Matthew 17 Darby Translation
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 And after six days Jesus takes with [him] Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart.
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:
2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light;
2 Y se transfiguró delante de ellos; y resplandeció su rostro como el sol, y sus vestidos fueron blancos como la luz.
3 and lo, Moses and Elias appeared to them talking with him.
3 Y he aquí les aparecieron Moisés y Elías, hablando con él.
4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good we should be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elias.
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.
5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear 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.
6 And the disciples hearing [it] fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified.
6 Y oyendo esto los discípulos, cayeron sobre sus rostros, y temieron en gran manera.
7 And Jesus coming to [them] touched them, and said, Rise up, and be not terrified.
7 Entonces Jesús llegando, los tocó, y dijo: Levantaos, y no temáis.
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone.
8 Y alzando ellos sus ojos, á nadie vieron, sino á solo Jesús.
9 And as they descended from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man be risen up from among [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.
10 And [his] disciples demanded of him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first have come?
10 Entonces sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Por qué dicen pues los escribas que es menester que Elías venga primero?
11 And he answering said to them, Elias indeed comes first and will restore all things.
11 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: A la verdad, Elías vendrá primero, y restituirá todas las cosas.
12 But I say unto you that Elias has already come, and they have not known him, but have done unto him whatever they would. Thus also the Son of man is about to 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.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the baptist.
13 Los discípulos entonces entendieron, que les habló de Juan el Bautista.
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, falling on his knees before him, and saying,
14 Y como ellos llegaron al gentío, vino á él un hombre hincándosele de rodillas,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and suffers sorely; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
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.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.
16 Y le he presentado á tus discípulos, y no le han podido sanar.
17 And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.
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.
18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.
18 Y Jesús le reprendió, y salió el demonio de él; y el mozo fué sano desde aquella hora.
19 Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said [to him], Why were not we able to cast him out?
19 Entonces, llegándose los discípulos á Jesús, aparte, dijeron: ¿Por qué nosotros no lo pudimos echar fuera?
20 And he says to them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye shall say to this mountain, Be transported hence there, and it shall transport itself; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
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.
21 But this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.
21 Mas este linaje no sale sino por oración y ayuno.
22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into [the] hands of men,
22 Y estando ellos en Galilea, Jesús les dijo: El Hijo del hombre será entregado en manos de hombres,
23 and they shall kill him; and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were greatly grieved.
23 Y le matarán; mas al tercer día resucitará. Y ellos se entristecieron en gran manera.
24 And when they came to Capernaum, those who received the didrachmas came to Peter and said, Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas?
24 Y como llegaron á Capernaum, vinieron á Pedro los que cobraban las dos dracmas, y dijeron: ¿Vuestro Maestro no paga las dos dracmas?
25 He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers?
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?
26 Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.
26 Pedro le dice: De los extraños. Jesús le dijo: Luego los hijos son francos.
27 But that we may not be an offence to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when thou hast opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater; take that and give it to them for me and thee.
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.

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 …

Not then from the Scriptures did they know this, but the Scribes used to explain themselves, and this saying was reported abroad amongst the ignorant people; as about Christ also.

Again, five men are said to have been with the Lord when He obtained testimony from the Father,--namely, Peter, and James, and John, and Moses, and Elias.
Was it in that manner in which the voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son"? For that voice was uttered and passed away, began and ended.

Elsewhere, for example, He saith, "But lest we should offend them, cast an hook into the sea:" but here He saith, "Let them alone, they be blind leaders of the blind: and if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." But these things His disciples said, not as grieving for those men only, but as being …
