1 A nd six days after this, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:

2 A nd His appearance underwent a change in their presence; and His face shone clear and bright like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light.

and he was transfigured before them; and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light.

3 A nd behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, who kept talking with Him.

And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him.

4 T hen Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good and delightful that we are here; if You approve, I will put up three booths here—one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.

And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

5 W hile he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud '> composed of light] overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, This is My Son, My Beloved, with Whom I am '> have always been] delighted. Listen to Him!

While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

6 W hen the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were seized with alarm and struck with fear.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

7 B ut Jesus came and touched them and said, Get up, and do not be afraid.

And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

8 A nd when they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.

9 A nd as they were going down the mountain, Jesus cautioned and commanded them, Do not mention to anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.

And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead.

10 T he disciples asked Him, Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?

11 H e replied, Elijah does come and will get everything restored and ready.

And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things:

12 B ut I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know or recognize him, but did to him as they liked. So also the Son of Man is going to be treated and suffer at their hands.

but I say into you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them.

13 T hen the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist.

Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

14 A nd when they approached the multitude, a man came up to Him, kneeling before Him and saying,

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, saying,

15 L ord, do pity and have mercy on my son, for he has epilepsy (is moonstruck) and he suffers terribly; for frequently he falls into the fire and many times into the water.

Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and off-times into the water.

16 A nd I brought him to Your disciples, and they were not able to cure him.

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

17 A nd Jesus answered, O you unbelieving ( warped, wayward, rebellious) and thoroughly perverse generation! How long am I to remain with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me.

And 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 hither to me.

18 A nd Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly.

And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour.

19 T hen the disciples came to Jesus and asked privately, Why could we not drive it out?

Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out?

20 H e said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith '> firmly relying trust]. For truly I say to you, if you have faith '> that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

21 B ut this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.

But this kind goeth not out save by prayer and fasting.

22 W hen they were going about here and there in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is going to be turned over into the hands of men.

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men;

23 A nd they will kill Him, and He will be raised again on the third day. And they were deeply and exceedingly grieved and distressed.

and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.

24 W hen they arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the half shekel went up to Peter and said, Does not your Teacher pay the half shekel?

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel?

25 H e answered, Yes. And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly rulers collect duties or tribute—from their own sons or from others not of their own family?

He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers?

26 A nd when Peter said, From other people not of their own family, Jesus said to him, Then the sons are exempt.

And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free.

27 H owever, in order not to give offense and cause them to stumble '> to judge unfavorably and unjustly] go down to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find there a shekel. Take it and give it to them to pay the temple tax for Me and for yourself.

But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
