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."

Mattityahu 17
17
1And after shisha yamim (six days), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took Kefa, Ya'akov and Yochanan his brother; he brings them up to a high mountain in yechidus.
2And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was transfigured before them, and Moshiachʼs face shone like the shemesh (sun), and his garments became brilliant like the ohr.
3And hinei! There appeared before them Moshe Rabbenu and Eliyahu HaNavi conferring with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
4And Kefa said in reply to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will make shalosh sukkot here: one for you, and one for Moshe Rabbenu, and one for Eliyahu HaNavi.
5While he was speaking, hinei! A brightly shining anan (cloud) overshadowed them, and hinei! A bat kol (a voice from heaven) out of the anan was saying, This is My Ben ahuvi (beloved Son) with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him.
6And having heard this, the talmidim fell on their faces and were filled with pachad.
7And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to them, and touched them, and said, Arise, and do not be afraid.
8And lifting their eyes, they saw no one except only Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach himself, alone.
9And as Moshiachʼs talmidim were coming down from the mountain, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave them this directive saying, Tell the mareh (vision) to no one until the Bar Enosh#17:9 Moshiach has undergone the Techiyas HaMoshiach.
10And Moshiachʼs talmidim asked him, saying, Why then do the Sofrim say that it is necessary for Eliyahu HaNavi to come first?
11And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, Eliyahu HaNavi does indeed have his coming and will restore all things.
12But I say to you, that Eliyahu has come already, and they did not have daas of him, but did to him whatever they willed.#17:12 Mt 6:10 So also the Bar Enosh#17:12 Moshiach is about to suffer by them.
13Then the Moshiachʼs talmidim had binah that he spoke to them about Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva.
14And when they came to the multitude, a man came up to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, falling down before him.
15And the man said, Adoni, grant rachamim (mercy) on this ben (son) of mine, for he is an epileptic, and suffers horribly; for often he falls into the eish, and often into the mayim.
16And I brought him to your talmidim, and they could not give him refuah.
17And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, O perverted generation without emunah, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to me.
18And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach rebuked it, and the shed came out of him, and the bocher received his refuah that hour.
19Then the talmidim came to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in a yechidus (private meeting with the Rebbe), and said, Why were we not able to cast it out?
20And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, On account of your little emunah, for, omein, I say to you, if you have emunah as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Move from here, and it shall be moved; and nothing shall be impossible for you.
21But this kind#17:21 i.e., kind of mazikim (malicious spirits) do not come out except by tefillah and tzom.
22And as they were gathering together in the Galil, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, The Bar Enosh#17:22 Moshiach is about to be handed over, even betrayed, into the hands of Bnei Adam.
23And they will kill him, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach will have a histalkus (passing) and will undergo the Techiyas HaMoshiach on the Yom HaShlishi. And Moshiachʼs talmidim were deeply moved with agmat nefesh (grief).
24And when they had come to K'far-Nachum, those who collected the two drachma tax approached Kefa, and said, Does your rebbe not pay the two drachma tax?
25Kefa said, Ken. And when Kefa came into the bais (house), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach anticipated Kefa with this question, What think you, Shim'on? From whom do the melechei haaretz (kings of the earth) collect customs or poll tax, from their banim (sons) or from zarim (strangers)?
26And upon Kefaʼs saying, From zarim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to Kefa, Veha raya (consequently), the banim are patur (exempt, free).
27But, lest we give them offense, go to the yam (sea), and cast in a hook, and take the first dag (fish) that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a stater (coin). Take that and give it to them for you and for me.
