringeth
them up into a high
mountain apart by
themselves: and he
was transfigured
before them: 3 and
his garments became
glistering, exceeding
white; so as no fuller
on earth can whiten
them. 4 And there
appeared unto them
Elijah with Moses:
and they were talking
with Jesus.

5 And Peter
answereth and saith
to Jesus, Rabbi, it
is good for us to be
here: and let us make
three 1tabernacles,b
one for thee, and one
for Moses, and one for
Elijah. 6 For he wist
not what to answer;
for they became sore
afraid. 7 And there
came a cloud
overshadowing them:
and there came a voice
out of the cloud, This
is my beloved Son:
hear ye him [see Deut.
18:15; Isa. 42:1;
Ps. 2:7].c
8 And
suddenly looking
round about, they
saw no one any more,
save Jesus only with
themselves. 		1 And after six days
Jesus taketh with him
Peter, and James, and
John his brother, and
bringeth them up into
a high mountain
apart: 2 and he was
transfigured before
them: and his face did
shine as the sun, and
his garments became
white as the light.
3 And behold, there
appeared unto them
Moses and Elijah
talking with him.

4 And Peter
answered, and said unto
Jesus, Lord, it is good
for us to be here: if
thou wilt, I will make
here three 1tabernacles;
one for thee, and
one for Moses, and
one for Elijah.
5 While he was yet
speaking, behold, a
bright cloud
overshadowed them:
and behold, a voice out
of the cloud, saying,
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. 7 And Jesus
came and touched
them and said, Arise,
and be not afraid.
8 And lifting up their
eyes, they saw no
one, save Jesus only. 		28 And it came to
pass about eight days
after these sayings, he
took with him Peter
and John and James,
and went up into the
mountain to pray.
29 And as he was
praying, the fashion
of his countenance was
altered, and his raiment
became white
and dazzling. 30 And
behold, there talked
with him two men,
which were Moses
and Elijah; 31 who
appeared in glory, and
spake of his 2decease
which he was about
to accomplish at
Jerusalem. 32 Now
Peter and they that
were with him, were
heavy with sleep: but
3when they were fully
awake, they saw his
glory, and the two
men that stood with
him. 33 And it came
to pass, as they were
parting from him,
Peter said unto Jesus,
Master, it is good for
us to be here: and let us
make three 1tabernacles;
one for thee,
and one for Moses,
and one for Elijah:
not knowing what he
said. 34 And while he
said these things,
there came a cloud,
and overshadowed
them: and they feared
as they entered into
the cloud. 35 And
a voice came out of
the cloud, saying,
This is 4my Son, my
chosen: hear ye him.
36 And when the
voice 5came, Jesus
was found alone.

1 Or, booths.

2 Or, departure.

3 Or, having remained awake.

4 Many ancient authorities read my beloved Son. See Matt. 17:5; Mark 9:7.
