Matthew 17
1 And after sixe daies Jhesus took Petre, and James, and Joon, his brother, and ledde hem aside in to an hiy hil,
After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, brother of James, apart to the top of a high mountain,
2 and was turned in to an othir licnesse bifor hem. And his face schone as the sunne; and hise clothis weren maad white as snowe.
and was transfigured in their presence, His face shone as the sun; and his raiment became white as the light.
3 And lo! Moises and Elie apperiden to hem, and spaken with hym.
And presently appeared to them Moses and Elijah conversing with him.
4 And Petre answeride, and seide to Jhesu, Lord, it is good vs to be here. If thou wolt, make we here thre tabernaclis; to thee oon, to Moises oon, and oon to Elye. Yit the while he spak, lo!
Peter, upon this, addressing Jesus, said, Master, it is good for us to stay here; let us make here, if you will, three booths; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 a briyt cloude ouerschadewide hem; and lo! a voice out of the cloude, that seide, This is my dereworth sone, in whom Y haue wel pleside to me; here ye hym.
While he was speaking, behold! a bright cloud covered them, and out of the cloud a voice came, which said, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I delight; hear him.
6 And the disciplis herden, and felden doun on her faces, and dredden greetli.
The disciples, hearing this, fell upon their faces, and were greatly frightened.
7 And Jhesus cam, and touchide hem, and seide to hem, Rise vp, and nyle ye drede.
But Jesus came and touched them, saying, Arise; be not afraid.
8 And thei liften vp her iyen, and saien no man, but Jhesu aloone.
Then lifting up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus.
9 And as thei camen doun of the hille, Jhesus comaundide to hem, and seide, Seie ye to no man the visioun, til mannus sone rise ayen fro deeth.
As they went down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no person what you have seen, until the Son of Man rise from the dead.
10 And his disciplis axiden hym, and seiden, What thanne seien the scribis, that it bihoueth that Elie come first?
Then the disciples asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must come first?
11 He answeride, and seide to hem, Elie schal come, and he schal restore alle thingis.
Jesus answering, said to them, To consummate the whole, Elijah, indeed, must come first.
12 And Y seie to you, that Elie is nowe comun, and thei knewen hym not, but thei diden in him what euer thingis thei wolden; and so mannus sone schal suffre of hem.
But I tell you, Elijah is come already, though they did not acknowledge him, but have treated him as they pleased. Thus they will treat the Son of Man also.
13 Thanne the disciplis vndurstoden, that he seide to hem of Joon Baptist.
Then the disciple understood, that he spoke concerning John the Immerser.
14 And whanne he cam to the puple, a man cam to hym, and felde doun on hise knees bifor hym, and seide,
When they were come to the multitude, a man came to him, who kneeling, said,
15 Lord, haue merci on my sone; for he is lunatike, and suffrith yuele, for ofte tymes he fallith in to the fier, and ofte tymes in to water.
Sir, have pity on my son; for he is grievously distressed with lunacy; often ge falls into the fire, and often into the water,
16 And Y brouyte hym to thi disciplis, and thei myyten not heele hym.
and I presented him to your disciples; but they could not cure him.
17 Jhesus answeride, and seide, A! thou generacion vnbileueful and weiward; hou long schal Y be with you? hou long schal Y suffre you? Brynge ye hym hider to me.
Jesus answering, said, O unbelieving and perverse race! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me.
18 And Jhesus blamede hym, and the deuel wente out fro hym; and the child was heelid fro that our.
Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out: and the lad was instantly cured.
19 Thanne the disciplis camen to Jhesu priueli, and seiden to hym, Whi myyten not we caste hym out?
At that time the disciple came to him privately, saying, Why could not we expel the demon?
20 Jhesus seith to hem, For youre vnbileue. Treuli Y seie to you, if ye han feith, as a corn of seneueye, ye schulen seie to this hil, Passe thou hennus, and it schal passe; and no thing schal be vnpossible to you;
Jesus answered, Because of your unbelief; for, indeed, I say to you, if you had faith, though but as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mountain, Remove to yonder place, and it would remove: yes, nothing would be impossible to you.
21 but this kynde is not caste out, but bi preiyng and fastyng.
This kind, however, is not dispossessed, unless by prayer and fasting.
22 And whilis thei weren abidynge togidere in Galilee, Jhesus seide to hem, Mannus sone schal be bitraied in to the hondis of men;
While they remained in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is to be delivered up to men,
23 and thei schulen sle hym, and the thridde day he schal rise ayen to lijf. And thei weren ful sori.
who will kill him: but the third day he shall be raised again. And they were grieved exceedingly.
24 And whanne thei camen to Cafarnaum, thei that token tribute, camen to Petre, and seiden to hym, Youre maister payeth not tribute?
When they were come to Capernaum, the collectors came and asked Peter, Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?
25 And he seide, Yhis. And whanne he was comen in to the hous, Jhesus cam bifor hym, and seide, Symount, what semeth to thee? Kyngis of erthe, of whom taken thei tribute? of her sones, ether of aliens?
He said, Yes. Being come into the house, before he spoke, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth exact tribute or custom? from their own sons, or from others?
26 And he seide, Of aliens. Jhesus seide to hym, Thanne sones ben fre.
Peter answered, From others. Jesus replied, The sons then are exempted.
27 But that we sclaundre hem not, go to the see, and caste an hook, and take thilke fisch that first cometh vp; and, whanne his mouth is opened, thou schalt fynde a stater, and yyue for thee and for me.
Nevertheless, lest we shall give them offense, go to the sea and throw a line, draw out the first fish that is hooked, and, having opened its mouth, you shall find a stater; take that, and give it to them for me and you.
