WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And after six days, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and he led them onto a lofty mountain separately.
1 Y DESPUÉS de seis días, Jesús toma á Pedro, y á Jacobo, y á Juan su hermano, y los lleva aparte á un monte alto:
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face shined brightly like the sun. And his garments were made white like snow.
2 Y se transfiguró delante de ellos; y resplandeció su rostro como el sol, y sus vestidos fueron blancos como la luz.
2 He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, speaking with him.
3 Y he aquí les aparecieron Moisés y Elías, hablando con él.
3 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
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.”
4 Y respondiendo Pedro, dijo á Jesús: Señor, bien es que nos quedemos aquí: si quieres, hagamos aquí tres pabellones: para ti uno, y para Moisés otro, y otro para Elías.
4 Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
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.”
5 Y estando aún él hablando, he aquí una nube de luz [que] los cubrió; y he aquí una voz de la nube, que dijo: Este es mi Hijo amado, en el cual tomo contentamiento: á él oid.
5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
6 And the disciples, hearing this, fell prone on their face, and they were very afraid.
6 Y oyendo esto los discípulos, cayeron sobre sus rostros, y temieron en gran manera.
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
7 And Jesus drew near and touched them. And he said to them, “Rise up and do not be afraid.”
7 Entonces Jesús llegando, los tocó, y dijo: Levantaos, y no temáis.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
8 Y alzando ellos sus ojos, á nadie vieron, sino á solo Jesús.
8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
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.”
9 Y como descendieron del monte, les mandó Jesús, diciendo: No digáis á nadie la visión, hasta que el Hijo del hombre resucite de los muertos.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
10 And his disciples questioned him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to arrive first?”
10 Entonces sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Por qué dicen pues los escribas que es menester que Elías venga primero?
10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 But in response, he said to them: “Elijah, indeed, shall arrive and restore all things.
11 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: A la verdad, Elías vendrá primero, y restituirá todas las cosas.
11 Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;
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.”
12 Mas os digo, que ya vino Elías, y no le conocieron; antes hicieron en él todo lo que quisieron: así también el Hijo del hombre padecerá de ellos.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
13 Los discípulos entonces entendieron, que les habló de Juan el Bautista.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
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.
14 Y como ellos llegaron al gentío, vino á él un hombre hincándosele de rodillas,
14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,
15 And I brought him to your disciples, but they were not able to cure him.”
15 Y diciendo: Señor, ten misericordia de mi hijo, que es lunático, y padece malamente; porque muchas veces cae en el fuego, y muchas en el agua.
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
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.”
16 Y le he presentado á tus discípulos, y no le han podido sanar.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
17 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
17 Y respondiendo Jesús, dijo: ¡Oh generación infiel y torcida! ¿hasta cuándo tengo de estar con vosotros? ¿hasta cuándo os tengo de sufrir? traédmele acá.
17 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
18 Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
18 Y Jesús le reprendió, y salió el demonio de él; y el mozo fué sano desde aquella hora.
18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
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.
19 Entonces, llegándose los discípulos á Jesús, aparte, dijeron: ¿Por qué nosotros no lo pudimos echar fuera?
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
20 But this kind is not cast out, except through prayer and fasting.”
20 Y Jesús les dijo: Por vuestra incredulidad; porque de cierto os digo, que si tuviereis fe como un grano de mostaza, diréis á este monte: Pásate de aquí allá: y se pasará: y nada os será imposible.
20 He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
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.
21 Mas este linaje no sale sino por oración y ayuno.
21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
22 And they will kill him, but he will rise again on the third day.” And they were extremely saddened.
22 Y estando ellos en Galilea, Jesús les dijo: El Hijo del hombre será entregado en manos de hombres,
22 While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
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?”
23 Y le matarán; mas al tercer día resucitará. Y ellos se entristecieron en gran manera.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
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?”
24 Y como llegaron á Capernaum, vinieron á Pedro los que cobraban las dos dracmas, y dijeron: ¿Vuestro Maestro no paga las dos dracmas?
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”
25 And he said, “From foreigners.” Jesus said to him: “Then the sons are free.
25 El dice: Sí. Y entrando él en casa, Jesús le habló antes, diciendo: ¿Qué te parece, Simón? Los reyes de la tierra, ¿de quién cobran los tributos ó el censo? ¿de sus hijos ó de los extraños?
25 He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”
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.”
26 Pedro le dice: De los extraños. Jesús le dijo: Luego los hijos son francos. 27 Mas porque no los escandalicemos, ve á la mar, y echa el anzuelo, y el primer pez que viniere, tómalo, y abierta su boca, hallarás un estatero: tómalo, y dáselo por mí y por ti.
26 Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt. 27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
We must now look into and treat of that vision which the Lord showed on the mount. For it is this of which He had said, "Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the Son of Man in His Kingdom." Then began the passage which has just been …
