The Good News According to Mattityahu, Chapter 17
{17:1} After six days, Yeshua took with him Rock, Ya`akov, and
Yochanan his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by
themselves. {17:2} He was transfigured before them. His face shone
like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light. {17:3}
Behold, Moshe and Eliyah appeared to them talking with him.
{17:4} Rock answered, and said to Yeshua, "Lord, it is good for us
to be here. If you want, let's make three tents here: one for you, one
for Moshe, and one for Eliyah."
{17:5} While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying,
"This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
{17:6} When the [1>]talmidim[<1] heard it, they fell on their faces,
and were very afraid. {17:7} Yeshua came and touched them and said,
"Get up, and don't be afraid." {17:8} Lifting up their eyes, they saw
no one, except Yeshua alone. {17:9} As they were coming down from the
mountain, Yeshua commanded them, saying, "Don't tell anyone what you
saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
{17:10} His [2>]talmidim[<2] asked him, saying, "Then why do the
[3>]Sofrim[<3] say that Eliyah must come first?
{17:11} Yeshua answered them, "Eliyah indeed comes first, and will
restore all things, {17:12} but I tell you that Eliyah has come
already, and they didn't recognize him, but did to him whatever they
wanted to. Even so will the Son of Man also suffer by them." {17:13}
Then the [4>]talmidim[<4] understood that he spoke to them of Yochanan
the immerser.
{17:14} When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling
to him, saying, {17:15} "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is
epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire,
and often into the water. {17:16} So I brought him to your
[5>]talmidim[<5], and they could not cure him."
{17:17} Yeshua answered, "Faithless and perverse generation! How
long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here
to me." {17:18} Yeshua rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the
boy was cured from that hour.
{17:19} Then the [6>]talmidim[<6] came to Yeshua privately, and
said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
{17:20} He said to them, "Because of your unbelief. For most
assuredly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed,
you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will
move; and nothing will be impossible to you. {17:21} But this kind
doesn't go out except by prayer and fasting."
{17:22} While they were staying in the Galil, Yeshua said to them,
"The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
{17:23} and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised
up."
They were exceedingly sorry. {17:24} When they had come to
Kafar-Nachum, those who collected the didrachmas came to Rock, and
said, "Doesn't your teacher pay the didrachma?" {17:25} He said, "Yes."
When he came into the house, Yeshua anticipated him, saying, "What
do you think, Shim`on? From whom do the kings of the [7>]eretz[<7]
receive toll or tribute? From their sons, or from strangers?"
{17:26} Rock said to him, "From strangers."
Yeshua said to him, "Therefore the sons are exempt. {17:27} But,
lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, and cast a hook, and
take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened his mouth,
you will find a stater. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."
