and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
|
|
|
|

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

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. |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:5
|
|
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. |

and be not afraid. |
|

save Jesus only. |
|
|
|

Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man
be risen from the dead. |

say the scribes that Elijah must first come? |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:11
|
|
And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh,
and shall restore all things: |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:12
|
|
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. |
|
|
|

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

|
And when they were come to the multitude, there
came to him a man, kneeling to him, saying, |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:15
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:16
|
|
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they
could not cure him. |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:17

perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with
you? bring him hither to me. |
|
|
|

|
|
And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out
of him: and the boy was cured from that hour. |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:19
|
|
Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and
said, Why could not we cast it out? |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:20
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:21
|
|
But this kind goeth not out save by prayer and
fasting. |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:22
|
|
And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said
unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men; |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:23
|
|
and they shall kill him, and the third day he
shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry. |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:24
|
|
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? |
|
|
|

|
|
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?
|
|
|
|
Matthew 17:26
|
|
And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said
unto him, Therefore the sons are free. |
|
|
|
Matthew 17:27
|
|
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. |
