17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine
as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias
talking with him.
17:4 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.
17:5 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.
17:6 And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face,
and were sore afraid.
17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be
not afraid.
17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man,
save Jesus only.
17:9 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.
17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the
scribes that Elias must first come?
17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall
first come, and restore all things.
17:12 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.
17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of
John the Baptist.
17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to
him a [certain] man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is a lunatick, and
sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into
the water.
17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not
cure him.
17:17 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.
17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him:
and the child was cured from that very hour.
17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why
could not we cast him out?
17:20 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.
17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them,
The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be
raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received
tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master
pay tribute?
17:25 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?
17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him,
Then are the children free.
17:27 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.
