1 And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves, 2 and was transfigured before them. And His face shone like the sun, and His clothing was white as the light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You will, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 5 While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him." 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid." 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man except Jesus only. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, "Tell the vision to no man until the Son of Man has risen again from the dead." 10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" 11 And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, Elijah shall come first and restore all things. 12 But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not know him but have done to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man shall also suffer from them." 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist. 14 And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is insane and greatly vexed. For often he falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him." 17 Then Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me." 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and he departed out of him. And the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus by themselves and said, "Why could we not cast him out?" 20 And Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Move from here to a distant place,' and it shall move, and nothing shall be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting." 22 And while they remained in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, 23 and they shall kill Him, and the third day He shall be raised again." And they were exceedingly sorry. 24 And when they had come to Capernaum, those who received tribute money came to Peter and said, "Does your Master not pay tribute?" 25 He said, "Yes." And when he had come into the house, Jesus said to him first, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? From their own children or from strangers?" 26 Peter said to Him, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Then the children are free. 27 However, lest we should offend them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. And when you have opened its mouth, you shall find a piece of money. Take that and give it to them for Me and you."
