Matthew 17
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.

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.”
