1And six days later Yeshua(Jesus) took with Him Peter and James and John his brother and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
2And He was transfigured before them — His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.
3And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
4Peter answered and said to Yeshua(Jesus): "Lord, it is good for us to be here — if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah."
5While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said: "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased — listen to Him!"
6When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.
7And Yeshua(Jesus) came to them and touched them and said: "Get up and do not be afraid."
8And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Yeshua(Jesus) Himself alone.
9As they were coming down from the mountain, Yeshua(Jesus) commanded them, saying: "Tell the horama(vision) to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
10And His disciples asked Him, saying: "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
11And He answered and said: "Elijah is coming and will restore all things;
12but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished — so also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."
13Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
14And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to Him, kneeling before Him
15and saying: "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is moon-struck and suffers terribly — for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
16And I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him."
17And Yeshua(Jesus) answered and said: "O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me."
18And Yeshua(Jesus) rebuked it, and the demon(individual evil spirit to be expelled) came out of him, and the boy was cured from that hora(that-hour).
19Then the disciples came to Yeshua(Jesus) privately and said: "Why could we not cast it out?"
20And He said to them: "Because of your little faith — for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of 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.
21But this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting."
22And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Yeshua(Jesus) said to them: "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men,
23and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day." And they were deeply grieved.
24When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said: "Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax?"
25He said: "Yes." And when he came into the house, Yeshua(Jesus) spoke to him first, saying: "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax — from their sons or from strangers?"
26When Peter said: "From strangers," Yeshua(Jesus) said to him: "Then the sons are exempt.
27However, so that we do not skandalizo(offend, cause-to-stumble) them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first 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 Me."
