4 Answering now Peter said to Jesus; Lord, good it is for us here to be. If You wish, (I will make *N(K)O*) here three tabernacles, for You one and for Moses one and for Elijah one.
And Peter answering said to Jesus, 'Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths — for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.'
5 While yet when he is speaking behold a cloud bright overshadowed them, and behold a voice out of the cloud saying; This is the Son of Mine the beloved in whom I am well pleased; do listen to Him.

9 And when are descending they (from *N(k)O*) the mountain instructed them Jesus saying; To no one shall tell the vision until that the Son of Man out from [the] dead (may be risen. *N(k)O*)
And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, 'Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.'
10 And asked Him the disciples (of him *ko*) saying; Why then the scribes say that Elijah it behooves to come first?

And Jesus answering said to them, 'Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,
12 I say however to you that Elijah already is come, and not they knew him but did to him as much as they desired; Thus also the Son of Man is about to suffer from them.
and I say to you — Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.'
13 Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist He spoke to them.

And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'

19 Then having come the disciples to Jesus in private they said; Because of why we ourselves not were able to cast out it?
Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, 'Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?'
20 And (Jesus *k*) (spoke *N(k)O*) to them; Because of the (little faith *N(K)O*) of you. Amen for I say to you; If you shall have faith as a seed of mustard, you will say to the mountain to this; do move (from here *N(k)O*) to there, and it will move; And no [thing] will be impossible for you.
And Jesus said to them, 'Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, 'Your teacher — doth he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, 'Yes.'

And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, 'What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth — from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?'
26 (When saying *N(k)O*) (now *no*) (he, Peter *k*) From the strangers, one was saying to him Jesus; Then surely free are the sons.

but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.'
