1. And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain apart,
2. And was transfigured before them: and his face shone like the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3. And, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
4. Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you wish, 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, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye 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 one, except Jesus only.
9. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus instructed them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?
11. And Jesus answered and said to them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12. But I say to you, That Elijah has come already, and they knew him not, but have done to him whatever they desired. Likewise shall also the Son of man 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 distressed: for frequently he falls into the fire, and frequently 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 devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, 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 over to there; and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
21. However this kind does not go out except 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 not your master pay tribute?
25. He said, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus met him, saying, What do you think, Simon? Of 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 are the children free.
27. Nevertheless, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first comes up; and when you have opened his mouth, you shall find a piece of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.
