Matthew 17
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth 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 garments became white as snow.
3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
And Peter answering, said to 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.
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."
And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not.
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus 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 man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?
11 And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.
12 but I tell you that Elijah 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 Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him,
And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying:
15 and said, "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.
Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often 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 could not cure him.
17 Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."
Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we 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."
Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
22 While they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed 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 shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly.
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?"
And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachmas?
25 He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"
He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom? of their own children, or of strangers?
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
And he said: Of strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, 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 not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee.
