1 Seis días después, Jesús, con Pedro, y Jacobo y Juan (que eran hermanos), subió a la cima de un elevado monte para estar a solas.
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 Allí Jesús se transfiguró delante de los discípulos. Su rostro se volvió brillante como el sol, y su ropa blanca 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 De pronto, Moisés y Elías aparecieron y se pusieron a hablar con él.
3 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
4 Pedro, atónito, balbució: ―Señor, ¡qué bueno que nos pudiéramos quedar aquí! Si quieres, podemos hacer tres enramadas: una para ti, otra para Moisés y otra 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 Pero mientras hablaba, una nube resplandeciente los cubrió y una voz dijo desde la nube: «Este es mi Hijo amado; en él me complazco. Obedézcanlo».
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 Los discípulos se postraron en tierra temblando de miedo.
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
7 Jesús se les acercó y los tocó. ―Levántense —les dijo—. No tengan miedo.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
8 Y al levantar la mirada, encontraron a Jesús solo.
8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
9 Al descender de la montaña, Jesús les ordenó que no le dijeran a nadie lo que habían visto, hasta que él se levantara de entre 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 Los discípulos le preguntaron: ―¿Por qué los maestros de religión insisten en que Elías regresará antes que aparezca el Mesías?
10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 ―Ellos tienen razón —les respondió Jesús—. Elías tiene que venir a poner las cosas en orden.
11 Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;
12 Y, en efecto, ya vino, pero en vez de reconocerlo, lo trataron con la misma crueldad con que me tratarán a mí, que soy el Hijo del hombre.
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 Los discípulos comprendieron que se refería a Juan el Bautista.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
14 Cuando llegaron al valle, la gente los esperaba; y un hombre corrió y se puso de rodillas ante Jesús.
14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,
15 ―Señor —dijo—, ten misericordia de mi hijo, que está enfermo de la mente y padece muchísimo. Muchas veces se cae en el fuego o en el agua, con peligro de su vida.
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 Lo traje a tus discípulos; pero no pudieron curarlo.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
17 ―¡Oh generación incrédula y perversa! —dijo Jesús—. ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que soportarlos? ¡Tráiganme al muchacho!
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 Jesús reprendió al demonio que estaba en el muchacho, y el demonio salió. Desde aquel instante el muchacho quedó bien.
18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
19 Más tarde, los discípulos le preguntaron en privado a Jesús: ―¿Por qué no pudimos echar fuera aquel demonio?
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
20 ―Porque tienen muy poca fe —les respondió Jesús—. Si tuvieran siquiera una fe tan pequeña como un grano de mostaza, podrían decirle a aquella montaña que se quitara de en medio y se quitaría. Nada les sería 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 Pero este tipo de demonio no sale a menos que uno haya orado y ayunado.
21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
22 Un día, estando aún en Galilea, les dijo: «Alguien me va a traicionar y me va a entregar a los que quieren matarme,
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 pero al tercer día resucitaré». Los discípulos se estremecieron de tristeza y temor.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
24 Al llegar a Capernaúm, los cobradores de impuestos del templo le preguntaron a Pedro: ―Tu Maestro, ¿paga impuestos?
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 ―¡Claro que los paga! —les respondió Pedro—, e inmediatamente entró a la casa a hablarle a Jesús sobre el asunto. No había pronunciado todavía la primera palabra, cuando Jesús le preguntó: —¿A quién crees tú, Pedro, que cobran tributos los reyes de la tierra? ¿A sus súbditos o a los extranjeros?
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 ―A los extranjeros, claro —respondió Pedro.
26 Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
27 ―Entonces, los suyos quedan exentos, ¿verdad? —añadió Jesús—. Sin embargo, para que no se ofendan, vete al lago y echa el anzuelo, pues en la boca del primer pez que saques hallarás una moneda que alcanzará para tus impuestos y los míos.
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 …

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 …
