Matthew 17

The Transfiguration
Mk 9:2–13; Lk 9:28–36
1#Mt 26:37; Mk 5:37After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother and brought them up to a high mountain alone, 2#Ps 104:2; Mt 28:3and was transfigured before them. His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as the light. 3Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
4#Lk 9:33Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, let us make three tabernacles here: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5#Mt 3:17; Isa 42:1While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him.”
6#2Pe 1:18When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were filled with awe. 7#Da 8:18; 10:10But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Rise, and do not be afraid.” 8When they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
9#Mk 8:30As they came down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”
10#Mt 11:14; Mal 4:5–6His disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11#Lk 1:16–17; Mal 4:6Jesus answered, “Elijah truly does first come and will restore all things. 12#Mt 16:21But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they pleased. Likewise, the Son of Man will also suffer at their hands.” 13Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
The Healing of a Boy with a Demon
Mk 9:14–29; Lk 9:37–43
14When they came to the crowd, a man came to Him and knelt before Him, saying, 15#Mt 4:24“Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers terribly. He often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
17#Jn 20:27Then Jesus answered, “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#Mt 9:22Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him. And the child was healed instantly.
19Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast him out?”
20#Lk 17:6; Mt 13:31; 21:21Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. And nothing will be impossible for you. 21#Mk 9:29But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Jesus Again Foretells His Death and Resurrection
Mk 9:30–32; Lk 9:43b–45
22#Mt 16:21; 20:17–18While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, 23#Mt 16:21; Zec 13:7and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were extremely sorrowful.
Payment of the Temple Tax
24#Ex 30:13; 38:26; Mk 9:33When they came to Capernaum, those who collected tax money came to Peter and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the tax#Dt 25:5.?”
25#Mt 22:17; 22:19He said, “Yes.”
And when he came home, Jesus stopped him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take custom or taxes? From their own sons or from strangers?”
26Peter said to Him, “From strangers.”
Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. 27#1Co 8:13However, lest we offend them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. And when you open its mouth, you will find a coin. Take it and give it to them for you and Me.”

Matthew 17
17
1And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: 2and he was transfigured before them; and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light. 3And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. 4And 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. 5While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.
9And 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. 10And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come? 11And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things: 12but I say unto 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. 13Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
14And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying, 15Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water. 16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17And 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. 18And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour.
19Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out? 20And 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. 21#17:21 Many authorities, some ancient, insert v. 21. But this kind goeth not out save by prayer and fasting. See Mrk 9:29.
22And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men; 23and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.
24And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel? 25He 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? 26And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free. 27But, 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: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
