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.”

Mateo 17
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.”
