Matthew 17
1¶ And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, his brother, and brought them apart up into a high mountain
2and [he] was transfigured before them, and his face shined as the sun, and his raiment was as white as the light.
3And, behold, Moses and Elijah appeared unto them talking with him.
4Then Peter answered and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to remain here; if thou desire, let us make three tabernacles here: one for thee and one for Moses and one for Elijah.
5While he yet spoke, behold, a cloud of light 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.
6And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and feared greatly.
7Then Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise and be not afraid.
8And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus only.
9And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one until the Son of man is risen from the dead.
10Then his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
11And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall come first and restore all things.
12But I say unto you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatever they pleased. Likewise the Son of man shall also suffer of them.
13Then the disciples understood that he spoke 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,
15Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic and suffers miserably; for many times he has fallen into the fire and often into the water.
16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17Then Jesus answered and said, O unfaithful and crooked generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him here to me.
18And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon departed out of him and the child was cured from that very hour.
19Then the disciples came to Jesus apart and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unfaithfulness; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove from here to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21Howbeit this lineage of demons does not go 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;
23and 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, those that received the two drachmas came to Peter and said, Does not your master pay the two drachmas?
25He said, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus spoke unto him first, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own sons or of strangers?
26Peter said unto him, Of strangers. Jesus said unto him, Then the sons are free.
27Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea and cast a hook and take up the first fish that comes up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a stater, a coin worth four drachmas; take that, and give it unto them for me and thee.

Matthew 17
17
1 And after six days, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and he led them onto a lofty mountain separately.
2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face shined brightly like the sun. And his garments were made white like snow.
3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, speaking with him.
4 And Peter responded by saying to Jesus: "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you are willing, let us make three tabernacles here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 And while he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud overshadowed them. And behold, there was a voice from the cloud, saying: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
6 And the disciples, hearing this, fell prone on their face, and they were very afraid.
7 And Jesus drew near and touched them. And he said to them, "Rise up and do not be afraid."
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
9 And as they were descending from the mountain, Jesus instructed them, saying, "Tell no one about the vision, until the Son of man has risen from the dead."
10 And his disciples questioned him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to arrive first?"
11 But in response, he said to them: "Elijah, indeed, shall arrive and restore all things.
12 But I say to you, that Elijah has already arrived, and they did not recognize him, but they did whatever they wanted to him. So also shall the Son of man suffer from them."
13 Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
14 And when he had arrived at the multitude, a man approached him, falling to his knees before him, saying: "Lord, take pity on my son, for he is an epileptic, and he suffers harm. For he frequently falls into fire, and often also into water.
15 And I brought him to your disciples, but they were not able to cure him."
16 Then Jesus responded by saying: "What an unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him here to me."
17 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
18 Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, "Why were we unable to cast him out?"
19 Jesus said to them: "Because of your unbelief. Amen I say to you, certainly, if you will have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it shall move. And nothing will be impossible for you.
20 But this kind is not cast out, except through prayer and fasting."
21 And when they were conversing together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: "The Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
22 And they will kill him, but he will rise again on the third day." And they were extremely saddened.
23 And when they had arrived at Capernaum, those who collected the half shekel approached Peter, and they said to him, "Doesn't your Teacher pay the half shekel?"
24 He said, "Yes." And when he had entered into the house, Jesus went before him, saying: "How does it seem to you, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they receive tribute or the census tax: from their own sons or from foreigners?"
25 And he said, "From foreigners." Jesus said to him: "Then the sons are free.
26 But so that we may not become an obstacle to them: go to the sea, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish that is brought up, and when you have opened its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take it and give it to them, for me and for you."
