< Matthew 17 >
1 And after six days Jesus takes with [him] Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲟⲩⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲩ.
2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light;
ⲃ̅ⲁϥϣⲃⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲧⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲃⲁϣ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
3 and lo, Moses and Elias appeared to them talking with him.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲙⲛϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ.
4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good we should be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elias.
ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϭⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ. ⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲧⲁⲙⲉⲓⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲕⲩⲛⲏ. ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ. ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ. ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ.
5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲓ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲥⲣϩⲁⲓⲃⲉⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ. ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲱϥ.
6 And the disciples hearing [it] fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified.

7 And Jesus coming to [them] touched them, and said, Rise up, and be not terrified.
ⲍ̅ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲣⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ.
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ.
9 And as they descended from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man be risen up from among [the] dead.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϩⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣϫⲱ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡϩⲟⲣⲁⲙⲁ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
10 And [his] disciples demanded of him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first have come?
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ.
11 And he answering said to them, Elias indeed comes first and will restore all things.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϥⲁⲡⲟⲕⲁⲑⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ.
12 But I say unto you that Elias has already come, and they have not known him, but have done unto him whatever they would. Thus also the Son of man is about to suffer from them.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ. ⲧⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the baptist.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ.
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, falling on his knees before him, and saying,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
15 Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and suffers sorely; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲣⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
17 And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲱ ⲧⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲙⲉ. ϣⲁⲧⲛⲁⲩ ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ. ϣⲁⲧⲛⲁⲩ ϯⲛⲁⲁⲛⲉⲓⲭⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲥϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ.
18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁϥⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲇⲁⲓⲙⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ. ⲁⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲗⲟ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
19 Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said [to him], Why were not we able to cast him out?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲥⲁⲟⲩⲥⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲛⲟϫϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
20 And he says to them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye shall say to this mountain, Be transported hence there, and it shall transport itself; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲏⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲗⲃⲓⲗⲉ ⲛϣⲗⲧⲏⲙ. ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲧⲟⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲡⲏ ⲛϥⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲙⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲣⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ.
21 But this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.

22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into [the] hands of men,

23 and they shall kill him; and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were greatly grieved.

24 And when they came to Capernaum, those who received the didrachmas came to Peter and said, Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas?

25 He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers?

26 Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

27 But that we may not be an offence to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when thou hast opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater; take that and give it to them for me and thee.
