Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and his brother John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves,

2 and He was transfigured before them, and His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as the light,

4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good to us to be here; if You will, we may make three shelters here: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 While he is yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted; hear Him.”

9 And as they are coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, “Say to no one the vision, until the Son of Man may rise out of the dead.”

10 And His disciples questioned Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them concerning John the Immerser.

14 And when they came to the multitude, there came to Him a man, kneeling down to Him,

17 And Jesus answering said, “O generation, unsteadfast and perverse, until when will I be with you? Until when will I bear you? Bring him to Me here”;

18 and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was healed from that hour.

20 And Jesus said to them, “Through your want of faith; for truly I say to you, if you may have faith as a grain of mustard, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you,
