Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 158. We have four more days left, including today in our second Messianic checkpoint. We're reading today from the Gospel of St. Mark, chapters 9 and 10. We're also praying Psalm 29.
As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a Year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a Year.

The gospel of St. Mark chapter nine. And Jesus said to them, truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power. The transfiguration.
and after six days jesus took with him peter and james and john and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves and he was transfigured before them and his garments became glistening intensely white as no fuller on earth could bleach them and there appeared to them elijah with moses And they were talking to Jesus. And Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is well that we are here.
Let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah. For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid. And a cloud overshadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud. This is my beloved son. Listen to him. And suddenly, looking around, they saw no longer anyone with them but Jesus only. The coming of Elijah.
And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen until the son of man should have risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant. And they asked him, why did the scribes say that first Elijah must come? And he said to them, Elijah does come first to restore all things.
And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him. the healing of a boy with a mute spirit. And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them and scribes arguing with them.
