And having responded, Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou desire, we could make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

6 And, hearing it, the disciples fell upon their face, and were caused to fear exceedingly.

10 And the disciples questioned him, saying—Why then do, the Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?
And his disciples questioned him, saying, Why then do the scholars say that Elijah must first come?
11 And, he, answering, said—Elijah, indeed, cometh, and will restored all things;
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all.

But I say to you, that Elijah already came, and they knew him not, but did to him how many things they wanted. Likewise also the Son of man is going to suffer by them.

15 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.
Lord, be merciful to my son, because he is lunatic, and suffers badly. For he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.

19 Then, the disciples, coming near, to Jesus, privately, said—Wherefore could, we, not cast it out?
Then the disciples having come to Jesus in private, said, Why could we not cast it out?
20 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.
And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of a mustard plant, ye will say to this mountain, Remove from here to there, and it will depart, and nothing will be impossible to you.

25 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?
He says, Yes. And when he entered into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What think thou, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they take taxes or tribute, from their sons or from strangers?
26 And, when he said, From the aliens, Jesus said unto him, Well then, free, are the sons!
And Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Therefore the sons are free.
27 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.
But, so that we might not offend them, after going to the sea, cast a hook. And take up the first fish coming up, and having opened its mouth, thou will find a four-drachma coin. After taking that, give thou to them for me and thee.
