Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and
John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high
mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did
shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the
light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and
Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it
is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make
here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for
Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the
cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on
their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise,
and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw
no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus
charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man,
until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say
the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly
shall first come, and restore all things.
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already,
and they knew him not, but have done unto him
whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son
of man suffer of them.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto
them of John the Baptist.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there
came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and
saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick,
and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the
fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could
not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and
perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?
how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out
of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said,
Why could not we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your
unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith
as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall
remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and
fasting.
22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto
them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands
of men:
23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he
shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that
received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth
not your master pay tribute?
25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the
house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest
thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take
custom or tribute? of their own children, or of
strangers?
26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith
unto him, Then are the children free.
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go
thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the
fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened
his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that
take, and give unto them for me and thee.
