Matthew 17

ECB(i) 1
THE METAMORPHOSIS OF YAH SHUA
And after six days Yah Shua takes Petros, Yaaqovos, and Yahn his brother, and privately brings them to a high mountain; 2 and is metamorphosed in front of them: and his face radiates as the sun and his garment becomes white as the light: 3 and behold, Mosheh and Eli Yah appear to them, talking with him. 4 And Petros answers Yah Shua, saying, Adonay, it is good for us to be here: if you will, we make three tabernacles here; one for you and one for Mosheh and one for Eli Yah. 5 While he still speaks, behold, a brightly lighted cloud overshadows them: and behold, a voice from the cloud, wording, This is my beloved Son, of whom I well-approve: Hear him! 6 - and the disciples hear and they fall on their face and are extremely awestricken. 7 And Yah Shua comes and touches them, and says, Rise! and, Be not awestricken! 8 And they lift their eyes and see no one - except Yah Shua only. 9 And as they descend the mountain, Yah Shua misvahs them, wording, Say the vision to no one, until the Son of humanity rises from the dead. 10
YAHN THE BAPTIZER IS THE ELI YAH TO COME
And his disciples ask him, wording, So why word the scribes that Eli Yah must first come? 11 And Yah Shua answers them, saying, Eli Yah indeed comes first and restores all: 12 and I word to you, that Eli Yah has already come: and they know him not but did in him as much as they willed: Thus also the Son of humanity suffers of them. 13 Then the disciples comprehend that he says to them concerning Yahn the Baptizer. 14
YAH SHUA REBUKES A DEMON
And they go to the multitude, and a human comes to him - kneeling to him, and wording, 15 Adonay, mercy my son: for he is lunatick and suffers evilly: for he falls often into the fire and often into the water: 16 and I offered him to your disciples, and they cannot cure him. 17 So Yah Shua answers, saying, O trustless and thoroughly perverted generation! Until when am I with you? Until when tolerate I you? Bring him here to me. 18 And Yah Shua rebukes the demon; and he departs from him: and the lad is cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples come to Yah Shua privately, and say, Why could we not eject him? 20 And Yah Shua says to them, Because of your trustlessness! Amen! I word to you, whenever you have trust as a kernal of mustard, you say to this mountain, Depart hence to yonder place! - it departs: - and naught is impossible to you 21 - and this genos proceeds not except in prayer and fasting. 22
YAH SHUA PROPHESIES HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION
And they remain in Galiyl, and Yah Shua says to them, The Son of humanity is about to be betrayed into the hands of humanity: 23 and they slaughter him; and the third day he rises. - and they are extremely sorrowed. 24
THE DOUBLE DRACHMA
And they come to Kaphar Nachum: and they who take the double drachma come to Petros, and say, Your doctor - completes/shalams he not the double drachma? 25 He words, Yes. And he enters the house; and Yah Shua anticipates him, wording, What think you, Shimon? Of whom do the sovereigns of the earth take completion/shalom or tribute? - Of their own sons? Or of others? 26 Petros words to him, Of others. Yah Shua says to him, Then indeed the sons are liberated: 27 but lest we scandalize them, go to the sea and cast a hook; and take the first fish that ascends; and when you open his mouth, you find a stater: take that, and give to them for me and you.
