Matthew 17
English Standard Version
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 has (W)seizures 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 offense 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.”

Matye 17
Haitian Creole Version
17 ¶ Sis jou apre sa, Jezi pran Pyè, Jak ak Jan, frè Jak la, li mennen yo pou kont yo sou tèt yon mòn byen wo.
2 Antan Jezi te la, li pran chanje devan yo. Figi l' vin klere tankou solèy la. Rad li vin blan tankou yon limyè.
3 Twa disip yo wè Moyiz ak Eli parèt, yo t'ap pale ak Jezi.
4 Lè sa a, Pyè pran lapawòl, li di Jezi konsa: Met, sa bon nèt pou nou isit la. Si ou vle, m'ap moute twa ti kay, yonn pou ou, yonn pou Moyiz ak yonn pou Eli.
5 Antan Pyè t'ap pale toujou, yon nwaj byen klere vin kouvri yo. Yo tande yon vwa soti nan nwaj la, li di: Sa se pitit mwen renmen anpil la. Li fè kè m' kontan anpil. Koute li.
6 Lè disip yo tande vwa a yo tonbe fas atè tèlman yo te pè.
7 Men, Jezi pwoche bò kote yo, li manyen yo, li di: Leve non, nou pa bezwen pè.
8 Yo leve je yo, yo wè Jezi te pou kont li.
9 Antan yo t'ap desann mòn lan, Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: Pa pale ak pesonn sou sa nou sot wè a, jouk mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
10 Twa disip yo poze l' keksyon sa a: Poukisa dirèktè lalwa yo di se pou Eli vin anvan?
11 Jezi reponn yo: Se vre. Eli gen pou l' vin anvan, pou l' mete tout bagay nan lòd.
12 Men, m'ap di nou sa: Eli vin deja. Men, yo pa t' rekonèt li, yo fè l' tou sa yo te vle. Se onsa tou, yo gen pou yo maltrete Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.
13 Lè sa a, disip yo vin konprann li t'ap pale yo sou Jan Batis.
14 ¶ Lè yo rive kote foul moun yo, yon nonm pwoche bò kot Jezi, li lage kò l' ajenou devan l', li di:
15 Mèt, gen pitye pou pitit gason m' lan. Li gen malkadi. Lè ou tande kriz la pran l' konsa, anpil fwa li tonbe nan dife osinon nan dlo.
16 Mwen mennen l' bay disip ou yo, men yo pa t' kapab geri li.
17 Jezi reponn: Ala moun san konfyans nan Bondye! Ala move moun! Jouk kilè pou m' rete nan mitan nou? Jouk kilè pou m' sipòte nou? Mennen ti gason an isit ban mwen.
18 Jezi pale sevè ak move lespri a. Lespri a soti. Menm lè a, ti nonm lan geri.
19 Apre sa, disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo mande l' apa: Poukisa nou pa t' kapab chase move lespri sa a?
20 Jezi di yo: Se paske nou manke konfyans nan Bondye. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si nou te gen konfyans nan Bondye gwosè yon ti grenn moutad, nou ta di ti mòn sa a: wete kò ou la, al laba, li ta chanje plas. Pa gen anyen nou pa ta kapab fè.
21 Men, kalite lespri sa yo, se fòs lapriyè ak jèn ki pou fè yo soti.
22 ¶ Yon jou, antan tout disip yo te la ansanm nan peyi Galile, Jezi di yo: Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pou m' tonbe anba men lèzòm.
23 Yo pral touye m', men sou twa jou, m'ap leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Sa te fè disip yo lapenn anpil.
24 ¶ Lè Jezi rive Kapènawòm ak disip li yo, moun ki t'ap ranmase lajan taks pou tanp lan pwoche bò kot Pyè, yo mande li: Eske mèt ou a peye lajan taks pou tanp lan?
25 Pyè di: Li peye wi. Antan Pyè ap antre nan kay la, anvan li louvri bouch li, Jezi di l': Sa ou konprann nan sa, Simon? Ki moun ki gen pou peye dwa ak taks bay leta? Sitwayen peyi a, osinon etranje?
26 Pyè reponn li: Etranje yo. Lè sa a, Jezi di li: Si se konsa, sitwayen yo egzan.
27 Men, nou pa vle bay move egzanp: Ale bò lanmè a, voye yon zen nan dlo a. Rale premye pwason ki va mòde ladan l' lan. Louvri bouch li, wa jwenn yon pyès lajan, mezi pou peye taks pa m' ak taks pa ou. Pran l', al peye pou nou de.
Matthew 17
King James Version
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.
