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.
