Matthew

Chapter 17

1 And after days six takes the Jesus the Peter, and James, and John the brother of him; and leads up them into a mountain high privately.

2 And he was transfigured in the presence of them, and shone the face of him as the sun; the and garments of him become white as the light.

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

4 Answering and the Peter said to the Jesus: O lord, good it is us here to be; if thou wilt, we may make here three tents, to thee one, and Moses one, and one Elias.

5 Still of him speaking, lo, a cloud of light overshadowed them; and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is the son of me the beloved, in whom I delight; of him hear you.

6 And having heard the disciples, they fell upon face of them, and were frightened greatly.

7 And coming near the Jesus, touched them, and said: Be you raised, and not be afraid.

8 Lifting up then the eyes of them, no one they saw, except the Jesus alone.

9 And descending of them, from the mountain, charged them the Jesus, saying: To no one you may tell the vision, till the son of the man from dead (ones) should be raised.

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

11 The but Jesus answering said to them: Elias truly comes first, and shall restore all things;

12 I say but to you, that Elias just now came, and not they knew him, but have done to him as much as they wished; thus also the son of the man is about to suffer by them.

13 Then understood the disciples, that concerning John the dipper he spoke to them.

14 And having come of them to the crowd, came to him a man, knee-falling him,

15 and saying: O lord, have pity on me the son; for he is moon-struck, and sadly suffers; often for he falls into the fire, and often into the water.

16 And I brought him to the disciples of thee, and not they were able him to heal.

17 Answering and the Jesus said: O generation unfaithful and having been perverted; till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring you to me him here.

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

19 Then coming the disciples to the Jesus by himself, said: Why we not were able to cast out it?

20 The and Jesus said to them: On account of the unbelief of you. Indeed for I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard, you will say to the mountain this. Be thou removed from here there, and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible to you.

21 This but the kind not goes out, if not in prayer and fasting.

22 Were traveling and of them in the Galilee, said to them the Jesus: Is about the son of the man to be delivered up into hands of men,

23 and they will kill him; and the third day he will be raised. And they were grieved exceedingly.

24 Having arrived and of them at Capernaum, came those the didrachmas receiving to the Peter, and said: The teacher of you not pays the didrachmas?

25 He says: Yes. And when he was come into the house, anticipated him the Jesus, saying: Which to thee seems right, Simon? The kings of the earth from whom do they take taxes or census? from the sons of them, or from the aliens?

26 Says to him the Peter: From the aliens. Says to him the Jesus: Then exempt are the sons. 

27 That but not we may offend them, going to the sea, cast thou a hook, and the ascending first fish take up; and opening the mouth of him, thou wilt find a stater; that taking, give to them for me and thee.
