1After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

2There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

3Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

4Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩϭⲏⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲁⲥⲉⲣϧⲏⲓⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϯϭⲏⲡⲓ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲧⲁⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ.
5While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and 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 facedown in terror.

7Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Do not be afraid.”

8And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
10ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ ⲥⲉϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲏ̇ⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ.
10The disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ Ⲏ̇ⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
11Jesus replied, “Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things.

12But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”

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

14When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus and knelt before Him.

15“Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.

16I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him.”

17“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to Me.”
18ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ⳿ⲛⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲓϧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
18Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.

19Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

20“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

22When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.

24After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”

25“Yes,” he answered. When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”
