Matthew 17

1 And, after six days, Jesus taketh with Him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart; 2 and He was transfigured before them; and His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with Him. 4 And Peter, answering, said to Jesus," Lord, it is good that we are here. If Thou wilt, I will make here three tentsâone for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 5 While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And, behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in Whom I delighted; hear Him." 6 And the disciples, hearing , fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid. 7 And Jesus came near, and, touching them, said, 8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only. 9 And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, 10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" 11 And He, answering, said, 13 Then the disciples understood that He spake to them concerning John the Immerser. 14 And, when they came to the multitude, there approached Him a man, kneeling to Him, and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he is lunatic, and suffers grievously; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to Thy disciples, and they could not heal him." 17 And Jesus, answering, said, 18 And Jesus rebuked it, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was healed from that hour. 19 Then the disciples, coming near, said to Jesus privately, “Why could not we cast it out?" 20 And He saith to them, 22 And, while they were assembled together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 23 And they were grieved exceedingly. 24 And, when they came into Capernaum, those receiving the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, “Doth not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?" 25 He says, “Yes.” And Jesus anticipated him as he came into the house, saying, 26 And, when he said, “From the aliens,” Jesus said to him, 27 to them for Me and you.”}
