The True Glory of Jesus
(Mark 9.2-13; Luke 9.28-36)
17 (A) Six days later Jesus took Peter and the brothers James and John with him. They went up on a very high mountain where they could be alone. 2 There in front of the disciples, Jesus was completely changed. His face was shining like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
3 All at once Moses and Elijah were there talking with Jesus. 4 So Peter said to him, “Lord, it is good for us to be here! Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 (B) While Peter was still speaking, the shadow of a bright cloud passed over them. From the cloud a voice said, “This is my own dear Son, and I am pleased with him. Listen to what he says!” 6 When the disciples heard the voice, they were so afraid they fell flat on the ground. 7 But Jesus came over and touched them. He said, “Get up and don't be afraid!” 8 When they opened their eyes, they saw only Jesus.
9 On their way down from the mountain, Jesus warned his disciples not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of Man had been raised from death.
10 (C) The disciples asked Jesus, “Don't the teachers of the Law of Moses say Elijah must come before the Messiah does?”
11 (D) Jesus told them, “Elijah certainly will come and get everything ready. 12 (E) In fact, he has already come. But the people did not recognize him and treated him just as they wanted to. They will soon make the Son of Man suffer in the same way.” 13 Then the disciples understood Jesus was talking to them about John the Baptist.
Jesus Heals a Boy
(Mark 9.14-29; Luke 9.37-43a)
14 Jesus and his disciples returned to the crowd. A man knelt in front of him 15 and said, “Lord, have pity on my son! He has a bad case of epilepsy and often falls into a fire or into water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but none of them could heal him.”
17 Jesus said, “You people are too stubborn to have any faith! How much longer must I be with you? Why do I have to put up with you? Bring the boy here.” 18 Then Jesus spoke sternly to the demon. It went out of the boy, and right then he was healed.
19 Later the disciples went to Jesus in private and asked him, “Why couldn't we force out the demon?”
20-21 (F) Jesus replied:
It is because you don't have enough faith! But I can promise you this. If you had faith no larger than a mustard seed, you could tell this mountain to move from here to there. And it would. Everything would be possible for you.[a]
Jesus Again Speaks about His Death
(Mark 9.30-32; Luke 9.43b-45)
22 While Jesus and his disciples were going from place to place in Galilee, he told them, “The Son of Man will be handed over to people 23 who will kill him. But three days later he will rise to life.” All of this made the disciples very sad.
Paying the Temple Tax
24 (G) When Jesus and the others arrived in Capernaum, the collectors for the temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your teacher pay the temple tax?”
25 “Yes, he does,” Peter answered.
After they had returned home, Jesus went up to Peter and asked him, “Simon, what do you think? Do the kings of this earth collect taxes and fees from their own people or from foreigners?”[b]
26 Peter answered, “From foreigners.”
Jesus replied, “Then their own people[c] don't have to pay. 27 But we don't want to cause trouble. So go cast a line into the lake and pull out the first fish you hook. Open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Use it to pay your taxes and mine.”

La transfiguración(A)(B)
17 Seis días después, Jesús tomó consigo a Pedro, a Jacobo y a Juan, el hermano de Jacobo, 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 les aparecieron Moisés y Elías conversando con Jesús. 4 Pedro dijo a Jesús:
―Señor, ¡qué bueno sería que nos quedáramos aquí! Si quieres, levantaré tres tiendas: una para ti, otra para Moisés y otra para Elías.
5 Mientras estaba aún hablando, apareció una nube luminosa que los envolvió, de la cual salió una voz que dijo: «Este es mi Hijo amado; estoy muy complacido con él. ¡Escuchadle!»
6 Al oír esto, los discípulos se postraron sobre su rostro, aterrorizados. 7 Pero Jesús se acercó a ellos y los tocó.
―Levantaos —les dijo—. No tengáis miedo.
8 Cuando alzaron la vista, no vieron a nadie más que a Jesús.
9 Mientras bajaban de la montaña, Jesús les encargó:
―No le contéis a nadie lo que habéis visto hasta que el Hijo del hombre resucite.
10 Entonces los discípulos le preguntaron a Jesús:
―¿Por qué dicen los maestros de la ley que Elías tiene que venir primero?
11 ―Sin duda Elías viene, y restaurará todas las cosas —respondió Jesús—. 12 Pero os 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 ―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 perversa! —respondió Jesús—. ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que estar con vosotros? ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que soportaros? Traedme acá al muchacho.
18 Jesús reprendió al demonio, el cual salió del muchacho, y este quedó sano desde aquel momento.
19 Entonces los discípulos se acercaron a Jesús y, en privado, le preguntaron:
―¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos expulsarlo?
20 ―Por vuestra poca fe —les respondió—. Os aseguro que, si tuvierais fe tan pequeña como un grano de mostaza, podríais decirle a esta montaña: “Trasládate de aquí para allá”, y se trasladaría. Para vosotros nada resultaría imposible.[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 Capernaún, los que cobraban el impuesto del templo[b] se acercaron a Pedro y le preguntaron:
―¿Tu 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 —le 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(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.”
