¹ And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

² And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

³ And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

⁴ Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

⁵ While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, 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.

⁷ And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

⁸ And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

⁹ And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

¹⁰ And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

¹¹ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

¹² But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

¹³ Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

¹⁴ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

¹⁵ Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

¹⁶ And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

¹⁷ Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

¹⁹ Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

²⁰ And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: 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 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

²² And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

²³ And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

²⁴ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

²⁵ He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

²⁶ Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

²⁷ Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

¹ And ^G2532 after ^G3326 six ^G1803 days ^G2250 Jesus ^G2424 taketh ^G3880 Peter, ^{G4074 G2532} James, ^G2385 and ^G2532 John ^G2491 his ^G846 brother, ^G80 and ^G2532 bringeth ^G399 them ^G846 up ^G399 into ^G1519 an high ^G5308 mountain ^G3735 apart, ^{G2596 G2398}

² And ^G2532 was transfigured ^G3339 before ^G1715 them: ^G846 and ^G2532 his ^G846 face ^G4383 did shine ^G2989 as ^G5613 the sun, ^G2246 and ^G1161 his ^G846 raiment ^G2440 was ^G1096 white ^G3022 as ^G5613 the light. ^G5457

³ And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 there appeared ^G3700 unto them ^G846 Moses ^G3475 and ^G2532 Elias ^G2243 talking ^G4814 with ^G3326 him. ^G846

⁴ Then ^G1161 answered ^G611 Peter, ^G4074 and said ^G2036 unto Jesus, ^G2424 Lord, ^G2962 it is ^G2076 good ^G2570 for us ^G2248 to be ^G1511 here: ^G5602 if ^G1487 thou wilt, ^G2309 let us make ^G4160 here ^G5602 three ^G5140 tabernacles; ^G4633 one ^G3391 for thee, ^G4671 and ^G2532 one ^G3391 for Moses, ^G3475 and ^G2532 one ^G3391 for Elias. ^G2243

⁵ While he ^G846 yet ^G2089 spake, ^G2980 behold, ^G2400 a bright ^G5460 cloud ^G3507 overshadowed ^G1982 them: ^G846 and ^G2532 behold ^G2400 a voice ^G5456 out of ^G1537 the cloud, ^G3507 which said, ^G3004 This ^G3778 is ^G2076 my ^G3450 beloved ^G27 Son, ^G5207 in ^G1722 whom ^G3739 I am well pleased; ^G2106 hear ye ^G191 him. ^G846

⁶ And ^G2532 when the disciples ^G3101 heard ^G191 it, they fell ^G4098 on ^G1909 their ^G846 face, ^G4383 and ^G2532 were sore ^G4970 afraid. ^G5399

⁷ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 came ^G4334 and touched ^G680 them, ^G846 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Arise, ^G1453 and ^G2532 be ^G5399 not ^G3361 afraid. ^G5399

⁸ And ^G1161 when they had lifted up ^G1869 their ^G846 eyes, ^G3788 they saw ^G1492 no man, ^G3762 save ^G1508 Jesus ^G2424 only. ^G3441

⁹ And ^G2532 as they ^G846 came down ^G2597 from ^G575 the mountain, ^G3735 Jesus ^G2424 charged ^G1781 them, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Tell ^G2036 the vision ^G3705 to no man, ^G3367 until ^{G2193 G3739} the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 be risen again ^G450 from ^G1537 the dead. ^G3498

¹⁰ And ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Why ^G5101 then ^G3767 say ^G3004 the scribes ^G1122 that ^G3754 Elias ^G2243 must ^G1163 first ^G4412 come? ^G2064

¹¹ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Elias ^G2243 truly ^G3303 shall first ^G4412 come, ^G2064 and ^G2532 restore ^G600 all things. ^G3956

¹² But ^G1161 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 That ^G3754 Elias ^G2243 is come ^G2064 already, ^G2235 and ^G2532 they knew ^G1921 him ^G846 not, ^G3756 but ^G235 have done ^G4160 unto ^G1722 him ^G846 whatsoever ^G3745 they listed. ^G2309 Likewise ^G3779 shall ^G3195 also ^G2532 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 suffer ^G3958 of ^G5259 them. ^G846

¹³ Then ^G5119 the disciples ^G3101 understood ^G4920 that ^G3754 he spake ^G2036 unto them ^G846 of ^G4012 John ^G2491 the Baptist. ^G910

¹⁴ And ^G2532 when they ^G846 were come ^G2064 to ^G4314 the multitude, ^G3793 there came ^G4334 to him ^G846 a certain man, ^G444 kneeling down ^G1120 to him, ^G846 and ^G2532 saying, ^G3004

¹⁵ Lord, ^G2962 have mercy ^G1653 on my ^G3450 son: ^G5207 for ^G3754 he is lunatick, ^G4583 and ^G2532 sore ^G2560 vexed: ^G3958 for ^G1063 ofttimes ^G4178 he falleth ^G4098 into ^G1519 the fire, ^G4442 and ^G2532 oft ^G4178 into ^G1519 the water. ^G5204

¹⁶ And ^G2532 I brought ^G4374 him ^G846 to thy ^G4675 disciples, ^G3101 and ^G2532 they could ^G1410 not ^G3756 cure ^G2323 him. ^G846

¹⁷ Then ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said, ^G2036 O ^G5599 faithless ^G571 and ^G2532 perverse ^G1294 generation, ^G1074 how long ^{G2193 G4219} shall I be ^G2071 with ^G3326 you? ^G5216 how long ^{G2193 G4219} shall I suffer ^G430 you? ^G5216 bring ^G5342 him ^G846 hither ^G5602 to me. ^G3427

¹⁸ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 rebuked ^G2008 the devil; ^G1140 and ^G2532 he ^G846 departed ^G1831 out of ^G575 him: ^G846 and ^G2532 the child ^G3816 was cured ^G2323 from ^G575 that very ^G1565 hour. ^G5610

¹⁹ Then ^G5119 came ^G4334 the disciples ^G3101 to Jesus ^G2424 apart, ^{G2596 G2398} and said, ^G2036 Why ^G1302 could ^G1410 not ^G3756 we ^G2249 cast ^G1544 him ^G846 out? ^G1544

²⁰ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Because ^G1223 of your ^G5216 unbelief: ^G570 for ^G1063 verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 If ^G1437 ye have ^G2192 faith ^G4102 as ^G5613 a grain ^G2848 of mustard seed, ^G4615 ye shall say ^G2046 unto this ^G5129 mountain, ^G3735 Remove ^G3327 hence ^G1782 to yonder place; ^G1563 and ^G2532 it shall remove; ^G3327 and ^G2532 nothing ^G3762 shall be impossible ^G101 unto you. ^G5213

²¹ Howbeit ^G1161 this ^G5124 kind ^G1085 goeth ^G1607 not ^G3756 out ^G1607 but ^G1508 by ^G1722 prayer ^G4335 and ^G2532 fasting. ^G3521

²² And ^G1161 while they ^G846 abode ^G390 in ^G1722 Galilee, ^G1056 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 The Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 shall be ^G3195 betrayed ^G3860 into ^G1519 the hands ^G5495 of men: ^G444

²³ And ^G2532 they shall kill ^G615 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 the third ^G5154 day ^G2250 he shall be raised again. ^G1453 And ^G2532 they were exceeding ^G4970 sorry. ^G3076

²⁴ And ^G1161 when they ^G846 were come ^G2064 to ^G1519 Capernaum, ^G2584 they that received ^G2983 tribute ^G1323 money came ^G4334 to Peter, ^G4074 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Doth ^G5055 not ^G3756 your ^G5216 master ^G1320 pay ^G5055 tribute? ^G1323

²⁵ He saith, ^G3004 Yes. ^G3483 And ^G2532 when ^G3753 he was come ^G1525 into ^G1519 the house, ^G3614 Jesus ^G2424 prevented ^G4399 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 What ^G5101 thinkest ^G1380 thou, ^G4671 Simon? ^G4613 of ^G575 whom ^G5101 do ^G2983 the kings ^G935 of the earth ^G1093 take ^G2983 custom ^G5056 or ^G2228 tribute? ^G2778 of ^G575 their own ^G846 children, ^G5207 or ^G2228 of ^G575 strangers? ^G245

²⁶ Peter ^G4074 saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Of ^G575 strangers. ^G245 Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G5346 unto him, ^G846 Then ^G686 are ^G1526 the children ^G5207 free. ^G1658

²⁷ Notwithstanding, ^G1161 lest ^G3363 we should offend ^G4624 them, ^G846 go thou ^G4198 to ^G1519 the sea, ^G2281 and cast ^G906 an hook, ^G44 and ^G2532 take up ^G142 the fish ^G2486 that first ^G4412 cometh up; ^G305 and ^G2532 when thou hast opened ^G455 his ^G846 mouth, ^G4750 thou shalt find ^G2147 a piece of money: ^G4715 that ^G1565 take, ^G2983 and give ^G1325 unto them ^G846 for ^G473 me ^G1700 and ^G2532 thee. ^G4675

¹ 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 and he was transfigured before them; and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light.

³ And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him.

⁴ 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 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 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

⁷ And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

⁸ And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.

⁹ 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 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?

¹¹ And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things:

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.

¹³ Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

¹⁴ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, saying,

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.

¹⁶ And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

¹⁷ 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 And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour.

¹⁹ Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out?

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.

²¹ `But this kind goeth not out save by prayer and fasting.'

²² And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men;

²³ and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.

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?

²⁵ 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 And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free.

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.

¹ And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,

² and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

³ and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him.

⁴ And Peter answering said to Jesus, `Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths -- for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.'

⁵ While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'

⁶ And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,

⁷ and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, `Rise, be not afraid,'

⁸ and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.

⁹ And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, `Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.'

¹⁰ And his disciples questioned him, saying, `Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?'

¹¹ And Jesus answering said to them, `Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,

¹² and I say to you -- Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.'

¹³ Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.

¹⁴ And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,

¹⁵ and saying, `Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water,

¹⁶ and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.'

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'

¹⁸ and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.

¹⁹ Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, `Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?'

²⁰ And Jesus said to them, `Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

²¹ and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and fasting.'

²² And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, `The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,

²³ and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,' and they were exceeding sorry.

²⁴ And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, `Your teacher -- doth he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, `Yes.'

²⁵ And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, `What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth -- from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?'

²⁶ Peter saith to him, `From the strangers.' Jesus said to him, `Then are the sons free;

²⁷ but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.'

¹ And after six days Jesus takes with [him] Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart.

² And he was transfigured before them. And his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light;

³ and lo, Moses and Elias appeared to them talking with him.

⁴ And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good we should be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elias.

⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, *This* is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him.

⁶ And the disciples hearing [it] fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified.

⁷ And Jesus coming to [them] touched them, and said, Rise up, and be not terrified.

⁸ And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone.

⁹ And as they descended from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man be risen up from among [the] dead.

¹⁰ And [his] disciples demanded of him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first have come?

¹¹ And he answering said to them, Elias indeed comes first and will restore all things.

¹² But I say unto you that Elias has already come, and they have not known him, but have done unto him whatever they would. Thus also the Son of man is about to suffer from them.

¹³ Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the baptist.

¹⁴ And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, falling on his knees before him, and saying,

¹⁵ Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and suffers sorely; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

¹⁶ And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.

¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.

¹⁹ Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said [to him], Why were not *we* able to cast him out?

²⁰ And he says to them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye shall say to this mountain, Be transported hence there, and it shall transport itself; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

²¹ But this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.

²² And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into [the] hands of men,

²³ and they shall kill him; and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were greatly grieved.

²⁴ And when they came to Capernaum, those who received the didrachmas came to Peter and said, Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas?

²⁵ He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers?

²⁶ Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

²⁷ But that we may not be an offence to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when thou hast opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater; take that and give it to them for me and thee.

¹ After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

² He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.

³ Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

⁴ Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let's make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."

⁶ When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

⁷ Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and don't be afraid."

⁸ Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

⁹ As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Don't tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

¹⁰ His disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

¹¹ Jesus answered them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,

¹² but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn't recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

¹³ Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

¹⁴ When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,

¹⁵ "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.

¹⁶ So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."

¹⁷ Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."

¹⁸ Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

¹⁹ Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"

²⁰ He said to them, "Because of your unbelief. For most assuredly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

²¹ But this kind doesn't go out except by prayer and fasting."

²² While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

²³ and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.

²⁴ When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins{A didrachma is a Greek silver coin worth 2 drachmas, about as much as 2 Roman denarii, or about 2 days wages. It was commonly used to pay the half-shekel temple tax, because 2 drachmas were worth one half shekel of silver.} came to Peter, and said, "Doesn't your teacher pay the didrachma?"

²⁵ He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"

²⁶ Peter said to him, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.

²⁷ But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin.{A stater is a silver coin equivalent to four Attic or two Alexandrian drachmas, or a Jewish shekel: just exactly enough to cover the half-shekel Temple Tax for two people.} Take that, and give it to them for me and you."

---

¹ And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and makes them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves.

² And he was changed in form before them; and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.

³ And Moses and Elijah came before their eyes, talking with him.

⁴ And Peter made answer and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will let me, I will make here three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

⁵ While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.

⁶ And at these words the disciples went down on their faces in great fear.

⁷ And Jesus came and put his hand on them and said, Get up and have no fear.

⁸ And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, but Jesus only.

⁹ And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

¹⁰ And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

¹¹ And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right:

¹² But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

²⁴ And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the Temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?

²⁵ He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?

²⁶ And when he said, From other people, Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

²⁷ But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.
