Jesus Seen with Moses and Elijah
(Mk. 9:2-13; Lk. 9:28-36)
17 1Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John the brother of James and
went up on a high mountain. They were all alone there. 2While these followers watched
him, Jesus was changed. His face became bright like the sun. And his clothes became
white as light. 3Then two men were there, talking with Jesus. The men were Moses
and Elijah.* 4Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you want,
I will put three tents here--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 5While
Peter was talking, a bright cloud came over them. A voice came from the cloud. The
voice said, "This (Jesus) is my Son and I love him. I am very pleased with him.
Obey him!" 6The followers with Jesus heard this voice. They were very afraid, so
they fell to the ground. 7But Jesus came to the followers and touched them. Jesus
said, "Stand up. Don't be afraid." 8The followers looked up, and they saw Jesus
was now alone. 9Jesus and the followers were walking down the mountain. Jesus commanded
the followers, "Don't tell any person about the things you saw on the mountain.
Wait until the Son of Man* has been raised from death. Then you can tell people
about what you saw." 10The followers asked Jesus, "Why do the teachers of the law
say that Elijah* must come* first [before the Christ* comes]?" 11Jesus answered,
"They are right to say that Elijah is coming. And it is true that Elijah will make
all things the way they should be. 12But I tell you, Elijah has already come. People
did not know who he was. People did to him all the [bad] things they wanted to do.
It is the same with the Son of Man.* Those same people will make the Son of Man
suffer." 13Then the followers understood that Jesus meant that John the Baptizer
was really Elijah.
Jesus Heals a Sick Boy
(Mk. 9:14-29; Lk. 9:37-43a)
14Jesus and the followers went back to the people. A man came to Jesus and bowed
before him. 15The man said, "Lord, be kind to my son. He has epilepsy* and is suffering
very much. My son often falls into the fire or into the water. 16I brought my son
to your followers, but they could not heal him." 17Jesus answered, "You people have
no faith. Your lives are all wrong. How long must I stay with you? How long must
I continue to be patient with you? Bring the boy here." 18Jesus gave a strong command
to the demon* inside the boy. Then the demon came out of the boy, and the boy was
healed. 19Then the followers came to Jesus alone. They said, "We tried to force
the demon* out of the boy, but we could not. Why were we not able to make the demon
go out?" 20Jesus answered, "You were not able to make the demon* go out, because
your faith is too small. I tell you the truth. If your faith is as big as a mustard
seed,* then you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there.' And it will
move. All things will be possible for you." 21*
Jesus Talks About His Death
(Mk. 9:30-32; Lk. 9:43b-45)
22Later, the followers met together in Galilee. Jesus said to the followers, "The
Son of Man* will be given into the control of men. 23Those men will kill the Son
of Man. But on the third day the Son of Man will be raised from death." The followers
were very sad [to hear that Jesus would be killed].
Jesus Teaches About Paying Taxes
24Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum.* In Capernaum some men came to Peter.
They were the men that collected the two-drachma tax.* They asked, "Does your teacher
pay the two-drachma tax?" 25Peter answered, "Yes, Jesus pays the tax." Peter went
into the house where Jesus was. Before Peter could speak, Jesus said to him, "The
kings on the earth get different kinds of taxes from people. But who are the people
that pay the taxes? Are these people the king's children? Or is it other people
that pay the taxes? What do you think?" 26Peter answered, "The other people pay
the taxes." Jesus said, "Then the children of the king don't have to pay taxes.
27But we don't want to make these tax collectors angry. So [pay the tax in this
way]: Go to the lake and fish. After you catch the first fish, open the fish's mouth.
Inside its mouth you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that coin and give it to
the tax collectors. That will pay the tax for you and me."
