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.”

Matthew 17
Revised Standard Version
The Transfiguration
17 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Eli′jah, talking with him. 4 And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is well that we are here; if you wish, I will make three booths here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli′jah.” 5 He was still speaking, when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son,[a] with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe. 7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.” 8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
9 And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “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 that first Eli′jah must come?” 11 He replied, “Eli′jah does come, and he is to restore all things; 12 but I tell you that Eli′jah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of man will suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
Jesus Cures a Boy with a Demon
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is 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 they could not heal him.” 17 And Jesus answered, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly. 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 say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.”[b]
Jesus Again Foretells His Death and Resurrection
22 As they were gathering[c] in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men, 23 and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.” And they were greatly distressed.
Jesus and the Temple Tax
24 When they came to Caper′na-um, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, “Does not your teacher pay the tax?” 25 He said, “Yes.” And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute? 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; take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”

La transfiguration
17 Six jours après, Jésus prit avec lui Pierre, Jacques et son frère Jean, et il les conduisit à l'écart sur une haute montagne. 2 Il fut transfiguré devant eux; son visage resplendit comme le soleil et ses vêtements devinrent blancs comme la lumière. 3 Et voici que Moïse et Elie leur apparurent; ils s'entretenaient avec lui. 4 Pierre prit la parole et dit à Jésus: «Seigneur, il est bon que nous soyons ici. Si tu le veux, faisons ici trois abris: un pour toi, un pour Moïse et un pour Elie.» 5 Comme il parlait encore, une nuée lumineuse les couvrit. De la nuée une voix fit entendre ces paroles: «Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, qui a toute mon approbation: écoutez-le!» 6 Lorsqu'ils entendirent cette voix, les disciples tombèrent le visage contre terre et furent saisis d'une grande frayeur. 7 Mais Jésus s'approcha d'eux, les toucha et dit: «Levez-vous, n'ayez pas peur!» 8 Ils levèrent les yeux et ne virent plus que Jésus seul.
9 Comme ils descendaient de la montagne, Jésus leur donna cet ordre: «Ne parlez à personne de ce que vous avez vu jusqu'à ce que le Fils de l'homme soit ressuscité.»
10 Les disciples lui posèrent cette question: «Pourquoi donc les spécialistes de la loi disent-ils qu'Elie doit venir d'abord?» 11 Jésus leur répondit: «Il est vrai qu'Elie doit venir [d'abord] et rétablir toutes choses, 12 mais je vous le dis: Elie est déjà venu, ils ne l'ont pas reconnu et ils l'ont traité comme ils ont voulu. De même le Fils de l'homme souffrira de leur part.» 13 Les disciples comprirent alors qu'il leur parlait de Jean-Baptiste.
Guérison d'un épileptique
14 Lorsqu'ils furent arrivés près de la foule, un homme vint se jeter à genoux devant Jésus et dit: 15 «Seigneur, aie pitié de mon fils qui est épileptique et qui souffre cruellement; il tombe souvent dans le feu ou dans l'eau. 16 Je l'ai amené à tes disciples et ils n'ont pas pu le guérir.» 17 «Génération incrédule et perverse, répondit Jésus, jusqu'à quand serai-je avec vous? Jusqu'à quand devrai-je vous supporter? Amenez-le-moi ici.» 18 Jésus menaça le démon, qui sortit de l’enfant, et celui-ci fut guéri à partir de ce moment-là.
19 Alors les disciples s'approchèrent de Jésus et lui dirent en privé: «Pourquoi n'avons-nous pas pu chasser ce démon?» 20 «C'est parce que vous manquez de foi, leur dit Jésus. Je vous le dis en vérité, si vous aviez de la foi comme un grain de moutarde, vous diriez à cette montagne: ‘Déplace-toi d'ici jusque-là’, et elle se déplacerait; rien ne vous serait impossible. 21 [Cependant, cette sorte de démon ne sort que par la prière et par le jeûne.]»
22 Pendant qu'ils parcouraient la Galilée, Jésus leur dit: «Le Fils de l'homme doit être livré entre les mains des hommes; 23 ils le feront mourir et le troisième jour il ressuscitera.» Ils furent profondément attristés.
24 Lorsqu'ils arrivèrent à Capernaüm, ceux qui percevaient l’impôt annuel s'approchèrent de Pierre et lui dirent: «Votre maître ne paie-t-il pas l’impôt annuel?» 25 «Si», dit-il. Quand il fut entré dans la maison, Jésus prit les devants et dit: «Qu'en penses-tu, Simon? Les rois de la terre, de qui perçoivent-ils des taxes ou des impôts? De leurs fils ou des étrangers?» 26 Il lui dit: «Des étrangers.» Jésus lui répondit: «Les fils en sont donc exemptés. 27 Cependant, pour ne pas les choquer, va au lac, jette l'hameçon et tire le premier poisson qui viendra; ouvre-lui la bouche et tu trouveras de l’argent[a]. Prends-le et donne-le-leur pour moi et pour toi.»
