1 Six|strong="G1803" days|strong="G2250" later|strong="G3326", Jesus|strong="G2424" took|strong="G3880" with|strong="G3326" him|strong="G3588" Peter|strong="G4074", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" brothers James|strong="G2385" and|strong="G2532" John|strong="G2491", and|strong="G2532" led|strong="G2424" them|strong="G3588" up|strong="G1519" a|strong="G2532" high|strong="G5308" mountain|strong="G3735" alone|strong="G1438".
2 There|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" appearance|strong="G4383" was|strong="G1096" transformed|strong="G3339" before|strong="G1715" their|strong="G2532" eyes; his|strong="G2532" face|strong="G4383" shone|strong="G2989" like|strong="G5613" the|strong="G2532" sun|strong="G2246", and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" clothes|strong="G2440" became|strong="G1096" as|strong="G5613" white|strong="G3022" as|strong="G5613" the|strong="G2532" light|strong="G5457".
3 All|strong="G2532" at|strong="G2532" once Moses|strong="G3475" and|strong="G2532" Elijah|strong="G2243" appeared|strong="G3708" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3708", talking|strong="G4814" with|strong="G3326" Jesus|strong="G2532".
4 ‘Master|strong="G2962",’ exclaimed|strong="G3004" Peter|strong="G4074", interposing, ‘it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" good|strong="G2570" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" here|strong="G5602"; if|strong="G1487" you|strong="G4771" wish|strong="G2309", I|strong="G1473" will|strong="G2309" make|strong="G4160" three|strong="G5140" tents|strong="G4633" here|strong="G5602", one|strong="G1520" for|strong="G1161" you|strong="G4771", one|strong="G1520" for|strong="G1161" Moses|strong="G3475", and|strong="G2532" one|strong="G1520" for|strong="G1161" Elijah|strong="G2243".’
5 While|strong="G1722" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" still|strong="G2089" speaking|strong="G2980", a|strong="G2532" bright|strong="G5460" cloud|strong="G3507" enveloped them|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" voice|strong="G5456" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1722" cloud|strong="G3507" that|strong="G3739" said|strong="G3004" – ‘This|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" my|strong="G3708" dearly loved son|strong="G5207", who|strong="G3739" brings|strong="G1510" me|strong="G1473" great|strong="G2980" joy; listen|strong="G2400" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588".’
6 The|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101", on|strong="G1909" hearing this|strong="G3588", fell|strong="G4098" on|strong="G1909" their|strong="G2532" faces|strong="G4383", greatly|strong="G4970" afraid|strong="G5399".
7 But|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" came|strong="G4334" and|strong="G2532" touched them|strong="G3588", saying|strong="G3004" as|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" did|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2532", ‘\+w Rise|strong="G1453"\+w* \+w up|strong="G1453"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w be|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w afraid|strong="G5399"\+w*.’
8 When|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" raised|strong="G1869" their|strong="G3588" eyes|strong="G3788", they|strong="G1161" saw|strong="G3708" no|strong="G3762" one|strong="G3762" but|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" himself|strong="G3441" alone|strong="G3441".
9 As|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" going|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" the|strong="G2532" mountain|strong="G3735" side, Jesus|strong="G2424" gave|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" this|strong="G3588" warning – ‘\+w Do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3367"\+w* \+w speak|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w this|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w vision|strong="G3705"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w anyone|strong="G3367"\+w*, \+w until|strong="G2193"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w Man|strong="G3367"\+w* \+w has|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w risen|strong="G1453"\+w* \+w from|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w dead|strong="G3498"\+w*.’
10 ‘How|strong="G5101" is|strong="G3588" it|strong="G2532",’ his|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101" asked|strong="G1905", ‘that|strong="G3754" our|strong="G2532" teachers of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Law say|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3754" Elijah|strong="G2243" has|strong="G5101" to|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064" first|strong="G4413"?’
11 ‘\+w Elijah|strong="G2243"\+w* \+w indeed|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w does|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w come|strong="G2064"\+w*,’ Jesus|strong="G3004" replied|strong="G3004", ‘\+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w will|strong="G2532"\+w* restore \+w everything|strong="G3956"\+w*;

13 Then|strong="G5119" the|strong="G3588" disciples|strong="G3101" understood|strong="G4920" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G3754" had|strong="G3588" spoken|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588" about|strong="G4012" John|strong="G2491" the|strong="G3588" Baptist.
14 When|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G4314" the|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793", a|strong="G2532" man came|strong="G2064" up|strong="G4334" to|strong="G4314" Jesus|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532", kneeling|strong="G2532" down|strong="G1120" before|strong="G4314" him|strong="G3588", said|strong="G2532",
15 ‘Master|strong="G2962", take|strong="G2532" pity on|strong="G1519" my|strong="G1473" son|strong="G5207", for|strong="G1063" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" epileptic and|strong="G2532" suffers|strong="G3958" terribly; indeed|strong="G2532", he|strong="G2532" often|strong="G4178" falls|strong="G4098" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" fire|strong="G4442" and|strong="G2532" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" water|strong="G5204";
16 I|strong="G2532" brought|strong="G4374" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" your|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101", but|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" could|strong="G1410" not|strong="G3756" cure|strong="G2323" him|strong="G3588".’
17 ‘Faithless \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w perverse|strong="G1294"\+w* \+w generation|strong="G1074"\+w*!’ Jesus|strong="G2424" exclaimed|strong="G3004", ‘\+w how|strong="G2193"\+w* \+w long|strong="G2193"\+w* \+w must|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w be|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w among|strong="G3326"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*? \+w How|strong="G2193"\+w* \+w long|strong="G2193"\+w* \+w must|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2532"\+w* patience \+w with|strong="G3326"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*? \+w Bring|strong="G5342"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* boy \+w here|strong="G5602"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*.’
18 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" rebuked|strong="G2008" the|strong="G2532" demon|strong="G1140", and|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" came|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" boy|strong="G3816"; and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" cured|strong="G2323" from|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" very|strong="G2532" hour|strong="G5610".
19 Afterwards the|strong="G1223" disciples|strong="G3101" came|strong="G4334" up|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2596" Jesus|strong="G2424", and|strong="G4334" asked|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588" privately|strong="G2398", ‘Why|strong="G5101" was|strong="G3588" it|strong="G5101" that|strong="G3588" we|strong="G2249" could|strong="G1410" not|strong="G3756" drive|strong="G1544" it|strong="G5101" out|strong="G1544"?’
20 ‘\+w Because|strong="G1223"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w so|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w little|strong="G3640"\+w* \+w faith|strong="G4102"\+w*!’ he|strong="G2532" answered|strong="G3004", ‘\+w For|strong="G1063"\+w*, \+w I|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w tell|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*, \+w if|strong="G1437"\+w* \+w your|strong="G1223"\+w* \+w faith|strong="G4102"\+w* \+w were|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w only|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w like|strong="G5613"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w mustard|strong="G4615"\+w* \+w seed|strong="G2848"\+w*, \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w could|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w say|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w this|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w mountain|strong="G3735"\+w* “\+w Move|strong="G3327"\+w* \+w from|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w this|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w place|strong="G1563"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w*!” \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w it|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w would|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w be|strong="G2532"\+w* moved; \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w nothing|strong="G3762"\+w* \+w would|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w be|strong="G2532"\+w* impossible \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*.’
22 While|strong="G1722" Jesus|strong="G2424" and|strong="G1161" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" together|strong="G4962" in|strong="G1722" Galilee|strong="G1056", he|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588", ‘\+w The|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w Man|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* destined \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w be|strong="G3195"\+w* \+w betrayed|strong="G3860"\+w* \+w into|strong="G1519"\+w* human \+w hands|strong="G5495"\+w*,

24 After|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" reached|strong="G1519" Capernaum|strong="G2584", the|strong="G2532" collectors of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Temple tax came|strong="G2064" up|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" Peter|strong="G4074", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘Does|strong="G2064" not|strong="G3756" your|strong="G2532" Master|strong="G1320" pay|strong="G5055" the|strong="G2532" Temple tax?’
25 ‘Yes|strong="G3483",’ answered|strong="G3004" Peter|strong="G2532". But|strong="G2532", on|strong="G1519" going|strong="G2532" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" house|strong="G3614", before|strong="G1519" he|strong="G2532" could|strong="G3588" speak|strong="G3004", Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w What|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w do|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w think|strong="G1380"\+w*, \+w Simon|strong="G4613"\+w*? \+w From|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w whom|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w do|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w earthly|strong="G1093"\+w* \+w kings|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w take|strong="G2983"\+w* \+w taxes|strong="G2778"\+w* \+w or|strong="G2228"\+w* \+w tribute|strong="G2778"\+w*? \+w From|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w their|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w sons|strong="G5207"\+w*, \+w or|strong="G2228"\+w* \+w from|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w others|strong="G3588"\+w*?’
