Jesus Transfigured on the Mount
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 17
|
|
###### 1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
|
|
###### 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
|
|
###### 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
|
|
###### 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
|
|
|
|
###### 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"
|
|
###### 6 And when the disciples heard _it,_ they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.
|
|
###### 7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, **"Arise, and do not be afraid."**
|
|
###### 8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, **"Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead."**
|
|
|
|
###### 10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Jesus answered and said to them, **"Indeed, Elijah is coming** **first and will** **restore all things.**
|
|
###### 12 **But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they** **did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise** **the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands."**
|
|
###### 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.A Boy Is Healed
|
|
|
|
###### 14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,
|
|
###### 15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
|
|
###### 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but 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 bear with you? Bring him here to Me."**
|
|
###### 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"
|
|
|
|
###### 20 So Jesus said to them, **"Because of your** **unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you,** **if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.**
|
|
###### 21 **However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."**Jesus Again Predicts His Death and Resurrection
|
|
|
|
###### 22 Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, **"The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,**
|
|
###### 23 **and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up."** And they were exceedingly sorrowful.Peter and His Master Pay Their Taxes
|
|
|
|
###### 24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who received the _temple_ tax came to Peter and said, "Does your Teacher not pay the _temple_ tax?"
|
|
|
|
###### 25 He said, "Yes."
|
|
And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, **"What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from** **strangers?"**
|
|
|
|
###### 26 Peter said to Him, "From strangers."
|
|
Jesus said to him, **"Then the sons are free.**
|
|
###### 27 **Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a** **piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you."**
