1. And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and brought them up a high mountain by themselves.
2. And he was transfigured before them, his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
3. And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him.
4. Peter responded to Jesus, "Lord, being here is good for us. If you wish, I will make three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5. While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I was pleased—listen to him."
6. And when the disciples heard, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.
7. And Jesus approached and touched them and said, "Rise, and fear not."
8. But when they raised their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
9. As they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them: "Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man rises from the dead."
10. And the disciples asked him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
11. But he answered, "Elijah indeed comes and will restore all things."
12. I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted; likewise the Son of Man also is about to suffer by them.
13. Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
14. When they came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling before him.
15. And saying, Lord, have mercy on my son, because he is moonstruck and suffers terribly; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16. And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him.
17. Jesus answered, "O unbelieving and twisted generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him here to me."
18. Jesus rebuked him, and the demon departed from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.
19. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why weren't we able to drive it out?"
20. He said to them, "Because of your little faith. Yes, I tell you, if you have faith like 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. But this kind does not come out except through prayer and fasting.
22. While they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be handed over into the hands of men."
23. And they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised. And they grieved greatly.
24. When they arrived in Capernaum, those collecting the two-drachma tax approached Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax?"
25. Yes," he said. When he entered the house, Jesus spoke first, saying, "Simon, what do you think? From whom do the kings of the earth take toll or tribute—from their sons, or from foreigners?
26. When he said, "From others," Jesus told him, "Then the sons are free."
27. But lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; open its mouth, and you will find a stater. Take that one and give it to them for me and you.
