\subsection{\Matthew 17}
\subsubsection{The Transfiguration}
\VS{1} And after six days \Iesous took \Petros and \Jacob\fnJacob{} 
and \John his brother and brought them up to [a] high mountain by themselves. 
\VS{2} And he was transformed before them, and his face shown as the sun, 
his garment became white as light. 
\VS{3} And behold \Moses and \Elias were seen by them conversing with him. 
\VS{4} But \Petros answering said to \Iesous{}: 
Lord, it is good\footnote{or ``beautiful''} [that] we are here. 
If you wish, we will build three shelters, one for you and one for \Moses and one for \Elias. 
\VS{5} While he was yet speaking behold [a] radiant cloud overshadowed them, 
and behold [a] voice out of the cloud said: This is my agape-beloved son with whom I am well-pleased. 
Be hearing him. 
\VS{6} And when the disciples heard they fell on their faces and feared greatly. 
\VS{7} And \Iesous came and grasping them said: 
Rise and be not fearing. 
\VS{8} And when they lifted up their eyes they saw nothing except \Iesous himself only. 

\VS{9} And while coming down the mountain \Iesous commanded them saying: 
Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{} rises out of [the] dead. 
\VS{10} And the disciples asked him saying: 
Why therefore do the scribes say the \Elias must come first? 
\VS{11} And 
answering he said: \Elias indeed comes and restores\footnote{or ``reestablishes''} everything. 
\VS{12} But I say to you that \Elias already 
came and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they wished. Thus 
also is the Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{} about to be suffering by them. 
\VS{13} Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them concerning \John the Baptizer. 

\subsubsection{The Disciples's Failure to Heal}
\VS{14} And when they came to the crowd [a] man came to him kneeling before him 
\VS{15} and saying: Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is insane%
\footnote{literally ``moon-struck'' --- ``epilepsy''?} 
and suffers badly. 
For often he falls into the fire and often into the water. 
\VS{16} And I brought him to your disciples and they were unable to heal him. 
\VS{17} \Iesous answering said: O unbelieving and perverted nation, 
how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Be bringing him here to me. 
\VS{18} And \Iesous rebuked him and the demon came out from him 
and the child was healed from that hour. 
\VS{19} Then when the disciples came to \Iesous privately they said: 
Why were we unable to cast it out? 
\VS{20} So he says to them: Because of your untrust\footnote{``untrust'' DW\koine{} \vulgate{}; 
``little-trust'' \sinaiticus{}B}. 
Truly I say to you, if you have trust like [a] grain of mustard, 
you will say to this mountain: 
Go from here to there, and it will go, and nothing will be impossible to you. 
\VS{21} \footnote{vs 21: DW\koine{} \vulgate{}; omit the verse: B\sinaiticus{} few}
But this type does not go out except in prayer and fasting.

\subsubsection{Second Prediction of \Iesous's Death and Resurrection}
\VS{22} When they came together in \Galilee \Iesous said to them: 
The Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{} is about to be delivered into the hands of people. 
\VS{23} And they will kill him, and on the third day he will arise. 
And they were greatly disturbed.

\subsubsection{The Temple Tax}
\VS{24} When they came into \Kapernaoum the [ones] collecting double-drachmas\fnDrachma{} came to \Petros and said: 
Doesn't your teacher pay [the] double-drachma [tax]? 
\VS{25} He says: Yes. And when they came to the house \Iesous came before him saying: 
How does it seem to you \Simon? From which do the kings of the earth collect taxes or tolls? 
From his sons or from the strangers\footnote{or ``foreigners"}? 
\VS{26} So when he said: From the strangers\footnote{or ``foreigners"}, 
\Iesous said to him: Therefore the sons are exempt. 
\VS{27} But in order that we not cause them to stumble, 
having gone to the sea throw [a] fishhook and take the first fish you bring up, 
and opening its mouth you will find [a] stater\fnStater{}. 
Taking this give [it] to them for me and you.
