So Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If yoʋ want, we will make three shelters here, one for yoʋ, 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."

But Jesus came over and touched them, saying, “Rise; do not be afraid.”
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Yeshua alone.
And lifting 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."
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about the vision you saw until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”

11 And he answered and said, "Eliya indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Jesus answered them, “Elijah does indeed come 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."

16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
I brought him to yoʋr disciples, but they could not heal him.”

Jesus answered, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
18 Yeshua rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

19 Then the disciples came to Yeshua privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it 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."
Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, “Your teacher pays the two-drachma tax, doesn't he?”
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 Peter came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do yoʋ think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tax? From their own sons or from strangers?”
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Yeshua said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Peter said to him, “From strangers.” And Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are 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."
