One day when He was praying by Himself the disciples were present; and He asked them, »Who do the people say that I am?«
When He had done this, He climbed the hill to pray in solitude. Night came on, and he was there alone.
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to the disciples, »Sit down here, whilst I go yonder and there pray.«
At one place where He was praying, when He rose from His knees one of His disciples said to Him, »Master, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.«
Now when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the sky opened,
About that time He went out on one occasion into the hill country to pray; and He remained all night in prayer to God.
»John the Baptist,« they replied; »but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life.«
It was about eight days after this that Jesus, taking with Him Peter, John, and James, went up the mountain to pray.
And while He was praying the appearance of His face underwent a change, and His clothing became white and radiant.
