Matthew 17

The True Glory of Jesus

(Mark 9.2-13; Luke 9.28-36)

1 # 2 P 1.17,18. Six days later Jesus took Peter and the brothers James and John with him. They went up on a very high mountain where they could be alone. 2There in front of the disciples, Jesus was completely changed. His face was shining like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.

3All at once Moses and Elijah were there talking with Jesus. 4So Peter said to him, “Lord, it is good for us to be here! Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 # Gn 22.2; Ps 2.7; Is 42.1; Mt 3.17; 12.18; Mk 1.11; Lk 3.22; Dt 18.15. While Peter was still speaking, the shadow of a bright cloud passed over them. From the cloud a voice said, “This is my own dear Son, and I am pleased with him. Listen to what he says!” 6When the disciples heard the voice, they were so afraid they fell flat on the ground. 7But Jesus came over and touched them. He said, “Get up and don't be afraid!” 8When they opened their eyes, they saw only Jesus.

9On their way down from the mountain, Jesus warned his disciples not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of Man had been raised from death.

10 # Ml 4.5. The disciples asked Jesus, “Don't the teachers of the Law of Moses say Elijah must come before the Messiah does?”

11 # Si 48.10. Jesus told them, “Elijah certainly will come and get everything ready. 12#Mt 11.14. In fact, he has already come. But the people did not recognize him and treated him just as they wanted to. They will soon make the Son of Man suffer in the same way.” 13Then the disciples understood Jesus was talking to them about John the Baptist.

Jesus Heals a Boy

(Mark 9.14-29; Luke 9.37-43a)

14Jesus and his disciples returned to the crowd. A man knelt in front of him 15and said, “Lord, have pity on my son! He has a bad case of epilepsy and often falls into a fire or into water. 16I brought him to your disciples, but none of them could heal him.”

17Jesus said, “You people are too stubborn to have any faith! How much longer must I be with you? Why do I have to put up with you? Bring the boy here.” 18Then Jesus spoke sternly to the demon. It went out of the boy, and right then he was healed.

19Later the disciples went to Jesus in private and asked him, “Why couldn't we force out the demon?”

20-21 # Mt 21.21; Mk 11.23; 1 Co 13.2. Jesus replied:

It is because you don't have enough faith! But I can promise you this. If you had faith no larger than a mustard seed, you could tell this mountain to move from here to there. And it would. Everything would be possible for you.#17.20,21 for you: Some manuscripts add, “But the only way to force out that kind of demon is by praying and going without eating.”

Jesus Again Speaks about His Death

(Mark 9.30-32; Luke 9.43b-45)

22While Jesus and his disciples were going from place to place in Galilee, he told them, “The Son of Man will be handed over to people 23who will kill him. But three days later he will rise to life.” All of this made the disciples very sad.

Paying the Temple Tax

24 # Ex 30.13-15; 38.26. When Jesus and the others arrived in Capernaum, the collectors for the temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your teacher pay the temple tax?”

25“Yes, he does,” Peter answered.

After they had returned home, Jesus went up to Peter and asked him, “Simon, what do you think? Do the kings of this earth collect taxes and fees from their own people or from foreigners?”#17.25 from their own people or from foreigners: Or “from their children or from others.”

26Peter answered, “From foreigners.”

Jesus replied, “Then their own people#17.26 From foreigners … their own people: Or “From other people … their children.” don't have to pay. 27But we don't want to cause trouble. So go cast a line into the lake and pull out the first fish you hook. Open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Use it to pay your taxes and mine.”

Mateo 17

Ang Pagbabagong-anyo ni Jesus

(Mc. 9:2-13; Lu. 9:28-36)

1Pagkaraan#2 Ped. 1:17-18. ng anim na araw, isinama ni Jesus si Pedro at ang magkapatid na Santiago at Juan, at sila'y umakyat sa isang mataas na bundok. 2Habang sila'y naroroon, nakita nilang nagbago ang anyo ni Jesus, nagliwanag na parang araw ang kanyang mukha at nagningning sa kaputian ang kanyang damit. 3At nakita ng tatlong alagad sina Moises at Elias na nakikipag-usap kay Jesus. 4Sinabi ni Pedro kay Jesus, “Panginoon, mabuti't naririto kami. Kung gusto ninyo, magtatayo ako ng tatlong tolda, isa sa inyo, isa kay Moises at isa kay Elias.” 5Habang#Gen. 22:2; Awit 2:7; Isa. 42:1; Mt. 3:17; 12:18; Mc. 1:11; Lu. 3:22; Deut. 18:15. nagsasalita pa si Pedro, nililiman sila ng napakaliwanag na ulap. Mula rito'y may tinig na nagsabi, “Ito ang minamahal kong Anak na lubos kong kinalulugdan. Pakinggan ninyo siya!” 6Nang marinig ng mga alagad ang tinig, labis silang natakot at nagpatirapa. 7Ngunit nilapitan sila ni Jesus at hinawakan. “Tumayo kayo, huwag kayong matakot!” sabi niya. 8Nang tumingin sila, si Jesus na lamang ang kanilang nakita.

9Habang sila'y bumababa sa bundok, iniutos sa kanila ni Jesus, “Huwag ninyong sasabihin kaninuman ang tungkol sa pangitain hangga't hindi muling nabubuhay ang Anak ng Tao.” 10Tinanong#Mal. 4:5. siya ng mga alagad, “Bakit po sinasabi ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na dapat munang dumating si Elias?” 11Sumagot#Ecc. 48:10. siya, “Darating nga si Elias upang ihanda ang lahat ng bagay. 12At#Mt. 11:14. sinasabi ko sa inyo, dumating na si Elias ngunit hindi siya kinilala ng mga tao, at ginawa nila kay Elias ang gusto nila. Kaya't tulad ng ginawa sa kanya, pahihirapan din nila ang Anak ng Tao.” 13Naunawaan ng mga alagad na si Juan na Tagapagbautismo ang tinutukoy niya.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Batang Sinasaniban ng Demonyo

(Mc. 9:14-29; Lu. 9:37-43a)

14Pagbalik nila sa maraming tao, lumapit kay Jesus ang isang lalaki at lumuhod ito sa harap niya, at nagsabi, 15“Ginoo, maawa po kayo sa anak ko! Siya po'y may epilepsya at lubhang nahihirapan. Madalas po siyang mabuwal sa apoy o kaya'y mahulog sa tubig. 16Dinala ko po siya sa inyong mga alagad ngunit siya'y hindi nila mapagaling.”

17Sumagot si Jesus, “Lahing napakasama at walang pananampalataya! Hanggang kailan ako dapat manatiling kasama ninyo? Hanggang kailan ko kayo pagtitiisan? Dalhin ninyo rito ang bata!” 18Inutusan ni Jesus ang demonyo na lumabas sa bata, at ang bata'y gumaling agad.

19Pagkatapos, nang sila-sila na lamang, lumapit ang mga alagad at tinanong si Jesus, “Bakit hindi po namin mapalayas ang demonyo?” 20Sumagot#Mt. 21:21; Mc. 11:23; 1 Cor. 13:2. siya, “Dahil sa maliit ang inyong pananampalataya. Tandaan ninyo: kung kayo'y may pananampalataya sa Diyos na sinlaki ng buto ng mustasa, maaari ninyong sabihin sa bundok na ito, ‘Lumipat ka roon!’ at ito'y lilipat nga. Tunay na walang bagay na hindi ninyo magagawa.” [21Ngunit ang ganitong uri ng demonyo ay hindi mapapalayas kundi sa pamamagitan ng pananalangin at pag-aayuno.]#17:21 Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang talatang 21.

Muling Binanggit ni Jesus ang Kanyang Kamatayan at Muling Pagkabuhay

(Mc. 9:30-32; Lu. 9:43b-45)

22Nang magkatipon sa Galilea ang mga alagad, sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Ang Anak ng Tao ay ipagkakanulo 23at papatayin, ngunit siya'y muling bubuhayin sa ikatlong araw.” At sila'y lubhang nalungkot.

Pagbabayad ng Buwis para sa Templo

24Pagdating#Exo. 30:13; 38:26. nila sa Capernaum, lumapit kay Pedro ang mga maniningil ng buwis para sa templo. “Nagbabayad ba ng buwis para sa templo ang inyong guro?” tanong nila.

25“Opo,” sagot ni Pedro. Nang pumasok siya sa bahay, tinanong siya ni Jesus, “Ano sa palagay mo, Simon? Sino ba ang nagbabayad ng buwis sa mga hari dito sa mundo, ang mga mamamayan#17:25 mga mamamayan: Sa Griego ay mga anak. ba, o ang mga dayuhan?” 26“Ang mga dayuhan po,” tugon ni Pedro. Sinabi ni Jesus, “Kung gayon, hindi dapat magbayad ang mga mamamayan. 27Gayunman, para wala silang masabi sa atin, pumunta ka sa lawa at mamingwit ka. Kunin mo ang unang isdang mahuli mo, ibuka mo ang bibig niyon, at may makikita kang isang salaping pilak.#17:27 ISANG SALAPING PILAK: Sa Griego ay statera, ito ay malaking halaga na katumbas ng apat na salaping pilak. Kunin mo iyon at ibayad mo para sa buwis nating dalawa.”
