1 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: 2 and he was transfigured before them; and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light. 3 And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. 4 And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 5 While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son(a), in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touching them, said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus himself, alone.
9 And as they were coming
down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell
the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from
the dead. 10 And the disciples asked him, saying,
Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come? 11
And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall
restore all things: 12 but I say into you, that Elijah is
come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him
whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also
suffer of them. 13 Then understood the disciples that he
spake unto them of John the Baptist.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, 15 saying, Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and off-times into the water. 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 And 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 hither to me. 18 And Jesus rebuked it; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour.
19 Then came the
disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast
it out? 20 And he saith unto them, Because of your little
faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a
grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain,
Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and
nothing shall be impossible unto you.
22 And while they were gathering
in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be
delivered up into the hands of men; 23 and they shall kill
him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they
were exceeding sorry.(b)
24 And when they were
come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel(c)
came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the
half-shekel? 25 He saith, Yea. And when he came into the
house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest
thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they
receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from
strangers? 26 And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said
unto him, Therefore the sons are free. 27 But, lest we
cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a
hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when
thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel(d):
that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
Footnotes
Verse 21 [But
this kind goeth not out save by prayer and fasting] is a later
addition to the Greek text.
(a) "a host of learned Trinitarians have not scrupled to affirm,
that a pre-eminence and a subordination obtain among the three persons
in the Godhead; that the Father is the Source, the Fountain, the Head,
the Principle of being; and that the Son and the Holy Ghost derived
their existence and their attributes from the Father; language than
which none can more clearly imply superiority, inferiority, and
inequality; or, in other words, that the Father, and he only, is the
true God." John Wilson, Unitarian Principles Confirmed by Trinitarian
Testimonies, 1855
(b) Capel has "they were very distressed"
(c) TCNT has "collectors of the temple tax"
(d) The Greek text has "stater" here; AT has "a dollar"
and Moffatt has "four drachmas."
