Jesus Is Seen With Moses and Elijah(Mk. 9:2-13; Lk. 9:28-36) 17 1Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John the brother of James and went up on a high mountain. They were all alone there. 2While these followers watched him, Jesus was changed. His face became bright like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. 3Then two men were there, talking with him. They were Mosesa and Elijahb. 4Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you want, I will put three tents here - one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 5While Peter was talking, a bright cloud came over them. A voice came from the cloud and said, "This is my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with him. Obey him!" 6The followers with Jesus heard this voice. They were very afraid, so they fell to the ground. 7But Jesus came to them and touched them. He said, "Stand up. Don't be afraid." 8The followers looked up, and they saw that Jesus was now alone. 9As Jesus and the followers were coming down the mountain, he gave them this command: "Don't tell anyone about what you saw on the mountain. Wait until the Son of Manc has been raised from death. Then you can tell people about what you saw." 10The followers asked Jesus, "Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must comed before the Messiahe comes?" 11Jesus answered, "They are right to say Elijah is coming. And it is true that Elijah will make all things the way they should be. 12But I tell you, Elijah has already come. People did not know who he was, and they treated him badly, doing whatever they wanted to do. It is the same with the Son of Man. Those same people will make the Son of Man suffer." 13Then the followers understood that when Jesus said Elijah, he was really talking about John the Baptizerf.
Jesus Frees a Boy From an Evil Spirit(Mk. 9:14-29; Lk. 9:37-43a) 14Jesus and the followers went back to the people. A man came to Jesus and bowed before him. 15The man said, "Lord, be kind to my son. He suffers so much from the seizures he has. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16I brought him to your followers, but they could not heal him." 17Jesus answered, "You people today have no faith. Your lives are so wrong! How long must I stay with you? How long must I continue to be patient with you? Bring the boy here." 18Jesus gave a strong command to the demong inside the boy. The demong came out of the boy, and the boy was healed. 19Then the followers came to Jesus alone. They said, "We tried to force the demon out of the boy, but we could not. Why were we not able to make the demon go out?" 20Jesus answered, "You were not able to make the demon go out, because your faith is too small. Believe me when I tell you, if your faith is only as big as a mustardh seed you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. You will be able to do anything." 21i
Jesus Talks About His Death(Mk. 9:30-32; Lk. 9:43b-45) 22Later, the followers met together in Galilee. Jesus said to them, "The Son of Manc will be handed over to the control of other men, 23who will kill him. But on the third day he will be raised from death." The followers were very sad to hear that Jesus would be killed.
Jesus Teaches About Paying Taxes 24Jesus and his followers went to Capernaumj. There the men who collect the two-drachma Templek tax came to Peter and asked, "Does your teacher pay the Temple tax?" 25Peter answered, "Yes, he does."
Peter went into the house where Jesus was. Before Peter could speak, Jesus said to him, "The kings on the earth get different kinds of taxes from people. But who are those who pay the taxes? Are they the king's children? Or do other people pay the taxes? What do you think?" 26Peter answered, "The other people pay the taxes."
Jesus said, "Then the children of the king don't have to pay taxes. 27But we don't want to upset these tax collectorsl. So do this: Go to the lake and fish. After you catch the first fish, open its mouth. Inside its mouth you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that coin and give it to the tax collectorsl. That will pay the tax for you and me." aMoses One of the most important leaders of the Israelites during the time of the Old Testament. God used him to give the people his law, which is often called ¡°the Law of Moses.¡± bElijah A very important Israelite leader and prophet who spoke for God during a 25-year period ending about 850 b.c. In the time of Jesus, the Jews were expecting Elijah to come again before the Messiah. See Mal. 4:5-6. cSon of Man The name that Jesus most often used for himself. The phrase in Hebrew or Aramaic means ¡°human being¡± or ¡°mankind,¡± but in Dan. 7:13-14 it is used of a future savior and king, and this was later understood to be the Messiah, the one God would send to save his people. d17:10 Elijah must come See Mal. 4:5-6. eMessiah A Hebrew word that has the same meaning as the Greek word Christ (see ¡°Christ¡±). It was a title for the kings of God¡¯s people in the Old Testament and for the special king God promised to send as a ¡°savior¡± to defeat evil and establish the reign of God. Many prophets made it clear that this new kingdom would be eternal; that is, not only would the promised Messiah bring about a time of justice and right living among God¡¯s people here on earth, but also his kingdom would extend beyond this world to life forever with God. However, most Jews of the first century expected the Messiah to be a political ruler here on earth who would defeat the other nations and return the nation of Israel to a position of great glory and power. But God intended his Messiah to establish a new ¡°Israel,¡± an eternal kingdom that would bless all the nations. fJohn the Baptizer The man God chose to tell people about Christ¡¯s coming and to prepare them by warning them to change their lives and by baptizing them (see ¡°baptize¡±) as a sign of their decision to change. Read Mt. 3; Mk. 1:1-11; Lk. 1:5-25, 57-80; 3:1-18. gdemon An evil spirit from the devil. hmustard A plant that has a very small seed but grows taller than a man. i17:21 Some Greek copies add verse 21: ¡°But that kind of spirit comes out only with prayer and fasting.¡± jCapernaum A town on the northern shore of Lake Galilee where Jesus often spent time and taught. kTemple The permanent building in Jerusalem that replaced the portable ¡°Holy Tent¡± that was used by the Israelites from the time of their wandering in the desert to the reign of King Solomon, when the first Temple was built. Like the Holy Tent, the Temple was the center of Israelite worship, although provision was made for it to be ¡°a house of prayer for all nations¡± (Isa. 56:7). ltax collector A Jew hired by the Romans to collect taxes. Tax collectors often cheated, and the other Jews hated them.
