Matthew 17

Coverdale(i) 1 And after sixe dayes Iesus toke Peter Iames, and Ihon his brother, and brought them vp in to an hye mountayne out of the waye, 2 and was transfigured before the: & his face shone as ye Sonne, and his clothes were as white as the light. 3 And beholde, there appeared vnto the Moses and Elias talkinge with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and sayde vnto Iesus: LORDE, here is good beynge for us. Yf thou wilt, let us make here thre tabernacles: one for the, one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 Whyle he yet spake, beholde, a bright cloude ouershadowed them: and lo, there came a voyce out of the cloude, saienge: This is my deare sonne, in whom I delyte, heare him. 6 Whan ye disciples herde that, they fell vpon their faces, and were sore afrayed. 7 But Iesus came and touched them, and sayde: Aryse, and be not afrayed. 8 And whan they loked vp, they sawe no man, but Iesus onely. 9 And wha they came downe fro ye mountayne, Iesus charged them, and sayde: Tell no man of this vision, tyll the sonne of man be rysen agayne from ye deed. 10 And his disciples axed him, and sayde: Why saye the scrybes then, that Elias must first come? 11 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Elias shall come first in dede, and bringe all thinges to right agayne. 12 But I saye vnto you: Elias is come all ready, & they knewe him not, but haue done vnto him what they wolde. Eue so shal also the sonne of man suffre of them. 13 Then the disciples perceaued, that he spake vnto them of Ihon the baptist. 14 And whan they were come to the people, there came vnto him a certayne man, and kneled vnto him, and sayde: 15 LORDE, haue mercy vpon my sonne, for he is lunatike, & sore vexed. He falleth oft tymes in to ye fyre, and oft in to ye water: 16 and I brought him vnto thy disciples, and they coude not heale him. 17 Iesus answered, and sayde: O thou faithles and frowarde generacion, how longe shal I be with you? How longe shal I suffre you? Bringe him hither to me. 18 And Iesus rebuked him, and ye deuyll wete out of him, and ye childe was healed, euen that same houre. 19 Then came the disciples vnto Iesus secretly, & sayde: Why coude not we cast him out? 20 Iesus sayde vnto them: Because of youre vnbeleue. For I saye verely vnto you? Yf ye haue faith as a grane of mustarde sede, ye maye saye vnto this mountayne: Remoue hence to yonder place, and he shal remoue, nether shal enythinge be vnpossible vnto you. 21 How beit this kinde goeth not out, but by prayer and fastynge. 22 Whyle they occupied in Galile, Iesus sayde vnto them: it wil come to passe, that the sonne of man shalbe delyuered in to the hondes of men, 23 and they shal kyll him, and the thirde daye shal he aryse agayne. And they were very sory. 24 Now wha they were come to Capernaum, they that receaued ye tribute money, came to Peter, and sayde: Doth youre master paye tribute? 25 He sayed: yee. And when he was come home, Iesus preuented him, and sayde: What thinkest thou Symon? Of whom do the kynges of the earth take toll or tribute? Of their children, or of straungers? 26 Then sayde Peter to him: Of straungers. Iesus sayde vnto him: Then are ye children fre. 27 Neuertheles lest we offende them, go thy waye to the see, and cast thine angle, and take the fysh that first cometh vp, and whan thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt fynde a pece of twenty pens, take that, and geue it them for me and the.
