33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.
As they were parting from him, Peter [Rock] said to Yeshua [Salvation], “Rabbi ·Teacher·, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses [Drawn out], and one for Elijah [My God Yah],” not knowing what he said.

41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and put up with you? Bring thy son here.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
42 And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Yeshua [Salvation] rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Yeshua [Salvation] did, he said to his disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.
But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
Yeshua [Salvation], perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48 And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
John [Yah is gracious] answered, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.”
50 And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem [City of peace].
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?
When his disciples, James [Surplanter] and John [Yah is gracious], saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah [My God Yah] did?”
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

59 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
But Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go and bid them farewell, who are at my house.
Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
62 And Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
