Tree of Life Version

Matthew 17:4-21

4Peter responded to Yeshua, “Master, it’s good for us to be here! If You wish, I will make three sukkot here—one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5While He was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold, a voice from out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”

6When the disciples heard this, they fell face down, terrified.

7But Yeshua came and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Stop being afraid.”

8And lifting their eyes, they saw no one except Yeshua alone.

9As they were coming down from the mountain, Yeshua commanded them, saying, “Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

10The disciples questioned Him, saying, “Why then do the Torah scholars say that Elijah must come first?”

11Yeshua replied, “Indeed, Elijah is coming and will restore all things.

12I tell you that Elijah already came; and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. In the same way, the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands.”

13Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Immerser.

14When they came to the crowd, a man came to Yeshua, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

15“Master, have mercy on my son, for he has seizures and suffers badly. For he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

16I brought him to Your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him.”

17And answering, Yeshua said, “O faithless and twisted generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

18Yeshua rebuked the demon and it came out of him, and the boy was healed from that very hour.

19Then the disciples came to Yeshua in private and said, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

20And He said to them, “Because you trust so little. Amen, I tell 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. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

21[footnote: Most manuscripts omit verse 21: But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.]
