1 And after six days Jesus is taking aside Peter and James and John, his brother, and is bringing them up into a high mountain, privately,
2 and was transformed in front of them. And His face shines as the sun, yet His garments became white as the light."
3 And lo! Moses and Elijah were seen by them, conferring with Him."
4 Now, answering, Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is ideal for us to be here! If Thou art willing, I shall be making three tabernacles here, for Thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one."
5 While he is still speaking, lo! a luminous cloud overshadows them, and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight. Hear Him!"
6 And, hearing it, the disciples fall on their faces and were tremendously afraid."
7 And Jesus approached and, touching them, said, "Be roused, and fear not!"
8 Now, lifting up their eyes, they perceived no one except Jesus Himself only."
9 And, at their descending out of the mountain, Jesus directs them, saying, "Now you may tell no one of the vision till the Son of Mankind may be roused from among the dead."
10 And His disciples inquire of Him, saying, 'Why, then, are the scribes saying that Elijah must be coming first?
11 Now He, answering, said to them that "Elijah is indeed coming, and will be restoring all."
12 Yet I am saying to you that Elijah came already, and they did not recognize him, but they do to him whatever they will. Thus the Son of Mankind also is about to be suffering by them."
13 Then the disciples understand that He spoke to them concerning John the baptist.
14 And, at their coming to the throng, a man came to Him, falling on his knees before Him and saying,
15 Lord, be merciful to my son, for he is epileptic, and is having an evil time! For often he is falling into the fire and often into the water."
16 And I bring him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him."
17 Now then answering, Jesus said to them, "O generation unbelieving and perverse! Till when shall I be with you? Till when shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me."
18 And Jesus rebukes it, and the demon came out from him, and the boy was cured from that hour."
19 Then the disciples, coming to Jesus privately, said, "Wherefore could we not cast it out?
20 Now He is saying to them, "Because of your scant faith. For verily I am saying to you, If you should have faith as a kernel of mustard, you shall be declaring to this mountain, 'Proceed hence-there!' and it will be proceeding. And nothing will be impossible for you."
21 - 22 Now at their conspiring in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Mankind is about to be given up into the hands of men,
23 and they will be killing Him, and the third day He will be roused.And they were tremendously sorry."
24 Now at their coming into Capernaum, those getting the double drachma came to Peter and say, "Is not your teacher settling the double drachma tribute?
25 He is saying, "Yes.And, coming into the house, Jesus forestalls him, saying, "What are you supposing, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom are they getting tribute or poll tax? From their sons, or from the aliens?
26 Now he averred, "From the aliens.Now at his saying "From the aliens,Jesus averred to him, "Consequently the sons, surely, are free."
27 Yet, lest we should be snaring them, go, cast a fish hook into the sea, and pick up the first fish coming up, and opening its mouth, you will be finding a stater. Getting that, give it to them for Me and you."
