GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 17:1-13

1 - Six days laterJesus took with him Peter and the brothers James and John, and went up a high mountain, 2 where he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became radiant and white as light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. (A vision.) 4 And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here! If you wish, I will make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (It was Tabernacle week?) 5 He was still speaking when a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased, hear and listen to him.” 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were afraid, 7 but Jesus came, touched them, and said, “Rise, and have no fear.” 8 And when they looked up, they saw no one but Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from death.” 10 And the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” 11 He answered, “Elijah does come, and he will restore all things. 12 But I tell you that (the spirit and power like) Elijah did come, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist (the baptizer).

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ Romans 15:14-21 ~

14 - I am confident about you, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, and all knowledge and are able to instruct one another. 15 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder. This is because of the grace given to me by God 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles (nonHebrew nations) in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, made sacred by the Holy Spirit. 17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God! 18 For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience of following the way, by word and deed, 19 and the power of signs and wonders, by the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I (Paul) have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ. 20 And so I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been proclaimed, lest I build on someone else's foundation, 21 but as it is written, “Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.” (A repeating pattern, like widening ripples of a pond.)
