1SIX days later Jesus chose Peter, James and his brother John, to accompany him high up on the hillside where they were quite alone.

2There his whole appearance changed before their eyes, his face shining like the sun and his clothes as white as light.

3Then Moses and Elijah were seen talking to Jesus.

4"Lord," exclaimed Peter, "it is wonderful for us to be here! If you like I could put up three shelters, one each for you and Moses and Elijah"

5But while he was still talking a bright cloud overshadowed them and a voice came out of the cloud: "This is my dearly loved Son in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!"

6When they heard this voice the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear.

7Then Jesus came up to them and touched them. "Get up and don't be frightened," he said.

8And as they raised their eyes there was no one to be seen but Jesus himself.

9On their way down the hillside Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about what they had sore until after the Son of Man had been raised from the dead.

10Then the disciples demanded, "Why is it, then, that the scribes always say Elijah must come first?"

11"Yes, Elijah does come first," replied Jesus, "and begins the world's reformation.

12But I tell you that Elijah has come already and men did not recognise him. They did what they liked with him, and the Son of Man will also suffer at their hands."

13Then the disciples realised that he had been referring to John the Baptist.

14When they returned to the crowd again a man came and knelt in front of Jesus.

15"Lord, have pity on my son," he said, "for he is a lunatic and suffers terribly. He is always falling into the fire or into the water.

16I did bring him to your disciples but they couldn't cure him." "You really are an unbelieving and difficult people,"

17Jesus returned. "How long must I be with you, and how long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"

18Then Jesus spoke sternly to the evil spirit and it went out of the boy, who was cured from that moment.

19Afterwards the disciples approached Jesus privately and asked, "Why weren't we able to get rid of it?"

20"Because you have so little faith," replied Jesus. "I assure you that if you have faith the size of a mustardseed you can say to this hill, 'Up you get and move over there!' and it will moveyou will find nothing is impossible."

22As they went about together in Galilee, Jesus told them, "The San of Man is going to be handed over to the power of men,

23and they will kill him. And on the third day he will be raised to life again." This greatly distressed the disciples.

24Then when they arrived at Capernaum the Temple taxcollectors came up and said to Peter, "Your master doesn't pay Templetax, we presume?"

25"Oh, yes, he does!" replied Peter. Later when he went into the house Jesus anticipated what he was going to say. "What do you think, Simon?" he said. "Whom do the kings of this world get their tolls and taxes fromtheir own family or from others?"

26"From others," replied Peter. "Then the family is exempt," Jesus told him.

27"Yet we don't want to give offence to these people, so go down to the lake and throw in your hook. Take the first fish that bites, open his mouth and you'll find a silver coin. Take that and give it to them, for both of us."
