La transfiguración de Jesús(A)
17 Seis días después, Jesús tomó a Pedro, a Santiago y a Juan, el hermano de Santiago, y se fue aparte con ellos a un cerro muy alto. 2 Allí, delante de ellos, cambió la apariencia de Jesús. Su cara brillaba como el sol, y su ropa se volvió blanca como la luz. 3 En esto vieron a Moisés y a Elías conversando con Jesús. 4 Pedro le dijo a Jesús:
—Señor, ¡qué bien que estemos aquí! Si quieres, haré tres chozas: una para ti, otra para Moisés y otra para Elías.
5 Mientras Pedro estaba hablando, una nube luminosa se posó sobre ellos, y de la nube salió una voz, que dijo: «Éste es mi Hijo amado, a quien he elegido: escúchenlo.»
6 Al oír esto, los discípulos se postraron con la cara en tierra, llenos de miedo. 7 Jesús se acercó a ellos, los tocó y les dijo:
—Levántense; no tengan miedo.
8 Y cuando miraron, ya no vieron a nadie, sino a Jesús solo.
9 Mientras bajaban del cerro, Jesús les ordenó:
—No cuenten a nadie esta visión, hasta que el Hijo del hombre haya resucitado.
10 Los discípulos preguntaron entonces a Jesús:
—¿Por qué dicen los maestros de la ley que Elías ha de venir primero?
11 Y Jesús contestó:
—Es cierto que Elías viene primero, y que él lo arreglará todo. 12 Pero yo les digo que Elías ya vino, y que ellos no lo reconocieron, sino que hicieron con él todo lo que quisieron. Del mismo modo, el Hijo del hombre va a sufrir a manos de ellos.
13 Entonces los discípulos se dieron cuenta de que Jesús les estaba hablando de Juan el Bautista.
Jesús sana a un muchacho que tenía un demonio(B)
14 Cuando llegaron a donde estaba la gente, se acercó un hombre a Jesús, y arrodillándose delante de él le dijo:
15 —Señor, ten compasión de mi hijo, porque le dan ataques y sufre terriblemente; muchas veces cae en el fuego o en el agua. 16 Aquí se lo traje a tus discípulos, pero no han podido sanarlo.
17 Jesús contestó:
—¡Oh gente sin fe y perversa! ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que estar con ustedes? ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que soportarlos? Traigan acá al muchacho.
18 Entonces Jesús reprendió al demonio y lo hizo salir del muchacho, que quedó sano desde aquel momento.
19 Después los discípulos hablaron aparte con Jesús, y le preguntaron:
—¿Por qué no pudimos nosotros expulsar el demonio?
20 Jesús les dijo:
—Porque ustedes tienen muy poca fe. Les aseguro que si tuvieran fe, aunque sólo fuera del tamaño de una semilla de mostaza, le dirían a este cerro: “Quítate de aquí y vete a otro lugar”, y el cerro se quitaría. Nada les sería imposible.
Jesús anuncia por segunda vez su muerte(C)
22 Mientras andaban juntos por la región de Galilea, Jesús les dijo:
—El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres, 23 y lo matarán; pero al tercer día resucitará.
Esta noticia los llenó de tristeza.
El pago del impuesto para el templo
24 Cuando Jesús y sus discípulos llegaron a Cafarnaúm, los que cobraban el impuesto para el templo fueron a ver a Pedro, y le preguntaron:
—¿Tu maestro no paga el impuesto para el templo?
25 —Sí, lo paga —contestó Pedro.
Luego, al entrar Pedro en la casa, Jesús le habló primero, diciendo:
—¿Tú qué opinas, Simón? ¿A quiénes cobran impuestos y contribuciones los reyes de este mundo: a sus propios súbditos o a los extranjeros?
26 Pedro le contestó:
—A los extranjeros.
Jesús añadió:
—Así pues, los propios súbditos no tienen que pagar nada. 27 Pero, para no servir de tropiezo a nadie, vete al lago, echa el anzuelo y saca el primer pez que pique. En su boca encontrarás una moneda, que será suficiente para pagar mi impuesto y el tuyo; llévala y págalos.

La transfiguración(A)(B)
17 Seis días después, Jesús tomó consigo a Pedro, a Santiago y a Juan, el hermano de Santiago, y los llevó aparte, a una montaña alta. 2 Allí se transfiguró en presencia de ellos; su rostro resplandeció como el sol y su ropa se volvió blanca como la luz. 3 En esto, se aparecieron Moisés y Elías conversando con Jesús. 4 Pedro dijo a Jesús:
—Señor, ¡qué bien que estemos aquí! Si quieres, levantaré tres albergues: uno para ti, otro para Moisés y otro para Elías.
5 Mientras estaba aún hablando, apareció una nube luminosa que los envolvió y de la cual salió una voz que dijo: «Este es mi Hijo amado; estoy muy complacido con él. ¡Escúchenlo!».
6 Al oír esto, los discípulos se postraron sobre su rostro, aterrorizados. 7 Pero Jesús se acercó a ellos y los tocó.
—Levántense —dijo—. No tengan miedo.
8 Cuando alzaron la vista, no vieron a nadie más que a Jesús.
9 Mientras bajaban de la montaña, Jesús les encargó:
—No cuenten a nadie lo que han visto hasta que el Hijo del hombre se levante de entre los muertos.
10 Entonces los discípulos preguntaron a Jesús:
—¿Por qué dicen los maestros de la Ley que Elías tiene que venir primero?
11 —Sin duda Elías vendrá y restaurará todas las cosas —respondió Jesús—. 12 Pero les digo que Elías ya vino y no lo reconocieron, sino que hicieron con él todo lo que quisieron. De la misma manera, va a sufrir el Hijo del hombre a manos de ellos.
13 Entonces entendieron los discípulos que les estaba hablando de Juan el Bautista.
Jesús sana a un muchacho endemoniado(C)
14 Cuando llegaron a la multitud, un hombre se acercó a Jesús y se arrodilló delante de él. 15 Y dijo:
—Señor, ten compasión de mi hijo. Le dan ataques y sufre terriblemente. Muchas veces cae en el fuego o en el agua. 16 Se lo traje a tus discípulos, pero no pudieron sanarlo.
17 —¡Ah, generación incrédula y malvada! —respondió Jesús—. ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que estar con ustedes? ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que soportarlos? Tráiganme acá al muchacho.
18 Jesús reprendió al demonio, el cual salió del muchacho, y este quedó sano desde aquel momento.
19 Después los discípulos se acercaron a Jesús y, en privado, preguntaron:
—¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos expulsarlo?
20 —Por la poca fe que tienen —respondió—. Les aseguro que si tuvieran fe tan pequeña como una semilla de mostaza, podrían decirle a esta montaña: “Trasládate de aquí para allá” y se trasladaría. Para ustedes nada sería imposible. 21 [a]
22 Estando reunidos en Galilea, Jesús les dijo: «El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres. 23 Lo matarán, pero al tercer día resucitará». Y los discípulos se entristecieron mucho.
El impuesto del Templo
24 Cuando Jesús y sus discípulos llegaron a Capernaúm, los que cobraban el impuesto del Templo[b] se acercaron a Pedro y preguntaron:
—¿Su maestro no paga el impuesto del Templo?
25 —Sí, lo paga —respondió Pedro.
Al entrar Pedro en la casa, se adelantó Jesús a preguntarle:
—¿Tú qué opinas, Simón? Los reyes de la tierra, ¿a quiénes cobran tributos e impuestos: a los suyos o a los demás?
26 —A los demás —contestó Pedro.
—Entonces los suyos están exentos —dijo Jesús—. 27 Pero para no escandalizar a esta gente, vete al lago y echa el anzuelo. Saca el primer pez que pique; ábrele la boca y encontrarás una moneda.[c] Tómala y dásela a ellos por mi impuesto y por el tuyo.

The Transfiguration
17 And after six days Jesus took along Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothing became bright as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. 4 So Peter answered and[a] said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 5 While[b] he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!” 6 And when[c] the disciples heard this,[d] they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened. 7 And Jesus came and touched them and[e] said, “Get up and do not be afraid.” 8 And when they[f] lifted up their eyes they saw no one except him—Jesus alone.
9 And as[g] they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” 10 And the disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 11 And he answered and[h] said, “Elijah indeed is coming, and will restore all things. 12 But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the same way also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
A Demon-possessed Boy Healed
14 And when they[i] came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him 15 and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely, for often he falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.” 17 And Jesus answered and[j] said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation! How long[k] will I be with you? How long[l] must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!” 18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him and the boy was healed from that hour.
19 Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and[m] said, Why[n] were we not able to expel it?” 20 And he said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like 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.”[o]
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection a Second Time
22 Now as[p] they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men,[q] 23 and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised.” And they were extremely distressed.
Paying the Double Drachma Temple Tax
24 Now when[r] they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma tax[s] came up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the double drachma tax?” 25 He said, “Yes.” And when he[t] came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes—from their own sons, or from foreigners?” 26 And when he[u] said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. 27 But so that we do not give offense to them, go out to the sea, cast a line with[v] a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. And when you[w] open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that and[x] give it[y] to them for me and you.”

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.

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. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
4 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.”
5 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)
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”(F) 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9 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.”
