Matthew 17
1 AND after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
And, after six days, Jesus taketh with him, Peter and James and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart;
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
and was transformed before them, —and his face shone as the sun, and, his garments, became white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
And lo! there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, conversing with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
And Peter, answering, said unto Jesus—Lord! it is, delightful, for us, to be here, —If thou wilt, I will make here three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
While yet he was speaking, lo! a brightly shining cloud, overshadowed them, and lo! a voice, out of the cloud, saying—This, is, my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight, —Be hearkening to him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
And, hearing it, the disciples fell upon their face, and were caused to fear exceedingly.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
And Jesus came near, and, touching them, said—Arise! and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And, lifting up their eyes, no one, saw they, save Jesus, himself, alone.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying—Unto no one, may ye tell the vision, until the Son of Man, from among the dead shall arise.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And the disciples questioned him, saying—Why then do, the Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
And, he, answering, said—Elijah, indeed, cometh, and will restored all things;
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
But, I say unto you—that, Elijah, just now, came, —and they recognised him not, but did with him, whatsoever they pleased: Thus, the Son of Man also, is destined to suffer by them.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Then, perceived the disciples, that, concerning John the Immerser, he spake to them.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
And, when they came unto the multitude, there approached him a man, falling on his knees to him,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
and saying—Lord! have mercy upon my son, —because he is lunatic, and in a grievous condition; For, many times, falleth he into the fire, and, many times, into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
And I brought him unto thy disciples, and they could not cure, him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
And Jesus, answering, said—O faithless and perverted generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me, here.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
And Jesus rebuked it; and the demon came out of him, —and cured was the boy, from that hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Then, the disciples, coming near, to Jesus, privately, said—Wherefore could, we, not cast it out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
And, he, saith unto them—Because of your little faith. For, verily, I say unto you—If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, remove hence yonder; and it shall be removed, and, nothing, shall be impossible to you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
And, as they were being gathered together in Galilee, Jesus said unto 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 again. And they were exceeding sorry.
And they will slay him, and, on the third day, will he, arise. And they were grieved exceedingly.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
And, when they came into Capernaum, they who, the half shekel, were receiving, came near unto Peter, and said, Your teacher, doth he not pay the half shekel?
25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
He saith—Yea. And, coming into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, How, to thee, doth it seem, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom receive they dues or tax? from their sons, or from the aliens?
26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
And, when he said, From the aliens, Jesus said unto him, Well then, free, are the sons!
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
But, that we may not cause them to stumble, go unto the sea, and cast in a hook, and, the first fish that cometh up, take, and, opening its mouth, thou shalt find a shekel, —that, take, and give to them for me and thee.
