Memory Verses, l-5.

! And after six days Jesus taketh Peter,
James, and John his brother, and bringeth
them up into high mountain apart.
And was transtgured before them; and
his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment
was white as the light
And. behold, there appeared unto them
Noses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Je-
sus, Lord, it is good for us to be here if thou
wilt, let US make here three tabernacles; one
for thee. one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake behold, a bright
cloud overshadowed them; and behold a
voice out of the cloud, which said. This is my
beloved Son. in whom l am we'll pleased ;
hear ye him.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell
on their face, and were sore afraid.
And Jesus came and touched them, and
said, Arise, and be not afraid.
And when they had lifted up their eyes,
they saw no man save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the noun
tain, Jesus charged them, saying. Tell the
vision to no man. until the Son of man be
risen again from the dead.
10 Ana his disciples asked him, saying,
Why then say the scribes that Elias must
first come?
ii And Jesus answered and said unto them
Elias truly shall first come, and restore all
things.
" But say unto you That Elias is come
already, and they knew him not, but have
done unto him whatsoever they listed. Like
wise Shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
l3 Then the disciples understood that he
spake unto them of John the Baptist.
