Matthew 17:1-15 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And after six days יהושע took Kĕpha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yoḥanan his brother, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves,

2. and He was transformed before them, and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as the light.

3. And see, Mosheh and Ěliyahu appeared to them, talking with Him.

4. And Kĕpha answering, said to יהושע, “Master, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, let us make here three booths: one for You, one for Mosheh, and one for Ěliyahu.”

5. While he was still speaking, see, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And see, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I did delight. Hear Him!”

6. And when the taught ones heard, they fell on their faces and were much afraid.

7. But יהושע came near and touched them and said, “Rise, and do not be afraid.”

8. And having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but יהושע only.

9. And as they were coming down from the mountain, יהושע commanded them, saying, “Do not mention the vision to anyone until the Son of Aḏam is raised from the dead.”

10. And His taught ones asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Ěliyahu has to come first?”

11. And יהושע answering, said to them, “Ěliyahu is indeed coming first, and shall restore all matters.

12. “But I say to you that Ěliyahu has already come, and they did not recognise him but did to him whatever they wished. In this way the Son of Aḏam is also about to suffer by them.”

13. Then the taught ones understood that He had spoken to them about Yoḥanan the Immerser.

14. And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,

15. “Master, have compassion on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers badly, for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
