Speaker 1 (00:00):
Matthew chapter seventeen. And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James,
and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an
high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them, and his
face did shine as the sun, and his raiment as
white as the light. And behold there appeared unto them

(00:21):
Moses and Elias talking with him, then answered Peter and said,
unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here.
If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one
for thee and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them,

(00:43):
and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said,
this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
Hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they
fell on their face and were sore afraid. And Jesus
came and touched them and said, arise and be not afraid.

(01:05):
And when they had lifted up their eyes they saw
no man save Jesus only. And as they came down
from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, tell the vision
to no man until the son of Man be risen
again from the dead, and his disciples asked him, saying,
why then, say the scribes that Elias must first come?

(01:29):
And Jesus answered and said, unto them, Elias truly shall
first come and restore all things. But I say unto
you that Elias is come already. And they knew him not,
but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise, shall
also the son of Man suffer of them? Then the

(01:50):
disciples understood that he speake unto them of John the Baptist.
And when they were come to the multitude, there came
to him a man, kneeling down to him and saying, Lord,
have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic and
sore vexed. For oft times he falleth into the fire
and oft into the water. And I brought him to

(02:13):
thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus
answered and said, Oh, faithless and perverse generation, how long
shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer?
You bring him hither to me? And Jesus rebuked the devil,
and he departed out of him, and the child was cured.

(02:35):
From that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus
apart and said, why could not we cast him out?
And Jesus said, unto them, because of your unbelief. For
verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as
a grain of mustard seed, he shall say unto this mountain,

(02:55):
remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and
nothing shall impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out,
but by prayer and fasting. And while they abode in Galilee,
Jesus said unto them, the son of Man shall be
betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him,

(03:17):
and the third day he shall be raised again. And
they were exceeding sorry. And when they were come to Capernium,
they that received tribute money came to Peter and said,
doth not your master pay tribute? He saith yes. And
when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying,

(03:39):
what thinkest thou, Simon, of whom do the kings of
the earth take custom or tribute of their own children?
Or of strangers? Peter saith unto him. Of strangers, Jesus
saith unto him. Then are the children free? Notwithstanding lest
we should offend them, Go thou to the sea and

(04:01):
cast a hook, and take up the fish that first
cometh up. And when thou hast opened his mouth, thou
shalt find a piece of money that take and give
unto them for me and thee
