Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light.
And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.
Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus.
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
But even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him.”
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!”
The disciples were terrified and fell face down on the ground.
When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.
Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”
And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and do not be afraid.”
And when they looked up, Moses and Elijah were gone, and they saw only Jesus.
And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
And His disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Jesus replied, “Elijah is indeed coming first to get everything ready.
And He answered and said, “Elijah is coming and will restore all things;
But I tell you, Elijah has already come, but he wasn’t recognized, and they chose to abuse him. And in the same way they will also make the Son of Man suffer.”
but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”
Then the disciples realized he was talking about John the Baptist.
Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy
At the foot of the mountain, a large crowd was waiting for them. A man came and knelt before Jesus and said,
The Demoniac
When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying,
“Lord, have mercy on my son. He has seizures and suffers terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.
“Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
So I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him.”
“I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
Jesus said, “You faithless and corrupt people! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.”
And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”
Then Jesus rebuked the demon in the boy, and it left him. From that moment the boy was well.
And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once.
Afterward the disciples asked Jesus privately, “Why couldn’t we cast out that demon?”
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not drive it out?”
And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
After they gathered again in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies.
And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men;
He will be killed, but on the third day he will be raised from the dead.” And the disciples were filled with grief.
and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were deeply grieved.
The Tribute Money
When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax?”
He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?”
“They tax the people they have conquered,” Peter replied.
“Well, then,” Jesus said, “the citizens are free!
“Well, then,” Jesus said, “the citizens are free!
When Peter said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are exempt.
“However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”
