馬 太 福 音 17
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
看到耶稣和摩西、以利亚在一起
17 六天后，耶稣带着彼得、雅各和约翰两兄弟登上一座高山，当时只有他们几个人在那里。 2 在他们面前，耶稣的容貌变了，他的脸庞像太阳一样明亮，衣服洁白如光。 3 突然，摩西和以利亚 [a]出现在他们面前，与耶稣谈话。
4 彼得对耶稣说∶“主，我们在这里真是太好了！如果您愿意，我在这里搭三个帐篷，一个给您，一个给摩西，另一个给以利亚。” 5 彼得正在说话时，一朵白云飘来，笼罩住他们，从云里传来一个声音说∶“这是我的爱子，他令我喜悦，你们要听他的话。”
6 门徒们听到这些，吓得匍匐在地上。 7 耶稣走过来抚摸着他们，说∶“起来吧，别害怕。” 8 他们再抬眼看时，除了耶稣以外，没有别人。
9 他们下山时，耶稣嘱咐他们∶“在人子从死里复活之前，不要告诉别人你们在山上看见的事。”
10 门徒问∶“律法师为什么说以利亚必定会先来临呢？”
11 耶稣回答说∶“以利亚的确将来临，他会把一切都安排的井井有条。 12 我告诉你们，以利亚已经来了，只是众人不知道他是谁，他们为所欲为地虐待他。这些人也会让人子遭受到同样虐待。” 13 门徒们这才明白耶稣以前说过的关于施洗者约翰的话。
耶稣治愈被邪灵缠身的病童
14 耶稣回到人群当中，一个人走过来，跪在他面前说： 15 “主啊，怜悯我的儿子吧！他得了癫痫病，痛苦极了，经常不是跌到火里，就是跌进水里， 16 我带他去见您的门徒，可是他们治不好他。”
17 耶稣回答说∶“你们这代毫无信仰、做恶的人啊！我还要和你们在一起呆多久呢？我还得忍耐你们到何时呢？把孩子带到我这里来吧。” 18 耶稣命令鬼离开那孩子，那孩子的病立刻就痊愈了。
19 耶稣的门徒走过来私下问他∶“我们为什么就赶不走鬼呢？”
20 耶稣说∶“那是因为你们缺乏信仰的缘故。我实话告诉你们，如果你们有像芥茉籽那样大的信仰，你们就能对这座山说∶‘从这里移到那边去。’山就会移过去，而且对你们来说，没有什么事情是不可能的。” 21 [b]
耶稣谈到自己的死
22 门徒们在加利利相聚。耶稣说∶“人子将被交到凡人手里， 23 他们将杀害他，但是，第三天他会复活。”听到这些，门徒们都很伤心。
耶稣谈交税
24 当耶稣和门徒们来到迦百农时，几个征收大殿税的人走到彼得面前，问∶“你们的老师交不交大殿税？”
25 彼得说∶“当然交。”
彼得进屋后，耶稣先开口说∶“西门，你怎么看这件事呢？世上的君王都从谁身上征收赋税呢？是从他的儿子们还是从其他人身上征收呢？”
26 彼得说∶“从其他人们身上征收。”
耶稣说∶“这样，他的儿子们就免税了。 27 不过，我们也不必触犯这些税官。你去湖边钓鱼，打开你钓到的第一条鱼的嘴巴，你会找到一枚四德拉克马的硬币，足够缴纳你和我的大殿税，你就拿它去交税吧。”

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount(A)
17 Now (B)after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, [a]let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 (C)While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, (D)“This is My beloved Son, (E)in whom I am well pleased. (F)Hear Him!” 6 (G)And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. 7 But Jesus came and (H)touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” 8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
9 Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”
10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, (I)“Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming [b]first and will (J)restore all things. 12 (K)But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they (L)did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise (M)the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.” 13 (N)Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.
A Boy Is Healed(O)
14 (P)And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is [c]an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O [d]faithless and (Q)perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus (R)rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”
20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your [e]unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, (S)if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 [f]However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Jesus Again Predicts His Death and Resurrection(T)
22 (U)Now while they were [g]staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, 23 and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up.” And they were exceedingly (V)sorrowful.
Peter and His Master Pay Their Taxes
24 (W)When they had come to [h]Capernaum, those who received the [i]temple tax came to Peter and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?”
25 He said, “Yes.”
And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from (X)strangers?”
26 Peter said to Him, “From strangers.”
Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. 27 Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a [j]piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.”

King James Version
17 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.
