ULT MAT chapter 17

17 And after six days, Jesus takes along Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up onto a high mountain by themselves. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah were seen by them, talking with him. 4 And answering, Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will make[fn] here three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.” 6 And having heard, the disciples fell on their face and were very afraid. 7 And Jesus approached and having touched them, said, “Get up and do not be afraid.” 8 But having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except only Jesus himself.

9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man might have risen from the dead.” 10 And his disciples questioned him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to come first?” 11 But he, answering, said, “Elijah indeed comes and will restore all things. 12 But I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but they did to him whatever they wanted. In the same way also, the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them about John the Baptist.

14 And having come to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling before him 15 and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he is epileptic and has sickness, for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.” 17 But answering, Jesus said, “O unbelieving and perverted generation, until when will I be with you? Until when will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked it, and the demon came out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.

19 Then the disciples, having approached Jesus privately, said, “For what reason were we not able to cast it out?” 20 And he says to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you had 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 [fn] [But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.]

22 Now they being gathered 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 up.” And they were very grieved.

24 Now when they had come to Capernaum, the ones collecting the two-drachma tax approached Peter and said, “Does not your teacher pay the two-drachma tax?” 25 He says, “Yes.” And having entered into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? The kings of the earth—from whom do they receive taxes or tolls? From their sons or from strangers?” 26 But having said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Therefore, the sons are free. 27 But in order that we might not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, throw in a fishhook, and draw in the first fish having come up. And having opened its mouth, you will find a shekel. Having taken that, give it to them on behalf of me and you.”
