Matthew 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.

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.
