* And after six days , Jesus took Peter and James , and his brother John , and brought them up into a high mountain apart . * And He was transfigured before them , and His face shone like the sun , and His clothing became white as the light . * And , behold ! Moses and Elijah appeared to them , talking with Him . * And answering , Peter said to Jesus , Lord , it is good for us to be here . If You will , let us make three tents here , one for You , one for Moses , and one for Elijah . * While he was yet speaking , behold , a radiant cloud overshadowed them . And , behold , a voice out of the cloud saying , This is My Son , the Beloved , in whom I delight ; hear Him . Psa . strkjv @2:7 ; Genesis . strkjv @22:2 ; Isaiah . strkjv @42:1 ; Deuteronomy . strkjv @18:15 * And hearing , the disciples fell on their face and were greatly terrified . * And coming near , Jesus touched them and said , Rise up , and do not be terrified . * And lifting up their eyes , they did not see anyone except Jesus alone . * And as they were coming down from the mountain , Jesus charged them , saying , Tell the vision to no one until the Son of man is raised from the dead . * And His disciples asked Him , saying , Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first ? * And answering , Jesus said to them , Elijah indeed comes first and shall restore all things . * But I say to you , Elijah has already come , and they did not know him , but did to him whatever they desired . So also the Son of man is about to suffer by them . * Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist . * And they coming to the crowd , a man came near to Him , kneeling down to Him , and saying , * Lord , pity my son . For he is moonstruck and suffers miserably . For he often falls into the fire , and often into the water . * And I brought him to Your disciples , and they were not able to heal him . * And answering , Jesus said , O faithless and perverted generation ! How long will I be with you ? How long shall I bear with you ? Bring him here to Me . * And Jesus rebuked him , and the demon came out from him ; and the boy was healed from that hour . * Then coming up to Jesus privately , the disciples said , Why were we not able to cast him out ? * And Jesus said to them , Because of your unbelief . For truly I say to you , If you have faith as a grain of mustard , you will say to this mountain , Move from here to there ! And it will move . And nothing shall be impossible to you . * But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting . * And while they were staying in Galilee , Jesus said to them , The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men . * And they will kill Him , and on the third day He will be raised . And they grieved exceedingly . * And they coming into Capernaum , those receiving the didrachmas came to Peter and said , Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas ? * He said , Yes . And when he entered into the house , Jesus anticipated him , saying , What do you think , Simon ? From whom do the kings of the earth receive custom or tribute ? From their sons or from strangers ? * Peter said to Him , From strangers . Jesus said to him , Then truly the sons are free . * But that we may not offend them , going to the sea , throw in a hook and take the first fish coming up . And opening its mouth , you will find a stater . Taking that , give to them for you and Me .
