And after six days Jesus takes with [him] Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart.
And he was transfigured before them. And his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light;
and lo, Moses and Elias appeared to them talking with him.
And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good we should be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elias.
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him.
And the disciples hearing [it] fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified.
And Jesus coming to [them] touched them, and said, Rise up, and be not terrified.
And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone.
And as they descended from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man be risen up from among [the] dead.
And [his] disciples demanded of him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first have come?
And he answering said to them, Elias indeed comes first and will restore all things.
But I say unto you that Elias has already come, and they have not known him, but have done unto him whatever they would. Thus also the Son of man is about to suffer from them.
Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, falling on his knees before him, and saying,
Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and suffers sorely; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.
And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.
And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.
Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said [to him], Why were not we able to cast him out?
And he says to them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye shall say to this mountain, Be transported hence there, and it shall transport itself; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
But this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.
And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into [the] hands of men,
and they shall kill him; and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were greatly grieved.
And when they came unto Capernaum, those that receive the half-shekels came to Peter and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekels?
He saith, Yea. And when he entered into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons or from other folk?
He saith to him, From other folk. Jesus said to him, Well then the sons are free.
But lest we cause them to stumble, go unto the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and having opened its mouth, thou wilt find a shekel: that take and give to them for me and thee.
