\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 man 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 man about to be suffering by them.
|
|
\VS{13} Then the
|
|
disciples understood that he spoke to them concerning \John the Baptist.
|
|
|
|
\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
|
|
evil-ly. 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 unbelief\footnote{``unbelief'' DW\koine{} \vulgate{};
|
|
``little-belief'' \sinaiticus{}B}. Truly I say to you, if you have belief 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
|
|
man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.
|
|
\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 came
|
|
to \Petros and said: Doesn't your teacher pay [the] double-drachma?
|
|
\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. 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. Taking
|
|
this give [it] to them for me and you.
