Matthew 17

1 And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up to a high mountain apart; 2 and was transfigured before them: and his face shone like the sun, and his raiment became white as the light. 3 And they saw Moses and Elias talking with Him. 4 Then Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou pleasest, let us make three tabernacles here, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 as he was speaking, lo a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him. 6 And when the disciples heard they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, 8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus only. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, 10 And his disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say, that Elias must first come? 11 Jesus said unto them, right.} 13 Then the disciples understood that He spake to them of John the baptist. 14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a man kneeling down and saying, 15 Lord, have compassion upon my son, for he is lunatic and grievously afflicted; for he often falleth into the fire, and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him. 17 Then Jesus answered and said, 18 Bring him here to me. And when Jesus rebuked him, the demon departed out of him, and the child was cured from that time. 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus in private, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this mountain, Remove from hence thither, and it shall remove: and nothing would be impossible to you.} 21 cast out but by prayer and fasting.} 22 And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, 23 } And they were exceedingly grieved. 24 And when they were come to Capernaum, the receivers of the tribute- came to Peter and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? Yes, saith he. 25 And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented him and said, 26 Peter saith unto Him, Of others. Jesus answered him, 27 and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and open its mouth, and thou shalt find a piece of money: that take and give them for me and thee.}
