“This Is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!”

We will be studying, the Transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-13, Mark 9:2-13 and Luke 9:28-36; Faith and the casting out of demons through fasting and praying in Matthew 17:14-23, Mark 9:14-32, and Luke 9:37-45; And our last section on how to be a Disciple of Christ in Matthew 17:24-18:9, Mark 9:33-50 and Luke 9:46-50.  May the Lord and a blessing to the reading and hearing of His Word.  

Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.” Matthew 17:1-3,5-7,9 - NKJV  

And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!” Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves. Mark 9:7-8 - NKJV   

And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!” When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.  Luke 9:35-36 - NKJV
