Jesus Transfigured on the Mount(A)
17 Now (B)after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, [a]let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 (C)While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, (D)“This is My beloved Son, (E)in whom I am well pleased. (F)Hear Him!” 6 (G)And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. 7 But Jesus came and (H)touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” 8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
9 Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”
10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, (I)“Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming [b]first and will (J)restore all things. 12 (K)But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they (L)did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise (M)the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.” 13 (N)Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.
A Boy Is Healed(O)
14 (P)And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is [c]an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O [d]faithless and (Q)perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus (R)rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”
20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your [e]unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, (S)if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 [f]However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Jesus Again Predicts His Death and Resurrection(T)
22 (U)Now while they were [g]staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, 23 and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up.” And they were exceedingly (V)sorrowful.
Peter and His Master Pay Their Taxes
24 (W)When they had come to [h]Capernaum, those who received the [i]temple tax came to Peter and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?”
25 He said, “Yes.”
And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from (X)strangers?”
26 Peter said to Him, “From strangers.”
Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. 27 Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a [j]piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.”

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.”

Yesu Abadilika Sura Mlimani
17 Baada ya siku sita, Yesu akawachukua Petro, Yakobo na Yohana ndugu yake Yakobo, wakaenda peke yao juu ya mlima mrefu. 2 Na wakiwa huko, Yesu akabadilika sura mbele yao, uso wake ukang’aa kama jua na nguo zake zikawa nyeupe kama mwanga. 3 Na mara Musa na Eliya wakawatokea, wakawa wakizungumza na Yesu. 4 Kisha Petro akamwambia Yesu, “Bwana, ni vizuri kwamba sisi tuko hapa. Ukiniruhusu, nitatengeneza vibanda vitatu hapa: kimoja chako, kingine cha Musa na kingine cha Eliya.”
5 Petro alipokuwa bado akizungumza, ghafla, wingu linalong’aa likatanda juu yao na sauti ikatoka kwenye wingu hilo ikasema, “Huyu ni mwanangu mpendwa, ambaye nimependezwa naye; msikilizeni yeye.” 6 Wanafunzi waliposikia haya walianguka chini kifudifudi wakajawa na hofu. 7 Lakini Yesu akaja, akawagusa, akawaambia, “Inukeni. Msiogope.” 8 Walipoinua macho yao hawakumwona mtu mwingine isipokuwa Yesu peke yake.
9 Walipokuwa wakishuka mlimani, Yesu akawaambia, “Msimwambie mtu ye yote maono haya mpaka mimi Mwana wa Adamu nitakapofufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu.” 10 Wale wanafunzi wakamwuliza, “Kwa nini basi walimu wa sheria wanasema kwamba lazima Eliya aje kwanza?”
11 Akawajibu, “Ni kweli, Eliya lazima aje kwanza kurekeb isha mambo yote. 12 Lakini nawaambia, Eliya amekwisha kuja, lakini hawakumtambua, bali walimtendea walivyotaka. Na mimi Mwana wa Adamu pia watanitesa.” 13 Ndipo wale wanafunzi wakaelewa kuwa alikuwa anazungumza kuhusu Yohana Mbatizaji.
Yesu Amponya Kijana Mwenye Kifafa
14 Alipofikia ulipokuwa umati wa watu, mtu mmoja alimjia Yesu akapiga magoti mbele yake akasema, 15 “Bwana, mwonee huruma mwanangu. Yeye ana kifafa na anateseka sana. Mara nyingi huan guka motoni na kwenye maji. 16 Nimemleta kwa wanafunzi wako laki ni hawakuweza kumponya.”
17 Yesu akajibu, “Ninyi kizazi kipotovu msioamini, nitakaa nanyi mpaka lini na nitawavumilia mpaka lini? Mleteni kijana hapa kwangu.” 18 Yesu akamkemea yule pepo mchafu, akamtoka yule kijana, naye akapona tangu wakati huo. 19 Kisha wanafunzi wakam wendea Yesu kwa siri wakamwuliza, “Kwa nini sisi hatukuweza kum toa? ” 20 Akawajibu, “Kwa sababu ya imani yenu ndogo. Nina waambieni kweli, mkiwa na imani kama punje ndogo ya haradali, mtauambia mlima huu, ‘Ondoka hapa uende pale’ nao utaondoka; na hakuna ambalo halitawezekana kwenu.” [ 21 “Lakini pepo wa aina hii hatoki ila kwa kuomba na kufunga.”]
22 Siku moja walipokuwa pamoja Galilaya, Yesu aliwaambia, “Mwana wa Adamu atawekwa mikononi mwa watu. 23 Nao watamwua na siku ya tatu atafufuka.” Wakasikitika sana.
Yesu Na Petro Watoa Kodi Ya Hekalu
24 Yesu na wanafunzi wake walipofika Kapernaumu, wakusanyaji kodi ya Hekalu walimjia Petro wakamwuliza, “Je, mwalimu wako hulipa kodi ya Hekalu?” 25 Petro akajibu, “Ndio, analipa.” Petro aliporudi nyumbani, Yesu akawa wa kwanza kusema, akamwuli za, “Unaonaje Simoni’ wafalme wa ulimwengu hupokea ushuru na kodi kutoka kwa nani? Unadhani kutoka kwa jamaa zao au kutoka kwa wageni?” 26 Petro akamjibu, “Kutoka kwa wageni.” Yesu akam wambia, “Kwa hiyo jamaa zao wamesamehewa. 27 Lakini ili tusi waudhi, nenda baharini ukatupe ndoana. Mchukue samaki wa kwanza utakayemkamata; mfungue kinywa chake nawe utakuta fedha zinazo tosha kulipia kodi yangu na yako; ichukue ukawalipe.”
