Matthew 17

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a highmountain by themselves.	1 Και μεθ' ημερας εξ παραλαμβανει Ιησους τον Πετρον και Ιακωβον και Ιωαννην τον αδελφον αυτου και αναβιβαζει αυτους εις ορος υψηλον κατ' ιδιαν?
2 There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became asdazzling as light.	2 και μετεμορφωθη εμπροσθεν αυτων, και ελαμψε το προσωπον αυτου ως ο ηλιος, τα δε ιματια αυτου εγειναν λευκα ως το φως.
3 And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him.	3 Και ιδου, εφανησαν εις αυτους Μωυσης και Ηλιας συλλαλουντες μετ' αυτου.
4 Then Peter spoke to Jesus. 'Lord,' he said, 'it is wonderful for us to be here; if you want me to, I willmake three shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.'	4 Αποκριθεις δε ο Πετρος ειπε προς τον Ιησουν? Κυριε, καλον ειναι να ημεθα εδω? εαν θελης, ας καμωμεν εδω τρεις σκηνας, δια σε μιαν και δια τον Μωυσην μιαν και μιαν δια τον Ηλιαν.
5 He was stil speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from thecloud there came a voice which said, 'This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.'	5 Ενω αυτος ελαλει ετι, ιδου, νεφελη φωτεινη επεσκιασεν αυτους, και ιδου, φωνη εκ της νεφελης λεγουσα? Ουτος ειναι ο Υιος μου ο αγαπητος, εις τον οποιον ευηρεστηθην? αυτου ακουετε.
6 When they heard this, the disciples fel on their faces, overcome with fear.	6 Και ακουσαντες οι μαθηται επεσον κατα προσωπον αυτων και εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα.
7 But Jesus came up and touched them, saying, 'Stand up, do not be afraid.'	7 Και προσελθων ο Ιησους επιασεν αυτους και ειπεν? Εγερθητε και μη φοβεισθε.
8 And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but Jesus.	8 Υψωσαντες δε τους οφθαλμους αυτων, δεν ειδον ουδενα ειμη τον Ιησουν μονον.
9 As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them this order, 'Tel no one about this vision untilthe Son of man has risen from the dead.'	9 Και ενω κατεβαινον απο του ορους, παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους ο Ιησους, λεγων? Μη ειπητε προς μηδενα το οραμα, εωσου ο Υιος του ανθρωπου αναστηθη εκ νεκρων.
10 And the disciples put this question to him, 'Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?'	10 Και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες? Δια τι λοιπον λεγουσιν οι γραμματεις οτι πρεπει να ελθη ο Ηλιας πρωτον;
11 He replied, 'Elijah is indeed coming, and he wil set everything right again;	11 Ο δε Ιησους αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Ο Ηλιας μεν ερχεται πρωτον και θελει αποκαταστησει παντα?
12 however, I tel you that Elijah has come already and they did not recognise him but treated him asthey pleased; and the Son of man wil suffer similarly at their hands.'	12 σας λεγω ομως οτι ηλθεν ηδη ο Ηλιας, και δεν εγνωρισαν αυτον, αλλ' επραξαν εις αυτον οσα ηθελησαν? ουτω και ο Υιος του ανθρωπου μελλει να παθη υπ' αυτων.
13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking of John the Baptist.	13 Τοτε ενοησαν οι μαθηται, οτι περι Ιωαννου του Βαπτιστου ειπε προς αυτους.
14 As they were rejoining the crowd a man came up to him and went down on his knees before him.	14 Και οτε ηλθον προς τον οχλον, επλησιασεν εις αυτον ανθρωπος τις γονυπετων εις αυτον και λεγων?
15 'Lord,' he said, 'take pity on my son: he is demented and in a wretched state; he is always fal ing intofire and into water.	15 Κυριε, ελεησον μου τον υιον, διοτι σεληνιαζεται και κακως πασχει? διοτι πολλακις πιπτει εις το πυρ και πολλακις εις το υδωρ.
16 I took him to your disciples and they were unable to cure him.'	16 Και εφερα αυτον προς τους μαθητας σου, αλλα δεν ηδυνηθησαν να θεραπευσωσιν αυτον.
17 In reply, Jesus said, 'Faithless and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with you? Howmuch longer must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.'	17 Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους ειπεν? Ω γενεα απιστος και διεστραμμενη, εως ποτε θελω εισθαι μεθ' υμων; εως ποτε θελω υποφερει υμας; φερετε μοι αυτον εδω.
18 And when Jesus rebuked it the devil came out of the boy, who was cured from that moment.	18 Και επετιμησεν αυτον ο Ιησους, και εξηλθεν απ' αυτου το δαιμονιον και εθεραπευθη το παιδιον απο της ωρας εκεινης.
19 Then the disciples came privately to Jesus. 'Why were we unable to drive it out?' they asked.	19 Τοτε προσελθοντες οι μαθηται προς τον Ιησουν κατ' ιδιαν, ειπον? Δια τι ημεις δεν ηδυνηθημεν να εκβαλωμεν αυτο;
20 He answered, 'Because you have so little faith. In truth I tel you, if your faith is the size of a mustardseed you wil say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it wil move; nothing will be impossible foryou.'	20 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Δια την απιστιαν σας. Διοτι αληθως σας λεγω, Εαν εχητε πιστιν ως κοκκον σιναπεως, θελετε ειπει προς το ορος τουτο, Μεταβηθι εντευθεν εκει, και θελει μεταβη? και δεν θελει εισθαι ουδεν αδυνατον εις εσας.
21	21 Τουτο δε το γενος δεν εξερχεται, ειμη δια προσευχης και νηστειας.
22 When they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 'The Son of man is going to be delivered intothe power of men;	22 Και ενω διετριβον εν τη Γαλιλαια, ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Μελλει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου να παραδοθη εις χειρας ανθρωπων?
23 they will put him to death, and on the third day he wil be raised up again.' And a great sadness cameover them.	23 και θελουσι θανατωσει αυτον, και την τριτην ημεραν θελει αναστηθη. Και ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα.
24 When they reached Capernaum, the col ectors of the half-shekel came to Peter and said, 'Does yourmaster not pay the half-shekel?'	24 Οτε δε ηλθον εις την Καπερναουμ, προσηλθον προς τον Πετρον οι λαμβανοντες τα διδραχμα και ειπον? Ο διδασκαλος σας δεν πληρονει τα διδραχμα;
25 'Yes,' he replied, and went into the house. But before he could speak, Jesus said, 'Simon, what isyour opinion? From whom do earthly kings take tol or tribute? From their sons or from foreigners?'	25 Λεγει, Ναι. Και οτε εισηλθεν εις την οικιαν, προελαβεν αυτον ο Ιησους λεγων? Τι σοι φαινεται, Σιμων; οι βασιλεις της γης απο τινων λαμβανουσι φορους η δασμον; απο των υιων αυτων η απο των ξενων;
26 And when he replied, 'From foreigners,' Jesus said, 'Well then, the sons are exempt.	26 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Πετρος? Απο των ξενων. Ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αρα ελευθεροι ειναι οι υιοι.
27 However, so that we shal not be the downfal of others, go to the lake and cast a hook; take the firstfish that rises, open its mouth and there you wil find a shekel; take it and give it to them for me and for yourself.'	27 Πλην δια να μη σκανδαλισωμεν αυτους, υπαγε εις την θαλασσαν και ριψον αγκιστρον και το πρωτον οψαριον, το οποιον αναβη, λαβε, και ανοιξας το στομα αυτου θελεις ευρει στατηρα? εκεινον λαβων δος εις αυτους δι' εμε και σε.
