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.”

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; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 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.”

(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!” (G)And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. But Jesus came and (H)touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

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.”
