C.R.P. Day 294 - Matthew 17; Mark 9

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, John and let them up on the high mountain; Jesus was transfigured before them and his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as the light; Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus before Peter, James and John; YHVH appeared in the cloud and said “This my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear him!“ then Jesus appears to them and he commands them to not tell about the vision until the son of man is risen from the dead; his disciples ask him why did the scribe say that Elijah must come first? The disciples understand that Jesus is speaking of John the Baptist; Jesus heals the epileptic from a demon; Jesus is the only one that can heal him and he tells the disciples that this kind is not go out except my prayer and fasting; Peter is asked if Jesus pays the temple tax; Jesus tells Peter to go to the sea, cast a hook, and take from the fishes mouth the piece of money that he will find in it; The disciples discussed among themselves who will become the greatest but they keep silent about it to Jesus; Jesus takes a little child and says whoever receives one of these little children in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives not me but him who sent me; Jesus tells his disciples to not for bid others who cast out demons in his name; Jesus tells the disciples it is better to cut it off then it is to have two hands, 2 feet, both eyes and enter into hellfire;
