And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

Now about eight days after these sayings, Jesus took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray.

About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him. He began to be sad and troubled.Then he said to them,“ My soul is very sad. I feel close to death. Stay here. Keep watch with me.”He went a little farther. Then he fell with his face to the ground. He prayed,“ My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering away from me. But let what you want be done, not what I want.”

It was very early in the morning and still dark. Jesus got up and left the house. He went to a place where he could be alone. There he prayed.

One day Jesus was praying alone. Only his disciples were with him. He asked them,“ Who do the crowds say I am?”

They bring charges against me, even though I love them and pray for them.

After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.

When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let everyone go in with him. He took only Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother.

After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him. He led them up a high mountain. They were all alone. There in front of them his appearance was changed.His clothes became so white they shone. They were whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.Elijah and Moses appeared in front of Jesus and his disciples. The two of them were talking with Jesus.Peter said to Jesus,“ Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters. One will be for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”Peter didn’t really know what to say, because they were so afraid.Then a cloud appeared and covered them. A voice came from the cloud. It said,“ This is my Son, and I love him. Listen to him!”They looked around. Suddenly they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.They came down the mountain. On the way down, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen. He told them to wait until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.So they kept the matter to themselves. But they asked each other what“ rising from the dead” meant.Then they asked Jesus,“ Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah has to come first?”Jesus replied,“ That’s right. Elijah does come first. He makes all things new again. So why is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and not be accepted?I tell you, Elijah has come. They have done to him everything they wanted to do. They did it just as it is written about him.”

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John the brother of James with him. He led them up a high mountain. They were all alone.There in front of them his appearance was changed. His face shone like the sun. His clothes became as white as the light.Just then Moses and Elijah appeared in front of them. Moses and Elijah were talking with Jesus.Peter said to Jesus,“ Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters. One will be for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them. A voice from the cloud said,“ This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!”When the disciples heard this, they were terrified. They fell with their faces to the ground.But Jesus came and touched them.“ Get up,” he said.“ Don’t be afraid.”When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.They came down the mountain. On the way down, Jesus told them what to do.“ Don’t tell anyone what you have seen,” he said.“ Wait until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”The disciples asked him,“ Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah has to come first?”Jesus replied,“ That’s right. Elijah is supposed to come and make all things new again.But I tell you, Elijah has already come. People didn’t recognize him. They have done to him everything they wanted to do. In the same way, they are going to make the Son of Man suffer.”Then the disciples understood that Jesus was talking to them about John the Baptist.

On one of those days, Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray. He spent the night praying to God.

He took Peter, James and John along with him. He began to be very upset and troubled.“ My soul is very sad. I feel close to death,” he said to them.“ Stay here. Keep watch.”He went a little farther. Then he fell to the ground. He prayed that, if possible, the hour might pass by him.“ Abba, Father,” he said,“ everything is possible for you. Take this cup of suffering away from me. But let what you want be done, not what I want.”

This will be my third visit to you. Scripture says,“ Every matter must be proved by the words of two or three witnesses.”( Deuteronomy 19:15)

Jesus prayed while he lived on earth. He made his appeal with sincere cries and tears. He prayed to the God who could save him from death. God answered Jesus because he truly honored God.

When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened.
