YLT - Matthew - 17

17:1  And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,

17:2  and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

17:3  and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him.

17:4  And Peter answering said to Jesus, `Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths--for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.'

17:5  While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, --the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'

17:6  And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,

17:7  and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, `Rise, be not afraid,'

17:8  and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.

17:9  And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, `Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.'

17:10  And his disciples questioned him, saying, `Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?'

17:11  And Jesus answering said to them, `Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,

17:12  and I say to you--Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.'

17:13  Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.

17:14  And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,

17:15  and saying, `Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water,

17:16  and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.'

17:17  And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'

17:18  and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.

17:19  Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, `Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?'

17:20  And Jesus said to them, `Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

17:21  and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and fasting.'

17:22  And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, `The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,

17:23  and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,' and they were exceeding sorry.

17:24  And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, `Your teacher--doth he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, `Yes.'

17:25  And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, `What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth--from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?'

17:26  Peter saith to him, `From the strangers.' Jesus said to him, `Then are the sons free;

17:27  but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.'
