Mattityahu 17
17
1And after shisha yamim (six days), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took Kefa, Ya'akov and Yochanan his brother; he brings them up to a high mountain in yechidus.
2And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was transfigured before them, and Moshiachʼs face shone like the shemesh (sun), and his garments became brilliant like the ohr.
3And hinei! There appeared before them Moshe Rabbenu and Eliyahu HaNavi conferring with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
4And Kefa said in reply to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will make shalosh sukkot here: one for you, and one for Moshe Rabbenu, and one for Eliyahu HaNavi.
5While he was speaking, hinei! A brightly shining anan (cloud) overshadowed them, and hinei! A bat kol (a voice from heaven) out of the anan was saying, This is My Ben ahuvi (beloved Son) with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him.
6And having heard this, the talmidim fell on their faces and were filled with pachad.
7And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to them, and touched them, and said, Arise, and do not be afraid.
8And lifting their eyes, they saw no one except only Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach himself, alone.
9And as Moshiachʼs talmidim were coming down from the mountain, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave them this directive saying, Tell the mareh (vision) to no one until the Bar Enosh#17:9 Moshiach has undergone the Techiyas HaMoshiach.
10And Moshiachʼs talmidim asked him, saying, Why then do the Sofrim say that it is necessary for Eliyahu HaNavi to come first?
11And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, Eliyahu HaNavi does indeed have his coming and will restore all things.
12But I say to you, that Eliyahu has come already, and they did not have daas of him, but did to him whatever they willed.#17:12 Mt 6:10 So also the Bar Enosh#17:12 Moshiach is about to suffer by them.
13Then the Moshiachʼs talmidim had binah that he spoke to them about Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva.
14And when they came to the multitude, a man came up to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, falling down before him.
15And the man said, Adoni, grant rachamim (mercy) on this ben (son) of mine, for he is an epileptic, and suffers horribly; for often he falls into the eish, and often into the mayim.
16And I brought him to your talmidim, and they could not give him refuah.
17And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, O perverted generation without emunah, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to me.
18And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach rebuked it, and the shed came out of him, and the bocher received his refuah that hour.
19Then the talmidim came to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in a yechidus (private meeting with the Rebbe), and said, Why were we not able to cast it out?
20And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, On account of your little emunah, for, omein, I say to you, if you have emunah as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Move from here, and it shall be moved; and nothing shall be impossible for you.
21But this kind#17:21 i.e., kind of mazikim (malicious spirits) do not come out except by tefillah and tzom.
22And as they were gathering together in the Galil, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, The Bar Enosh#17:22 Moshiach is about to be handed over, even betrayed, into the hands of Bnei Adam.
23And they will kill him, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach will have a histalkus (passing) and will undergo the Techiyas HaMoshiach on the Yom HaShlishi. And Moshiachʼs talmidim were deeply moved with agmat nefesh (grief).
24And when they had come to K'far-Nachum, those who collected the two drachma tax approached Kefa, and said, Does your rebbe not pay the two drachma tax?
25Kefa said, Ken. And when Kefa came into the bais (house), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach anticipated Kefa with this question, What think you, Shim'on? From whom do the melechei haaretz (kings of the earth) collect customs or poll tax, from their banim (sons) or from zarim (strangers)?
26And upon Kefaʼs saying, From zarim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to Kefa, Veha raya (consequently), the banim are patur (exempt, free).
27But, lest we give them offense, go to the yam (sea), and cast in a hook, and take the first dag (fish) that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a stater (coin). Take that and give it to them for you and for me.

Matthew 17
17
CHAPTER 17
1And after six days Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and led them aside into an high hill,
2and was transfigured, [or turned], into another likeness before them. And his face shone as the sun; and his clothes were made white as snow.
3And lo! Moses and Elijah appeared to them, and spake with him.
4And Peter answered, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good us to be here. If thou wilt, make we here three tabernacles; to thee one, to Moses one, and one to Elijah.
5Yet while he spake, lo! a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, that said, This is my dearworthy Son, in whom I have well pleased to me; hear ye him.
6And the disciples heard, and felled down on their faces, and dreaded greatly.
7And Jesus came, and touched them, and said to them, Rise up, and do not ye dread.
8And they lifted up their eyes, and saw no man, but Jesus alone.
9And as they came down of the hill [or down from the mountain], Jesus commanded to them, and said, Say ye to no man the vision, till man’s Son rise again from death.
10And his disciples asked him, and said, What then say the scribes, that it behooveth that Elijah come first?
11He answered, and said to them, Elijah shall come, and he shall restore all things.
12And I say to you, that Elijah is now come, and they knew him not, but they did in him whatever things they would; and so man’s Son shall suffer of them.
13Then the disciples understood, that he said to them of John the Baptist.
14And when he came to the people, a man came to him, and felled down on his knees before him, and said,
15Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, and suffereth evil, for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft times into the water.
16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they might not heal him.
17Jesus answered, and said, A! thou generation unbelieveful, [or out of the faith], and wayward; how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring ye him hither to me.
18And Jesus blamed him, and the devil went out from him; and the child was healed from that hour.
19Then the disciples came to Jesus privily, and said to him, Why might not we cast him out?
20Jesus saith to them, For your unbelief. Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, as a corn of sinapi, ye shall say to this hill, Pass thou [from] hence, and it shall pass; and nothing shall be impossible to you;
21but this kind is not cast out, but by prayer and fasting.
22And whiles they were abiding together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, Man’s Son shall be betrayed into the hands of men;
23and they shall slay him, and the third day he shall rise again to life. And they were [made] full sorry [or were sorrowful greatly].
24And when they came to Capernaum, they that took tribute, came to Peter, and said to him, Your master payeth not tribute?
25And he said, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus came before him, and said, Simon, what seemeth to thee? Kings of the earth, of whom take they tribute? of their sons, either of aliens?
26And he said, Of aliens. Jesus said to him, Then sons be free.
27But that we offend them not, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take that fish that first cometh up; and, when his mouth is opened, thou shalt find a stater, [that is, a certain of money]; take it, and give [to them] for thee and for me.
