馬太福音 17
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
登山變象
17 六天後，耶穌帶著彼得、雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰暗暗地登上一座高山。 2 耶穌在他們面前改變了形像，面貌如太陽一樣發光，衣服潔白如光。 3 忽然，摩西和以利亞一起出現，跟耶穌談話。 4 彼得對耶穌說：「主啊，我們在這裡好極了。如果你願意，我就在這裡搭三座帳篷，一座給你，一座給摩西，一座給以利亞。」
5 他正在說話的時候，一朵燦爛的雲彩籠罩他們。雲中傳出聲音：「這是我的愛子，我甚喜悅祂，你們要聽從祂。」
6 門徒聽見這聲音，便俯伏在地，非常懼怕。 7 耶穌就過來摸他們，說：「起來吧，別害怕。」 8 他們抬起頭來，看見只剩下耶穌一個人。
9 下山時，耶穌叮囑他們：「人子還沒有從死裡復活以前，不要把剛才看見的告訴別人。」
10 門徒問耶穌：「律法教師為什麼說以利亞必須先來？」
11 耶穌回答說：「以利亞的確要來，他將復興一切。 12 但我告訴你們，以利亞已經來了，人們卻不認識他，甚至還任意對待他。人子同樣也會在他們手下受苦。」 13 門徒這才明白耶穌所說的是指施洗者約翰。
治好被鬼附身的孩子
14 他們回到山下眾人聚集的地方。有一個人過來跪在耶穌跟前，說： 15 「主啊！救救我的兒子吧！他患了癲癇症，痛苦極了，曾經幾次跌進火中，掉進水裡。 16 我帶他去見你的門徒，但他們卻不能治好他。」
17 耶穌說：「唉！這世代又不信又敗壞的人啊，我要跟你們在一起待多久？我要容忍你們多久呢？把他帶來吧。」 18 耶穌斥責附在孩子身上的鬼，鬼就離開了那孩子，從此他就好了。
19 事後，門徒私下問耶穌：「我們為什麼趕不走那鬼呢？」
20 耶穌說：「你們的信心太小了。我實在告訴你們，你們若有像芥菜種那樣大的信心，就算叫這座山從這裡移到那裡，它也會移開，你們將沒有辦不到的事。 21 至於這一類的鬼，你們必須禱告和禁食才能把牠趕走。」
耶穌第二次預言受害和復活
22 他們聚集在加利利的時候，耶穌對他們說：「人子將要被出賣，交在人手裡。 23 他們將殺害祂，第三天祂將復活。」門徒聽了，十分憂愁。
從魚口得稅錢
24 他們來到迦百農，有幾個收聖殿稅的來問彼得：「你們的老師不納聖殿稅嗎？」
25 彼得說「納！」他進了屋，還沒開口，耶穌便問他：「西門，你有何看法？世上的君王向誰徵收賦稅？向自己的兒子呢，還是向外人呢？」
26 彼得答道：「向外人。」
耶穌說：「所以兒子不用納稅。 27 但為了避免得罪這些人，你就去湖邊釣魚，把釣上來的第一條魚的嘴打開，裡面有一個錢幣，拿它去繳你我的稅好了。」
Matthew 17
New King James Version
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.”

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Pagbabagong-anyo ni Jesus(A)
17 Pagkaraan ng anim na araw, isinama ni Jesus sina Pedro at ang magkapatid na Santiago at Juan sa isang mataas na bundok ng sila-sila lang. 2 At habang nakatingin sila kay Jesus, nagbago ang kanyang anyo. Nagliwanag na parang araw ang kanyang mukha, at ang damit niyaʼy naging puting-puti na parang liwanag. 3 Bigla nilang nakita sina Moises at Elias na nakikipag-usap kay Jesus. 4 Sinabi ni Pedro kay Jesus, “Panginoon, mabutiʼt narito kami.[a] Kung gusto nʼyo po, gagawa ako ng tatlong kubol: isa para sa inyo, isa para kay Moises at isa para kay Elias.” 5 Habang nagsasalita pa si Pedro, nabalot sila ng nakakasilaw na ulap. At may tinig silang narinig mula sa mga ulap na nagsasabing, “Ito ang minamahal kong Anak na lubos kong kinalulugdan. Pakinggan ninyo siya!” 6 Nang marinig iyon ng mga tagasunod, nagpatirapa sila sa takot. 7 Pero nilapitan sila ni Jesus at tinapik. Sinabi niya, “Tumayo kayo. Huwag kayong matakot.” 8 Pagtingin nila, wala na silang ibang nakita kundi si Jesus na lang.
9 Nang pababa na sila sa bundok, sinabihan sila ni Jesus, “Huwag ninyong sasabihin kahit kanino ang inyong nakita hanggaʼt ang Anak ng Tao ay hindi pa muling nabubuhay.” 10 Tinanong siya ng kanyang mga tagasunod, “Bakit sinasabi ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na kailangan daw munang dumating si Elias bago dumating ang Cristo?” 11 Sumagot si Jesus, “Totoo iyan, kailangan ngang dumating muna si Elias upang ihanda ang lahat ng bagay. 12 Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo: dumating na si Elias. Kaya lang hindi siya nakilala ng mga tao at ginawa nila ang gusto nilang gawin sa kanya. Ganyan din ang gagawin nila sa akin na Anak ng Tao. Pahihirapan din nila ako.” 13 At naunawaan ng mga tagasunod niya na ang tinutukoy niyaʼy si Juan na tagapagbautismo.
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Batang Sinasaniban ng Masamang Espiritu(B)
14 Pagbalik nina Jesus sa kinaroroonan ng maraming tao, lumapit sa kanya ang isang lalaki, lumuhod ito sa kanyang harapan at sinabi, 15 “Panginoon, maawa po kayo sa anak kong lalaki. May epilepsya siya at grabe ang paghihirap niya kapag sinusumpong. Madalas siyang matumba sa apoy at madalas din siyang mahulog sa tubig. 16 Dinala ko siya sa mga tagasunod nʼyo, pero hindi po nila mapagaling.” 17 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kayong henerasyon ng mga walang pananampalataya at baluktot ang pag-iisip! Hanggang kailan ba ako magtitiis sa inyo? Dalhin nʼyo rito ang bata!” 18 Sinaway ni Jesus ang masamang espiritu at lumabas ito sa bata. At gumaling ang bata noon din.
19 Nang sila-sila na lang, lumapit kay Jesus ang mga tagasunod niya at nagtanong, “Bakit hindi po namin mapalayas ang masamang espiritu?” 20 Sumagot si Jesus, “Dahil mahina ang pananampalataya ninyo. Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, kung may pananampalataya kayo na kahit kasinlaki lang ng buto ng mustasa, masasabi ninyo sa bundok na ito, ‘Lumipat ka roon!’ at lilipat nga ito. Walang bagay na hindi ninyo magagawa.” 21 [Ngunit ang ganoong uri ng masamang espiritu ay mapapalayas lang sa pamamagitan ng panalangin at pag-aayuno.]
Ang Ikalawang Pagpapahayag ni Jesus tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan(C)
22 Habang nagtitipon sina Jesus at ang mga tagasunod niya sa Galilea, sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang Anak ng Tao ay ipagkakanulo sa kamay ng mga tao. 23 Papatayin nila ako, pero mabubuhay akong muli pagkaraan ng tatlong araw.” Labis itong ikinalungkot ng mga tagasunod ni Jesus.
Pagbabayad ng Buwis para sa Templo
24 Pagdating nila sa Capernaum, lumapit kay Pedro ang mga maniningil ng buwis at nagtanong, “Nagbabayad ba ng buwis ang guro ninyo para sa templo?” 25 Sumagot si Pedro, “Oo, nagbabayad siya.”
Nang makabalik si Pedro sa tinutuluyan nila, tinanong siya ni Jesus, “Ano sa palagay mo, Pedro? Kanino nangongolekta ng mga buwis ang mga hari, sa mga anak nila o sa ibang tao?” 26 Sumagot si Pedro, “Sa ibang tao po.” Sinabi ni Jesus, “Kung ganoon, nangangahulugan na hindi kailangang magbayad ng buwis ang mga anak.[b] 27 Pero kung hindi tayo magbabayad, baka sumama ang loob nila sa atin.[c] Kaya pumunta ka sa lawa at mamingwit. Ibuka mo ang bibig ng unang isdang mahuhuli mo at makikita mo roon ang perang sapat na pambayad sa buwis nating dalawa. Kunin mo ito at ibayad sa mga nangongolekta ng buwis para sa templo.”
