¹ And after six days Jesus takes Peter+ , James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a 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, see, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him. ⁴ Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. ⁵ While he still spoke, see, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and see a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in who I am well pleased; hear you 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 Elijah must first come? ¹¹ And Jesus answered and said to them, Elijah truly will first come, and restore all things. ¹² But I say to you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done to him anything they listed. Likewise will also the Son of man suffer of them. ¹³ Then the disciples understood that he spoke to 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 falls into the fire, and oft into the water. ¹⁶ And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him. ¹⁷ Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long+ will I be with you? how long+ will I suffer you? bring him here 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 to them, Because of your unbelief: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Remove far from here to yonder place; and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible to you. ²¹ However this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting. ²² And while they stayed in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be betrayed into the hands of men: ²³ And they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. ²⁴ And when they were come to Capernaum, those received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Does not your master pay tribute? ²⁵ He said, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What do you think, Simon? of who do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? ²⁶ Peter said to him, Of strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the children free. ²⁷ Notwithstanding, in case we should offend them, go you to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first comes up; and when you have opened his mouth, you will find a piece of money: that take, and give to them for me and you.
