GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και μεθ' ημερας εξ παραλαμβανει Ιησους τον Πετρον και Ιακωβον και Ιωαννην τον αδελφον αυτου και αναβιβαζει αυτους εις ορος υψηλον κατ' ιδιαν?	1 And after six days, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and he led them onto a lofty mountain separately.
2 και μετεμορφωθη εμπροσθεν αυτων, και ελαμψε το προσωπον αυτου ως ο ηλιος, τα δε ιματια αυτου εγειναν λευκα ως το φως.	2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face shined brightly like the sun. And his garments were made white like snow.
3 Και ιδου, εφανησαν εις αυτους Μωυσης και Ηλιας συλλαλουντες μετ' αυτου.	3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, speaking with him.
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.	4 And Peter responded by saying to Jesus: “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you are willing, let us make three tabernacles here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
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.	5 And while he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud overshadowed them. And behold, there was a voice from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
6 Και ακουσαντες οι μαθηται επεσον κατα προσωπον αυτων και εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα.	6 And the disciples, hearing this, fell prone on their face, and they were very afraid.
7 Και προσελθων ο Ιησους επιασεν αυτους και ειπεν? Εγερθητε και μη φοβεισθε.	7 And Jesus drew near and touched them. And he said to them, “Rise up and do not be afraid.”
8 Υψωσαντες δε τους οφθαλμους αυτων, δεν ειδον ουδενα ειμη τον Ιησουν μονον.	8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
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.	9 And as they were descending from the mountain, Jesus instructed them, saying, “Tell no one about the vision, until the Son of man has risen from the dead.”
10 Και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες? Δια τι λοιπον λεγουσιν οι γραμματεις οτι πρεπει να ελθη ο Ηλιας πρωτον;	10 And his disciples questioned him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to arrive first?”
11 Ο δε Ιησους αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Ο Ηλιας μεν ερχεται πρωτον και θελει αποκαταστησει παντα?	11 But in response, he said to them: “Elijah, indeed, shall arrive and restore all things.
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.	12 But I say to you, that Elijah has already arrived, and they did not recognize him, but they did whatever they wanted to him. So also shall the Son of man suffer from them.”
13 Τοτε ενοησαν οι μαθηται, οτι περι Ιωαννου του Βαπτιστου ειπε προς αυτους.	13 Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
14 Και οτε ηλθον προς τον οχλον, επλησιασεν εις αυτον ανθρωπος τις γονυπετων εις αυτον και λεγων?	14 And when he had arrived at the multitude, a man approached him, falling to his knees before him, saying: “Lord, take pity on my son, for he is an epileptic, and he suffers harm. For he frequently falls into fire, and often also into water.
15 Κυριε, ελεησον μου τον υιον, διοτι σεληνιαζεται και κακως πασχει? διοτι πολλακις πιπτει εις το πυρ και πολλακις εις το υδωρ.	15 And I brought him to your disciples, but they were not able to cure him.”
16 Και εφερα αυτον προς τους μαθητας σου, αλλα δεν ηδυνηθησαν να θεραπευσωσιν αυτον.	16 Then Jesus responded by saying: “What an unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I endure 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.	17 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
18 Και επετιμησεν αυτον ο Ιησους, και εξηλθεν απ' αυτου το δαιμονιον και εθεραπευθη το παιδιον απο της ωρας εκεινης.	18 Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
19 Τοτε προσελθοντες οι μαθηται προς τον Ιησουν κατ' ιδιαν, ειπον? Δια τι ημεις δεν ηδυνηθημεν να εκβαλωμεν αυτο;	19 Jesus said to them: “Because of your unbelief. Amen I say to you, certainly, if you will have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move. And nothing will be impossible for you.
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.	20 But this kind is not cast out, except through prayer and fasting.”
21 Τουτο δε το γενος δεν εξερχεται, ειμη δια προσευχης και νηστειας.	21 And when they were conversing together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: “The Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
22 Και ενω διετριβον εν τη Γαλιλαια, ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Μελλει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου να παραδοθη εις χειρας ανθρωπων?	22 And they will kill him, but he will rise again on the third day.” And they were extremely saddened.
23 και θελουσι θανατωσει αυτον, και την τριτην ημεραν θελει αναστηθη. Και ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα.	23 And when they had arrived at Capernaum, those who collected the half shekel approached Peter, and they said to him, “Doesn’t your Teacher 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;	24 He said, “Yes.” And when he had entered into the house, Jesus went before him, saying: “How does it seem to you, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they receive tribute or the census tax: from their own 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;	25 And he said, “From foreigners.” Jesus said to him: “Then the sons are free.
26 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Πετρος? Απο των ξενων. Ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αρα ελευθεροι ειναι οι υιοι.	26 But so that we may not become an obstacle to them: go to the sea, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish that is brought up, and when you have opened its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take it and give it to them, for me and for you.”
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.
