Mateo 17
La Biblia de las Américas
La transfiguración
17 (A)Seis días después, Jesús tomó* consigo a Pedro(B), a Jacobo[a] y a Juan su hermano, y los llevó* aparte a un monte alto; 2 y se transfiguró delante de ellos; y su rostro resplandeció como el sol, y sus vestiduras se volvieron blancas como la luz. 3 Y he aquí, se les aparecieron Moisés y Elías hablando con Él. 4 Entonces Pedro, tomando la palabra, dijo a Jesús: Señor, bueno es estarnos aquí; si quieres, haré aquí tres enramadas[b], una para ti, otra[c] para Moisés y otra[d] para Elías(C). 5 Mientras estaba aún hablando, he aquí, una nube luminosa los cubrió; y[e] una voz salió de la nube(D), diciendo: Este es mi Hijo amado(E) en quien me he complacido; a Él oíd. 6 Cuando los discípulos oyeron esto, cayeron sobre sus rostros y tuvieron gran temor. 7 Entonces se les acercó Jesús, y tocándolos, dijo: Levantaos y no temáis(F). 8 Y cuando alzaron sus ojos no vieron a nadie, sino a Jesús solo.
Elías y Juan el Bautista
9 (G)Mientras descendían del monte, Jesús les ordenó, diciendo: No contéis a nadie la visión(H) hasta que el Hijo del Hombre(I) haya resucitado de entre los muertos(J). 10 Y sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Por qué, pues, dicen los escribas que Elías(K) debe venir primero? 11 Y respondiendo Él, dijo: Elías ciertamente viene, y restaurará todas las cosas; 12 pero yo os digo que Elías ya vino y no lo reconocieron, sino que le hicieron[f] todo lo que quisieron. Así también el Hijo del Hombre(L) va a padecer a manos de ellos. 13 Entonces los discípulos entendieron que les había hablado de Juan el Bautista.
Jesús sana a un muchacho epiléptico
14 (M)Cuando llegaron a la multitud, se le acercó un hombre, que arrodillándose delante de Él, dijo: 15 Señor, ten misericordia de mi hijo, porque es epiléptico[g](N) y sufre terriblemente, porque muchas veces cae en el fuego y muchas en el agua. 16 Y lo traje a tus discípulos y ellos no pudieron curarlo. 17 Respondiendo Jesús, dijo: ¡Oh generación incrédula y perversa! ¿Hasta cuándo estaré con vosotros? ¿Hasta cuándo os tendré que soportar? Traédmelo acá. 18 Y Jesús lo reprendió y el demonio salió de él, y el muchacho quedó curado desde aquel momento[h].
19 Entonces los discípulos, llegándose a Jesús en privado, dijeron: ¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos expulsarlo? 20 Y Él les dijo*: Por vuestra poca fe; porque en verdad os digo que si tenéis fe(O) como un grano de mostaza(P), diréis a este monte(Q): «Pásate de aquí allá», y se pasará; y nada os será imposible(R). 21 [i]Pero esta clase no sale sino con oración y ayuno(S).
Jesús anuncia otra vez su muerte
22 (T)Mientras andaban juntos por Galilea, Jesús les dijo: El Hijo del Hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres. 23 Y le matarán, y al tercer día resucitará(U). Y ellos se entristecieron mucho.
Pago del impuesto del templo
24 Cuando llegaron a Capernaúm, se acercaron a Pedro los que cobraban el impuesto de dos dracmas[j](V) y dijeron: ¿No paga vuestro maestro las dos dracmas(W)? 25 Él dijo*: Sí. Y cuando él llegó a casa, Jesús se le anticipó[k], diciendo: ¿Qué te parece, Simón? ¿De quiénes cobran tributos(X) o impuestos(Y) los reyes de la tierra, de sus hijos o de los extraños? 26 Y cuando respondió: De los extraños, Jesús le dijo: Entonces los hijos están exentos[l]. 27 Sin embargo, para que no los escandalicemos[m](Z), ve al mar, echa el anzuelo, y toma el primer pez que salga[n]; y cuando le abras la boca hallarás un estáter[o]; tómalo y dáselo por ti y por mí.

American Standard Version
17 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and [a]James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: 2 and he was transfigured before them; and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light. 3 And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. 4 And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will make here three [b]tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 5 While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, 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 lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.
9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead. 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come? 11 And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things: 12 but I say unto you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them. 13 Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying, 15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water. 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me. 18 And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out? 20 And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: 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.[c]
22 And while they [d]abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be [e]delivered up into the hands of men; 23 and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the [f]half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the [g]half-shekel? 25 He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers? 26 And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free. 27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a [h]shekel: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

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.”
