Matthew 17

1Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;

και μεθ ημερας εξ παραλαμβανει ο ιησους τον πετρον και ιακωβον και ιωαννην τον αδελφον αυτου και αναφερει αυτους εις ορος υψηλον κατ ιδιαν·

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

και μετεμορφωθη εμπροσθεν αυτων, και ελαμψεν το προσωπον αυτου ως ο ηλιος, τα δε ιματια αυτου εγενετο λευκα ως το φως.

3And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

και ιδου ωφθησαν αυτοις μωσης και ηλιας μετ αυτου συλλαλουντες.

4Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, 'Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.'

αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν τω ιησου· κυριε, καλον εστιν ημας ωδε ειναι· ει θελεις, ποιησωμεν ωδε τρεις σκηνας, σοι μιαν και μωσει μιαν και μιαν ηλια.

5While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!'

ετι αυτου λαλουντος ιδου νεφελη φωτεινη επεσκιασεν αυτους, και ιδου φωνη εκ της νεφελης λεγουσα· ουτος εστιν ο υιος μου ο αγαπητος, εν ω ευδοκησα· αυτου ακουετε.

6And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.

και ακουσαντες οι μαθηται επεσον επι προσωπον αυτων και εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα.

7But Jesus came and touched them and said, 'Arise, and do not be afraid.'

και προσελθων ο ιησους ηψατο αυτων και ειπεν· εγερθητε και μη φοβεισθε.

8When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

επαραντες δε τους οφθαλμους αυτων ουδενα ειδον ει μη τον ιησουν μονον.

9Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, 'Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.'

και καταβαινοντων αυτων απο του ορους ενετειλατο αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων· μηδενι ειπητε το οραμα εως ου ο υιος του ανθρωπου εκ νεκρων αναστη.

10And His disciples asked Him, saying, 'Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?'

και επηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες· τι ουν οι γραμματεις λεγουσιν οτι ηλιαν δει ελθειν πρωτον;

11Jesus answered and said to them, 'Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.

ο δε ιησους αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις· ηλιας μεν ερχεται πρωτον και αποκαταστησει παντα·

12But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.'

λεγω δε υμιν οτι ηλιας ηδη ηλθεν, και ουκ επεγνωσαν αυτον, αλλ εποιησαν εν αυτω οσα ηθελησαν· ουτως και ο υιος του ανθρωπου μελλει πασχειν υπ αυτων.

13Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.

τοτε συνηκαν οι μαθηται οτι περι ιωαννου του βαπτιστου ειπεν αυτοις.

14And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,

και ελθοντων αυτων προς τον οχλον προσηλθεν αυτω ανθρωπος γονυπετων αυτον

15'Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

και λεγων· κυριε, ελεησον μου τον υιον, οτι σεληνιαζεται και κακως πασχει· πολλακις γαρ πιπτει εις το πυρ και πολλακις εις το υδωρ.

16So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.'

και προσηνεγκα αυτον τοις μαθηταις σου, και ουκ ηδυνηθησαν αυτον θεραπευσαι.

17Then Jesus answered and said, 'O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.'

αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν· ω γενεα απιστος και διεστραμμενη! εως ποτε εσομαι μεθ υμων; εως ποτε ανεξομαι υμων; φερετε μοι αυτον ωδε.

18And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.

και επετιμησεν αυτω ο ιησους, και εξηλθεν απ αυτου το δαιμονιον και εθεραπευθη ο παις απο της ωρας εκεινης.

19Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, 'Why could we not cast it out?'

τοτε προσελθοντες οι μαθηται τω ιησου κατ ιδιαν ειπον· διατι ημεις ουκ ηδυνηθημεν εκβαλειν αυτο;

20So Jesus said to them, 'Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· δια την απιστιαν υμων. αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν, εαν εχητε πιστιν ως κοκκον σιναπεως, ερειτε τω ορει τουτω, μεταβηθι εντευθεν εκει, και μεταβησεται, και ουδεν αδυνατησει υμιν.

21However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.'

τουτο δε το γενος ουκ εκπορευεται ει μη εν προσευχη και νηστεια.

22Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 'The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,

αναστρεφομενων δε αυτων εις την γαλιλαιαν ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους· μελλει ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοσθαι εις χειρας ανθρωπων

23and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up.' And they were exceedingly sorrowful.

και αποκτενουσιν αυτον, και τη τριτη ημερα εγερθησεται. και ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα.

24When they had come to Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter and said, 'Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?'

ελθοντων δε αυτων εις καπερναουμ προσηλθον οι τα διδραχμα λαμβανοντες τω πετρω και ειπον· ο διδασκαλος υμων ου τελει τα διδραχμα;

25He said, 'Yes.'

λεγει, ναι. και οτε εισηλθεν εις την οικιαν, προεφθασεν αυτον ο ιησους λεγων· τι σοι δοκει, σιμων; οι βασιλεις της γης απο τινων λαμβανουσιν τελη η κηνσον; απο των υιων αυτων η απο των αλλοτριων;

26And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, 'What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from strangers?' Peter said to Him, 'From strangers.'

λεγει αυτω ο πετρος· απο των αλλοτριων. εφη αυτω ο ιησους· αραγε ελευθεροι εισιν οι υιοι.

27Jesus said to him, 'Then the sons are free. Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.'

ινα δε μη σκανδαλισωμεν αυτους, πορευθεις εις την θαλασσαν βαλε αγκιστρον και τον αναβαντα πρωτον ιχθυν αρον, και ανοιξας το στομα αυτου ευρησεις στατηρα· εκεινον λαβων δος αυτοις αντι εμου και σου.
