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 note they saw Moses and Elias
talking with Him.
4 Then Peter note 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 And as he was note speaking, lo a
bright cloud overshadowed them, and note 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 it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
note
7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, Rise up
and be not afraid.
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, Tell the vision to no one, till
the Son of man be risen from the dead.
10 And his disciples
asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say,
that Elias must first come?
11 Jesus note said unto them,
Elias doth indeed come first, and shall set all things
right.
12 But I tell you that Elias is come already, and
they knew him not, but did what they pleased to him:
and so is the Son of man to suffer by them.
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 note 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, O unbelieving and perverse generation,
-- --
how long shall I be with you? how long shall I
bear with you?
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, because
of your unbelief: for verily I tell you, if ye had
but faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to
this mountain, Remove from hence thither, and it
shall remove: and nothing note would be impossible to you.
21 But this kind note is not to be cast out but by prayer and
fasting.
22 And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto
them, the Son of man is to be delivered into the
hands of men:
23 and they will put Him to death, and
the third day He shall be raised again. And they were
exceedingly grieved.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, the receivers
of the tribute-money came to Peter and said,
Doth not your master pay note tribute? Yes, saith he.
25 And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented
him and said, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom
do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of
their own children, or of other people?
26 Peter saith
unto Him, Of others. Jesus note answered him, Then
are the children free:
27 but that we may not give them
offence, go to the sea-side and throw in a hook, and
take note the first fish that comes up, and open its mouth,
and thou shalt find a note piece of money: that take and
give them for me and thee.
