1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter, and
the brothers James and John, and led them up
a high mountain alone.
2 There his appearance
was transformed before their eyes; his face shone like the
sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.
3 And all
at once Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with
Jesus.
4 “Master,” exclaimed Peter, interposing, “it is good to be
here; if you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you,
one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them,
and there was a voice from the cloud which said—
“This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight; him
you must hear.” note
6 The disciples, on hearing this, fell on their faces, greatly
afraid.
7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying as he
did so:
“Rise up, and do not be afraid.”
8 When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus
himself alone. ⪆⪆
9 As they were going down the mountain
side, Jesus gave them this warning—“Do not speak of
this vision to any one, until the Son of Man has risen from
the dead.”
note
10 “How is it,” his disciples asked, “that our
Teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come
first?”
11 “Elijah indeed does come,” Jesus replied, “and will restore
everything; note
12 and I tell you that Elijah has already come, and
people have not recognized him, but have treated him just as
-- --
they pleased. In the same way, too, the Son of Man is
destined to undergo suffering at men's hands.”
13 Then the disciples understood that it was of John the Baptist
that he had spoken to them.
note
14 When they came to the crowd, a man came up
to Jesus, and, kneeling down before him, said:
15 “Master, take pity on my son, for he is
epileptic and suffers terribly; indeed, he often falls into the fire
and into the water;
16 I brought him to your disciples, but they
could not cure him.”
note
17 “O faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus
exclaimed, “how long must I be among you?
how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy
here to me.” note
18 Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy;
and he was cured from that very hour. ⪆⪆
19 Afterwards the
disciples came up to Jesus, and asked him privately: “Why
was it that we could not drive it out?”
20 “Because you have so little faith,” he answered; “for, I
tell you, if your faith were only like a mustard-seed, you
could say to this mountain ‘Move from this place to that!’
and it would be moved; and nothing would be impossible
to you.”
note
22 While Jesus and his disciples were together in
Galilee, he said to them:
“The Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into
the hands of his fellow-men,
23 and they will put
him to death, but on the third day he will rise.”
And the disciples were greatly distressed. note
note
24 After they had reached Capernaum, the collectors
of the Temple-rate came up to Peter, and
said:
“Does not your Master pay the Temple-rate?”
25 “Yes,” answered Peter.
But, on going into the house, before he could speak, Jesus
said:
“What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly
kings take taxes or tribute? From their sons, or from
others?”
26 “From others,” answered Peter.
27 “Well then,” continued Jesus, “their sons go free. Still,
that we may not shock them, go and throw a line into the
Sea; take the first fish that rises, open its mouth, and you
-- --
will find in it a piece of money. Take that, and give it to the
collectors for both of us.”
