The Transfiguration

Six^G1803 days^G2250 later^G3326, Jesus^G2424 *took^G3880 with Him Peter^G4074 and [fn]James^G2385, and his brother^G80 John^G2491, and *led^G399 them up^G399 on a high^G5308 mountain^G3735 by themselves^G2398.

Mat 17:2

Mat 17:2And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.

Mat 17:3

Mat 17:3And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

Mat 17:4

Mat 17:4Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If You want, I will make three [fn]tabernacles here: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Mat 17:5

Mat 17:5While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him!”

Mat 17:6

Mat 17:6When the disciples heard this, they fell [fn]face down to the ground and were terrified.

When they were coming^G2597 down^G2597 from the mountain^G3735, Jesus^G2424 commanded^G1781 them, saying^G3004, “Tell^G3004 the vision^G3705 to no^G3367 one^G3367 until^G2193 the Son^G5207 of Man^G444 has risen^G1453 from the dead^G3498.”

Mat 17:10

Mat 17:10And His disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

Mat 17:11

Mat 17:11And He answered and said, “Elijah is coming and will restore all things;

Mat 17:12

Mat 17:12but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did [fn]to him whatever they wanted. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer [fn]at their hands.”

Mat 17:13

Mat 17:13Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

Mat 17:15

Mat 17:15“[fn]Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers terribly; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

Mat 17:16

Mat 17:16“And I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.”

Mat 17:17

Mat 17:17And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

Mat 17:18

Mat 17:18And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was healed [fn]at once.

Mat 17:19

Then^G5119 the disciples^G3101 came^G4334 to Jesus^G2424 privately^G2596^G2398 and said^G3004, “Why^G1223^G5101 could^G1410 we not cast^G1544 it out^G1544?”

Mat 17:20

Mat 17:20And He *said to them, “Because of your meager faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith [fn]the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Mat 17:21

The Temple Tax

Mat 17:24

Now^G1161 when they came^G4334 to Capernaum^G2584, those^G3588 who collected^G2983 the [fn]two-drachma^G1323 tax came^G4334 to Peter^G4074 and said^G3004, “Does your teacher^G1320 not pay^G5055 the [fn]two-drachma^G1323 tax?”

Mat 17:25

Mat 17:25He *said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or [fn]poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?”

Mat 17:26

Mat 17:26When Peter said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are [fn]exempt.

Mat 17:27

Mat 17:27“However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a [fn]stater. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”
