< Matthew 17 >

1 And after sixe dayes, Iesus tooke Peter, and Iames and Iohn his brother, and brought them vp into an hie mountaine apart,
And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up to a high mountain apart;
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the Sunne, and his clothes were as white as the light.
and was transfigured before them: and his face shone like the sun, and his raiment became white as the light.
3 And beholde, there appeared vnto them Moses, and Elias, talking with him.
And they saw Moses and Elias talking with Him.
4 Then answered Peter, and saide to Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: if thou wilt, let vs make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Then Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou pleasest, let us make three tabernacles here, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloude shadowed them: and beholde, there came a voyce out of the cloude, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased: heare him.
And as he was speaking, lo a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.
6 And when the disciples heard that, they fell on their faces, and were sore afraide.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 Then Iesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraide.
But Jesus came and touched them and said, Rise up and be not afraid.
8 And when they lifted vp their eyes, they sawe no man, saue Iesus onely.
And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus only.
9 And as they came downe from the moutaine, Iesus charged them, saying, Shewe the vision to no man, vntil the Sonne of man rise againe from the dead.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the Scribes that Elias must first come?
And his disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say, that Elias must first come?
11 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Certeinely Elias must first come, and restore all thinges.
Jesus said unto them, Elias doth indeed come first, and shall set all things right.
12 But I say vnto you that Elias is come alreadie, and they knewe him not, but haue done vnto him whatsoeuer they would: likewise shall also the Sonne of man suffer of them.
But I tell you that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but did what they pleased to him: and so is the Son of man to suffer by them.
13 Then the disciples perceiued that he spake vnto them of Iohn Baptist.
Then the disciples understood that He spake to them of John the baptist.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certaine man, and fell downe at his feete,
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a man kneeling down and saying,
15 And saide, Master, haue pitie on my sonne: for he is lunatike, and is sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft times into the water.
Lord, have compassion upon my son, for he is lunatic and grievously afflicted; for he often falleth into the fire, and often into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heale him.
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
17 Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, how long now shall I be with you! howe long nowe shall I suffer you! bring him hither to me.
Then Jesus answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you?
18 And Iesus rebuked the deuill, and he went out of him: and the childe was healed at that houre.
Bring him here to me. And when Jesus rebuked him, the demon departed out of him, and the child was cured from that time.
19 Then came the disciples to Iesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Then came the disciples to Jesus in private, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 And Iesus said vnto them, Because of your vnbeliefe: for verely I say vnto you, if ye haue faith as much as is a graine of mustarde seede, ye shall say vnto this mountaine, Remooue hence to yonder place, and it shall remoue: and nothing shalbe vnpossible vnto you.
And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I tell you, if ye had but faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this mountain, Remove from hence thither, and it shall remove: and nothing would be impossible to you.
21 Howbeit this kinde goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting.
But this kind is not to be cast out but by prayer and fasting.
22 And they being in Galile, Iesus said vnto them, The Sonne of man shall be deliuered into the handes of men,
And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men:
23 And they shall kill him, but the thirde day shall he rise againe: and they were very sorie.
and they will put Him to death, and the third day He shall be raised again. And they were exceedingly grieved.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that receiued polle money, came to Peter, and sayd, Doeth not your Master pay polle money?
And when they were come to Capernaum, the receivers of the tribute-money came to Peter and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? Yes, saith he.
25 He sayd, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Iesus preuented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whome doe the Kings of the earth take tribute, or polle money? of their children, or of strangers?
And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented him and said, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of their own children, or of other people?
26 Peter sayd vnto him, Of strangers. Then said Iesus vnto him, Then are the children free.
Peter saith unto Him, Of others. Jesus answered him, Then are the children free:
27 Neuerthelesse, lest we should offend them: goe to the sea, and cast in an angle, and take the first fish that commeth vp, and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt finde a piece of twentie pence: that take, and giue it vnto them for me and thee.
but that we may not give them offence, go to the sea-side and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and open its mouth, and thou shalt find a piece of money: that take and give them for me and thee.
