Matthew 17
1¶ And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, his brother, and brought them apart up into a high mountain
2and [he] was transfigured before them, and his face shined as the sun, and his raiment was as white as the light.
3And, behold, Moses and Elijah appeared unto them talking with him.
4Then Peter answered and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to remain here; if thou desire, let us make three tabernacles here: one for thee and one for Moses and one for Elijah.
5While he yet spoke, behold, a cloud of light 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.
6And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and feared greatly.
7Then Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise and be not afraid.
8And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus only.
9And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one until the Son of man is risen from the dead.
10Then his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
11And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall come first and restore all things.
12But I say unto you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatever they pleased. Likewise the Son of man shall also suffer of them.
13Then the disciples understood that he spoke unto them of John the Baptist.
14¶ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic and suffers miserably; for many times he has fallen into the fire and often into the water.
16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17Then Jesus answered and said, O unfaithful and crooked generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him here to me.
18And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon departed out of him and the child was cured from that very hour.
19Then the disciples came to Jesus apart and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unfaithfulness; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove from here to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21Howbeit this lineage of demons does not go out but by prayer and fasting.
22¶ And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men;
23and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
24¶ And when they were come to Capernaum, those that received the two drachmas came to Peter and said, Does not your master pay the two drachmas?
25He said, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus spoke unto him first, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own sons or of strangers?
26Peter said unto him, Of strangers. Jesus said unto him, Then the sons are free.
27Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea and cast a hook and take up the first fish that comes up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a stater, a coin worth four drachmas; take that, and give it unto them for me and thee.

The Transfiguration
(Mark 9:1–13; Luke 9:28–36; 2 Peter 1:16–21)
1After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
3Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus. 4Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three shelters #17:4 Or three tabernacles—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.#17:5 Cited in 2 Peter 1:17 Listen to Him!” 6When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown in terror.
7Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Do not be afraid.” 8And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
10The disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11Jesus replied, “Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things. 12But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”
13Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
The Boy with a Demon
(Mark 9:14–29; Luke 9:37–42)
14When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus and knelt before Him. 15“Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
17“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to Me.” 18Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.
The Power of Faith
(Luke 17:5–10)
19Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
20“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”#17:20 BYZ and TR include 21 But this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting; see Mark 9:29.
The Second Prediction of the Passion
(Mark 9:30–32; Luke 9:43–45)
22When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men. 23They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised to life.” And the disciples were deeply grieved.
The Temple Tax
24After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax #17:24 Greek the didrachma; twice in this verse came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”
25“Yes,” he answered.
When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”
26“From others,” Peter answered.
“Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus declared. 27“But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin.#17:27 Greek a stater; that is, a silver coin worth approximately one shekel Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours.”
