Matthew 17
1 After six days, Yeshua took with him Kipha, Yaquv, and Yukhanan his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up into a high mountain apart:
2 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
and he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his clothing was white as the light.
3 And look, Mushe and Eliya appeared to them talking with him.
And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.
4 Kipha answered, and said to Yeshua, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Mushe, and one for Eliya."
And Peter answered and said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt, let us make here three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And look, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo, a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight; hear him.
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were greatly afraid.
7 Yeshua came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
And Jesus came and touched them, and said: Arise and be not afraid.
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Yeshua alone.
And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Yeshua commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen 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 has risen from the dead.
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Eliya must come first?"
And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
11 And he answered and said, "Eliya indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Jesus answered and said to them: Elijah, indeed, comes first, and he will restore all things.
12 but I tell you that Eliya has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."
But I say to you, That Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him what they wished; so also shall the Son of man suffer at their hands.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of Yukhanan the Baptist.
Then, the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Immerser.
14 When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,
And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a man who knelt to him,
15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
and said: Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to cure him.
17 Yeshua answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."
Jesus answered and said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.
18 Yeshua rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
And Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him: and the child was cured from that hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Yeshua privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said: Why were we not able to cast him out?
20 So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
And Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, If you have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, Be removed from this place to that, and it shall be removed: and nothing shall be impossible for you.
But this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.
22 While they were gathering together in Galila, Yeshua said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
And as they were making their journey in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men;
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised again. And they were very sad.
24 When they had come to Kepharnakhum, those who collected the zuzeen coins came to Kipha, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the zuzeen?"
And when they had come into Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma came to Peter, and said: Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?
25 He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Yeshua anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Shimon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"
He said: Yes. And when he had come into the house, before he had spoken, Jesus said to him: What think you, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tax or tribute? From their own sons, or from the sons of others?
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Yeshua said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Peter said to him: From the sons of others. Jesus said to him: Then are their own sons free.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the lake, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."
But that we may give them no offense, go to the sea, and throw in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first; and when you have opened his mouth, you will find a stater; take that, and give to them for me and you.
