Mattheüs 17
Het Boek
Jezus, Gods geliefde Zoon
17 Zes dagen later nam Hij Petrus, Jakobus en Johannes mee en ging met hen een hoge berg op. Daar waren zij alleen. 2 Zijn uiterlijk veranderde voor hun ogen. Zijn gezicht straalde als de zon en zijn kleren werden verblindend wit. 3 Ineens zagen zij Mozes en Elia met Hem staan praten. 4 Petrus zei tegen Jezus: ‘Here, het is maar goed dat wij hier zijn! Zal ik drie tenten maken? Eén voor U, één voor Mozes en één voor Elia?’ 5 Maar voordat hij was uitgesproken, kwam er een lichtende wolk boven hen. Een stem uit die wolk zei: ‘Dit is mijn geliefde Zoon. Hij verheugt mijn hart. Luister naar Hem.’ 6 Bij het horen hiervan werden de leerlingen zo bang dat zij zich plat op de grond lieten vallen. 7 Jezus kwam naar hen toe en raakte hen aan. ‘Sta op,’ zei Hij. ‘Jullie hoeven niet bang te zijn.’ 8 Toen zij opkeken, zagen ze alleen Jezus nog. 9 Bij het afdalen van de berg zei Jezus dat zij niemand iets mochten vertellen van wat zij hadden gezien totdat Hij, de Mensenzoon, zou zijn opgewekt uit de dood.
10 De leerlingen vroegen: ‘Waarom zeggen de bijbelgeleerden altijd dat de Christus pas kan komen nadat Elia is geweest?’ 11 Hij antwoordde: ‘Elia komt inderdaad om voorbereidend werk te doen. 12 Hij is al gekomen, maar de mensen hebben hem niet herkend en met hem gedaan wat ze wilden. En het duurt niet lang meer of zij zullen ook Mij, de Mensenzoon, veel leed aandoen.’ 13 De leerlingen maakten hieruit op dat Hij het over Johannes de Doper had.
14 Uit de mensen die aan de voet van de berg stonden te wachten, kwam een man naar Jezus toe. 15 ‘Here,’ zei hij smekend en viel voor Hem op de knieën. ‘Heb medelijden met mijn zoon. Hij lijdt aan vallende ziekte. Het is heel erg met hem. Hij valt vaak in het vuur en in het water. 16 Daarom heb ik hem bij uw leerlingen gebracht, maar zij konden hem niet genezen.’ 17 ‘Och,’ zuchtte Jezus. ‘Wat zijn jullie toch ongelovig en verdorven! Hoelang moet Ik nog bij u blijven? Hoelang moet Ik nog geduld met u hebben? Breng die jongen maar hier.’ 18 Hij bestrafte de boze geest in de jongen en die ging er meteen uit. Vanaf dat moment was de jongen genezen. 19 Achteraf, toen ze alleen met Hem waren, vroegen de leerlingen Hem: ‘Waarom konden wij die boze geest niet uit die jongen wegjagen?’ 20 ‘Omdat jullie zo weinig geloof hebben,’ antwoordde Jezus. ‘Als jullie geloof zoveel kracht heeft als een mosterdzaadje, dan kun je tegen deze berg zeggen: “Ga weg” en dan gaat hij weg. Dan is niets onmogelijk voor je. 21 Dit soort boze geesten wordt alleen verdreven wanneer jullie ervoor bidden en vasten.’
22 In de tijd dat zij door Galilea trokken, zei Jezus: ‘Het is bijna zover dat Ik, de Mensenzoon, in de handen van de mensen zal vallen. 23 Ze zullen Mij doden, maar op de derde dag zal Ik weer levend worden.’ Deze woorden maakten de leerlingen erg verdrietig.
Een vraag over tempelbelasting
24 In Kafarnaüm kwamen de ontvangers van de tempelbelasting naar Petrus toe en vroegen: ‘Betaalt uw meester wel belasting?’ 25 ‘Natuurlijk,’ antwoordde Petrus. Maar toen Petrus thuiskwam, was Jezus hem voor met de vraag: ‘Petrus, van wie eisen de heersers op aarde tol of belasting? Van hun eigen burgers of van volken die ze hebben onderworpen?’ 26 ‘Van volken die zij hebben onderworpen,’ antwoordde Petrus. 27 ‘De burgers zijn dus vrijgesteld,’ zei Jezus. ‘Maar wij zullen die belastingontvangers niet kwaad maken. Ga naar het meer en gooi een lijn uit. In de bek van de eerste vis die je vangt, zul je een geldstuk vinden. Dat is genoeg om de tempelbelasting te betalen, voor jou en voor Mij.’

The Transfiguration
17 (A)And after six days Jesus took with him (B)Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 And he was (C)transfigured before them, and (D)his face shone like the sun, and (E)his clothes became white as light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4 And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for (F)Elijah.” 5 He was still speaking when, behold, (G)a bright cloud overshadowed them, and (H)a voice from the cloud said, (I)“This is my beloved Son,[a] with whom I am well pleased; (J)listen to him.” 6 When (K)the disciples heard this, (L)they fell on their faces and were terrified. 7 But Jesus came and (M)touched them, saying, “Rise, and (N)have no fear.” 8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
9 (O)And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, (P)“Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” 10 And the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say (Q)that first Elijah must come?” 11 He answered, “Elijah does come, and (R)he will restore all things. 12 But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but (S)did to him whatever they pleased. (T)So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.” 13 (U)Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
Jesus Heals a Boy with a Demon
14 (V)And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and, kneeling before him, 15 said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is (W)an epileptic and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, and (X)they could not heal him.” 17 And Jesus answered, “O faithless and (Y)twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? (Z)How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.” 18 And Jesus (AA)rebuked the demon,[b] and it[c] came out of him, and (AB)the boy was healed instantly.[d] 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 He said to them, (AC)“Because of your little faith. For (AD)truly, I say to you, (AE)if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, (AF)you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move, and (AG)nothing will be impossible for you.”[e]
Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection
22 (AH)As they were gathering[f] in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men, 23 and they will kill him, and he will be raised on (AI)the third day.” And they were greatly distressed.
The Temple Tax
24 (AJ)When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of (AK)the two-drachma tax went up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the tax?” 25 He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, (AL)“What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or (AM)tax? From their sons or from others?” 26 And when he said, “From others”, Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. 27 However, not to give offence to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel.[g] Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”

The Transfiguration
17 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves.(A) 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became bright as light. 3 Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I[a] will set up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, the Beloved;[b] with him I am well pleased; listen to him!”(B) 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. 7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.”(C) 8 And when they raised their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”(D) 10 And the disciples asked him, “Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”(E) 11 He replied, “Elijah is indeed coming and will restore all things,(F) 12 but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but they did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands.”(G) 13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
Jesus Cures a Boy with a Demon
14 When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him, 15 and said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he has epilepsy and suffers terribly; he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.” 17 Jesus answered, “You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon,[c] and it[d] came out of him, and the boy was cured from that moment. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a[e] mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”[f](H)
Jesus Again Foretells His Death and Resurrection
22 As they were gathering[g] in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands,(I) 23 and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised.” And they were greatly distressed.
Jesus and the Temple Tax
24 When they reached Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax came to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the temple tax?”(J) 25 He said, “Yes, he does.” And when he came home, Jesus spoke of it first, asking, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute? From their children or from others?”(K) 26 When Peter[h] said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, “Then the children are free. 27 However, so that we do not give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook; take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a coin; take that and give it to them for you and me.”(L)
Matthew 17
New International Version
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.”
