back his life? 016:027 For the Son of Man is soon to come in the glory of the Father with His angels, and then will He requite every man according to his actions. 016:028 I solemnly tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom." 017:001 Six day later, Jesus took with Him Peter and the brothers James and John, and brought them up a high mountain to a solitary place. 017:002 There in their presence His form underwent a change; His face shone like the sun, and His raiment became as white as the light. 017:003 And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them conversing with Him. 017:004 Then Peter said to Jesus, "Master, we are thankful to you that we are here. If you approve, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 017:005 He was still speaking when a luminous cloud spread over them; and a voice was heard from within the cloud, which said, "This is My Son dearly beloved, in whom is My delight. Listen to Him." 017:006 On hearing this voice, the disciples fell on their faces and were filled with terror. 017:007 But Jesus came and touched them, and said, "Rouse yourselves and have no fear." 017:008 So they looked up, and saw no one but Jesus. 017:009 As they were descending the mountain, Jesus laid a command upon them. "Tell no one," He said, "of the sight you have seen till the Son of Man has risen from among the dead." |
