1 S eis días después, Jesús tomó a Pedro, a Jacobo y a Juan su hermano, y los llevó aparte a un monte alto;

And 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.

2 y se transfiguró ante ellos, y su rostro resplandeció como el sol, y sus vestiduras se volvieron blancas como la luz.

And 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.

3 E n esto, se les aparecieron Moisés y Elías, hablando con él.

And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, who kept talking with Him.

4 E ntonces Pedro tomó la palabra y dijo a Jesús: Señor, bueno es estarnos aquí; si quieres, hagamos aquí tres tiendas: una para ti, otra para Moisés, y otra para Elías.

Then 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.

5 M ientras él aún hablaba, una nube luminosa los cubrió; y salió de la nube una voz que decía: Éste es mi Hijo amado, en quien tengo complacencia; a él oíd.

While 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!

6 A l oír esto los discípulos, se postraron sobre sus rostros, y tuvieron enorme temor.

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

7 E ntonces Jesús se acercó y los tocó, y dijo: Levantaos, y no temáis.

But Jesus came and touched them and said, Get up, and do not be afraid.

8 Y cuando alzaron sus ojos, no vieron a nadie, sino a Jesús solo.

And when they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

9 C uando descendían del monte, Jesús les mandó, diciendo: No digáis a nadie la visión, hasta que el Hijo del Hombre resucite de los muertos.

And 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.

10 E ntonces sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Por qué, pues, dicen los escribas que debe venir antes Elías?

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

11 J esús respondió y les dijo: A la verdad, Elías viene primero, y restaurará todas las cosas.

He replied, Elijah does come and will get everything restored and ready.

12 M as os digo que Elías ya vino, y no le reconocieron, sino que hicieron con él todo lo que quisieron; así también el Hijo del Hombre va a padecer a manos de ellos.

But 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.

13 E ntonces los discípulos comprendieron que les había hablado de Juan el Bautista. Jesús sana a un muchacho lunático

Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist.

14 C uando llegaron ellos adonde estaba la multitud, se le acercó un hombre que se arrodilló ante él, diciendo:

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

15 S eñor, ten compasión de mi hijo, que es lunático, y padece muchísimo; porque muchas veces cae en el fuego, y muchas en el agua.

Lord, 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.

16 Y lo he traído a tus discípulos, pero no le han podido sanar.

And I brought him to Your disciples, and they were not able to cure him.

17 R espondiendo Jesús, dijo: ¡Oh generación incrédula y perversa! ¿Hasta cuándo estaré con vosotros? ¿Hasta cuándo os he de soportar? Traédmelo acá.

And 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.

18 L e increpó Jesús, y el demonio salió de él, y quedó curado el muchacho desde aquel momento.

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

19 E ntonces los discípulos, acercándose a Jesús, le dijeron aparte: ¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos echarlo fuera?

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

20 J esús les dijo: Por vuestra falta de fe; porque de cierto os digo, que si tenéis fe como un grano de mostaza, diréis a este monte: Pásate de aquí allá, y se pasará; y nada os será imposible.

He 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.

21 P ero esta clase de demonios no sale sino con oración y ayuno. Jesucristo anuncia otra vez su muerte

But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.

22 M ientras caminaban ellos por Galilea, les dijo Jesús: El Hijo del Hombre va a ser entregado en manos de hombres,

When 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.

23 y le matarán; y al tercer día resucitará. Y ellos se entristecieron en gran manera. Pago del tributo del templo

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

24 C uando llegaron a Capernaúm, se acercaron a Pedro los que cobraban el impuesto de las dos dracmas, y le dijeron: ¿No paga vuestro Maestro las dos dracmas?

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

25 É l dijo: Sí. Y al entrar él en casa, Jesús se anticipó a él, diciendo: ¿Qué te parece, Simón? Los reyes de la tierra, ¿de quiénes cobran tributos o impuestos? ¿De sus hijos, o de los extraños?

He 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?

26 P edro le respondió: De los extraños. Jesús le dijo: Luego los hijos están exentos.

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

27 S in embargo, para no ofenderles, ve al mar, echa el anzuelo, y al primer pez que suba, tómalo, y al abrirle la boca, hallarás un estater; tómalo, y dáselo por mí y por ti.

However, 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.
