Ang Pagbabagong-anyo ni Jesus(A)

17 Pagkaraan(B) ng anim na araw, isinama ni Jesus si Pedro at ang magkapatid na Santiago at Juan, at sila'y umakyat sa isang mataas na bundok. Habang sila'y naroroon, nakita nilang nagbago ang anyo ni Jesus, nagliwanag na parang araw ang kanyang mukha at nagningning sa kaputian ang kanyang damit. At nakita ng tatlong alagad sina Moises at Elias na nakikipag-usap kay Jesus. Sinabi ni Pedro kay Jesus, “Panginoon, mabuti't naririto kami. Kung gusto ninyo, magtatayo ako ng tatlong tolda, isa sa inyo, isa kay Moises at isa kay Elias.” Habang(C) nagsasalita pa si Pedro, nililiman sila ng napakaliwanag na ulap. Mula rito'y may tinig na nagsabi, “Ito ang minamahal kong Anak na lubos kong kinalulugdan. Pakinggan ninyo siya!” Nang marinig ng mga alagad ang tinig, labis silang natakot at nagpatirapa. Ngunit nilapitan sila ni Jesus at hinawakan. “Tumayo kayo, huwag kayong matakot!” sabi niya. Nang tumingin sila, si Jesus na lamang ang kanilang nakita.

Habang sila'y bumababa sa bundok, iniutos sa kanila ni Jesus, “Huwag ninyong sasabihin kaninuman ang tungkol sa pangitain hangga't hindi muling nabubuhay ang Anak ng Tao.” 10 Tinanong(D) siya ng mga alagad, “Bakit po sinasabi ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na dapat munang dumating si Elias?” 11 Sumagot(E) siya, “Darating nga si Elias upang ihanda ang lahat ng bagay. 12 At(F) sinasabi ko sa inyo, dumating na si Elias ngunit hindi siya kinilala ng mga tao, at ginawa nila kay Elias ang gusto nila. Kaya't tulad ng ginawa sa kanya, pahihirapan din nila ang Anak ng Tao.” 13 Naunawaan ng mga alagad na si Juan na Tagapagbautismo ang tinutukoy niya.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Batang Sinasaniban ng Demonyo(G)

14 Pagbalik nila sa maraming tao, lumapit kay Jesus ang isang lalaki at lumuhod ito sa harap niya, at nagsabi, 15 “Ginoo, maawa po kayo sa anak ko! Siya po'y may epilepsya at lubhang nahihirapan. Madalas po siyang mabuwal sa apoy o kaya'y mahulog sa tubig. 16 Dinala ko po siya sa inyong mga alagad ngunit siya'y hindi nila mapagaling.”

17 Sumagot si Jesus, “Lahing napakasama at walang pananampalataya! Hanggang kailan ako dapat manatiling kasama ninyo? Hanggang kailan ko kayo pagtitiisan? Dalhin ninyo rito ang bata!” 18 Inutusan ni Jesus ang demonyo na lumabas sa bata, at ang bata'y gumaling agad.

19 Pagkatapos, nang sila-sila na lamang, lumapit ang mga alagad at tinanong si Jesus, “Bakit hindi po namin mapalayas ang demonyo?” 20 Sumagot(H) siya, “Dahil sa maliit ang inyong pananampalataya. Tandaan ninyo: kung kayo'y may pananampalataya sa Diyos na sinlaki ng buto ng mustasa, maaari ninyong sabihin sa bundok na ito, ‘Lumipat ka roon!’ at ito'y lilipat nga. Tunay na walang bagay na hindi ninyo magagawa.” [21 Ngunit ang ganitong uri ng demonyo ay hindi mapapalayas kundi sa pamamagitan ng pananalangin at pag-aayuno.][a]

Muling Binanggit ni Jesus ang Kanyang Kamatayan at Muling Pagkabuhay(I)

22 Nang magkatipon sa Galilea ang mga alagad, sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Ang Anak ng Tao ay ipagkakanulo 23 at papatayin, ngunit siya'y muling bubuhayin sa ikatlong araw.” At sila'y lubhang nalungkot.

Pagbabayad ng Buwis para sa Templo

24 Pagdating(J) nila sa Capernaum, lumapit kay Pedro ang mga maniningil ng buwis para sa templo. “Nagbabayad ba ng buwis para sa templo ang inyong guro?” tanong nila.

25 “Opo,” sagot ni Pedro. Nang pumasok siya sa bahay, tinanong siya ni Jesus, “Ano sa palagay mo, Simon? Sino ba ang nagbabayad ng buwis sa mga hari dito sa mundo, ang mga mamamayan[b] ba, o ang mga dayuhan?” 26 “Ang mga dayuhan po,” tugon ni Pedro. Sinabi ni Jesus, “Kung gayon, hindi dapat magbayad ang mga mamamayan. 27 Gayunman, para wala silang masabi sa atin, pumunta ka sa lawa at mamingwit ka. Kunin mo ang unang isdang mahuli mo, ibuka mo ang bibig niyon, at may makikita kang isang salaping pilak.[c] Kunin mo iyon at ibayad mo para sa buwis nating dalawa.”

The Transfiguration(A)(B)

17 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John(C) the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.(D) Listen to him!”(E)

When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”(F) When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone(G) what you have seen, until the Son of Man(H) has been raised from the dead.”(I)

10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.(J) 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come,(K) and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished.(L) In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer(M) at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.(N)

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy(O)

14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures(P) and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”

17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith(Q) as small as a mustard seed,(R) you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.(S) Nothing will be impossible for you.” [21] [a]

Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time

22 When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, “The Son of Man(T) is going to be delivered into the hands of men. 23 They will kill him,(U) and on the third day(V) he will be raised to life.”(W) And the disciples were filled with grief.

The Temple Tax

24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax(X) came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”

25 “Yes, he does,” he replied.

When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes(Y)—from their own children or from others?”

26 “From others,” Peter answered.

“Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not cause offense,(Z) go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
