Matthew Chapter 17: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)
1And after six days the Jesus takes-along the Peter and a James and a John, the brother of him; and he brings-up them privately into an elevated mountain. 2And he was transformed in-front-of them, and the face of him illuminated as the sun, moreover the outer-garments of him became {the-one} white as the light. 3And to them, lo, {the-ones} conversing with him, a Moses and an Elijah, ╓was╖ ┌is┐ observed.
4Moreover the Peter, having replied, said to the Jesus, “Sir, it is excellent {onto} us to be here, if you desire, might ╓we make╖ ┌I make┐ here three tents, one to you, and one to a Moses, and one to an Elijah;
5yet {upon} him speaking lo a radiant cloud overshadowed them, and lo a voice out-of the cloud saying, “This-one is the son of me, the-one affectionately-beloved, within whom I am-well-pleased, hear you him!”
6And the adherents, having heard, fell upon the faces of them, and they were exceedingly terrified. 7And the Jesus, ╓having come-forward, contacted them╖ ┌having contacted them, came-forward┐, and he said, “Be arisen you! And be terrified you not!”
8Moreover they, arousing the eyes of them, observed no-one except ╓the╖ ┌a┐ Jesus ┌himself┐ alone; 9and {upon} them descending out of the mountain Jesus enjoined them saying, “You might say to no-one the spectacle until which the son of the humanity might ╓stand-up╖ ┌be awakened┐ out-of {the-ones} dead.”
10And the adherents of him interrogated him saying, “Then why do the scribes say, ‘That it-is-needful-for an Elijah to have come first?’ ”
11Moreover the Jesus, having replied, said to them, “Indeed an Elijah comes ╓first╖, and he will restore {the-ones} all; 12moreover I say to you, ‘That an Elijah already did come, and they did not recognize him; but they did within him {the-ones} as-much-as they desired; thus also the son of the humanity is intending to suffer from-under them.’ ”
13At-that-time the adherents comprehended-thoroughly that he said to them concerning a John, the purifier.
14And {upon} ╓them╖ having come towards the crowd, a person, falling-on-knees ┬to┬ ╔into╗ him, came-forward to him, ╒15and saying, “Sir! Have-mercy-on you the son of me because he is-moonstruck and he suffers badly‹a› for he many-times falls into the fire and many-times into the water╕ ╥and saying, 15“Sir! Have-mercy-on you the son of me because he is-moonstruck and he suffers badly‹a› for he many-times falls into the fire and many-times into the water╥; 16and I brought-forward him to the adherents of you, and they were-able not to medically-treat him.”
17Moreover the Jesus, having replied, said, “O! Impaired-of-complete-confidence-and-total-trust generation, and having had been perverted, how-long will I be with you? How-long will I put-up of you?” Bring you him here to me!” 18And the Jesus censured him, and the inferior-divine-being went-forth from him, and the boy was medically-treated from that, the second‹b›.
19At-that-time the adherents, having come-forward, privately to the Jesus said, “Wherefore were- we -able not to have cast-forth it?”
20Moreover ╓the Jesus said╖ ┌the one says┐ to them, “Through the ╓lacking-complete-confidence-and-total-trust╖ ┌diminished-complete-confidence-and-total-trust┐ of you, for I truly say to you, ‘If- you -would have a complete-confidence-and-total-trust as a kernel of mustard you will say to this, the mountain, ‘Transition you ╓hence╖ ┌thence┐ there, and it will transition,’ and nothing will be-impossible to you. ╓21Moreover this, the type, does not proceed-forth except within prayer and fasting.╖
22Moreover {upon} them being ╓retiring╖ ┌uniting┐ within the Galilee the Jesus said to them, “The son of the humanity is intending to hand-over into the hands of humanity, 23and they will kill him, and {within} the third day he will be awaken, and they were distressed exceedingly.
24Moveover {upon} them having come into ╓Capernaum╖ ┌Capharnaum┐ the-ones receiving the two-drachma-coins came-forward to the Peter and they said, “The teacher of you does not pay‹c› the two-drachma-coins.”
25He says, “Certainly!”
And ╓when he entered╖ ┌having come┐ into the house, the Jesus anticipated him saying, “Simon! Which do you think? ‘The kings of the land, from whom do they receive offerings-due‹d› or a poll-tax: from the sons of them or from the-ones belonging-to-others?’ ”
╓26The Peter says to him╖ ┌26Moreover {upon} saying┐, “From the-ones belonging-to-others.”
The Jesus was asserting to him, “Surely the sons are free.” 27Moreover so-that we might not stumble them, having been proceeded into ╓the╖ ┌a┐ sea cast you a fish-hook, and lift-up you the first fish ╒having ascended╕╥ascending╥, and you, having opened its mouth, will find a stater‹d›, having taking that-one, give-freely you to them against‹f› you and me.
