2 The 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Christ vpō the mountaine of Tha∣bor. 5 Christ oght to be heard. 11. 13 Of Elias and Iohn Baptiste. 15 He healeth the lunaticke. 20 The power of faith. 21 Prayer and fasting. 22 Christ telleth them befo∣re of his passion. 27 He 〈◊〉〈◊〉 tribute.

1 ANd*“ after six dayes, Iesus toke Peter, ād Iames, and Iohn his brother, and broght them vp into an hie mountaine a parte.

2 And wasa transfigured before them: and his face did shyne as the sunne, and his clothes were as white as the light.

3 And beholde, there appearedb vnto them Moses, and Elias, talking with him.

4 Then answered Peter, and said to Iesus, Ma∣ster, it isc good for vs to be here: if thou wilt let vs make here thre tabernacles, one for

thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloude shadowed them: and beholde, there (came) a voyce out of the cloude, saying, *This is my beloued Sonne,d in whom I am wel plea sed:e heare him.

6 And 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the disciples heard that, theyf fel on their faces and were sore afrayed.

7 Then Iesus came ād touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

8 And when they lifted vp their eyes, they sawe no man, saue Iesus onely.

9 ¶ And as they came downe from the moun∣taine, Iesus charged them, saying, Shewe the vision to no man,g vntill the Sonne of man rise againe from the dead.

10 * And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then saye the Scribes that* Elias must firste come?

11 And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Certeinely Elias must first come, and restore all things.

12 But I say vnto you, that Elias is come alrea∣dy, and they knewe him not, but haue done vnto him whatsoeuer they wolde: like wise shal also the Sonne of man suffer of them.

13 Then the disciples perceiued that he spake vnto them of Iohn Baptist.

14 ¶* And when they were come to the multi tude, there came to him a certeine man, and kneled downe to him.

15 And said, Master, haue pitie on my sonne: for he is lunatike, and is sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fyre, and oft tymes into the water.

16 And I broght him to thy disciples, ād they colde not heale him.

17 Then Iesus answered, and said,h O genera∣cion, faithles, and croked, howe long nowe shall I be with you! how longe nowe shall I suffer you! bring him hither to me.

18 And Iesus rebuked the deuill, and he went out of him: and the childe was healed at that houre.

19 Then came the disciples to Iesus a parte ād said, Why colde not we cast him out?

20 And Iesus said vnto them, Because of your vnbeliefe: for* verely I say vnto you, if ye ha ue faith (as muche) as (is) a graine of mustard sede, ye shal say vnto this mountaine,i Remo ue hence to yonder place, ād it shal remoue: and nothing shalbe vnpossible vnto you.

21 How be it this kinde goeth not out, but byk prayer and fasting.

22 ¶ And as“ they* abode in Galile, Iesus sayd vnto them, The Sonne of man shal be deliue red into the hands of men.

23 And they shal kil him, but the third day shal he rise againe: and they were very sorie.

24 ¶ And when they were come to Caperna∣um, they that receiuedl polle money, came to Peter, and sayd, Doeth not your Master pay tribute?

25 He said, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Iesus preuēted him, saying, What thinkest thou Simō? Of whom do the Kings of the earth take tribute, or polle money? of their children, or of strangers?

26 Peter said vnto him, Of strangers. Then said Iesus vnto him, Then are the children fre.

27 Neuertheles, lest we shuldm offende them, go to the sea, and cast in an angle, and take the first fishe that cometh vp, and whē thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt finde an piece of twentie pence: that taken, and giue vnto them for me and thee.
