The Transfiguration

Mat 17:1

Mat 17:1Six days later Jesus *took with Him Peter and [fn]James and John his brother, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

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 said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three [fn]tabernacles here, one for You, and 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 out of 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.

Mat 17:7

Mat 17:7And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and do not be afraid.”

Mat 17:8

Mat 17:8And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

Mat 17:9

Mat 17:9As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”

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 wished. 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.

The Demoniac

(Mar 9:14–29; Luk 9:37–42 )

Mat 17:14

Mat 17:14When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

Mat 17:15

Mat 17:15“[fn]Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a [fn]lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

Mat 17:16

Mat 17:16“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 perverted 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 cured [fn]at once.

Mat 17:19

Mat 17:19Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not drive it out?”

Mat 17:20

Mat 17:20And He *said to them, “Because of the littleness of your 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 to you.

Mat 17:21

Mat 17:21[“[fn]But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”]

Mat 17:22

Mat 17:22And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be [fn]delivered into the hands of men;

Mat 17:23

Mat 17:23and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were deeply grieved.

The Tribute Money

Mat 17:24

Mat 17:24When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the [fn]two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the [fn]two-drachma 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 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 [fn]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 [fn]a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”
