|
1 |
And after six days
Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into
an high mountain apart,
|
|
|
2 |
And was transfigured
before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as
the light.
|
|
3 |
And, behold, there
appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
|
|
4 |
Then 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
Elias.
|
|
5 |
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.
|
|
6 |
And when the
disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
|
|
7 |
And Jesus came and
touched them, and said, Arise, and be not
afraid.
|
|
8 |
And when they had
lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
|
|
9 |
And 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 |
And his disciples
asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
|
|
11 |
And Jesus answered
and said unto them, Elias truly shall first
come, and restore all things.
|
|
12 |
But I say unto you, That Elias 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.
|
|
13 |
Then the disciples
understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
|
|
14 |
And when they were
come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to
him, and saying,
|
|
15 |
Lord, have mercy on
my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the
fire, and oft into the water.
|
|
16 |
And I brought him to
thy disciples, and they could not cure him. |
|
17 |
Then 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.
|
|
18 |
And Jesus rebuked
the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that
very hour.
|
|
19 |
Then came the
disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
|
|
20 |
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. |
|
21 |
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer
and fasting. |
|
22 |
And while they abode
in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man
shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
|
|
23 |
And they shall kill him, and the third day he
shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
|
|
24 |
And when they were
come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said,
Doth not your master pay tribute?
|
|
25 |
He 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?
|
|
26 |
Peter saith unto
him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then
are the children free.
|
|
27 |
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go
thou to the sea, and cast an 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.
