34 While Jesus was speaking, a cloud appeared. It surrounded them. The disciples were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35 A voice came from the cloud. It said, "This is my Son, and I have chosen him. Listen to him."
36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept quiet about this. They didn't tell anyone at that time what they had seen.
37 The next day Jesus and those who were with him came down from the mountain. A large crowd met Jesus.
38 A man in the crowd called out. "Teacher," he said, "I beg you to look at my son. He is my only child.
39 A spirit takes hold of him, and he suddenly screams. It throws him into fits so that he foams at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him. It is destroying him.
40 I begged your disciples to drive it out. But they couldn't do it."
