1And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
1Et post dies sex assumit Jesus Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem fratrem ejus, et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum:
2And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.
2et transfiguratus est ante eos. Et resplenduit facies ejus sicut sol: vestimenta autem ejus facta sunt alba sicut nix.
3And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.
3Et ecce apparuerunt illis Moyses et Elias cum eo loquentes.
4And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
4Respondens autem Petrus, dixit ad Jesum: Domine, bonum est nos hic esse: si vis, faciamus tria tabernacula, tibi unum, Moysi unum, et Eliæ unum.
5And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.
5Adhuc eo loquente, ecce nubes lucida obumbravit eos. Et ecce vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi bene complacui: ipsum audite.
6And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
6Et audientes discipuli ceciderunt in faciem suam, et timuerunt valde.
7And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not.
7Et accessit Jesus, et tetigit eos: dixitque eis: Surgite, et nolite timere.
8And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus.
8Levantes autem oculos suos, neminem viderunt, nisi solum Jesum.
9And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
9Et descendentibus illis de monte, præcepit eis Jesus, dicens: Nemini dixeritis visionem, donec Filius hominis a mortuis resurgat.
10And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?
10Et interrogaverunt eum discipuli, dicentes: Quid ergo scribæ dicunt, quod Eliam oporteat primum venire?
11But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.
11At ille respondens, ait eis: Elias quidem venturus est, et restituet omnia.
12But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.
12Dico autem vobis, quia Elias jam venit, et non cognoverunt eum, sed fecerunt in eo quæcumque voluerunt. Sic et Filius hominis passurus est ab eis.
13Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
13Tunc intellexerunt discipuli, quia de Joanne Baptista dixisset eis.
14And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.
14Et cum venisset ad turbam, accessit ad eum homo genibus provolutus ante eum, dicens: Domine, miserere filio meo, quia lunaticus est, et male patitur: nam sæpe cadit in ignem, et crebro in aquam.
15And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
15Et obtuli eum discipulis tuis, et non potuerunt curare eum.
16Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
16Respondens autem Jesus, ait: O generatio incredula, et perversa, quousque ero vobiscum? usquequo patiar vos? Afferte huc illum ad me.
17And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.
17Et increpavit illum Jesus, et exiit ab eo dæmonium, et curatus est puer ex illa hora.
18Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?
18Tunc accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum secreto, et dixerunt: Quare nos non potuimus ejicere illum?
19Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
19Dixit illis Jesus: Propter incredulitatem vestram. Amen quippe dico vobis, si habueritis fidem sicut granum sinapis, dicetis monti huic: Transi hinc illuc, et transibit, et nihil impossibile erit vobis.
20But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
20Hoc autem genus non ejicitur nisi per orationem et jejunium.
21And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
21Conversantibus autem eis in Galilæa, dixit illis Jesus: Filius hominis tradendus est in manus hominum:
22And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly.
22et occident eum, et tertia die resurget. Et contristati sunt vehementer.
23And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachmas?
23Et cum venissent Capharnaum, accesserunt qui didrachma accipiebant ad Petrum, et dixerunt ei: Magister vester non solvit didrachma?
24He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom? of their own children, or of strangers?
24Ait: Etiam. Et cum intrasset in domum, prævenit eum Jesus, dicens: Quid tibi videtur Simon? reges terræ a quibus accipiunt tributum vel censum? a filiis suis, an ab alienis?
25And he said: Of strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free.
25Et ille dixit: Ab alienis. Dixit illi Jesus: Ergo liberi sunt filii.
26But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee.
26Ut autem non scandalizemus eos, vade ad mare, et mitte hamum: et eum piscem, qui primus ascenderit, tolle: et aperto ore ejus, invenies staterem: illum sumens, da eis pro me et te.
