Matthew 17:1-20

11SixG1803 daysG2250 laterG3326 JesusG2424 tookG3880 with Him 2PeterG4074 and 3JamesG2385 and JohnG2491 his brotherG80, and ledG399 them up on a highG5308 mountainG3735 by themselvesG2398. 2And He was transfiguredG3339 beforeG1715 them; and His faceG4383 shoneG2989 likeG5613 the sunG2246, and His garmentsG2440 becameG1096 as whiteG3022 as lightG5457. 3And beholdG2400, MosesG3475 and ElijahG2243 appearedG3708 to them, talkingG4814 with Him. 4PeterG4074 saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “LordG2962, it is goodG2570 for us to be hereG5602; ifG1487 You wishG2309, 4I will makeG4160 threeG5140 5tabernaclesG4633 hereG5602, oneG1520 for You, and oneG1520 for MosesG3475, and oneG1520 for ElijahG2243.” 5While he was stillG2089 speakingG2980, a brightG5460 cloudG3507 overshadowedG1982 them, and beholdG2400, 6a voiceG5456 out of the cloudG3507 saidG3004, “7ThisG3778 is My belovedG27 SonG5207, with whomG3739 I amG2106 well-pleasedG2106; listenG191 to Him!” 6When the disciplesG3101 heardG191 this, they fellG4098 8faceG4383 down to the ground and were terrifiedG5399. 7And JesusG2424 cameG4334 to them and touchedG681 them and saidG3004, “GetG1452 up, and 9do not be afraidG5399.” 8And liftingG1869 up their eyesG3788, they sawG3708 noG3762 oneG3762 exceptG1508 JesusG2424 HimselfG846 aloneG3441.

910As they were comingG2597 downG2597 from the mountainG3735, JesusG2424 commandedG1781 them, sayingG3004, “11TellG3004 the visionG3705 to noG3367 oneG3367 untilG2193 12the SonG5207 of ManG444 has 13risenG1453 from the deadG3498.” 10And His disciplesG3101 askedG1905 Him, “WhyG5101 thenG3767 do the scribesG1122 sayG3004 that 14ElijahG2243 mustG1163 comeG2064 firstG4413?” 11And He answeredG611 and saidG3004, “ElijahG2243 is comingG2064 and will restoreG600 allG3956 thingsG3956; 12but I sayG3004 to you that ElijahG2243 alreadyG2235 cameG2064, and they did not recognizeG1921 him, but didG4160 15to him whateverG3745 they wishedG2309. SoG3779 alsoG2532 16the SonG5207 of ManG444 is goingG3195 to sufferG3958 17at their handsG5259.” 13ThenG5119 the disciplesG3101 understoodG4920 that He had spokenG3004 to them aboutG4012 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.

1418When they cameG2064 to the crowdG3793, a manG444 cameG4334 up to Jesus, fallingG1120 on his kneesG1120 beforeG1120 Him and sayingG3004, 15“19LordG2962, haveG1653 mercyG1653 on my sonG5207, for he is a 2021lunaticG4583 and is veryG2560 illG2192G2560; for he oftenG4178 fallsG4098 into the fireG4442 and oftenG4178 into the waterG5204. 16I broughtG4374 him to Your disciplesG3101, and they couldG1410 not cureG2323 him.” 17And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “You unbelievingG571 and pervertedG1294 generationG1074, howG2193 longG2193G4219 shall I be with you? HowG2193 longG2193G4219 shall I putG430 up with you? BringG5342 him hereG5602 to Me.” 18And JesusG2424 rebukedG2008 him, and the demonG1140 cameG1831 out of him, and the boyG3816 was curedG2323 22at onceG1565G5610.

19ThenG5119 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to JesusG2424 privatelyG2596G2398 and saidG3004, “WhyG1223G5101 couldG1410 we not driveG1544 it out?” 20And He saidG3004 to them, “BecauseG1223 of the littlenessG3640 of your faithG3640; for trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 23ifG1437 you haveG2192 faithG4102 24the sizeG5613 of 25a mustardG4615 seedG2848, you will sayG3004 to 26thisG3778 mountainG3735, ‘MoveG3327 from hereG1759 to thereG1563,’ and it will moveG3327; and 27nothingG3762 will be impossibleG101 to you.
