Mattityahu (Mat) 17
17
1Six days later, Yeshua took Kefa, Ya‘akov and his brother Yochanan and led them up a high mountain privately. 2As they watched, he began to change form — his face shone like the sun, and his clothing became as white as light. 3Then they looked and saw Moshe and Eliyahu speaking with him. 4Kefa said to Yeshua, “It’s good that we’re here, Lord. I’ll put up three shelters if you want — one for you, one for Moshe and one for Eliyahu.” 5While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them; and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!” 6When the talmidim heard this, they were so frightened that they fell face down on the ground. 7But Yeshua came and touched them. “Get up!” he said, “Don’t be afraid.” 8So they opened their eyes, looked up and saw only Yeshua by himself.
9As they came down the mountain, Yeshua ordered them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” 10The talmidim asked him, “Then why do the Torah-teachers say that Eliyahu must come first?” 11He answered, “On the one hand, Eliyahu is coming and will restore all things; 12on the other hand, I tell you that Eliyahu has come already, and people did not recognize him but did whatever they pleased to him. In the same way, the Son of Man too is about to suffer at their hands.” 13Then the talmidim understood that he was talking to them about Yochanan the Immerser.
14As they came up to the crowd, a man approached Yeshua, kneeled down in front of him, 15and said, “Sir, have mercy on my son, because he is an epileptic and has such terrible fits that he often falls into the fire or into the water. 16I brought him to your talmidim, but they couldn’t heal him.” 17Yeshua answered, “Perverted people, without any trust! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!” 18Yeshua rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, so that from that moment he was healed.
19Then the talmidim went to him privately and said, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” 20He said to them, “Because you have such little trust! Yes! I tell you that if you have trust as tiny as a mustard seed, you will be able to say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there!’ and it will move; indeed, nothing will be impossible for you!” 21
22As they were going about together in the Galil, Yeshua said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of people 23who will put him to death, and on the third day he will be raised.” And they were filled with sadness.
24When they came to K’far-Nachum, the collectors of the half-shekel came to Kefa and said, “Doesn’t your rabbi pay the Temple tax?” 25“Of course he does,” said Kefa. When he arrived home, Yeshua spoke first. “Shim‘on, what’s your opinion? The kings of the earth — from whom do they collect duties and taxes? From their sons or from others?” 26“From others,” he answered. “Then,” said Yeshua, “The sons are exempt. 27But to avoid offending them — go to the lake, throw out a line, and take the first fish you catch. Open its mouth, and you will find a shekel. Take it and give it to them for me and for you.”

The Transfiguration
(Mark 9.2-13; Luke 9.28-36)
1 #
2 Pet 1.17,18. And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart, 2and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Eli´jah talking with him. 4Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Eli´jah. 5#Isa 42.1; Matt 3.17; 12.18; Mark 1.11; Luke 3.22. While he yet spake, 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. 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 when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. 10#Mal 4.5. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Eli´jah must first come? 11And Jesus answered and said unto them, Eli´jah truly shall first come, and restore all things. 12#Matt 11.14. But I say unto you, That Eli´jah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 13Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit
(Mark 9.14-29; Luke 9.37-43)
14And 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 sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. 16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. 18And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20#Matt 21.21; Mark 11.23; 1 Cor 13.2. And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: 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. 21Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.#17.21 This verse is not found in all early manuscripts.
Jesus Again Foretells His Death
(Mark 9.30-32; Luke 9.43-45)
22And 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.
Payment of the Tribute Money
24 #
Exod 30.13; 38.26. And when they were come to Caper´na-um, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 25He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 27Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, 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 piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
